@unbrainwash_now thanks for adding me to your list, bit rude to not ask before adding, but hey ho.
So hit me with you undeniable factual proof that Bitcoin is a scam.
@PharosWatch The USDT was redeemed with Tether for dollars and destroyed (burned). It didn’t move to another chain or to a rival stablecoin in any meaningful amount. Almost all of the drop was on Ethereum.
@imakechart@binance Interesting point, while we're discussing exchange security, could you explain how EIP-7702 worked in this attack and why Binance couldn't immediately stop the unauthorised transfers simply by suspending withdrawals?
It's obvious from research that the new @aeroxyz is doing fairly well, but I'm reluctant to migrate to a token I can't monitor.
And I can't keep hanging on to something that's sinking daily.
@PolitlcsUK Burnham loves having discussions, it's all he ever does, rather than actually do anything he prefers to discuss, imagine if we all done that, go to work and spend your whole day discussing what your going to do that day, then go home having done absolutely nothing
Angela Rayner’s new policy on ‘Empty Dwelling Management Orders’ is one of the most outrageous, authoritarian overreaches by a British government ever.
It gives the state the power to confiscate private property if left unoccupied for six months.
It is literally legalised theft and yet the left-wing media luvvies lapped up her party conference speech and let it slip by without so much as a whimper of protest. When people realise how pernicious Rayner’s ‘Empty Dwelling Management Orders’ are, the inevitable outcry will be too late.
First and foremost, it will be the state that decides if your house is ripe for confiscation. The local council will deploy ‘Empty Homes Officers’, for which there is about to be a recruitment drive, who will spy on your property. These state snoops will visit your property, check your mail, take photos of your house and obtain your water and energy usage. Armed with this information, like some second-rate private investigator, build a case on whether you’ve been living there.
Then when the state seizes your property and rents it out, who gets the payments? You guessed it, it goes directly to the local council. And they get to decide if they want to use the rent for repairs, building works and any health-and-safety upgrades to make the house habitable. They will then take out any money needed to cover the council's letting agent fees and property management costs. Only then, if there is anything left, will the actual owner get something.
The state will be able to confiscate your property for seven years.
Of course, the property owner will still be responsible for paying the mortgage if there is one - even if they are getting no income. The council, despite taking the rent, won’t cover the mortgage payments. But should this lead to a default, the bank can repossess the property, so the owner will potentially lose everything.
That isn’t the end of the scandal, because should the tenant, which the council found, stop paying rent, the council can’t evict them as they have full legal tenancy rights. Leaving the property owner with even fewer rights than the non-rent paying tenant.
People have complicated lives which means they may end up with an empty property - for example if an elderly parent dies, a messy divorce or a house you hoped you could one day do up.
Housing Secretary, Angela Rayner, too has a complicated housing arrangement. She divides her time across three accommodations - her Westminster one, her constituency home in Ashton-under-Lyne, and her new controversial Hove apartment (the one she didn’t pay full stamp duty on over which she had to resign).
No doubt the state won’t be looking to seize her private property. In this Socialist nightmare we are living through, some are always more equal than others.
@teaprotocol Looking at the current market structure, most observable TEA trading appears to occur on CEXs, while the Base ecosystem liquidity venue appears comparatively small. Is there a strategic reason for this, and do you expect more trading activity to migrate on-chain over time?
We're constantly told all altcoins underperform Bitcoin. My results suggest careful selection, liquidity analysis and risk management tell a different story.
Anyone with VELO on the following chains must bridge their tokens back to OP Mainnet, as bridges will soon be deprecated:
Celo, Fraxtal, Soneium, Unichain, Superseed, Metal, Mode, Lisk
Any XVELO not bridged back to OP Mainnet by October 15th will be at risk of being permanently unrecoverable.
