I Tried Cultured Meat and It Might Just Be The Future of Food

Fun CNET piece featuring @eatscifi! https://t.co/YINxkvOdQe

It’s really insane how fast obesity rates have grown in the US. Tripled in a single generation. The mainstream approach to diet and exercise is incredibly broken. https://t.co/ftwULtuBuk

“In many ways what we’re doing with cultivated beef is electrifying the cow.”

Great piece in Fast Company covering the publication of an LCA comparing the ⁦@eatscifi⁩ burger with conventional beef—reducing emissions by almost 90% https://t.co/d5JDv0UvgS

all the debate about leverage in crypto was just to distract us from real estate leverage

at least in crypto leverage wipes itself out periodically rather than building for decades and collapsing in a systemically massive way

Great episode

@Facebook community standards remain a joke.

A page that fraudulently impersonates another organisation and comments on their posts ASKING FOR MONEY and they won’t take it down.

@iChernov @StarlingBank yeah they will sell you some crypto, probably why they block the transfers to their competitors haha

[Benjamin March @benjaminmarch]

@StarlingBank bans crypto accounts for my “safety”. What is next? Donations to causes they disapprove of? Countries? My money. My decision. Demonstration of the fact money in the bank is NOT actually YOUR money. #BreakUpWithYourBank

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

U.K.'s @StarlingBank has temporarily blocked users from making payments to crypto exchanges.

“Transfers may also be declined if you’re trying to send money to an unsupported merchant such as a cryptocurrency exchange.”

:,(

[Benjamin March @benjaminmarch]

@CoinDesk @StarlingBank @Dan_Z_Palmer Of course I can get money into Binance other ways, but the principle of being able to send my money wherever I want has been violated. @StarlingBank support refused to allow the transfer. Are there any banks in the UK that won’t do this?

[Benjamin March @benjaminmarch]

@DaCryptoAthlete @CoinDesk @StarlingBank @Dan_Z_Palmer This happened to me. I called Starling and they confirmed blocking payments to known crypto merchants. They refused to let the payment go through

[Benjamin March @benjaminmarch]

@BenEast55307727 @StarlingBank Where are you considering moving too? Any banks that have stated on the record they won’t make similar moves? 🙏🏻

[Benjamin March @benjaminmarch]

Haha fair enough then! :P too jaded by my time on twitter up until now

[Benjamin March @benjaminmarch]

Almost certain this is a bot 🤖 though I fully agree with the sentiment. No right to censor what I do with my own money

[Ben Easton @BenEast55307727]

@StarlingBank Why have you disabled payments to Crypto exchanges? Time to #BreakUpWithYourBank and find a Crypto friendly bank

[Benjamin March @benjaminmarch]

UK banks that don’t restrict what you can do with your own money..?

@StarlingBank support confirmed they have unilaterally blocked payments to “crypto merchants” as a “business decision” to “protect customers from financial crime”.

@IainCyto @linuxtoday Windows users can get by without needing a terminal text editor. So can mac users. Why is this a necessary hurdle for linux users? Genuine question. I’m a long term linux user.
