@balajis "The Russian military has de facto defeated NATO in Ukraine"? You must be very poorly informed to write this nonsense.
Russia has already technically lost the war against Ukraine:
- Most of its soviet equipment has been destroyed.
- None of its original goal have been achieved.
@TuurDemeester Great article. I think that "rebel money" should be replaced by "free money". In Freudian psychology rebel means those who complain but don't really improve the system at the end. Bitcoin is more like a new system aiming to replace the corrupt, legacy one that we inherited...
@TuurDemeester I believe that medical studies confirm that you need to do some regular manual/physical tasks to stay mentally healthy and even avoid dementia at an older age. Also it keeps you connected to reality, something that too many intellectuals seem to have forgotten...
@RNR_0 Lightning may become useful in the future but bitcoin doesn’t need it to succeed.
What matters is that bitcoin remains at the center of the blockchain industry (used as collateral in defi for example).
@IamCryptoWolf A great thing about Europe is that each country is free to decide how to tackle their issues. It's a good laboratory. At the end the countries can draw some conclusions and adapt their policies accordingly.
