It's been real, Twitter. To everyone who followed and engaged with me, I wish you all the very best. As I did with my MySpace account, I'll keep up this account for posterity.
Cheers, Evariste 🙏🏿🤛🏿🇺🇸🇨🇩
@Donny_B26 @RadioFreeTom I saw a thread today where a finance guy laid out the deal- particularly the debt part. Too complicated to address here but he said Musk will need abt 7-8m ppl paying $8 and around $3B in fees from a "payments" service to free it from advertisers & pay the debt. Tall order IMO.
A person I have known for more than ten years, who I consider trustworthy, is convinced that Ethereum will shortly experience a total collapse. I don’t know anything concrete, but if I were exposed, I would be concerned.
@inverseflorida@Noahpinion If the criteria here is "who governs the most efficiently" then sure, he's not the worst. If the criteria are "who is responsible for the most dead ppl and is a vessel of neocolonialism" he is absolutely the worst. Guess it depends on your perspective.
@JavierBolti@peterhaymond@saylor@BillAckman You are both right. Bitcoin solves debasement problem, but stables solve the medium of exchange problem Bitcoin's volatility creates.
The violent news from Colorado Springs is sickening and heartbreaking - the more so because there is a pattern.
We can not, will not, allow hate to win. We must end this in our time. No rest until all of us, including all of us in the LGBTQ+ community, can be, and feel, safe.
@fo11owthe1ight@_jeff_jaramillo@Palle_Hoffstein Just an astonishingly ignorant and condescending comment from Jeff. And I'm an American. Honestly folks, it really is OK to think before you post.
@bjornsing@wesblog@Palle_Hoffstein As a former IBM exec I can attest to this. We consistenly paid staff in Europe less which is one reason IBM has continued to expand there since WW2. If you have the same quality of talent but can pay them less, every company on Earth will take that deal.
@_jeff_jaramillo@Palle_Hoffstein Nearly all concepts of political freedom emerged in Europe, Jeff. Mostly after centuries of struggle against the aristocracy. They even had whole ass revolutions and civil wars over it. Just a very basic FYI.
@levinepmc She's partially correct. They give up 50% of their ForEx reserves- not exports- to the FT. FT holds, pays interest on it, and prints the CFA. CFA is pegged to the Euro. Pro here is currency stability. Con here is the nations that use the CFA do not have monetary sovereignty.
@DieudonneBila In my last hours on Twitter, there appears to be a conspiracy theory growing that the EAC force is actually an occupying force that will, eventually, balkanize Congo.
Si @fatshi13 cède la gestion des espaces jadis occupés par le M23, qui va bientôt se retirer,à cette force l'EAC alors il consacrera la balkanisation de la RDC. La RDC doit exercer sa pleine souveraineté dont l'entièreté de son territoire.Ce n'est pas négociable. @StateHouseKenya
@BayaCiamala @phil_tonton@EngundaAlain@fatshi13@StateHouseKenya Leur présence a été autorisée par Kinshasa. Connaissez-vous une occupation dans l'histoire où l'occupant obtient l'autorisation de l'autorité centrale sans la vaincre au préalable, mon frère Phil?
Heartbroken about the growing hate against trans people and anti-LGBTQ violence. This mass shooting in Colorado is horrific and devastating.
And I am furious that members of Congress like Boebert have the fucking audacity to say anything when they spread this hate constantly.
@QuinnC2022@damoneus@nemga7@amasad It's an excellent analogy but your political bias makes it hard for you accept that a reasonable person would use it, so you take the easier (and cowardly) path of insulting people who do. Why not try debating like an adult, Quinn?
@hodgetwins Not a leftist and I'm incredibly pissed off. Why do you ppl always assume every conservative likes 45 or every leftist hates him? That has literally never been true since he ran nor during his Presidency. Get out of your bubble, bro.
@DrShirandi Ofcourse. Tutsis alot like Russians. Are not Russians surviving w/o Europe? Thing will get bad if they can't sell gold, coltan, etc. But they will figure it out. I hate PK but Tutsis are known for being crafty.
