Interesting that it talks about the hardships that Germany has paying war reparations. This is one of the main contributors to the rise of Nazis some years later; Germans were sick and tired of their paychecks going to pay England.

Basically, these companies know that false positives happen. To them, it's just a statistic - they can afford to wrongly ban 0.1% of customers in the name of preventing abuse. But for the person they're wrongly banning, that'

Any experienced crypto investor knows that putting money into an unaudited contract that's less than a few months old is basically throwing that money away. There is another side to this, though, which is that protocols than have been

I think Circle is the real winner here. If there are 200 million USDC locked up permanently in some contract, then Circle can safely spend $200m of it's collateral knowing it will never be withdrawn. Or, if they were generous, they cou

Compared to Ethereum, stellar is simpler in operation, not as popular, and considerably more centralized. All those contribute to having much lower fees. Stellar plays nice with banks and other financial institutions, but still facilitates

Stellar works really well - you can just have users input a stellar address or make one for them. They'll need some sort of crypto exchange account to withdraw, though. You can send USDC or native XLM. There's a nice JavaScript AP
