This will definitely have unintended consequences - once you know that your opponent cannot make the top move, you would start abusing it. It might be fun though - I am recently playing Fischer's chess on lichess.org and it is crazy -

Yeah, I know that. CFA Franc is exactly what they are accusing the Fed of doing, just without the good-doer facade. As ironic as it is :)

S. Arabia was already labeled a pariah nation by the senile old man. Just before they refused to increase production. So, no leverage there.

It is literally the most controversial concept in today's geopolitics. Study politics science in Dover - it is a conspiracy theory. Study PS in Calais - it is the exorbitant privilege and a cornerstone of global injustice. And it is no

What prevents them exchanging gold for $ like all other gold producers are doing? This is probably what they themselves were doing beforehands?

And it is going to fall more after the rug pull about to happen. Still, even in its worst, it is doing well against TRL, ARP, etc. And those are currencies used by many tens of millions.

The petrodollar is a really weird thing. According to its critics, it is a global monopoly on violence and pure extortion, to its implementors - merely a conspiracy theory. Please, before you clinge to the conspiracy theory label, check how

Most probably a crap lawyer - 90% of "lawyers" posses a single skill - to convince the poor soul using their services, that such a "deal" is advantageous.

I think you need to sign a contract with the firefighters before shit starts burning. Car insurance, health insurance, any similar market driven service would not let you insure AFTER the accident either.

So, Kuwait and other tax-free states have no currency or it is unstable? Let me check? Nah, you are lying. https://www.google.com/search?q=kuwaiti+dinar+in+usd

“Taxation is theft, purely and simply even though it is theft on a grand and colossal scale which no acknowledged criminals could hope to match. It is a compulsory seizure of the property of the State's inhabitants, or subjects.” M. Ro

There is quite some evidence pointing to that. SBF's ma and pa seem to be quite involved in the ban-cash crowd[1][2]. However, S.Nakamoto was always anonymous and Bitcoin never stated to be anonymous, not even in the white paper. I thi

Well, if I use some altcoin as a savings account, how is keeping custody over it going to save me when the altcoin owner decides to pull the rug? And 2022 has shown that when it comes to Ponzi-schemes, raising interest rates means harvest-t

TBH, BTC has always been quite alright, but those so-called altcoins are becoming more and more ridiculous by the day. Once the NFT craze was in full swing, I thought we had reached peak comedy, but it seems my imagination was too poor. Als

This is what Dorsey and Musk discussed in private according to court documents[0]. <jack jack>: “I believe it must be an open source protocol, funded by a foundation of sorts that doesn’t own the protocol, only advances it. A bit like

Population is not that different and the motivation and defensive advantage the Ukrainians have, should even it out at least a bit. But... When you look at GDP it is $1,578B[0] vs $112B[1] - e.g. more than 12x. And this is with an extremely

"better to test the legal system and ultimately waste a ton of money buying a failing company, because people on it are using it to call you names." This is such a bad interpretation of what happened, its akin to functinoal illite

How is murdering someone in peacetime ethical? I don't like the Ayalotah, but becoming an even bigger p.o.s. than him could hardly be a step forward?

Well, when your military is a joke after 30 years of underinvestment, this is what you do - watch by and squeak your teeth angrily. On top of that the will of actual Europeans regarding Ukraine is completely different: https://en

1. You cannot do that without bumping the price for the few remaining customers. 2. In some EU countries you would have problems with human rights legislation.

Well, it is entirely the state's fault - it wasn't me who cut off the only reasonably priced supplier who can provide enough supply in the name of some retarded ideology...

Non-payment is not that straight-forward, but is still a very powerful tool: 1. You cannot serve the remaining 50-60% of customers at the same cost, leading to cascading shut-offs 2. Electricity can also be stolen in many ways and this is e

It is really interesting why he is in prison. Basically for attending a tech conference in North Korea. Frankly, this reminds me of the Soviet times.

Alright. Could we get a list of those "forbidden topics" in such case. Besides, I don't see it starting a flame war - you are pretty much the only person who commented, but whatever. Apparently we are leaving in Peak Clown ti
