IMHO the younger one looks like "average guy, not an elite", which is what I think he's going for.

I want Shazam but it plays the inverse of the sound to cancel it out.

This brings me the same joy as being sprayed with unwelcome shit at Macy's.

And when he doesn't, that means we're not fighting with the same weapons.

Every time someone says GDP is good for "the economy", I mentally convert that to "the rich".

That doesn't make it medically unnecessary, though.

It's a lot harder to shut down dark web sites, like the Silk Road that ran for years. Both the website and the payments need to be difficult to shut down.

On dark web sites you generally deposit to an account, so you'd only pay the Bitcoin transaction fee for deposits and withdrawals. As of this writing that's under a dollar, for any number of bets.

If you want to use a bunch of different dark web sites, and/or want improved privacy, then you can use the Lightning network, which has onion routing like Tor and drastically lower fees. Or just use Monero; my point isn't really specific to Bitcoin.

I can think of two big changes that happened around then, and both had long-term repercussions:

  • Nixon Shock
  • Deunionization

Although these are kinda related too, because you need savings to strike. Credit ratings are a horrifyingly opaque way for corporations to tell us how long we can last.
