You have convinced yourself of having a pretty good idea, not to be confused with having anything close to a crystal ball's view.

I don't think this is an accurate picture for a number of reasons, first and foremost that these people regularly died from trivially preventable reasons. That luxury today takes a lot of effort from a lot of people.

I'm pretty sure most of white collar HN crowd isn't being ground into dust. It'd be cool to work less though!

What other companies are pushing into this space with similar offerings, but flying under the radar compared to all the bad press Flock has been getting?

I think news of such an impeding scenario would probably percolate through their circles first, before the wider media.

I'd like to see this site the week of the Superbowl.

Did you notice that this embedded a Gemini API connection within the app itself? Or am I not understanding what that is?

Or to put it another way, it's great at filling in the "don't know what you don't know" gap.

So much intelligence devoted to what is obviously a huge con - the Big Lie?

For the non-adversary who wants something similar in nature, that might help them practice, why not? Not everyone is trying to cheat.

Yeah, lithium mining is not even in the same ballpark as bunker fuel used to power large cargo vessels.

That's not actually how those were fought at all.

Well that's pretty easily disproven. I think it has to do with what kind of article it is.

Would've been better to just implement a land value tax.

They didn't.

It's wild, considering the cryptopunk thing is happening _now_, not in the 90s.

So crypto qualifies.

Tariffs create more problems than they solve.

Dubai is not more diverse than the US. The largest disapora of essentially every other nation on Earth reside in the US.

In the face of all of this, the US remains the most desirable place to emigrate to. The logical conclusion here is that the impression you have from news is not the complete picture. The US is massive and diverse. If you go by the county level, the US contains the highest HDI areas in the world.

It's pretty clear that both you and logicchains are here to concern troll, nothing more.

The first launch will happen this year using an existing Falcon 9 rocket.

Correct, though on second thought, given how slow many DAOs are to operate, the perpetrators would already be in some other uncontrollable currency by the time people voted to blacklist certain wallets.

A DAO could just as easily decide to do the same, but it'd need to be built into the smart contracts.

Another possibility is Ironfish(https://ironfish.network/), but I don't know how much liquidity there exists in either of these. I don't think you could launder/hide $4bn through either of these. Perhaps slowly over a long period of time.

Take a look at their community, it's quite interesting.

Tokenization opens a lot of doors that traditional models otherwise don't.

Polygon(ETH L2) has sub-$0.01 tx fees, fwiw.

I'm only aware of Dharma wallet, but I'm sure there are others - allows direct & free(well, except MATIC for gas I suppose) deposits from your fiat accounts onto Polygon, an Ethereum L2.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Mainnet can have high transaction fees. Virtually nothing else has fees even close to that high, however

Sure, here's a thread of people who enjoy participating in the space:
