I don't want to go in an endless discussion and i hope you're right, or maybe even pessimistic. But competions always have winners just like lotteries always have winners.

Supply and demand are definitely influenced by either adoption or prohibition.

You and I may know prohibition of bitcoin is pretty useless but there are still some 7 billion who prefer to do what the law tells them.

Bookmarked this so i may repost this on January 1st 2026 because, to put it in a nuanced way, i don't believe this, or any other calculation, candlesticks, triangulation or gut feeling i have run into over the past 12 years.

Fiat price predictions are worse than gambling. I'm sure this will be incorrect as well.

Maybe add some I2P for good measure.

With Starlink soon having direct-to-cell coverage across the globe that can actually be used for other stuff than "just SOS" and other constellations to be added in the coming decade this looks like a weird investment.

Maybe they are looking into buying a company to also create their own iSpaceInternet?

Even worse: some of these items are very toxic, bad for your health and could even destroy your teeth and if you cook them they become worthless..

What a world. πŸ˜”

What's up with these ultra small square "checkboxes" that people need to tap with their fingertips that are like 3-4x bigger than the checkbox? Can you not just tap the rectangle that envelopes both the tiny square and the candidate's name? And if so, why are there these distracting tiny squares? If you want people to have the experience of voting like on a paper ballot give them a stylus so they can tap the tiny square.

I utterly fail at any kind of UI/UX but even i can see that this makes no sense whatsoever.

That is what people think will happen, and i think should happen, but it was promised by believers and not by code and algorithms
