the short term, these guys made a lot of noew3s. But, all of the noise attracted a lot of attention. The fact that the currency didn’t really drop after it was clear the SegWit2x, basically introduced a lot of demand. It took a couple weeks to start to show up. (You may remember how long it took you to buy your first BTC and how you gradually put your money in. Same effect is likely happening.)
PROMISE OF FASTER PAYMENTS: BTC’s biggest limitation has always been the fact you really can’t use it for much, other than buying drugs and paying off hackers. The transaction timeline has been a part of that problem. Confirmations are definitely faster. Problem is transactional velocity is WAY UP
KOREA’S CRAZY COUSIN IS SHOOTING ROCKETS OVER JAPAN As a result, investors are putting their money in BTC. In fact, Japanese Yen accounted for 46% of BTC trading. Add to that mix, a very unstable US leader taking the USD to depths-never-seen-before and you should have a gold-rush. Yet, gold isn’t as high. I think that’s the affect of BTC
US INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS ARE INTERESTED: Goldman Sachs published a report focusing their clients on BTC. John Mack (legendary CEO of Morgan Stanley) raising BTC fund. Fidelity integrated its platform to incorporate coinbase
OTHER “GOOD” NEWS: The meltdown in Venezuela has created a new group of miners, who use the country’s low power cost to make $500 / month to buy luxury items like diapers and insulin, while their country hyper-inflates their currency. BTC adoption in China accelerates as people are using it to circumvent currency controls. Switzerland – Falcon Bank (think very rich people hiding a lot of money) starts offering BTC and Ether offerings.

(11 People Likes) What harsh truth did you discover from dating a narcissist?
well-being, as well as the well-being of any children, depends on you ending the relationship. A true narcissist is unlikely to end the relationship that is working well for them. End a relationship can be quite difficult, especially a marriage when your religion, society and even social circle frowns on that. It also seems like giving up. In order to leave and be healthy you have to “give up” a lot. A lot of beliefs and assumptions you have, that have been engrained into your being since a child. No matter whether you stay or leave the relationship you are losing part of you. The parts you are losing may be different, but you are losing part of your psyche no matter what.
You will feel alone and abandoned. People won’t understand. You won’t know what to do. You will hang on to the relationship longer than you “should” have because you didn’t want to give up. You will think there is just something you can change that will improve the situation, but there isn’t. You may spend a fortune on couples therapy to fix the unfixable.
Another harsh reality is there is a high likelihood that you have one more more mental health conditions that need treatment – anxiety, depression, PTSD among them. You may also have one that predisposes you to be with a narcissist. Ouch, right?
The good news is that with some help, like therapy, to get through that loss you can actually come out better off – more self aware. You also need to deal with the issues so you aren’t over sensitized in your next relationship. If you go looking for signs of narcissism you’ll find it everywhere – like leaving the cap of the toothpaste. Your future relationships don’t need this.
But, beware, what attracted you to a narcissist to begin with will likely attract you to another one. At the beginning of the relationship your are unlikely going to tell the person is a narcissist.
I’ll also close with noting that the term “narcissist” is thrown around way too much. It’s way to easy to blame problems on narcissism that are really something else. In order for you to take care

Today I want to present a moral question, but some of this post may be perceived as crass. I assure you, however, that it contributes to the moral quandary, and is not merely intended to shock or disgust.
If however you are looking for a straight-forward answer to this question, scroll down to the last section.
Sextoy
What do you think of a sextoy laying around the house, in public view? It’s probably not ideal, but it’s not wholly inappropriate—particularly when “in public view” only denotes potential accessibility/viewability as realistically there is no one coming over. If you are a recluse, you might as well have all the walls of the living room adorned with the most shocking or aesthetically pleasing sextoys in the world.
What if it’s a single sextoy, in proximity to children? There are no labels warning not to keep sextoys around children. If any threat is to be perceived at all, it is merely a moral threat, as the sextoy poses no real danger to the child. If the child is young enough, it wouldn’t even know what they are looking at, and they may not even notice the sextoy in plain sight.
What if the child is older—old enough to understand what a sextoy is for? Here we begin to enter inappropriate theory.
And what if the toy is of a larger size? Does that have any bearing on how inappropriate it is?
And what if the sextoy is dad’s? Gender shouldn’t have any bearing on the appropriateness—or lack thereof—of the situation, but somehow it does. Mom’s sextoys are taken to be part of womanhood, while dad’s sextoys are taken to mean a myriad of less favorable things—in part depending on what kind of sextoy we are speaking of. But let’s not delve into a discussion about sex differences and gender identity.
The underlying question here is, should a sextoy be confined to the bedroom? Or let’s imbue some judgment for effect, and rephrase it like, “A sextoy should be confined to the bedroom, don’t you think?” We will get back to that later.
Human-like sextoy
We now live in a time where sextoys are produced that take on the form of humans—so-called ‘Real Dolls’.
First I wonder, is there a difference in inappropriateness in finding dad’s Real Doll compared to mom’s dildo? Or what about dad’s Real Doll compared to dad’s buttplug? Is it of any consideration what the sextoy is for, and/or what is done with/to it when it comes to evaluating the level of inappropriateness? Or is the size of the sextoy of consideration? Or the money spent on it? Or the time spent with it? I think all of these questions have a bearing on how inappropriate such a sextoy in public view and proximity to children is. But hold on to these questions for now.
Dad’s human-like sextoy
Finding dad’s Real Doll in the living room will certainly bring up questions the first time around. Whether dad had sex with it last night will likely influence how inappropriate its presence in the living room is, too. Is the presence of an unused Real Doll more inappropriate than the presence of an unused Fleshlight? What about used ones? Hold on to these thoughts.
Sextoy with AI
Now not only are we producing life-like sextoys in the form of Real Dolls, but they are becoming equipped with AI to increase how human-like they are. This will likely lead to even more moral considerations. In fact this is where things become interesting.
Some of these Real Dolls with AI are now presented as more than merely a sextoy. And indeed, to the owners they often were more than just a sextoy—even without AI. They are often perceived as romantic partners of sorts. See for example the movie Lars and the Real Girl
. This is often perceived as pathetic, but I think there is beauty in it too; flesh or synthetics, why is one partner necessarily less, or more indicative of the failings of her/his partner/owner? I’m hesitant to say owner because there is ambiguity in whether the Real Doll ought to be perceived as a puppet or a partner, though most would likely insist on the former at this point. But the introduction and technological advances of AI will cause a transition from puppet to partner—from sextoy to being.
Part of the family
Even without AI, Real Dolls were presented to be more than mere sextoys, but now that they are being equipped with AI, they are starting to become part of the household. Some Real Dolls with AI are said to have a “family setting”, and that they “do well with the kids”. As a result people have shown confusion, disgust, and concern.
Is it okay for dad’s sextoy to “cosy up with the kids”? And what if dad’s sperm from last night is still inside the doll? I know it’s vulgar, but hold on to that thought as well.
A sextoy should be confined to the bedroom, don’t you think?
Dilemma
The last paragraph amused me, because we just saw the same judgmental question return—more pressing than before—and yet we are about to enter a dilemma which may render the question nonsensical, or lacking in specificity. But it’s hard to avoid the moral dilemma we are about to face.
Before we get there though, let me repeat a few questions I asked before, and add one more. Is the size of the sextoy of consideration when it comes to evaluating (in)appropriateness? Or the money spent on it? Or the time spent with it? Or the intelligence it possesses?
Suppose technology of AI is so advanced that “Real Dolls” are effectively rendered beings in every sense of the word—if not human. And in any case, outwardly and behaviorally they would be indistinguishable from real human beings. Is this Real Doll still a sextoy, or a genuine partner? Is it inappropriate to let her “cosy up with the kids”?
Where then, in between the Real Dolls without AI or rudimentary AI and beings indistinguishable from humans, does it cease to be inappropriate to “leave it out”, or to refer to the Live Doll as “it”? At what point on this transition is a sextoy no longer a sextoy, and instead a true being? Funny to imagine though—a sextoy evolving into a being. I guess either way—whether natural or technological—sex is involved.
Partner
Is it of any consideration what you do with/to your partner when it comes to evaluating the level of inappropriateness of that partner? Is their size of consideration? Or the money you spent on/with your partner? Or the time spent with your partner? I don’t think any of these questions have a bearing on how inappropriate your partner is in public view and proximity to children.
At what point are the questions I asked you to hold on to rendered invalid?
Reverse
I wonder at what level of intelligence and functioning it would be appropriate for a Real Doll with AI to leave the bedroom—to no longer be rendered a sextoy.
The reverse of course is very crass—to consider at what level of intelligence and functioning a mother and partner (not AI) shouldn’t be leaving the bedroom.
The philosophical and moral considerations of these situation juxtaposed amuses me though.
The answer
To answer the question—well, I don’t think there is a definite answer to the question. It will be a smooth transition from sextoy to partner, and at least initially there will be disagreement on whether this AI constitutes a mere sextoy specifically designed for a person’s pleasure, or a genuine partner, who brings pleasure and happiness into someone’s life just like any natural human would.
During these advancements in AI, I would think that increasingly they will be seen as true entities, but it will probably not be a discrete moment when this happens—when Real Dolls cease to be sextoys and are wholle accepted as—or become—true Beings. Not unless there is some kind of revolution of identity which radically changes public perceptions of these notions. But just maybe a revolution of sorts will occur at the moment AIs are perceived to exhibit genuine empathy, pain, sorrow, and whatever “human” attribute we come to identify ourselves with, and/or shake our moral foundation to a degree that “machines” will be included in our moral and ethical considerations.
There likely will become a distinction—possibly also in terms of class—between natural humans and synthetic humans, but at some point of sophistication of AI we are likely going to be urged to at least acknowledge
