Sounds about like a JSOW. We've had the capability for over 10 years, now. Basically a missile programmed to fly over a set of coordinates and drop submunitions. They would drop shaped charges over the runway to foul it and make it unusable by aircraft - then suicide the main munition into something.

Ours are also a bit more advanced than that and can handle submunition targeting/deployment on their own if need be.

1000 lbs is rather light for such a weapon, to be honest.

We can intercept it. I'll just say that.

Personally, I'm a bit of a fan of Monero - its hash algo doesn't scale into ASICs as well, so the idea of people running mining operations on their computers when they aren't using them and it being a truly more distributed network is more realistic. The ledger on it is, also, not quite public. Instead, a cryptography key can be issued to a user who wants to provide someone with an audit proof of a transaction. The public doesn't see each individual transaction. That means there is fungibility as if you are paid in monero, there's no real way for law enforcement to come along and say: 'the monero you were paid with was stolen five transactions ago by Lupin the Third and we'll give you federal reserve bank notes that we can print infinitely to compensate you for what you need to pay back in the name of justice."

There's also better support for other 'blockchain' features and it's an overall more secure system.

All that said - the crypto concept is rather new and I would caution against going full-retard in support of it. There are a lot of things that sound good, but both technically and socially/legally, there's a lot of unknowns.

The same argument could be made in regard to gold or silver. They behave similar to commodities despite the fact that they have been used as monies for thousands of years.

The answer is that since we don't use these, directly, for currencies at the moment, their value is almost entirely speculative as there is not necessarily consistent demand for the commodity as an exchange standard.

Basically, since no one is really using these digital currencies as an exchange medium - or has their value tied through some other currency, they are going to behave as largely speculative market commodities.

Which is why I recommended not going full retard into them. Even though, for example, I like Monero and believe it to be a better platform than Bitcoin - if I were to go put my whole savings into it, believing it will be the currency of the future - the whole entire standard may die in a sort of 'platform/console war' between the currencies as bitcoin has far more publicity and activity - or it could be some yet to be developed standard that gains universal acceptance - if crypto does succeed fiat currency markets.

The question many have had for a long time is just how the transition to a crypto standard of currency would look. At some point, major businesses and contract negotiators must believe the value to be stable enough to begin negotiating settlements in these currencies. That will increase demand and begin to stabilize their value to some degree - but no one really knows what will happen or if that specific question will serve as a barrier to prevent the transition from ever happening.

To expand a bit, back in 2013, when bitcoin really began to capture headlines, I did some rough calculations based on the total number of bitcoins that could exist and market capitalization figures.

I came up with a very rough (and certainly flawed) estimate that each whole bitcoin could hold around seven million dollars of purchasing power if it were to account for just 10% of all market capitalization in the United States.

So, from an investment standpoint, if bitcoin does become a currency standard, we are nowhere near what their actual exchange standard represents and the extreme potential that bitcoin value represents serves as a barrier to it ever being used as a currency.

Back when bitcoin was first created and had a small community supporting it - people were offering goods and services for 5, 25, 200 bitcoins - back when each bitcoin was trading for less than a dollar and no one really knew what would be coming of it.

The idea of paying 5 bitcoins for something, today, is absolutely absurd unless it is factory equipment or something.

Thus, if we truly believe it is the currency of the future and will absorb a significant part of currency transactions - the value I can get from a single bitcoin is possibly 1/1000th of what it would be worth as an official currency… so why would I spend it, now?

On the other hand - if no one spends them, then there can't be a price discovery mechanism, as you pointed out.

What I suspect will happen in practice is that as the state currencies inflate into oblivion, corporate monetary transactions will seek out cryptos as a means of securing their finances and operate in place of treasury bonds and futures trading (that is another thing that's about to get absolutely hammered - the futures market, which is occupying the role of what is historically held by bank deposits).

Few of these will be used as a citizen currency standard until after state currencies have almost completely collapsed or reverted back to metal standards. It may also be the case that individual citizens almost never really get involved in the crypto market, directly - with banks or governments serving as an arbitration layer between the crypto market and the average citizen market.

Quite a few of the daytime regulars like to think that if "Q says" Alex Jones is backed by MOS, that anything and everything that touches InfoWars is MOS.

For some reason, the idea that Alex Jones is backed by MOS as a sort of controlled opposition to draw in people who like to look under rocks and discuss agendas goes right over their heads, and it could just be because of autism.

I see a reporter who had the book thrown at her for an old 'offense' just days before her documetary aired. I don't believe that suddenly gave her documentary absolute credibility - just that the whole thing was intended to be a warning that people who ask too many questions will have their closets excavated for anything that can be considered a skeleton.

That's an absolutely hilarious response.

As if Millie and her husband savagely beat her mother and it took the police 4 months to get around to doing anything about it.

If I push a protester out of the way, it can be charged as assault in some areas. But do keep trying to insist I am immoral.
