When the link is in a different app (e.g email client), the click event is handled by the OS and the URI is sent to the “default app” for that URI schema (for http/https, that would be your default browser). You can therefore reconfigu

How the hell does firebase enable users to interact p2p to exchange a digital asset from one vendor with an asset from another, or use them as collateral for loans?

Curve is optimised specifically for very narrow exchange rates between stable coins, the opposite of pump and dumps. Way to make a fool of yourself.

Why learn the actual basics of defi and how essential protocols like Curve work, when you can just read molly white’s blog and dismiss crypto for being a ponzi? Hell, why even bother to click on the Help link in the middle of the landing pa

It’s not up to me to know what you should spend your money on. However, your statistic makes no sense. Objectively speaking, many NFTs being minted are technical in nature, such as concentrated liquidity on AMMs; it’s nonsensical to compare

Actually, you’re the one who got duped, if you genuinely believe that every single NFT is a scam and that you understand them better than every single NFT owner.

This is called fluorosis and it only affects children. Ingestion of excess fluoride in early life changes the development of permanent teeth and causes white speckles.

For the record, the only clinical evidence about Novamin is very vague.
