I work with many refugee children. It’s an important discussion to have :)

Just heard this song on the radio. Got hit by a wave of nostalgia and my mind immediately got pulled back to my 9th grade shenanigans.

i’d rather be hard to love than easy to leave

Thank you, I’ll take a look. I’ve only heard a couple of Muslim bitcoiners bring up the potential for bitcoin to transition away from a riba-based economy and I’m very interested in learning more.

All the more reason to find yourself a funny spouse and be done with the rest

How to talk to people about refugees and forced displacement:

This is a bit specific, but does anyone know a spot I can get a good fondant au chocolat around Paris?

If you do, tell him the neon orange clashes with his undertone.

Dude needs a new photoshoot or something solely so the media can diversify their portfolio of photos to represent him.

And all the handsome boys are on my block.

I don’t think it nullifies anything, rather to think it raises further issues. Proof of stake means to use money to ‘stake’ so you get get more money. Just from that simple crude explanation it looks like Ribaa. Now I’m not saying outright that it is, but that would be the first potential objection.

Now looking at whether it is Ribaa or not, it really depends on the implementation of the PoS. I’m not a specialist in PoS, so confirm what I say further, but with protocols like Ethereum, you lose access to your stake as a result of the stake, and you even have to wait in a ‘cue’ before you can withdraw it. Losing control of your money is one of the characteristics of a loan. It’s no longer “yours”. The fact you have to send it to an address you are not in control over is what a loan would look like on a blockchain.

However, not all PoS are created equal apparently. Apparently, and Allaah Knows best, you have to verify it, with Cardano, when you “stake” your ADA, you don’t actually lose control over it. It’s staked with a staking pool, but it doesn’t leave your wallet. So you could spend it immediately, as I was told. If that’s the case, then it’s not a loan.

So looking at the above, ie would “seem” that ETH is a loan that gets you profit (ie the definition of Ribaa) whereas ADA seems to act like a business partnership where you use your “reputation” to gain rights to profits owned by someone else who is doing the hard work of validating transactions.

The one argument to be made that ETH staking is not Ribaa is the fact that you have to actually do work in order to gain profit, ie profit is not guaranteed. That’s important, and you could lose your money if you misbehave, also something that is not a characteristic of a loan.

But the issue with PoS, for those who have issue with PoW is that there is even less real world tangibility than ₿itcoin , so if they have issue with BTC, then PoS would be worse.

What would you say to the Shafi’i (and other) perspectives that currency in Islam needs to be tangible and hard, with intrinsic value? That Islamically, bitcoin could be considered an asset but not a legal currency, according to some fatwas.

Gathering evidence right now.

Never been this offended in my life.

Can we *please* have a nostr meet-up in the LA area, I would attend the crap out of that ☀️

A person of good intelligence and sensitivity cannot exist in this society very long without having some anger about the inequality- and it's not just a bleeding-heart, knee-jerk, liberal kind of a thing- it’s a normal human reaction to a nonsensical set of values where we have cinnamon flavored dental floss and there are people sleeping in the street.

I can’t wait to have lots of beach picnics this summer.
