> New coronavirus strain found in bats in China

And then what? Will the Russians attack Moldova?

Got the flu for the second time in a row just a week after the first one 🤭 This is pizdec.

In 2016 and still today China graduates five times more STEM students annually compared to the United States and even more than even Japan.

Your response makes me very sad 😢

Ability to control others’ emotions

I’m confident the EU will HFSP

That sounds like what I got from the website. There's a pressure pad at the very end of the device that you have to hold down during the NFC process. It's supposed to be an extra safeguard to make sure you really want to sign the transaction. Nunchuk Wallet added support for it in their latest update, which is interesting because they otherwise only support COLDCARD and Tapsigner. They must have been sufficiently impressed with the Portal to add it to their wallet. And I haven't looked, but I bet Sparrow supports it as well.

That debate with Guy was actually with Steve Patterson who helped Roger write the book. Roger is similarly insufferable tho.

He was an early & consistent promoter of Bitcoin, but he sold it as a way to make nearly free transactions rather than as a secure settlement mechanism. He brought many libertarians to bitcoin. His early dedication to Bitcoin promotion made him "Bitcoin Jesus."

When the blocks started filling up he started promoting an increase in the block size. He had decided he was one of the most important people in Bitcoin (the nickname didn't help) & that anyone who disagreed with him was a threat to bitcoin. He didn't seem to understand any of the technical arguments. He didn't have the knowledge needed to build bitcoin, but he wanted to control how it was built. Strangely behaving almost exactly like an antagonist from Atlas Shrugged.

He made a political alliance with the biggest companies in the space at the time (Coinbase, Bitpay, etc) & with all of the biggest miners. He got them all to agree to a hard fork that would not only change the code, but would also oust the developers who had been working on bitcoin up to that point. It was a social & political effort toward a hostile takeover. Roger basically said this was the intent many times.

Roger & co all felt like they deserved to control Bitcoin. Doing things this way was also going to protect the mining advantage that Bitmain had managed to create & patent for themselves via what was basically a bug. So they were demonstrating that decentralization & a sustainable technological tragectory were not their concern. Roger actually said he didn't really care if Bitcoin became Paypal 2.0

Roger would do things like spin up thousands of nodes on Amazon servers in order to make it look like there was tons of support for his fork, & then someone would attack & show that they could basically all be taken out at once because this was not decentralized & organic support for anything, or because sometimes there was actually a problem with their code.

Eventually the choice was between segwit as a softfork, & segwit with a hardfork that would oust most of the current developers. Roger's camp was basically preventing any upgrade by holding the upgrade everyone wanted (which would also eliminate the mining advantage) hostage as a way to gain control of future development (which also shows a lack of understanding because they wouldn't have really been in control of future development either). Many users decided to run code (a user activated softfork) that would evict any of the miners who didn't support the segwit softfork upgrade. Trading markets showed far more support for the softfork. The miners caved, not wanting to risk their revenue streams.

Roger activated his own fork with code changes as an attack hoping to attract miners away (further demonstrating his own lack of technical understanding & that of his developers). Bitcoin Cash went on to need many other hardforks just to be stable. Roger tried to sell his shitcoin as the real Bitcoin for a long time, & then Craig Wright did basically the same thing to Roger that Roger had tried to do to bitcoin. The politicization of changes opened the door to more political splits.

Why does their “money” need a CEO?

I need to get better at carving

for the first time, the #realy i have been building, shows a relay based feed on #coracle

so glad to finally have this working... was driving me nuts...

i definitely need some downtime right now tho damn

Dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki when Japan had already practically capitulated (there is a lot of literature about it) was a great idea, it is the best thing the US did, so we could test how we fried thousands of human bodies and left them a nice radiation for a few years, cancer was the best gift we could give to the Japanese.

If you are on the allied side everything is allowed BRO.

This bullshit logic is the same logic that allows you to sleep easy after your empire has bombed and destroyed Iraq, Syria, Agfanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Lebanon or allowed Israel to destroy Gaza.

Hey but Hitler is the bad guy 😂

Black and white, left right, that's the way we're going.....

As of today, the trump shitcoin already occupies the 19th place in capitalization, it is an absolute record in only 48 hours of life. In a few days it could reach number 1 and trump's shitcoin will become the world's reserve currency replacing the dollar and Bitcoin, we don't even remember doge.

There will be no need to spend money on a strategic reserve as trump controls 80% of the shitcoin supply, the federal reserve will be dissolved and trump bank will be created.

Trump dissolves the US government and declares himself emperor and buys the rest of the planet which is now called planet Trump.

The end.
