I don't think it's appropriate to claim this (or explain it) when it's clear from my post I have tried to elucidate why time and again. To dismiss wha...

Repeating the accussation of virtue signalling just means this conversation is over. I don't accept it and you're crossing a line.

I've watched this and it really isn't informative. His explanation of mark-to-market is a bit of a misrepresentation. He doesn't really offer a soluti...

Oh well done, this time it's an ad hominem at me. Once you've read the entire thread and my previous comments on the matter we can continue.

Considering his name he probably has a pseudo fixation.

What's this? An ad hominem attack on a video? Hoe does that even begin to work? I grab you in the groin. Who decides whether that's OK? You or me?

Demanding a universal code before making the effort to self-regulate is obvious nonsense.

Why?

You're correct, which is why I said from "a trading perspective" as it seemed that was what Michael was talking about.

If you'd assume that it isn't confused and people can tell the difference then what do you think #metoo is about?
January 10, 2018 at 09:43
Yes, I meant to agree with that with my first sentence.

Actually, upon reflection, that's me thinking as an outstanding model citizen. Bitcoin price could be reflecting, next to the speculation, supply & de...

You don't need to as long as it's clear that it doesn't follow that introducing state assisted suicide allows social injustice to continue.
January 03, 2018 at 08:26
That doesn't follow and contradicts your earlier complaint about an unfair juxtaposition between the two, which you know argue for yourself.
January 03, 2018 at 06:30
whatever does that mean?

we have rolmops too but it isn't so popular. The picture Hanover showed is Hollandse Nieuwe and that's just different.
