In our imagination, we can determine what goes through our heads. And in fact, we are very capable of directing our attention here or there. However, as modern brain research shows, most thought processes are relatively uncontrolled. Thoughts are suddenly just there, some meaningful and creative, others not.

Last time I saw this headline was 4 years ago. Must be a bullmarket then.
What I learned about bitcoin mining (so far):
1. Bitcoin miners are highly flexible. At times of peak demand they switch off their machines. They are bottom feeders and use energy that would otherwise go to waste. Miners’ machines are switched off up to 30 percent of the time and this results in the equivalent of taking about 1 million cars off the road each year.
2. There is more than enough energy in the world for bitcoin. Bitcoin mining can be done with wasted energy for example from a dam in Kenya that produces more energy than it can spend, or the Itaipu-dam in Paraguay. Bitcoin uses about 0.1 percent of electricity worldwide, but even if it were 1 or 2 percent it would still be ok because it is energy that is not needed and is therefore not taken away from someone who might need it.

According to the evolution of self-restraint early humans developed loyalty towards their partners in order to survive. Today it's called monogamy.

GM, FATF has issued a new report claiming that „Virtual Assets are increasingly used by terrorist groups“.
The only problem: Their statement is directly contradicted in their own report and lacks any corroborating data to back it up, while highlighting that *a lack of data* – particularly for peer-to-peer transactions – remains a main challenge to FATF compliance.
Of course, that doesn’t stop FATF from recommending that all jurisdictions „act rapidly“ to implement the FATF Travel Rule, which requires ‚VASPs‘ and financial institutions to „obtain, hold, and transmit specific originator and beneficiary information immediately and securely when transferring Virtual Assets“ to address the „emerging and increasing risks“ which, again, cannot be corroborated by the report itself.
It is unbelievable that an organization with *such* low standards is being taken seriously at all, never mind allowed to guide the implementation of AML/CFT around the world.

Terrorist groups and drug cartels again. Wasn't there something about the 50-dollar-bill being the most widely used...nah let's not go there today.
Dogs only bark and cows only moo, and scientists don't really know why humans developed language. One of their explanations: humans discovered the lie so they can influence others and steal a march on someone.
