This is literally totalitarianism. What the hell? I shouldn't be able to say that I support the AfD just because I don't live in Germany?

How many EU politicians are poor, broke and humble?

You mean countries like Romania, who had their election forcibly cancelled because the EU is scared of Russian social media posts, and Germany, who thinks that a man giving a speech and promoting a certain party is election interference?

Are stocks, securities and ETFs backed by "physical reality"? Are treasury bills and bonds? If you are a goldbug who just thinks we should all be using gold, you should probably say so.

There is scarcity in USD, but no scarcity on Fiat. Every USD bond investor/hodler is betting the farm that the USA will be the dominant nation forever. USD is very similar to a cult or Ponzi scheme where you only achieve your goal if y

Keep talking about how the 9th largest asset on earth by market cap has "already failed". It's very convincing. Additionally, your definition of money is simply ludicrous. Your credit cards aren't money, then? What about

Do you think printing fiat money is somehow harder or less silly than printing cryptocurrencies? You don't have arguments against crypto, you just have arguments against money. "Anybody can come up with a different money that woul

>New crypto-coins can be created at the press of a button Oh? Can you prove this? How are you capable of creating new Bitcoins without mining them? Surely this big secret you have should be worth sharing.

Maybe it's a good idea to have a currency that isn't being inflated and devalued all the time with every little thing the government does. Kind of gold. Maybe digital gold? I'll call it bitgold. Or what about bitcoin?

Expect to be using cryptocurrency a lot more than you're used to in the future. How does native integration with Windows and all major operating systems/phones sound?

Correction: The USD is backed by a ponzi scheme where people who put money in have to rely on the USA being able to get more out to pay debt. If it fails at this at any point (which has nearly happened dozens of times!) then the entire thin

It's not about "needing" another one. The "other one" is already here, whether you think you need it or not. Will America play the leading role in how the world reacts to its existence, or will someone else beat the

I also wanted to say "function", because the main distinguishing factor is that 'real' crypto assets are designed to perform some economic or financial purpose whilst memecoins are not.
