I think a quick glance at the headlines on CNN and Fox News on any given day show them practicing the same type of intellectual dishonesty to further their narratives.
I'll give you OAN, that's an entirely higher level of misinformation.
Not just more specific rules, ones that just come later in source order too (with an identical specificity).
Oh, and more "important" rules too. "!important" overrides everything. Well, except more specific instances of !important, or instances of !important with the same specificity but later in source order.
Specificity is easy, the amount of specificity a selector has is measured using four different values represented by four single digits in four columns. (Of course, a single ID will override a thousand nested class selectors.)
And that's ignoring the origin of the rule (author, user, or user agent stylesheet).
Everyone that owns (is "enrolled" in) AAPL is "incentivized to get other people to buy" Apple products, just like BTC. These were the only 2 reasons you've ever given for why BTC is a "pyramid scheme".
You've said that both apply to Apple. So Apple is a "pyramid scheme" right? Or does the No True Pyramid Scheme fallacy mean Apple is excluded?
Is there a reason you can't explain the difference between pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, other MLM schemes and market manipulation? The most reasonable guess would be that you don't understand the difference.
This is not an argumentum ad hominiem, it's an explanation for why you're so wrong, and why BTC's not a pyramid scheme.
> I’m curious why would you take it as a personal attack
We're discussing BTC, not me. It’s easier to discuss this if you stay away from ad hominem.
Thank you for agreeing. So your definition is so bad Apple qualifies as a pyramid scheme under it. That makes it appear that you have no idea what a pyramid scheme is.
> so the owners don’t have much extent
...but "to a mild extent" they do, so your definition calls this a pyramid scheme. The no true Scotsman fallacy doesn’t work here.
> [BTC] is structurally a pyramid scheme
The decentralized blockchain? You haven't posted a specific reason to say this that isn't abstract, despite two desperate tries. There are no recruiters, there's no one actively distributing funds for getting new recruits.
Just curious, do you know the difference between market manipulation and pyramid schemes? Pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes? Pyramid schemes and other MLM schemes?
Or you just use them all interchangeably because you have no idea what they mean?
...and everyone that owns (is "enrolled" in) AAPL is "incentivized to get other people to buy" Apple products. So Apple is a "pyramid scheme" right?
"Pyramid scheme" is a real thing with a real meaning. Someone posting "BTC to the moon!" on Twitter does not make BTC a pyramid scheme. Typically people are describing market manipulation, and they just don't know what a pyramid scheme is (your post).
Do you mean "pyramid scheme" specifically or just "scheme"? A pyramid scheme recruits members for enrolling others into the scheme, and not in an abstract sense. Bitcoin is decentralized and there's no way to enroll in it, no one to enroll people.
de Blasio’s executive budget proposal has NYPD funding at $5.13 billion for the 2022 fiscal year, ~$230 million more than the budget adopted last year for this fiscal year.
You're accidentally arguing that providing more funding to a multi-billion dollar government union ("fiscal conservatism") doesn't reduce crime. Maybe take a deep breath before you regurgitate your comment the next time.
I'll give you OAN, that's an entirely higher level of misinformation.
