This guy exposed a loophole in the US economy.

After years of being too broke to buy a home...

He traded a single red paperclip for a $50,000 house.

All he did was discover this powerful truth about wealth:

The privacy discussion in IBP v. Purisima is straight-forward. Clients have a reasonable expectation of privacy that the record of their appointments with lawyers, doctors, accountants and other professionals will not end up in a government record, such as the BIR's.

On May 18th, 2023, while leading a Chinese climber toward the summit of Mount Everest, Gelje Sherpa discovered a stranded Malaysian climber on the verge of death.

To save the climber’s life, Gelje persuaded his Chinese client to end his summit and descend to the Everest Base Camp, allowing him to focus on saving the stranded Malaysian climber’s life.

He wrapped him in a sleeping mattress, gave him oxygen, put him on his back, and hiked him 6 hours down the mountain to safety.

SC: There is preterition if the only property bestowed in the will by testator to certain compulsory heirs is found to have not actually been owned by testator; however the will could still be enforced as to other legacies and devices that are not excessive.

Solana is broken; it fails to meet demand!

Before leaving crypto, try other chains!

Here are all L1s in the top 100 based on decentralization & scalability:🧵

BTC - Low capacity❌
BNB - Centralized❌
ETH - At capacity & centralized L2s❌
SOL - At capacity (parallelization)❌
XRP - Centralized❌
DOGE - Low capacity❌
TON - High capacity (sharding)✅
ADA - Low capacity❌
AVAX - Has capacity✅
BCH - High capacity (simple)✅
DOT - Has capacity✅
TRON - Has capacity✅
NEAR - High Capacity (sharding)✅
ICP - Has capacity✅
LTC - Low capacity❌
APT - High capacity (parallelization)✅
ETC - Low capacity❌
FIL - Has capacity✅
ATOM - Has capacity✅
XLM - Centralized❌
HBAR - Centralized❌
VET - Centralized❌
KAS - High capacity (simple DAG)✅
FTM - High capacity (DAG)✅
XMR - Has capacity✅
TIA - Low capacity❌
SUI - High capacity (parallelization)✅
ALGO - Centralized❌
SEI - High capacity (parallelization)✅
BSV - High capacity (simple)✅
EGLD - High capacity (sharding)✅
XEC - High capacity (simple)✅
QNT- Has capacity✅

IOTA - Centralized❌
KSC - Has capacity✅

A harsh truth distilled in a few words for each chain, as you either have the capacity or not

To explain my methodology:

Anything below 100 TPS is low capacity, anything above 1k TPS is high capacity. TPS is counted based on how many simple 1 to 1 TXs fit within a single block

Any blockchain with permissioned elements is considered "centralized," deal with it!

In brackets, I also highlight what scaling tech is being used, as the truth is that it is not possible to scale a blockchain without using some sort of exotic tech

The exception is "simple" chains; without Turing complete smart contracts, no exotic scaling tech is required at all

Sharding remains my favorite approach, as the upper limit can exceed 1M TPS!

Parallelization has a lower total capacity but is significantly faster

DAGs are theoretically infinitely scalable but come with other trade-offs, such as more difficulty in tracking a single global state

Ultimately, we want cryptocurrency to succeed & it can only succeed if it is scalable. The recent failures in SOL are disappointing, which makes it all the more important to drive this message home hard

Blockchains can scale to meet demand despite the recent growing pains!

WATCH‼️ President of Guyana slaps down arrogant BBC reporter.

“You cannot lecture us on climate change, I will lecture YOU!

…we have a forest the size of England and Scotland together that stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon.

…the world has destroyed 65% of its biodiversity — we have kept ours”.

Dry aging Wagyu beef involves storing the meat just above freezing temperatures for weeks. This process lets enzymes slowly break down the collagen within muscle fibers and enhance the meat's tenderness.

Wow. A newly-uploaded landmark SC decision where Court definitively interprets Constitution's clause on take-over of public utilities/biz affected with public interest in times of nat emergency. Arguably, David v Arroyo discussion on that point was obiter. https://t.co/MSjm2qQJ3n
