go check again how states work.
The BRICS will choose a system that isn't in danger of having to have a fight with any US regulator, that can't get its documents subpoenad by any US agency, that can't be made to give access or hand over data, that can't have their offices raided by US stormtroopers and that aren't otherwise dependent on US structures. That is a 0% chance for ripple, then.
I will take a bet on that. But not in ripple.
don't give me that shit. If I only knew about the protocol...
no. It's a US company. The BRICS countries will not tie their currency to a US company.
Regardless of anything about the "network" or the "funcionality", if you think they would, you'd have to think the part of the world that is actively being fought by US imperialism and is creating that currency to literally get AWAY form the US are fools.
this is important in the context that the FED, just this week, annoucned that an unexpected rise in unemployment might be a reason to lower rates (when they didn't, this time).
Important to know, of course, that rates HAVE to be cut, or the debt service becomes unpayable.
So, if I were a cynic, a two-move:
Step one, say, without any official data at that point, that rates might be cut in spite of inflation if there is an unemployment reason;
Step two, three days later, a rise in unemployment;
Step three, "ah jeez, look"
APK files are great. There's also Aurora, to get apps without a google surveillance kraken. But yes, the direct apk is much better. There's also F-Droid, APKmirror, and itch.io.
I stumbled upon Ripley without knowing the novel, and I'm only 3 episodes in. All very slow so far, which of course is intentional to slooowly draw you into it. But yes, it's gorgeous, visually.
Shogun, I watched all through, and I appreciate the subtitles; it adds to the "stranger ina strange land" feel of it, and the casting is excellent. John Blackthorne looks perpetually roughed up and out of it, even in fine clothes.
my thought exactly. This is people trying to get into the halving block, as is evidenced by the fact that fees cool down again after. The few blocks after were the ones where people had hoped to get into the halving block, but were shifted to one of the next ones. Then, back to normal. unless Runes are a storm in a glass of water-phenomenon (here for an hour, gone the next), this makes way more sense as an explanation.
I love "nothing" days. Which, of course, istn't "nothing", not at all. Doing nothing, strictly speaking, is impossible at any rate. It's just not genuflecting at the cult of "being productive" (as a measure of a person), where "being productive" is defined as "doing work for others" or its preparation...
and like it does with a spatial black hole, it pulsates, rather than just expanding in linear fashion...
exactly. Russia has only ever been a threat when it was attacked first. they stood in Paris and Berlin only after they were attacked from there. The same is true about the Baltics, who, let's remember, gleefully joined with the Austrian water color artist in his (originally US-funded, let's not forget) attempt to march east.
and boomer germany is almost dead last. Romania and Bulgaria surprise me a little, but then again, not that much.
my friends still have LAN party weekends, though many times it's for an online game they're playing together, so it´s not a "pure LAN". Though for official competitions of competitive games, the LAN format is still in use - to thwart cheating.
absolutely. I've come to see bank balances as "maybe money", as in "maybe I'll have access to it when I need it"
i doubt it. If they offer paper btc, they can offer access, but the customers can't get the money out of the country that waz, which makes it much safer for a country in hyperinflation that already has a cash flow problem.
