I know nothing you’re asking is in good faith but…
There’s a difference between your doctor being a little blunt about how you have cancer and aren’t going to live much longer and your doctor telling you that immigrants caused your cancer and his perfect tariffs are gonna cause healing like you’ve never seen and everyone will come up to him with tears in their eyes and tell him “sir, no one thought you could cure cancer with tariffs but you did it.”
Trump is the second one, in case you couldn’t tell.
- Comment on Japan’s most senior cancer doctor: COVID shots are ‘essentially murder’ 5 months ago:
If you read the original paper (that was of course retracted for inconsistencies and factual issues) it never actually links the vaccine to cancer. The entire thing is “people got vaccinated and also cancer happened” but at no point even attempts to see if those groups of people were related in any way. It relies on the reader to fill in the blanks and wouldn’t you know, the anitvaxxer idiots showed up to do just that.

The only two countries that accept bitcoin as a legal tender are noted powerhouses El Salvador and the Central African Republic… not exactly world leaders.

Tangible items can have utility in the real world, where cryptocurrencies can never be anything more than numbers on a display.
Gold can be used in electronics, and I get that people are mad that currencies are just something we all mutually agree have value, but generally speaking powerful governments back those up. Cryptocurrency is backed up by people promising it’s totally gonna be a real currency any second now. Please ignore that crypto can wildly fluctuate in value which generally a horrible thing for a currency to do.

Crypto is hated because it’s an MLM terminally online people.
It gains value because people want it and people want it because it gains value is both a perfect description of cryptocurrency and scams.
