@molly0xfff price of bitcoin will "probably not be zero sharp" says overconfident mathematician

@molly0xfff Reminds me of a certain US company whose commercials made the phrase "up to 15% or more" into a meme.

@molly0xfff Reminds me of the Geico advertising "You could save up to 15% or more by switching to Geico", which presents the following possibilities:

- You do save less than 15%
- You do save over 15%
- You don't save anything

There is no way you can save exactly 15% by switching to Geico.

@ryan @molly0xfff I think my favorite one is "up to 100% absorbency".

Good to know your wipes won't pick up more liquid than actually exists, I was really worried about that one for a minute

@molly0xfff considering how much he earns (more than Jerome Powell), he should be more precise

@molly0xfff Then there's Microsoft, "This could take up to 10 minutes or more."

@molly0xfff in most contexts if this was coming from someplace credible I'd simply wonder "why couldn't they just say it's extremely volatile and shifts based on factors we can't really track or predict."
