I have a million better things to do with my time.
And so does everyone's income. Which means saving money is better than spending money, and people have less money. This encourages even more frugal behavior, creating a feedback loop. This results in people losing their incomes entirely as fewer and fewer jobs exist due to reduced demand.
"And yes, you have to understand that it will be worth more, which forces you to spend wisely instead of being gluttonous."
Ah yes I love an economy imploding due to runaway deflation.
Ironically the evangelists are probably part of what makes it such a bad currency. Treating it like a stock and constantly shilling/over-hyping it makes it's price fluctuate wildly, which makes it bad for businesses and individuals looking to use it as a currency. But since the hype drives up demand for it as an investment, the price gets big spikes now and then (which nosedive once people start cashing out lol).
This then becomes a cycle where most of the market wants bitcoin so they can later trade it for more $ than they bought it for, while its actual use as a currency is limited due to the volatility.
Some people will only pay/pay more in bitcoin, so it makes sense to offer them the option.
I think the majority of people who actually buy or sell things in crypto are probably just people who can't or don't want to use credit cards and they buy/sell the crypto shortly after the transaction.
True. Which is why it's better to just use a privacy coin if you care about that sort of thing.
Poppin Willow is very smart once you get past the libtard brainwashing.
TBF Money laundering is defined as 'the process of making illegally-gained proceeds (i.e., "dirty money") appear legal (i.e., "clean")', so if you are just trying to obscure where your legitimate money is coming from for privacy/safety reasons I wouldn't consider that unethical.
I need to read about it more too, but my basic understanding is that you use cryptographic keys to prove that you are the person making your posts/changes to your account, in a way similar to how crypto currency uses them to prove you are the person who made the transaction.
How that info gets from my computer to someone else's is still a bit of a mystery though.
Fedi doesn't have any centralized server, it's more of a combination of the middle and right.
Nostr and Fedi actually have a very similar architecture, with the main difference being that on the Fedi you are reliant on 1 server which manages both your account and aggregating your follows/notification/ect on your behalf, while on Nostr you manage your account and all your follows ect, and you can use as many different relays as you want at the same time.
This should hopefully take the power of censorship away from the hands of the relay operators and give the end user the final say in what they do or don't see.
They have a wiki for this but they just use it for writing blog posts about how mean #[2] is.
How antisemitic.
A janny is a moderator or admin of a fediverse instance. Many of them will use their position and petty power to defederate individuals or other fediverse instances which contain individuals who get under their skin. When you defederate someone, no one on your entire instance can interact with them again until you remove the defederation.
Sometimes this power is used simply to protect users from seeing illegal or otherwise undesired content. Often times it is used to censor politics the admin does not like. Many times it is used just over personal beefs.
There are hundreds if not thousands of small leftwing instances which have other anti-fascists blocked for "fascism" which usually just means they had a minor disagreement on LGBT rights.
On the other hand there are right wing "free speech" instances which block people and entire instances for making fun of or criticizing the admin.
The end result is a system that create far greater echo chambers than any mainstream social media site.
Lmao I love the idea of normies desperately trying to disprove the idea that indians violently refuse to use a toilet.
They murder people for trying to make them use toilets.
Yeah but how? They're too far gone to be reasoned with...
