The entire crypto ecosystem is a ponzi

- Frances Coppola

The entire crypto ecosystem is a ponzi

The crypto ecosystem has grown massively in the last three years. Many of those participating in it have made life-changing amounts of money - on paper, or perhaps more accurately on computer. But the problem with paper gains is that they tend to evaporate like the morning mist when the market turns. The crypto market turned towards the end of 2021 and is now firmly in bear territory. Bitcoin has fallen from above $60,000 in November 2021 to barely $16,000 now. For anyone who bought Bitcoin near the top, that is a mammoth real loss. And even though it is… [...]

The FTX-Alameda nexus

- Frances Coppola

The FTX-Alameda nexus

How did it all go so wrong, so quickly? Less than a month ago, Sam Bankman-Fried was the golden boy of crypto, with a net worth in the $billions, and his exchange FTX was valued at $32bn. Now, FTX has a gaping hole in its balance sheet, thousands of people have lost their money, and Sam is facing personal bankruptcy and, potentially, fraud charges. The short answer is - it didn't. The hole in FTX's balance sheet has existed for a long time. We don't know exactly how long, but the size of the estimates (ranging from $6-$10 billion) suggests several… [...]

When populism fails

- Frances Coppola

When populism fails

At the Battle of Ideas last Saturday, a panel on "populism" spent an hour and a half discussing everything except economics. Sherelle Jacobs of the Telegraph called for the Tory party to replace what she called a "twisted morality of sacrifice and dependency" with the "Judaeo-Christian" values of thrift and personal responsibility. And when a brave audience member asked "shouldn't we be discussing economics?" Tom Slater of Spiked brushed him off and carried on talking about cultural issues. Economics be damned, populism is all about morality and culture. But important though morality and culture are, it is economics that really matters.… [...]

Rabbit = Good Friend (or, how to take care of rabbits)

- Noah Smith

Rabbit = Good Friend (or, how to take care of rabbits)

Rabbits make great friends. Unfortunately, rabbits are not as popular of a pet as they ought to be, thanks to two big misconceptions. Let's start out by busting these myths.Myth #1: Rabbits can't be litter trained.In fact, most rabbits are really easy to litter-train. Just put the litter box next to the hay feeder, and they will litter-train themselves! Here's my setup:There are a few exceptions, just like with cats, but in general this isn't something you have to worry about. Myth #2: Rabbits aren't affectionate.This really does depend on the rabbit. Some are extremely affectionate, and will hug and cuddle… [...]

Why Kevin Williamson is wrong about poverty and bad behavior

- Noah Smith

Why Kevin Williamson is wrong about poverty and bad behavior

I recently wrote a post at Bloomberg Opinion arguing that "bad behavior" - drug use, violence, single parenthood, and idleness - is not the main cause of poverty in advanced nations. As evidence, I cited the country of Japan, which has extremely low rates of drug use, violence, single parenthood, and idleness, and yet which has a poverty rate almost as high as that of the U.S., and significantly higher than those of wealthy European countries. Since Japan has so little bad behavior and still has a pretty high poverty rate as advanced nations go, it must be the case… [...]

Fußball: Die WM und das Elend der Prahlhänse

Der „böse Russe“, die deutsche Geschichtsvergessenheit und die Blindheit der Berliner Außenpolitik

- Michael Schneider

Zbigniew Brzeziński, ehemaliger Sicherheitsberater von US-Präsident Jimmy Carter, bezeichnete die Ukraine als einen geopolitischen Dreh- und Angelpunkt. Und er erteilte den USA den strategischen Auftrag, die Ukraine aus dem eurasischen Block zu lösen und der EU und der NATO einzugliedern. Denn ohne die Ukraine höre Russland auf, ein "eurasisches Imperium" zu sein. Deutschland spielt bei diesen Überlegungen eine entscheidende Rolle. Jetzt scheint die Strategie, dessen Fußabdruck sich zum Beispiel 2019 im Plan "Overextending and Unbalancing Russia" der Rand Corporation fand, aufzugehen – oder vielleicht doch nicht? Der Beitrag Der „böse Russe“, die deutsche Geschichtsvergessenheit und die Blindheit der Berliner Außenpolitik… [...]
