Even thought I'm kinda "ideologically aligned" with Página 12, I wouldn't consider it unbiased when it comes to country politics (quite the contrary, up to the point of not reporting news in some cases) from Argentina (A

Not sure how to properly put an adjective to it, but I'm doing some side money on crypto trading. I started with a rather small amount of money (~0.15 btc) that grew to around ~0.21 in two months before the shitcoin I was playing with

I really like that quote, not sure why you left the juicy part out ;) Yeah, I think basically the problem stems from thinking technology is an end instead of a medium; and even for those that do see it as a medium, they are not quite clear
