Absolutely. There's no storing value in something that regularly swings 20%+ on a given day. The only people who are saying this are holders of Bitcoin. It was originally designed to be a decentralized currency, and now it's not.

The narrative of Bitcoin completely changed from when I first got into Bitcoin in 2009-2010. It was supposed to be a decentralized currency and people tried to use it that way back then. Now, since it has failed to be able to scale and hand

I don't know if you're considering what Coinbase is when in alignment with cryptocurrency. It is exactly what cryptocurrency was supposed to not be. It's centralization, it's a bank. I personally have no emotion towards

When I download games from Steam I can only pull around 25.5MB/s, but when I turn on my wireguard VPN I suddenly can pull 95MB/s from Steam. The same happens with Netflix because fast.com is throttled. Comcast ISP.

The same reason, just replace with that generations Clear Channel lobbyists. FM/AM Radio is extremely anti-competitive.

Did they forcibly enter into the White House, or like outside on public property? Protests with injuries aren't uncommon, but I really doubt they forcibly entered a government building and threatened people inside. Police & militar

Agreed, there is a simple & likely explanation for this outage, being a huge increase in user base worldwide.

I"m not saying this is what happened this time, but I would suspect we'll see a lot more outages of encrypted centralized chat like this as nation states try to prevent general society from moving away from the social media websit

Didn't Signal just have a couple hundred percent gain in users, on TOP of the hundred+ percent gain in users that Telegram had? Signal is on top of both of the primary app stores.

Biden's entire career has been center right policy. There will absolutely be no socialism under Biden. People were sure Obama was a socialist too, but he left calling his actual policies closer to a moderate Republican[1] and I strongl

Not sure why you're being downvoted either. This scenario is completely true and it absolutely would've been marked as disinformation by Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc. It's being marked as disinformation now by Hacker News

Iraq war criticism would've been labeled as conspiracy and had warnings below tweets and Youtube videos, despite us now knowing there were no WMD's.

The back button was something I missed when I went to an iPhone 6S in 2015. Apple had back arrows near the top of the screen, which I could not reach with a thumb and one hand. Annoying.

I agree with this for the most part. In the early 2000's Americans were lied into the Iraq war, with multiple newspapers practically begging [0] for war, and critics were the ones on the correct side of history. If that happened in 20
