If I had a bitcoin for every different opinion I've read on them, I'd be rich (even at their current price). Yes, I am aware formal credentials aren't everything, but they obviously are a lot. So, if anyone who posts frequently here or in the "Speculation" thread frequently, I would just be curious of what kind of credentials you have.
I got the credentials.
Then I got past them.
Fortunately.
PS: UNFORTUNATELY....
The way things are in the US right now with the government having taken over the student loan market, and the costs of education having quadruple the price increases of inflation on the average, one simply "BUYS" credentials and at very high cost, both in loans and time.
Personally I don't think such credentials are a good investment. At least in many cases.
A more interesting question would be something like, is there a M. Friedman, Hayek or the like posting on these forums? If so I would know from the writing and need know nothing else about the person's credentials.
