Winks D will be fine if the rookie CBs turnout to both be solid players.

Quote from: beaugestus on September 23, 2023, 12:15:33 PMRich how much lane integrity can you expect when they rushing 6?
Quote from: Jaime on August 01, 2023, 02:56:15 AMGood point Ed. Rook WR's have to learn how to handle Press. Some may not be able to, therein lies the rub.
Can't recall a WR getting a 10 yard cushion in the NFL

Cash is an easy way to do illegal business if it's less sophisticated crime, not massive sums, and done at a local level. Mafia type activity and drug dealing within a specific local area is perfect for cash transactions. Much tougher when you're talking about higher level, more sophisticated, and more global type crime or terrorism. Crypto is perfect for that.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on December 22, 2022, 10:09:40 AMOne very fundamental and basic but (I think at least) important set of questions that needs to be considered regarding crypto is the following:
What practical purpose does cryptocurrency serve? Why does the world need it?
I think this is important because all legitimately great discoveries and inventions, and ones that have soared in value over multiple generations, have served a genuine purpose that has helped mankind in some way. They have been something that people either need or very badly want. I am trying to understand how crypto fits into that axiom.
Obviously, to be able to make payments digitally is not a reason why we need crypto. We do that all the time now with regular fiat currency, and there are all kinds of technologically advanced ways to do it. So that's a non-reason.
Clearly, cryptocurrency is of great use to any individual or group of individuals looking to engage in illicit, nefarious transactional activity. No doubt it helps serve that purpose, but that is obviously not an acceptable, legitimate purpose or need.
What most crypto people will give you as their response to this question is that crypto currency is finite, unlike fiat currency, which governments can print as much as they want of. I get that, but that's more a property of it than an actual use or something that people "need" or even "want."
I still have yet to hear anyone make a coherent argument of why the legitimate, law-abiding world needs crypto currency. If anyone here wants to take a stab at it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Quote from: MightyGiants on December 22, 2022, 10:36:04 AMThat Crypto currency is finite is true if you look at a given type of crypto currency. On the other hand, taken as a whole there is no limit on the number of crypto currencies that can enter that market

Wells Fargo engaged in some shady fee charges (from how I remember their issues). I am not sure that's the same as FTX who told people they were a crypto bank, give us your crypto for safekeeping like in a bank, only to spend the money they got. I think that's why Wells Fargo was fined and FTX had at least one arrest (that I am aware of).
In some ways, I would argue that the Well Fargo case shows that the safeguards that are put in place worked. Despite some questionable practices by Wells Fargo, the regulators protected the customer's interests.
Quote from: MightyGiants on December 16, 2022, 01:10:16 PMFinancial regulation, at least to me, is akin to the regulations governing the airline industry. Each time there is a scam or some event that costs people all or most of their money, there are regulations put in place to either prevent such an event from happening again or at least help people avoid such events. This has been going on for nearly 100 years.
Along comes Crypto with zero regulations. FTX was essentially a bank for crypto-currency. This would never have happened with traditional currency because banks are heavily regulated to protect banking customers. That doesn't mean a new scam won't happen, but the chances of being scammed in the world of crypto are magnitudes greater than with traditional finance, in my opinion.
Quote from: GordonGekko80 on December 16, 2022, 12:38:20 PMI beg your pardon, but I respectfully disagree; If the markets and the brokers would've been regulated to the right extent, this wouldn't have happened. Initially, everyone was happy because of the lack of Regulations, the independence from the normal financial system... but now this happened and most if not all are now screaming for Regulations of the Crypromarket.

Good to know that you're not John Clayton whom Sean Salisbury used to refer to as the Cryptkeeper, which was in reponse to his having been called, Mr. Backup. In any case, he was let go in Disney ESPN's big (300+) layoff a year ago. I think Clayton now has a Saturday Morning radio show devoted to the Seattle Seahawks. I wonder if he still has the poneytail?
As for Salibury, Mr.Dicpic was fired way earlier. Yet he too has a radio show.
In any event, we'd rather "listen" to you, Jess.
Cheers!

How is it going to encourage people to get vaccinated when now they are starting to tell vaccinated people that they must start wearing masks again. Talk about dividing the country even more!
