I don't advocate for fair #Crypto regulations because I think it will make one bit of difference to the inevitable #Blockchain economy. I do it because I don't want to see my country left behind. 🇺🇸

Pentacostals don’t believe in infant baptism or the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Those are not nit-picky subjects, they have serious theological weight.

Their understanding of the 5 Solas, which you seem to overemphasize, are not the same. Lutherans believe that Sola Scriptura means that traditions and doctrine must always be fully based on the text of the Scriptures, but they still must emerge from properly constituted deliberations within the church structure. Huge emphasis is placed on gospel-based education and proper structure of the synods, which is why Lutherans broke from Rome for inappropriately declaring Papal supremacy.

Calvinists and Arminisns are much more likely to believe that the average layman can arrive at proper doctrine just by reading the good book.

A step-by-step summary of the instructions @secondfiapp is giving to Cardano users affected by the recent hack, so they can recover assets and remain eligible for the promised relief for anything stolen.

@ColinEHunter @no_chutes @MarioNawfal That’s an oversimplification. This is actually a display of why the term Protestant is historical and not theological. As a Confessional Lutheran my beliefs are closer to Rome than they are to the Pentecostal denominations. We just happen to share a similar schismatic root.

Middle-aged judges aren’t the only ones who are looking for education on prediction markets!

That’s why in addition to our litigation/legislative work, @DigitalChamber’s prediction market working group started our Prediction Market Monday educational series.

We want to be a resource for anyone trying to gain a baseline understanding of what prediction markets are, how they operate, how they are regulated, and clear up any common misconceptions as well as address concerns.

We welcome the announcement of OpenUSD and our partner @brale_xyz as a launch partner.

We are exploring other integration options also and will share more in due course.

Camping with the Cub Scouts today. Had the pleasure of introducing them to the most accurate meteorological instrument known to man… the Weather Rock!

I am still here, still building. It will soon be 8 years. I apologize to those I've been a dick to sometimes. I am just being American and we are the best.

If you're also still around and building, let me know. It's good to know who we can rely on. There's still work to do.

@naiivememe This is the kind of crap I expect from @astroboysoup …

[Adam Rusch @AdamRusch]

@HolgerCardano24 @Da_one_Duck @cardano_crimson @BEACNpool @phil_uplc @TheRefreshCNFT I'd never purposefully accuse you of talking BS. I do have great fear that people will inadvertently expose themselves to dangers when moving cautiously might be better.

I apologize for any words said on my part that came out too harsh these past couple days.

[Adam Rusch @AdamRusch]

I have never had beef with you Holger, you were one of the first people that I met when I joined Cardano Twitter and I enjoyed your spaces.

I still think that the risk to "normies" of messing up the process of trying to move at-risk funds is very great. Better to not create panic by telling everyone to rush to a solution when they are likely safer to wait a few days for secure solutions.

Pi gave a great breakdown where he talked through these and laid out the facts that there are trade-offs.

So again, I'm not part of the drama between Iagon and Phil. I'm not a shill for Emurgo. I'm not claiming to be able to save anyone with a compromised wallet by telling them to follow a solution they may or may not understand.

I'm just trying to say that if we all calm down and take some time to work through this, we can probably come up with an acceptable solution together.

For the rest of my thoughts on this matter, I'll just refer to official statements from entities that I work with.

No better time to buy a @KeystoneWallet than the present.

Will make you completely immune to most wallet vulnerabilities.

Also their unwavering support for Cardano deserves massive respect IMHO.
