The prosecutor might have bet that BTC was a risky asset/fad, which would make it safer to ‘bill’ the defendant in SEK. If this had happened, I would not expect them to be forthright about it.

This is exactly the intuition behind Cohen’s d — the standard unit of comparison for meta-analysis. You take the mean difference between the treatment group and the control group, and divide that number by the standard deviation of the depe

$300/month would be tough for me but maybe doable. At $10/day, you're having peanut butter, tortillas, and mashed potatoes for just about every dinner (maybe tuna and ramen sometimes?); you're only rarely staying in hote

I saved low five figures but I don’t expect to need all of that. On very rainy days, or when I need to do laundry, I typically go to a hostel or split a hotel room with fellow hikers. Other than that it’s really just food and miscellany…hav
