I think SIDS is a real thing and there is clear evidence that not using pillows or excessive blankets in cribs has reduced deaths.
I think sleeping with or not with your kid, is a much more complicated question and probably one where your instinct is right. After all, with a baby in the bed you can't help but be aware of its comfort, needs and amount of movement.
I agree, my advice to any new parent would be to listen carefully to advice about how not to drown your child while bathing them, and how to make sure they're not suffocated by their bedding. Both real issues where some simple practices avoid the small risk of an absolutely catastrophic outcome.
Then take all other advice with a pinch of salt. Just follow your best instincts and do what seems right. Your child will be fine, plus you'll be more relaxed, you'll appreciate the time with them more. You'll have more time and emotional energy to understand and respond to how they are doing as well as how you and your partner are feeling, and your instincts will get better and better.
Yes, when Craig Wright first came along it was great because you could tell from Bitcoiners' reactions how susceptible to hype/bullshit they were. Either you accepted obvious truths about how crypto works, or you didn't. Knowing this about members of that community in particular was hugely helpful. (Now even the grifters, hype artists and clowns have had enough of Craig's bullshit.)
Why are you arguing against your wife doing this? Even if you are technically correct about the value of bitcoin, it might still be a good idea, if it's money you can afford to lose.
You both might learn something. It might be fun. It might be a good story. Your wife might appreciate your trust, and trust you to take some other risk that you believe in.
Life is not a competition to make the most rational and well thought out economic decisions.
People often choose gold jewelry because of its value as a metal. Either because they want to be able to cash it in one day (a traditional form of family savings for some communities) or because an expensive gift is preferred to a cheap one, even if the cheap one had all the same physical properties.
80% backed by high quality liquid assets is pretty good. But insolvent banks avoid bank runs partly because lots of the money is sticky. Many people and organisations won't participate in a run no matter what, either because they think it's antisocial, or they believe the system will look after them, or they just aren't informed enough. A bank whose depositors are all cynical speculators has a much harder job to stay afloat.
'declare bankruptcy' is optimistic. More likely is that they disappear completely/fake their own death in a weird jurisdiction/get killed by gangsters/go to prison for child porn, etc.
