10 minutes is nothing in this context. There’s so many Bitcoin exchanges that it can’t effectively be stopped.

A beholder would certainly think those little eye stalks are cute.

Telling them that they should’ve addressed this sooner isn’t helpful to OP right now.

Such a Russian bot thing to say. By calling you not a person, I’m getting you to vote for harm reduction.

These people we’ve been screwing over for our own benefit won’t smile for us!

IIRC those weren’t widespread until after Bitcoin was invented.

But thats the easy part! It’s expensive to produce and cheap to verify.

Bitcoin was made inevitable by the Great Financial Crisis, not by hardware advancement. Its proof-of-work is based on hashcash from the 1990s. The computing power spent is arbitrary, a consequence of its creator underestimating how quickly Bitcoin would catch on.

Doesn’t that make it a bad test? It should be easy for humans and hard for machines.

Not as fucked as they’d be if we did a shutdown and then ended it in exchange for nothing whatsoever.

Now is not the time to criticize Democrats, it’s an election year! I expect you to do all campaigning when it matters least. /s

Oh that’s why it says this? Guess I’ll block this message too.

These managers must never buy airplane tickets with their own money. I don’t know which days I’m flying until I see the prices, and then I need to buy the tickets immediately to lock in those prices and seats.

Even if I were to ask permission (which I’m not), it would have to be for a general range, not specific days.

Yeah and they’re losing against tiny little Ukraine. Russia used to be a superpower!

I hope each Z/A man gets the life he voted for.

Then let’s show them the leftist cause. You have no power in society and don’t get paid enough because you’re not a union man. Band together with your bros and stick it to the upper management who never actually works.

After the Great Financial Crisis it became clear to me that weasel word “economists” either have no idea what they’re doing, or don’t actually serve the public. These days I’m leaning more towards the latter.

Not to say that the greats like Adam Smith were unqualified. But the legion of yes-men who have been drinking corporate kool-aid since Nixon don’t work for us. Their job is to create a convincing narrative as to why it’s OK to have a visibly unhealthy economy.

Don’t trust unnamed “economists” in the news. Look for specific people who have predicted what the economy actually does, and listen to them.

So what, who cares about downvotes on Lemmy? Even one more person finding out about some awesome tech is worth it!
