The correct term is “googled on Bing”
Many countries just hide poverty and homelessness. For instance by sending them all to a district foreigners don’t go to or know about.
>bewilderingly naive I am guessing none of your friends or family have been a victim of aggression directed by the Pentagon?
You’re probably right about this issue. BTC is a bearer asset and is inherently difficult to store right- someone has to know the private key, and that someone could always irreversibly steal the funds (hopefully it’s…
There’s a very small number of mining pools that control Bitcoin. All the USA has to do to force a hard fork is order them to run alternative mining software.
> bond-buying and tax-paying are the exact same thing, real consumption forgone by current workers No. US Treasuries are one of the most liquid and easy to borrow against assets in the world. When institutions buy…
It was smaller than that, some kind of bridge toll, then got multiplied by late payment up to that number
I’ve received so many of these scam calls from fake authorities that I used to just hang up (now I don’t answer calls ever). One time I didn’t hang up because something felt weird. Turned out it was legit and I owed a…
Worth considering in light of Vitalik’s recent essay “Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again” which addresses how blockchains lost their original cypherpunk roots to financialization and the accompanying statist interventions.…
You can open a bank account, but the daily limits are low.
International cards usually work.
>welcome foreigners Kind of, it depends on your ethnicity. Koreans tend to treat white people pretty well. There’s a lot of anti Chinese sentiment, and some anti Japanese. If you have African ancestry they won’t…
Just keep in mind that the financial system is very locked down in South Korea. Foreigners have very limited access to Korean bank accounts while crypto exchange accounts are completely banned even for permanent…

The allied powers exercised total media control in Germany and Japan. This strategy is no longer possible due to social media.
The problem with 3 is global radicalization. Attempts to suppress populations can only work with the ability to convince the population to take your side; in the case of large scale bombing campaigns, the result is more…
What’s your bank? I’d like an account there. Every one I’ve checked so far freezes accounts and has a painful process for international wire transfers.
I don’t use Bitcoin because it’s too slow and expensive. Other people do find value in it. Carrying more than $10k in cash is dangerous, and likely to be seized during international travel. That’s a list of things…
Personally, the ability to always have access to my money, accept contracts internationally, and to be protected from a fickle financial system. For other people I’ve seen a wide variety of things they consider valuable…
Crypto is not zero sum since new value is created.
Surveillance of private spaces is a violation of the human right to privacy. As far as international warrants go, these are issued and serviced all the time.
Acceptance of warrantless searches. To enable greater power and wealth for the political classes.
I’m so disgusted by the people who support these violations of rights. Even if someone isn’t a us citizen, they are still a human and should be treated as such
Just because an object can possess a property does not mean it necessarily has the property. Regarding Bitcoin, it does not necessarily require a regulated market (proof: existence of Bisq). Same holds for private…
Crypto exchanges are trading digital assets, not equities. Public markets need state intervention because the application of force is required. The point regarding democracy is that you cannot call a 25 person tribe a…
