Don't trust, verify. It makes sense to Visa since they are in the business of verifying trust. Proof of transaction history (ie credit) is public and inherent to blockchain, apparently this is taking some time to realize.

At this point it’s best not to bet against Elon. I’d bet his timelines are off, that’s always been the case. But his army of engineers know what they’re doing.

Standard FUD. Anonymous blogs with heavy dialogue to reach a conclusion? Where is the evidence? Oh it’s just a narrative. Tether is used heavily in Asia. The fact that they cannot audit Chinese inflows is to be expected. This reminds me of

I sent my brother BTC for his bday, he lives in Asia so it was actually just easier/cheaper to do with BTC. Welcome to the new world, it's your money, you earned it. Do whatever you want with it.

If a country bans bitcoin then the mining difficulty will adjust and the hashing continues elsewhere. Much like other p2p networks, Bitcoin is a borderless hydra that simply cannot be stopped.

Attacking bitcoin would involve the energy supply of an entire nation and a suspiciously large purchase of mining rigs.

Energy consumed is security in the network. Like a giant force field.

They're building apartments right next to their warehouses? I can't imagine anything more depressing than being fully surrounded by a megacorp that dominates every aspect of your life. For future's sake I hope they make these

Almost, Star Wars and LOTR are not really self propelling ideas that guide populations of people. The information is there, it's just not nearly as memetic. Although I would say that Star Wars has inspired a lot of space exploration, i

This is how Jesus/Buddha/Mohammed are real, not because all the stories about them are true or that they are actually divine. But because they are actual self propagating ideas promoted by real physical people.

You literally made up a quote attributed to me and asked me to defend it, and now have the audacity to accuse me of bad faith trolling? Ok

Mueller report concluded no collusion. If you can't understand that you've been psyoped pretty hard, might want to reassess how you intake your news.

It takes some serious mental acrobatics to read the Mueller report and then somehow think there was a typo in the summary that led to the wrong conclusions. Many outside of the US political circus viewed the whole Russiagate affair as a jok

So many companies cashing in on IPOs this year, good for them. I still cannot support a company that pockets tips intended for their drivers, it's pure greed.

A little caution to those attempting to find the most efficient way to lie down catatonically for hours on end, you're slowly weakening your body. The effects of this happen slowly over the course of years but you could potentially dev

I've lost a lot of weight through the pandemic which is surprising for me because I've basically stopped rigorous exercise. I attribute this to lower appetite, regular walks and little to no alcohol. I did not expect to lose this
