I have psoriatic arthritis and get a lot of joint pain and other pains due to inflammation. I do not smoke cigarettes but after doing my research on nicotine and the anti-inflammation affects it has on you I started a 7mg nicotine patch 2 weeks ago and very quickly noticed a difference. I am also scheduled for sinus surgery due to major sinus issues but I can actually breathe through my nose for the first time in years. There is no doubt in my mind nicotine has so many other benefits.
@Allegroloop@thepaulalex_ @TheClearedMind My company is also the only company I know of that offers a cash back rebate like a credit card rebate so the more you process the more you make, not pay like others.
@Allegroloop@thepaulalex_ @TheClearedMind The 1% is not paid by the biz owner either it’s paid by the processor that processes the cards the merchant pays nothing.
You don’t understand how it works and it’s called cash discount or surcharging. Depends on the state but totally legal but what you suggested is actually against visa and M/C rules and regulations. It has to be done a certain way and you also don’t need to buy credit card machines you can get them free at my company and all smart terminals.
More and more businesses are switching over daily.
⚡️NEW: CRYPTO REPORT DROPS — Here is the summary:
The Trump administration just released its long-awaited crypto report and I have summarized it for you to save time.
The White House released a 168-page crypto policy report on July 30, 2025, following a 180-day review under Executive Order 14178. It outlines a regulatory framework for digital assets but omits details on a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
**Key Points:**
- **Regulatory Clarity**: Proposes clear rules for digital asset trading, custody, and taxation, with CFTC overseeing non-security crypto spot markets.
- **Stablecoin Support**: Endorses stablecoin regulations, including licensing, Fed payment access, and full-reserve backing, building on the GENIUS Act.
- **DeFi and Innovation**: Recommends safe harbors and regulatory sandboxes to foster DeFi and innovative financial products without delays.
- **SEC and CFTC Coordination**: Urges immediate cooperation to resolve jurisdictional disputes and enable federal-level crypto trading.
- **Anti-CBDC Stance**: Reinforces opposition to a U.S. central bank digital currency, favoring market-driven stable-coins.
- **National Security**: Addresses illicit finance and sanctions evasion, enhancing consumer protections and market oversight.
- **No Bitcoin Reserve Details**: Despite expectations, the report lacks specifics on a national Bitcoin reserve or government crypto stockpile plans.
The report aims to balance innovation with stability, positioning the U.S. as a leader in blockchain and crypto policy.
