Not even sure how this Tweet has aged at this point

[Cohen F @str8aplangplaya]

Elon Musk is currently trying to buy Twitter because he believes that it does not currently foster true free speech with all of its moderation policies. Many support his endeavors, while there are still many skeptics that say his ownership would make twitter… (1/2)

[TIME @TIME]

The idea exposes his naiveté."

(2/2) a breeding ground for misinformation. In my opinion, I think it would be refreshing to see a social media platform without censorship. I believe that if people are not on board, they can migrate to other apps. Regardless, are there other implications of this decision?

What happens to my grade if I start tweeting about Better Call Saul

@MrHartMCHS Unfortunately it won’t let me, it doesn’t show up as an option.

@MrHartMCHS 🥲

One of the poorest countries on Earth is now legally accepting Bitcoin. As time goes on, crypto is making its way into more and more foreign countries with hopes of creating efficient worldwide transactions. Does this accomplishment foreshadow Bitcoin’s common use in our future?

[Carl Moon 🌙 @carlmoon]

The Central African Republic 🇨🇫 has adopted #Bitcoin as legal tender!

With many imbalances in wages among men to women, what can we realistically do to flatten the curve, if anything? #mchslang23

[Cohen F @str8aplangplaya]

For those under 30 in NY and DC, women tend to make more than men, which is the opposite of the often controversial status quo. In older ages, it is found that women usually are tasked with caring for children more often than men, so they cannot work as much and make less. (1/2)

In New York City and D.C., there’s a gender pay gap -- for young men. https://t.co/kY4yTZe4OJ

Since the hack was unsuccessful in the end, the hit on crypto’s use case isn’t as bad, but it still shows a weakness. However, this is newly evolving tech and it has countless benefits, so if we can stabilize everything, crypto’s use will be essential to our future. #mchslang23

[Cohen F @str8aplangplaya]

Hackers faked transactions of Ethereum totaling $620 million. This is a consequence of a truly decentralized currency, where investors are not fully insured. However, this money was retrieved after more transactions were tracked, showing we have the recourses to fix such issues.

Hackers steal $620M in Ethereum and dollars from Axie Infinity maker Sky Mavis’ Ronin network https://t.co/cT4BOehFgw

I do believe that EVs are the future, but I think that before claims regarding overall efficiency get thrown around there must be much more widespread implementation of chargers that work faster than they do now. If we can get there, buying an electric car will be a no-brainer.

[Cohen F @str8aplangplaya]

Tesla markets their cars as the better alternative to gas vehicles, but they take much more time to charge at stations that are far less common than gas stations, leading to long periods of waiting just to drive. Are Teslas really more “efficient” at this point? #mchslang23

[Ben Bergman @thebenbergman]

The very rare time as a Tesla owner I wish I could pay $6/gallon for gas and be on my way. We need more super chargers @elonmusk

[Cohen F @str8aplangplaya]

More evidence pointing towards the fact that NFTs and the Metaverse may have just been experiencing a moment of intense “hype” and that if they want to stick around, they need to find more impactful and relevant ways to create actual value. #mchslang23

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

JUST IN: Google searches for #NFT and #Metaverse have dropped 58% and 36% respectively from January.

Since the invasion of Ukraine, Russian stocks have lost 98% of their value, which are numbers that are essentially unheard of. As the conflict continues, more economic issues could act as more fuel to start the fire of total war #mchslang23 https://t.co/nzyjtNr8UT

[Cohen F @str8aplangplaya]

ETFs in Russia are currently experiencing large price drops. Is this a sign of correlation with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and if so, is this an indication to Russian officials that the invasion is a bad idea? #mchslang23

[Stocktwits @Stocktwits]

$RSX, Vaneck's Russian ETF, is down 30% since Friday.

Traders are keeping an eye on this one.

[Cohen F @str8aplangplaya]

In the midst of the Ukraine and Russia conflict, it seems like Russia clearly has the upper hand strength-wise. At this point, will the involvement of other countries be beneficial, or will this just raise tensions even further and possibly start a bigger war? #mchslang23

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Can Ukraine defend itself against Russia? “I think they can impose a heavy cost on Russian forces but…I’m afraid I’m doubtful that Ukrainians can hold out,” says @shashj, The Economist’s defence editor, on “The Economist Asks” https://t.co/vQ8gjKBAIr
