Unbacked tokens. You mean like Tether?
Exactly like Tether. USDT was never backed 1:1 by USD. They don’t even try to deny it anymore. They admit it’s backed by “various assets, including BTC”, which smells like a market manipulation.
How does Taler promote taxation?
“Customers can stay anonymous, but merchants can not hide their income through payments with GNU Taler. This helps to avoid tax evasion and money laundering.”
It’s not an investment. There is no lending or business plan involved. Speculation would be more appropriate term.
People should be able to have long term savings without playing the wallstreet casino. Gold and real estate has been used for cross generational wealth transfer in the past, but using houses to store wealth brings it’s own set of problems.
Unfortunately, the way institutional investors has been trading bitcoin lately made its price copy the traditional high risk stocks, which is the reason I’ve been so pissed about regulators allowing large institutions to touch it. While I believe this will be of no consequence in long term, in short term it’s pretty annoying.
Let me know how can I start saving without 2.5% yearly loss using EUR.
it might definitely be useful when used correctly in the future
I can almost see the monk smacking an orphan for holding the spoon in the wrong hand :D
GNU Taller is pretty fragile, though. One bank issues unbacked tokens and the credibility of the whole system goes down the drain. It’s the current financial system, just rebranded. Also, it promotes taxation which automatically makes it a cult & scam.
That’s interesting. I’ve initially written it off as a scam. Until I’ve learned about the proof-of-work.
Monero is great. Except for the fact that when the dev team dislikes what miners are doing, they introduce a new arbitrary rule, and everyone just goes with it. Having a process to introduce such changes unilaterally is a bug that needs to be fixed first.
Also, there’s a lightning network which allows you to transact bitcoin fast and cheap. Although the privacy aspect is still not solved there.
We also need a McDonald’s emoji, Pepsi emoji, Windows emoji and Mastercard emoji
bitcoin is not a company.
Good riddance. Long live Bitcoin.
It’s not about what they do, it’s about what people think they do! :D
go into a field right under a huge windmill
Must be nice to see them go up-close. I must add that to my bucket list.
rest of it reads like a copy-paste about the dangers of 5G cell towers
I was just about to say boo-hoo, a dog gone bald, but 85 decibels measured from outside your window is brutal. There’s a reason these farms are mostly built in the middle of the desert, on the oil fields, or near a dam, with no residential housing nearby.
Yeah, every medical emergency in town will be blamed on Mara from now on, but I’m not even mad. They’ve got themselves into this mess. For those who don’t know, they’ve built their entire marketing on being compliant with regulations :D
The whole thing is awfully similar to the wind turbine controversy. The reasonable people spend years assuring the public that the windmills are not going to kill them, and then somebody comes up and says “Great! We’re gonna build our windfarm right next to these houses”.
Government is better at X… because it can steal stuff. Yay for the government, I guess… :D
Distraction free? Look at all those number buttons looking like little faces. They WILL judge you, as you type. I’m pretty sure about that.
Gee, I wonder why? Why would they be afraid of a country preparing to conquer new teritory by force?
I don’t know who Steve is, but I hope he ends up in russia.
Aren’t smart watches almost universally bricked by default unless you undergo an online activation, sharing all kinds of personal information?
I’m stuck on miband 3, since it’s the last model sold unlocked.
This is actually the most shocking thing of all. We raise little misinformation spreaders all over the world, base their entire worldview on dogmatic believes and act surprised when they grow up and spread misinformation.
It’s frustrating, depressing and time consuming lifestyle.

No need to avoid such stores, just wear a protection to avoid your face from being falsely flagged.
"GhostWrite is the result of an architectural flaw, a hardware bug in the XuanTie C910 and C920 CPU. These are only two of many RISC-V CPUs, but they are widely used for a variety of applications. According to the research team, vulnerable devices include:
Scaleway Elastic Metal RV1, bare-metal C910 cloud instances
