This is great. I just discovered that in firefox you can have bookmarks without a title. So if you put this as the only item and without a title into the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder, you have a simple button that you can add to you

Coinbase limits withdrawals in times when crypto crashes by removing the 'financial services' header in the settings where your connected bank accounts are listed. I don't know if they still do that, but I saw this as recentl

Time seems to be slowing down. The 'now' seems to have bloated far into the past. Events come but they never seem to go away anymore. At the same time the future seems to have frozen into a permanent stasis of potentiality, morphi

No, specifically unlike decentralized systems that are carefully engineered to prevent abuse. > A govt managed bank account will never be accepted or adopted. In my opinion you are severely underestimating the capabilities of the system
