Betting places like polymarket even the playfield. The gambling industry is rigged. Decentralized venues make it fair for everyone to bet

Since when betting is forbidden? It's not like they are socialists with a net worth of hundreds of millions

they just reported 1B from crypto ventures, so 57m seems like lunch money...

Again: None of the described above makes sense. Why would a gay furry shoot someone because he is not radical enough? You have everyone who knew the guy saying that he was very left-wing. Also, try to check some of the content of Charlie Kirk, many trans students come up to him to confront him on his views, for example https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SNcVnPkZlVI

highly unlikely some young guy who had a relationship with his roommate who is a transexual both being furries are right-wing. Also, highly unlikely a right-wing is going to shoot another right-wing because he is not "radical enough". Sure bud, if you want to believe so ;)

yeah, being a gay furry doesn't have much to do with being right-wing afaik

"free speech absolutists" that will defend anything that benefits their narrative but not others'

And do they? In practice? The theory is always sweet

Yes, they have access to the same economy.

you have one more voice asking a centralized organization for protection, maybe with some regulation

I don't want regulation, thanks. Just have backups or smth. Only looking for governments to not ban it in order to allow users to convert their BTCs to fiat currency. But that is already kinda in place, because old school investors are asking for it.

Ask that person in India if they're eager to "access to income the same way a person in the US would" (whatever that means)

It means that they can also earn a 100K salary in USD, thus not being affected by inflation

There is a fee, quite high in fact, and energy cost.

Depends on the L1 that you use. If you think of BTC, yeah, fee could be high (not if you are sending 1M), if you think of a proof-of-stake L1 then not much. Also depends on the TPS. Again; thinking about Hyperliquid.

I don't see how a trustless & decentralized system would cause feudalism. On the other hand, I see how our current "democratic" system evokes in neo-feudalism. We are all slaves to the government and the few conglomerates they favor, paying taxes to be more restricted. No thanks, I'd rather have a libertarian system and close to 0% tax, if not zero and practically no government.

No, you don't need to worship Amazon in a libertarian system, Amazon lives thanks to regulation (Amazon supports raising the min wage), and other import fees & tax exemptions that smaller businesses can't afford to bypass.

Which one are you referring to? What do you want to get all the freedom in the world and no effort for running a decentralized node? Staking blockchains don't require much resources.

Tell third-world countries that centralization is good :)

Centralization could be good, sometimes (if it works idk). The problem is that the financial world has been monopolized by certain entities and the barrier of entry is enormous. It is never fair to not play by the same rules when regulation favors big institutions, etc... Access to credit is difficult sometimes and unfair. But that is just a reason you could give in the US.

Decentralization ensures that countries that condemn their citizens to raising inflation can access other types of income. Some argentinians get paid in USDC, because their currency is just worthless in other countries, and they would never be able to access USD in their banks.

Decentralization (I have in mind something like Hyperliquid or even BTC) ensures that everybody in the world have access to the same economy without intermediaries asking for a fee. Which means, a person in Indian can access to income the same way a person in the US would. Or you could do a transfer overseas with less fees or regulation problems.

nah

but does mycoria work with NATs?

Is this like tailscale?

problems are the same but decentralized. You can't give a mortgage to an anonymous user, can you?

Too many smart people work on these pointless projects instead of useful tech that benefits society

Decentralization doesn't benefit society? umh...

But that also happens in the fiat system, so where's the flaw in crypto?

Thus, other blockchains emerged

memecoins have nothing to do with BTC. Talk about the price was always a thing because BTC is a currency, thus price is key. The tech is good, or it was at the time. I don't see the case for money laundering in BTC, only one could be XMR and mixers in ETH. Apart from that, in general cryptocurrency is not good for laundering since the blockchain can be tracked.

isn't most of the payoff from stock? which means that if the CEO gets a payoff it's because he is unlocking & selling stock to the market?

This is the reason a lot of europeans are choosing to leave Europe seeking refuge somewhere else more free :)

It's not traders who speculate with the prices (which could also be), it's the countries who where buying enough supply for months. Yeah sure, it could trigger a surge in supply in order prevent a shortage.

not transporting any gas and hadn't for a while

yeah, "a while" = 1 month. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/31/business/nord-stream-1-eu... "the most basic" aka cnn

Can you publish the "stats" here?

The hard truth is that you need a ring buffer and start discarding data, if you can!!!! If you can't then you'll have to wait or batch updates :) That's why functions like writev/readv exist

I am not a fan of trains, but it really looks amazing!

The "internal metrics" they refer to is the vague excuse of "trust the science" that we've been hearing about for a long time. I guess it is a way of detaching the responsibility of firing someone from yourself.

Does it have anything to do with recent pandemic events?
