It was a legit question. Your link is about EU regulation, not actual transfer mechanics. Your bank does not have your money because it has lent it to someone else. If a bank has 5 business days to make a transfer then it can buy bonds, put

>government isn’t perfect _(it actively extracts value from you using monetary methods)_ therefore crypto is better _(by giving you alternative)_ This makes no sense. Ok, fine with me.

Crypto is qualified as property and regulated in a very similar way. There is a market for borrowing using tokens regulated by digital assets act (цифровые финансовые активы).

How about sending money in seconds? Do you realizes capital requirements and cross border implications?

As a Russian I can attest - you can do crypto in Russia and it is one of a very few ways many friends of mine support their families from abroad.

Please tell me about a better system that would let me send money from EU to Russia to help my mother buy her medicine?

Stablecoins work just fine. Not sure what is the problem you are referring to?

Settlement is on chain which removes clearing house, exchange and brokerages from the picture.

Which country? Mind you, at least 50% of population are in countries where votes do not work the way you’d think they do. Even in US, how easy would it be to change zoning regulation to promote more housing.

You can equally ask what was inflation of natural gold and diamonds. It was zero since there is fixed amount of gold and diamonds on the planet. Same with bitcoin.

BTC is deflationary by design.

by kikimora 11mo ago
What is BTC inflation? How much BTC was printed by government in recent years? And of course - how much it grew in value? In other words: * deflationary nature * independence of any government * speculation Governments will keep printing m

Especially true now with Claude generating decent terraform code. I was shocked how good it is at knowing AWS gotchas. It also debug connectivity issues almost automagically. While I hate how it writes code I love how it writes terraform.

Isn’t the problem comes down to proxy not rejecting a request with two Content-Length headers? If proxy and upstream parse HTTP correctly they would either won’t touch data past the Content-Length or they would never see two HTTP requests e

In Smalltalk there is no if statement, but there is ifTrue and ifFalse methods in a Boolean variable. This is one example how to create custom control flow with non-local returns and blocks. Ruby follows suite.

No, EV are too heavy. On an actual track they loose to lighter ICE cars since they corner better. Plus for a prolonged race EV might run out of battery.

The only problem I see with this approach is lack of standard data structures allocated in native memory. In GC memory you have collections and strings. In native memory you would have to create such data structures yourself. Plus figure ou
