People don't make the difference because for both bitcoin and shitcoin they think of making profits by selling higher than they bought. Somebody understanding bitcoin would never think about selling back to fiat

Unfortunately maybe not much is left after the end of the FBI years of J. Edgar Hoover, hope to be wrong

They are only banning themselves

One can argue that women's voting right has led to a more socialist political landscape but in the end it doesn't matter, whoever you vote for you'll get John McCain

Is it a last middle finger to the country or to Fauci, in the same spirit that he did to the party by endorsing Kamala Harris? By accepting the pardon, Fauci is forgiven for past crime but not future ones so if interrogated under oath he will have to tell the truth about everything or commit a felony. Bring them all to the stand and prepare the popcorn

Ross' sentence was longer that all actual drug dealers who operated on the website, how does it make sense? Two life sentence + 40 years is not only moronic and clearly shows that it was to teach a lesson to anybody defending their freedom to transact and hit bitcoin hard in the process. He broke the law, acknowledged it and with 10 years behind bars he has paid his debt to society and is of no danger to anybody

Price gauging is a typical made-up commie expression, price increase is only a reflexion of lack of supply, try to gauge prices for something abundant and you will sit on your hands selling nothing. A price spike is nothing different than a higher Uber price during peak hours, when more drivers come online to make money prices go back to normal

The cure for high prices is high prices, any anti-price gauging law stands in the way of more supply coming to benefit from the profit opportunity. Typical bureaucratic stand-off that makes things worse instead of solving anything

Gender divide, racial divide, why not generation divide? Just another divide and conquer strategy the machine is well oiled

A big part of it is eating home food (i.e., unprocessed), be physically active (e.g., walk) and a big difference with elsewhere in the West is that life in many places of Greece and Italy is very slow and not stressful. Stress-free life helps a lot for long-term health and longevity

Interesting, I would have thought that Italy would be on the recipient side

Boycott Russian gas makes a few bureaucrats feel good until the population gets higher energy bills and a real winter comes along. So yes Russian gas can be replaced by US LNG but until what cost does the good feeling last?

If it is possible to censor wait long enough and it will censor again. A better advice would be to move to a free protocol like nostr

10 trillions added to the US debt guaranteed! Or even more to push it to an even 50 trillion, politicians deliver!

Definitely switch it has become so easy to do now even for non-technical people. I second using Ventoy so that you can copy a bunch of distros on a flash drive and try a lot of them to find what fits for you. Then there is a FOSS Linux version for all Mac/Windows software

Excellent point, it's like selling investing courses or trading tips, if those are so good why not getting rich with them instead of selling them to others? So yeah, at this stage AGI is probably hype to sell to deep pockets

An even bigger state? Terrible idea the US need to break-up, not annex new colonies (i.e., states)

Easier ways to start are CoinOS or Alby account linked to CoinOS with NWC, game changing for every geographies

People are waking up to the fact that the world we live in is a Ponzi

Imagine the state of the UK economy if Brits scaled down of the pub culture, pretty much nothing left

The title always means the opposite of what they claim (e.g., patriot act, inflation act...), these late term accolades are an admission of how rotten these people are, thank you for singling them out
