Österreich und Europa scheint es so gut zu gehen, dass Der Standard nun auf eines der wenigen österreichischen Unicorns einprügeln möchte. Dafür herhalten darf diesmal @eric_demuth , Gründer von Bitpanda und damit ausgerechnet einer der wenigen Unternehmer, die hierzulande eine echte Tech-Erfolgsgeschichte aufgebaut haben.
Whoever abandons their pet in Dubai or wherever and leaves the country: I have nothing but disgust for you.
If you can cowardly abandon an animal that depends entirely on you, you should never be allowed to have pets again.
I genuinely hope every single person who does this gets banned for life from ever entering the UAE again.
@julianhosp@bake_io what I would love to see is something similar to what Bitpanda is doing with their Spotlight Platform and giveaway tokens for BEST holders.
e.g. have DFI staked / locked on Bake --> new Metachain (or other) projects launch on Bake Spotlight --> Token giveaway.

Brave woman in UK speaks freely: "I have lived in London for 10 years and I have never felt as unsafe as I do now due to mass immigration. It is very difficult to talk about this because they accuse us of racism but this is reality.” This is what almost all European women who live in fear think. We have a duty to protect women who experience this unpleasant situation.

Wow, Hester Pierce, eine der SEC-Kommissare, übt in ihrem #Bitcoin ETF Genehmigungsstatement scharfe Kritik an Gensler und der SEC: 'Wir haben ein Jahrzehnt an Möglichkeiten verschwendet, um unsere Arbeit zu erledigen. Hätten wir den gleichen Standard wie bei anderen rohstoffbasierten ETPs angewendet, hätten wir diese Produkte schon vor Jahren genehmigen können. Doch wir weigerten uns, bis uns ein Gericht dazu zwang.'
Ein starker Kontrast zu Genslers Haltung.
Es ist ganz einfach. Ich glaube, dass Herr Djokovic gewinnt. Und ich hoffe Carlitos. #Alcaraz hat nach einem gut gespielten und dennoch verlorenen Punkt dieses einmalige Lächeln der Freude im Gesicht, das sein Gegner nie haben wird. #WimbledonFinal#wimbledon2023#Wimbledon
Announcing the PP Principle Political Party:
1️⃣💡: Very rarely I share what I would do as the leader of my country. Some very clear specifics. Which party in your country would I fit in, if at all, and based on what of my policies?
2️⃣💭: Just because I believe in only two genders, it doesn't make me ultra-right as labeled by virtue signallers of the left/green party. I am a traditional economic believer with sone progressive social ideas:
3️⃣🌍: In the Ukraine conflict, it's hard to distinguish between aggressor & defender.
4️⃣👨👩👧👦: Raising my children with traditional values & STEM focus doesn't make me a bigot. I am pro vaccinations that have been around when I stuffiest medicine graduating 2011.
5️⃣🏳️🌈: I'm okay with LBG, not necessarily with every other letter in the spectrum.
6️⃣🤰: I believe abortion in the 1st trimester is acceptable.
7️⃣🚫: I would ban gender transition for children.
8️⃣👫: I'm not a fan of DEI, preferring MOC - Merit, Opportunity, Culture fit. politics #opinions @BBCNews@CNNPolitics@nytimes
9️⃣🌐: I advocate for open borders, only based on the needs of the economy (low & high incomee opportunities). Strictly closed border for others. I would accept refugees if I have a clear integration into society based on language, religion and cultural norms.
🔟💰: Lowering income tax, reducing capital gains tax, and introducing a progressive spending tax are on my agenda. This incentivices earning more, reduces tax fraud and makes spending the key aspect. Automate and simplify the tax system
1️⃣1️⃣��: STEM focus in education, alternative routes for non-STEM fields, & comprehensive teacher reviews are a must. Incentivze and replace. Increase teachers salaries so the would never consider joining a tech company, but have high demands. Strict punishment for students who bisbehave. Different treatment of boys and girls there, being stricter to guys. Also, 6mo mandatory army for ALL high school graduates with basically no exceptions but clear different roles. Make sure, the passing to being a real adult, btings some toughness to people anf encourage deep longladting friendships and experiences - a guarantee for long lasting happiness. Everyone has to join the national army, but people have options for medical roles to help the needy. People need to be proud of our country, otherwise, leave. Keeping my passport outsidr of my country cost you a fixed 10k usd a yearr flat for the service we provide.
1️⃣2️⃣🛋️: I'd promote free/cheap housing, food, health, and education, just enough to cover key necessities. Not for mid anf upper level class.
#economy #education @BBCBusiness @Forbes @educationweek
1️⃣3️⃣🚀: Public services in industries should get paid at the 70th percentile compared to top industries, along with stricter performance reviews.
1️⃣4️⃣⛪️: Religious affiliations should be banned from public schools and should treated as any other meeting of groups a common topic. Nothing special for religions, also not tax incentives.
1️⃣5️⃣🎓: I'd reintroduce standardized tests for math, english, science, emotional quotient tests and intelligence tests at high school and for college with debates & public speaking on top.
1️⃣6️⃣🔬: Pharma & war companies must not be allowed to run ads. Full accountability on all dollar spend is a must. Ownership of basic weapons are allowed passing military duty AND passing a practical and theoretical tes
I would strengthen police.
Be very strict on when expected outcomes based on race, ethnicity and gender or age do not align w actual outcomes.
Sports, Bathrooms, and all gender facilities get changed to the following 2 categories: All: Open Category for anyone. And: women who have female organs typical need for growing ababy, especially the external organs of vulva and vagina. Kids are encouraged to go open if they are a boy and female when they are a young woman.

Lots of stuff that aligns with all kinds of ideas .thoughts?
With respect to Binance, I'm reading through the SEC complaint. It's over 130 pages, but seems like the next in a series of steps to implement chokepoint 2.0 in the United States. The end goal is a agenda based CBDC partnered with a handful of massive banks and end-to-end control over every aspect of your financial life.
A regulatory event is where you have a debate about compliance with a law or guidance. This event seems to be a polticial philosophical disagreement with the very existence of cryptocurrencies and what they represent. An unelected group of people have decided that concepts like self-sovereign identity, owning your wallet, and the freedom to control your economic agency should be removed from the masses and given to the "enlightened" few.
Honestly, what is happening isn't anything new. It's always the same fight between freedom and authoritarianism just with different players, technology, and words. It does seem like this event is a perfect opportunity for the entire industry to set aside it's fragmented nature and unite for a common sense set of rules and guidelines that can prevent the United States from slipping into a distopia that would make 1984 look like a vacation.
I'll have more to say later, but will close with we are going to be fine. Everything's alright and the future is bright for the industry.
