I continue to believe #Ethereum has better value than #Bitcoin. I see a day when the gap in the price between the two drops to levels nobody thought possible.
$ETC $BTC
Ethereum holders outnumber Bitcoin holders by 3.2x.
The number of non-empty @Ethereum wallets stands at more than 189M currently, compared to just 60M for $BTC - this is despite the dramatically higher valuation of Bitcoin and reflects the utility offerings offered by $ETH.
At the same time, @Ripple $XRP boasts a figure of some 7.8M, and @Tether $USDT comes in third with around 14M non-empty walltes.

Looking at #BitCoin bitcoin:native being below $70,000 today. I think people are waking up to the limited utility value of bitcoin:native vs the other #crypto#coins.
I think it is long past the time when #Ethereum $ETC should trade independently of bitcoin:native The focus should be on long term utility value.
Finally got a call from @Vonage tech support. They walked me through the process and provided excellent service. Thanks.
PS. Shouldn't be so hard to get the help needed.
Shocked ! I have been attempting to order an additional #phone line from @Vonage for months. Impossible to get a #live representative to talk to.
How does a company with this poor of #customer#service stay in business ?
βA free country cannot survive if decent people fear the system and criminals fear nothing.β
π₯π₯π―ππ―π₯π₯
Thomas Sowell sadly said it all with this one.
βThere is no greater indictment of judges than the fact that honest people are afraid to go into court, while criminals swagger out its revolving doors.β
That hits hard because every normal, law-abiding American knows exactly what he meant.
Decent people still have a healthy respect for police, courts, judges, and the law. They worry about being summoned to court. They worry about making one mistake. They worry about legal bills, paperwork, accusations, and the crushing power of the system.
Meanwhile, the career criminal treats the whole thing like a business expense.
Arrested again? No big deal.
Back in court? Just another Tuesday.
Released again? See you next week.
That is not justice. That is surrender.
American cities did not fall apart by accident. They fell apart because leaders decided that enforcing the law was somehow mean, outdated, or unfair. They stopped punishing criminals, stopped protecting victims, and started treating disorder like a social experiment.
The result is exactly what you see in too many cities today. Stores locked behind glass. Families afraid to walk downtown. Police officers demoralized. Criminals emboldened. Honest citizens punished for following the rules while lawbreakers laugh their way through the revolving door.
We need a return to old-fashioned law and order.
That means enforcing the criminal code, even when the violation seems minor. The broken windows theory worked because it understood a basic truth about human nature. When small crimes are ignored, bigger crimes follow. When disorder is tolerated, civilization retreats.
But law enforcement is only part of the answer.
We also have to teach children right from wrong again. Respect for law, respect for property, respect for parents, respect for neighbors, and respect for consequences.
A free country cannot survive if decent people fear the system and criminals fear nothing.
Thomas Sowell saw the problem clearly.
The question is whether America still has the courage to fix it.

This is extremely telling. Does anyone seriously think the high tax states are well run ? That life is good in these high tax states ?
When the reports of Medicaid fraud and other major problems occur, where are they happening? Itβs the high tax states.
These high tax states are run by incompetent individuals who lack the ability to understand human nature, basic economics, lack the morals required to avoid mass corruption, and produce quality of life. The only thing they are good at is adding to their own personal power, encouraging corruption and producing misery for their citizens.

We will soon reach the Point of No Return. #PONR. This is when the interest on the Federal debt is greater than all the tax revenue.
This will set off permanent hyperinflation and a massive devaluation of the US DOLLAR.
This devaluation of the US Dollar will most likely lead to a breakdown in world trade; which most likely will kick off a series of regional wars that may create another world war.
Serious action needs to be taken before this happens.
Raising taxes will not solve the problem.
The only solution is to dramatically reduce Federal spending and start paying down the outstanding debt.
