Linux Ubuntu 19.04 full install on USB stick - fix UEFI/Grub

Even better reads: Data Consistency in Distributed System - CAP, PACELC My  Secular Philosophy - Life, God, Knowledge, Morality, Ethics This blog is mainly focused on my Philosophical and theoretical ideas. From time to time I have practical posts that are too few to deserve a blog by themselves. I still hope my other work (like above) is even more valuable than such practical article as below. * * * This article explains how to install Ubuntu 19.04 or similar on USB+UEFI, like you would do it on a hard drive. Regular USB install will likely fail, you need the fix below. Ubuntu installer has a bug when installing on USB using a PC that already has an UEFI boot system (like Windows 10).

Why Bitcoin will fail

This is not about a specific flaw in Bitcoin, however Bitcoin is a preeminent exponent of the crypto-currency galaxy. Any cryptocurrency that don't have a sufficient loan base have these problems. Bitcoin, especially, looks more and more like a Ponzi scheme that is just ready to blow. Only that there will be no Charles Ponzi to sue, only a lot of people that lost money and a few winners that sold the bitcoins before the bang. Or, with another metaphor, Bitcoin is like a global poker game where some will take the pot and the others will bite the dust. It may happen tomorrow or after years, but for me this is the only reasonable end. Until then, everybody believes they have a very good hand... Here are my arguments: No loans, no value
