I use Yandex a lot now for not censoring me. Maybe I'll have to try this.

I may be left leaning, but I am also afraid of giving voters more power over the economy. Everything we do in housing, which is something people do have a high degree of control, is screwed up. People also want a huge amount of social programs but low taxes.

I Learned discrete math, got an A, didn't learn a damn thing.

Like a war on terrorism, that then fights domestic terrorists, that then protects Tesla; any new power will inevitably be abused. Snowden taught us that a long time ago.

Well that can't be true, why would anyone have ever made a dynamic typing system?

Well its still early days, Biden was very against Crypto, so point of sales systems couldnt provide it. Companies like Square are now working on it, so you will be able to use it; or any form of cash you want, or fractional shares and gold etf.

Maybe all currencies will just be forced to compete on inflation one day, and everyone will use the one with the lowest annual growth in new supply.

You want just a fatty wad of cash, and for tellers to sit there counting change or what?

Or maybe a CBDC, so they can inflate it even more, giving out your purchasing power like like its a political football?

Do you think credit cards are ideal? People happily pay a 4% fee to Visa to buy something at the store, yet you think a spot convert is going to be the death knell?

As well as the deflation of their currency, as the currency increases at around 10% a year, as you're praying that a CPI that does hedonic adjustments and substitutions maintains your standard of living; as we go from free range to factory farms, and housing appreciation is excluded entirety.

Maybe it wont be bitcoin, maybe it will be fractional shares, or spot convert gold, but I am definitely waiting for the day when I can hold 0$ in cash. I'm already near 0, but I'd like to replace it entirely.

It's objectively more private, if you take your own bias out of the equation. Monero doesn't get much use however, its not very popular but it is private.

I can barely even set a static IP on Windows Server these days. I wiped out a partition the other day as well since the UI is so slow, its like it's using a REST api to do partitioning.
