I realized that Strike is also an option - https://strike.me/en/faq/where-is-strike-available-wr/
I wouldn't mind more options!
Thank you!! I will make those changes for easier readability. Where I wrote (Nakamoto) I was citing the white paper or attempting to bring attention to the white paper in my works cited. Did I do it incorrectly or do you think it’s just not necessary?
I really appreciate it!
Great work!
Sorry, it's a little too long for me to read carefully now, but here are a few comments from the first few paragraphs
payments networks exclude people from using them with bias towards their sex, religion, or what they may have said on social media that week.
This is a pretty strong claim that probably needs to be backed up with some evidence or citation.
On October 31st, 2008 an anonymous person or persons under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto proposed a solution via a white paper: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System (Nakamoto)
just say "person" instead of "person or persons", for readability. Also, no need for (Nakamoto) at the end of the title.
network run purely by volunteers
not entirely true, as miners are rewarded bitcoin for their efforts
Hal Finney became the second (to Satoshi) person to join the network
no need for (to Satoshi) in parantheses
Since then, the Bitcoin network and ideals have permeated nearly every corner of the world. Now there are hundreds of thousands of people “running bitcoin” and millions in the world using it every day to solve real-world problems
This would be a great time to bring up its uptime too! Very impressive for something not controlled by any single entity.
The townships in the western cape are probably the worst in the country. And the reason for that is simply space. During apartheid far less space and far fewer services were allocated to people here. The internal migration outpaced their willingness to zone new areas, as done for example eventually in Soweto. This is why I think it is so assinine for the government to focus on rural land use, when the much bigger problem in large parts of the country would be formalizing informal settlements and providing basic property rights and services to them. If you have a shack in a township it is not unheard of that your community just strips you off your property, or that a previous tenant just takes it over again. The land on the edge of the cities is often privately owned agricultural, or a national or provincial park, making land invasions likely and rezoning so difficult.
I think it's probably not as bad as the 70s. It's probably worse than the Democrats claim but better than the rightwing media tries to make it seem. That's how it is for LA anyway.
The playgrounds growing up in SA were awesome! Huge open face slides, big jungle gyms with decent height differences, obstacles that actually cost a big of fear to get over. And yet, after a few years , you'd still rather climb a tall tree :D
