It is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, so yes it is a cryptocurrency. There is good stablecoin competition in USDC, or, my favourite, DAI. Unfortunately I think exchanges like Binance are somewhat in kahoots with USDT which is wh

If you are sending 40$ over Bitcoin the fees will Be far more than 10% (4$). Checkout Nano or Stellar Lumens if you want to send small amounts of money without fees.

Funny how their posts show such a different approach to their browser than Braves. E.g. forking Firefox not Chromium, implementing functionality as extension instead of in browser where possible...

Bitcoin is more just used to refer to cryptocurrency in general. I think most people seriously using cryptocurrency these days do not use bitcoin.

Sorry for the late response. Yes, there is certainly a trade off which must be made for the increased security. Another possible way would be to use a rotatable key derivation algorithm, where you can provide the 12 word phrase plus a numbe

uBlock Origin is using Web Assembly now for certain critical code. Anyway performance differences between the two have always been negligible and often fluctuating.
