Europol added in a statement: "The Matrix protocol (matrix.org) is by no means connected to the Matrix secured communication service that was targeted."
Bitcoin mining will always be here. Being 18 half way through a free technical degree can't be replaced. I would take the job part time and remote while in school, telling them school is priority. If they can't handle that, they aren't a good employer and they aren't even good people to be around

It's because India has a historical relationship with the UK, so in a way we are familiar to them, and they have a caste system where the large numbered educated class has enough mobility to move to the US for economic reasons. They also know the US will allow their entire family once they get a creen card.

It's too true to be funny

Somehow they turned the word "culture" into evidence of racism. This means you're over the target
Do courts recognise spousal and parental rights if the husband and wife did not register their marriage with the state?
This douchebag is playing us like a fiddle. It's not a culture problem, it's a foreign saturated industry just like roofers. If they are so great at coding, why cant they do it from their home country? Shut down the public tranny schools and let parents decide who can provide the best education for their children. Fuck the CEOs that say they can't invest in the education of their own country and "need engineers now". Bull-fucking-shit. First hire the unemployed engineers, that will bridge the gap in time to get our own kids decent paying jobs.
First fix the DEI problem (and I mean make it illegal as fuck,) then we can talk about letting in more people that are smarter than us
The 80yr old hates young people and has no desire to reform the system that is writing her "social security" welfare check and breaking the backs of young families.
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree has to be the most obnoxious song ever made. Anything else written or sang after y2k has to go
Funny you replied now. I just got my SN account logged in again.
I think you misunderstood my question. The products you describe are 100% backed token assets. What I'm asking about is collateralized debt, as in debt that is collateralized with the very thing being purchased like a house or a car.
I agree that things like ecash/cashu/fedimints may draw parallels, but these are not 'free banking' per-se.
By definition, free-banking is an independent business engaging in fractional reserve lending. They place the collateral on their books as an asset the same as any bitcoin their ecash may represent. So long as nobody drains their accounts at once, they are solvent.
When demand for bitcoin begins to exceed their bitcoin reserves, they either need to take a loan from another bank, get their customers to make more bitcoin deposits (remember certificates of deposit?), or they need to force their customers to liquidate (sell) their property (car or house) and pay their loan immediately in actual bitcoin.
What thinks ye? Does this lead us back to where we are today with un-backed fiat?
Some people are willing to put an alexa or google assistant in their home, the same as some people will be willing to let their neuralink be connected to free centralized cloud services. Even if a human-brain interface becomes a necessity, there will be the equivalent of privacy-minded individuals that will be very careful who and what has access to that connection.
