The West loves to dismiss China research, but this is a brilliant paper! The discussion of the similarity between these fossils and modern actinobacteria and zygomycetes is fascinating: it could be the missing link between bacteria and fung

Good, it may take a while (I'd say another 10 to 20 years) but I see crypto replacing fiat, with the help of technologies such as lightning for the payment layer, after central bank crypto will have proved a failure. It'll just be
