Well, are you able? Do you know how? If you were invited to try, are you familiar with blockchain decentralized ledgers, digital wallets, profiles & identities?
The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.
This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).
This means that the battle lines have been moved.
Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.
But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.
This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

@iang_fc@Noahpinion It's indeed astonishing how deficient far too many people are in basic mathematical economics in 'western' countries about the war in UKR & unaware of the escalatory supremacy held by RUS on the battlefield + inability of the EU or USA to turn the tide in UKR w/out starting WW3.
@regie2bme@U24_gov_ua So, the USSR didn't fight against the Germans in WW2, is that what you're really claiming? 🤔🤨🙄
Who then were the Soviets fighting against in WW2, according to you?
Are you likewise suggesting Andriy Melnyk, who Zelensky just honoured, did not collaborate with the Germans?
That's not what was asked. If you're intent on having a conversation with yourself that you make up in your own head, why bother?
If you're either unable or personally unwilling to make a distinction between a late unpublished 1990s paper by Nash & the 2008 bitcoin white paper, perhaps consider if that might be your own blind spot or ideology driving it?
Triple-entry accounting (TEA) extends double-entry accounting by involving a new witness.
Another way to say it: having TEA is always about more than just TEA.
#TripleEntryAccounting doesn't compete with double-entry — it extends it.
Double-entry ensures your books balance. Triple entry ensures the records feeding those books are real.

@RepDonBacon What percentage of Americans have a familiarity level of more than 2/10 about the history, society, politics & military of Ukraine & Russia?
How would the claimed "70% of Americans" interpret this 👇 image? How do you interpret it?
Meanwhile, do you deny I pointed you to Satoshi's 'extension' thinking in the bitcoin white paper? After I did here in public, you went on a months-long spree of writing about Nash + extension + Satoshi.
Yet what you've failed to confront or grapple with in humility as a human being (not just an academic) is that extension as I positioned it is "trans-evolutionary." In this way of interpretation, it makes sense to put 'evolutionary' thinking aside as human extension can be spoken about much more clearly, specifically & accurately than using that by now outdated, often biologistic metaphor.
Human extension in contrast to 'evolution' cannot be reduced to simple biological models or mechanisms, which shouldn't be presumed as sociologically or economically valid.
Human extension extends from human choices & actions, not from 'random or unpredictable environmental pressures' or some such definition of 'evolution' that Nash was sadly stuck on outside of his areas of expertise. Just like Szabo on this topic with his 'evolutionary hermeneutics', Nash likewise used the wrong metaphor & way of thinking & ended up with an unfortunately dehumanizing position.
For those of us who believe Nash wasn't perfect & made mistakes, his use of 'evolutionary' thinking is considered one of them. If the John Nash Institute refuses discussion of that possibility, it shows something about the unwillingness to face critique, which isn't good news for an independent British 'think tank.'
And understandably, Jon, as you continue to try to promote a 'John Nash Institute' of some kind in the UK, this is what you wish to avoid facing about Nash's late career 'ideal money' thinking that includes the misnomers political evolution, economic evolution, technological evolution, etc. Applied to bitcoin, it doesn't 'evolve'; it extends. Just as Satoshi wrote, full stop.
This is what you refuse to accept & only offer weak diversions of insistence so far in replies. Thus, I can understand why others would break contact with you, not because of any supposedly 'valid ideas,' you might hold, but because you repeatedly & insistently fail to take into consideration alternative perspectives that happen to weaken the philosophical foundation of your own claims in following John Nash.
Be welcome to try thinking about 'extension' as a different category of change than 'evolution.' It's easy if you try & you don't even need Nash to do it. This may help you overcome being stuck on the misnomer of using 'evolutionary' thinking in economics & when regarding human beings.
It's a category error that caught John F. Nash, Jr. & not a few others, though we now know more & have alternatives available. You can do better.
@JNI_London@famous_ideal It frankly sounds like you rub many people the wrong way, Jon, as you've done with me via bad scholarship by refusing to openly acknowledge what I showed you.
Since Ian didn't respond, I'm led to assume your pet name for him is a psychological effort to control what you cannot.
Which Zelensky are you today?
1/ The one honoring the Allied nations of the anti-Nazi coalition on D-Day
or
2/ The one paying tribute to Andriy Melnyk, a Nazi collaborator who supported the creation of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division?
It's getting hard to keep track of Zelensky's bipolar memory politics😵💫
Coincidentally, this same person just arranged for exhuming the body of, then knelt at the reburied grave in Kyiv of, a Ukrainian WW2 Nazi collaborator & also named a unit "Heroes of UPA," which slaughtered Poles during WW2, raising problems with Warsaw.
Zelensky seems to have run into trouble reading the room? https://t.co/iMJIo2h1rt
Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.
And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.
I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
Putin rejected the demand for a 'ceasefire', same as with Zelensky's past demands for a ceasefire. Why imagine a different result with the same demand?
Why are you avoiding the fact that a "just and lasting peace" must inevitably address the "root causes" of this totally unnecessary proxy war to "weaken Russia" (Lloyd Austin).
If you are not (willing to start) telling the truth about the root causes of the proxy war, then please understand you almost surely won't receive a response you like from Russian leadership.
Putin isn't refusing peace. He's refusing Zelensky's charade, which you are helping him create on a daily basis.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, as the impending fall of Kostyantynivka shows, RUS continues to advance, despite what Zelensky's Kvartal 95 media says to the contrary.
Zelensky's spin doctoring is losing support worldwide.
@andrii_sybiha Sir, your rhetoric seems misplaced & desperate.
President Putin wants a "just & lasting peace" that acknowledges the root causes of the war. What are the root causes?
So far, you & Zelensky aren't telling the truth about NATO overextension that provoked the war, are you?
@AbrahamWongHXR@IuliiaMendel This is where Iuliia reveals herself as a flip-flopper. She won't establish moral authority for returning to Ukraine eventually after Zelensky's regime is gone if she keeps framing Zelensky as a legitimate or free agent. He appears as a captured NATO puppet, doesn't he to you?
@IuliiaMendel No results "should be expected" because Zelensky won't do what's needed to get the meeting in the first place. He needs to do work & make concessions based on battlefield reality, not Kvartal 95 fake news.
It doesn't look like Putin now has any interest to meet Zelensky, right?
@BowTiedStack Ok, DMs better to start.
Evidence of meaningful presence sadly doesn't stand on RDN's side.
Enormous pretense a la Google. Heavy laden jargon.
No hurt, just recognition of his Albanian AI-like jargon's limit. You appear as in his linguistic trap, like a small few others.
