don't make me mute these nostrich house bots

The United Arab Emirates, and Dubai specifically, are fascinating models of a meritocratic society. Free enterprise and risk-taking are championed. Immigration laws welcome anyone who can prove their worth (likely why 92% of residents are foreigners).

That said, it’s not a democratic paradise or one that preaches liberal values outside the marketplace. The absence of a social safety net may worry people who come from Europe or North America, but for many younger millennials who lived in highly indebted countries with few opportunities, it’s intriguing.

As a plus, it had a cosmopolitan flair that makes it more akin to 1900s Vienna, Paris of the 1920s, and Florence of the 1500s.

Technically, this is law from the last government, so not necessarily Milei’s doing. He still has a balance of power to deal with. That said, he could propose a change if the congress approves.

I have a friend who used Celsius and withdrew a significant amount of BTC and stablecoins after I told him to stop trusting that custodial yield stuff.

Apparently, as a result of the bankruptcy, there is a triggered portion of that settlement that anyone who had assets *90 days before bankruptcy* is now on the hook for paying back "higher level" creditors.

Now, there seems to be a collective freakout among those who withdrew their stuff before Celsius ever went bust, but they'll still have to cough up some of it to pay back other creditors.

Don't use these platforms! Self-custody only!

More and more, legislatures are abdicating their roles and courts have to rule on complicated technology matters. Will that make us better or worse off? Depends on your country

This should never be the case

Are nostrich dot house people just bots or some AI experiment? No way these are real people, despite the NIP05

Have been using lightning on bitrefill the last few months to pay for my euro fiat phone plan. Seems like the biggest hack
