All of MAGA is DarkMAGA

lol. Considering Trump’s past with multiple marriages, rapes, Stormy Daniels, etc, this will only make him and his people think more of RFK.

Yes, the article lists some of those reasons and it also mentions economic factors. I personally see job loss to be a huge factor in depression amongst people I know, hence my comment.

The economy is totally fine though /s

Funny how the poster has the same name as the website as well

Maybe, but the pager thing was definitely terrorism.

I struggle with the idea that “real money”, even as crypto, needs to be centralized and easily tracked. It’s not just about crime, it’s about privacy. The federal reserve doesn’t need to know the movements of every single individual. If I lend you $10, and you don’t pay me back, it’s both embarrassing for me and embarrassing for you, but we’re good friends and this is just between us. Maybe you could provide that sort of anonymity on a relational database, but it doesn’t have to be centralized. The blockchain tech gets faster and faster and not everyone has to be a full node, they could just run it at banks, maybe even with a bridge to other systems.

Anyway, I understand where people are coming from, blockchain was ruined by cryptobros and scammers. It’s not an inherently evil idea, it may be inadequate in speed as compared to Visa, but the idea that I could take the middleman out of any business while still having common listings, and make it a conversation between a supplier and consumer is fundamentally good. We do not need Sabre or Expedia taking 15% of every hotel or airline booking. We do need Uber’s secret pricing on rideshares. Very little value is added by middlemen in those transactions, where, in the end, the reputation of the provider is paramount- and yes, things can be set up so that provider can be vetted by third parties. The promise of blockchain is not NFTs, it’s freedom to do business in a different way, and some of the limiting factors holding it back are the lack of clear regulations for the industry, and a trusted stablecoin network.

It would be real money if the federal reserve issued it. Cash still exists, is that a feature for criminals or does it benefit the poor and unbanked?

Because electronic payments that do not require a middleman are inherently better than funneling everything through centralized organizations like Visa. They could make their own dollar based blockchain that has secure and private transactions based on their own stablecoin. It would be the same as a cash payment.

I’d love to see the federal reserve issue a no fee stablecoin, though I wonder if it would be secure in the long term with quantum coming.

Oh yay, another AI Pin or glasses or assistant thing that won’t be worth buying. Yay.

I’m mostly surprised that pagers still exist.

What a sore loser. It was such a huge loss that, rather than trying to force a debate to happen on Fox, he’s just going to give up and stop debating all together. He’s such a joke.

I think it’s going to be partisan regardless. Unfortunately, from this article, it’s not clear to me the length of their term. If they constantly have to seek reelection then I believe it would be even more partisan than being appointed for a set term.

I would prefer appointments approved by Congress with both term limits and a maximum age. Judges should have minimal political incentive.

It’s only important because he is John McCain’s son. Other people have spoken out and it was less news worthy.

His name is Jimmy. First paragraph.
