Thanks for sharing this detailed write-up! Firefish.io sounds like an intriguing advance in bitcoin lending, especially during this transition between fiat dominance and wider bitcoin adoption.

Exactly. A high-profile case like that could really reinforce their credibility and show they’re serious about protecting the integrity of the sport.

It is often referred to as "Lady Wisdom". Some scholars suggest that this is a poetic technique that makes the abstract concept of wisdom more relatable and vivid to readers. This personification appears prominently in passages like Proverbs 8:1–9:12, where wisdom is depicted as calling out to people, offering guidance and insight and so on.
Some other scholars suggest that the feminine personification of wisdom may draw parallels to ancient Near Eastern goddesses, integrating familiar cultural motifs to convey its messages effectively.
In addition: In the biblical texts, "wisdom" is personified as a woman. This wisdom is present as a female entity. This is indicated by the use of the words "she" and "her" in Proverbs.
Who is she in this passage?
