After several years of investigation, the SEC has thrown the kitchen sink at Binance and Coinbase with a litany of charges spanning all walks of US financial crime.
The two largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world are now under fire, not only for operating as unlicensed exchanges, broker-dealers, and clearing agencies, but for listing securities unregistered with the SEC as well.

Fold debit card has pretty much been neutered to a 1.1% card but it's pretty neat for anyone that needs to pay quarterly estimated taxes. Could previously get 2% but was effectively capped at $25. Now 1% back on a max $7000 payment (-$2.20 paytaxusa debit card fee) = $67 in sats stacked. Takes a bit of the sting out.
Will also be using to pay off loans once pause ends (free via phone payment).

Can bitcoin adoption happen faster than they can destroy the modern world?
reply
I think the quicker "they" destroy the modern world the quicker bitcoin adoption will increase.

Another day laughing at the shitcoiners, web 3 VCs and traders who are dumb enough to think Eth (clearly about to be completely centralized due to stake moving off US exchanges) is good value because of moving averages, ethbtc ratio and an artificial supply squeeze.

Which sub do you want the most?

This is also a good idea :

I agree, a ~programming sub seems like the most obvious target right now.

searched for a list of the top 50 subreddits and was surprised how unappealing most of those were...
reply
The first one was r/nsfw apparently. Followed by r/programming and r/politics. Originally subs were motivated by subjects dominating the front page. 1

Or just ~tech in general? I think most people aren't interested in programming but may be in tech related stuff (which includes programming)
reply
It's at least a shorter name lol

If you want some laughs right now check out the shitcoin subreddits after the SEC filing

Funny thing is that this is the most active some of them have been for the past year. The Cardano and Solana subs in particular have a couple thousand "users" online at any particular time but virtually no activity.

might be busy looking at price charts lol

Wouldn't this direction make more sense?
I think the houses of snakes spiral in this direction
reply
You have a keen eye! I realised this a few days into my streak but prefer it facing right.
BUT! In my defence, in rare cases snails can be "left handed" and live in sinistral shells which rotate the opposite way! These poor things have difficulty reproducing because they can only mate with fellow lefties.
Here in the UK there was a nationwide plea to find one particularly famous left-handed snail (Jeremy) a partner. See here:
Jeremy passed away on 11th October 2017, surrounded by their 56 loving children.

Ah, oh, haha, I wasn't thinking about the direction (if it's on the left or right side), just about the spiral (if it goes clockwise outwards or counter-clockwise).
But isn't your snail right handed? So you are actually correct and I am wrong in this regard?
For example, see this pictures:
a right-coiling snail, clockwise outwards
jeremy, the "lefty" snail (top), counter-clockwise outwards
Your snail has the coil on the right / "correct" side but the spiral goes counter-clockwise (beginning from the center) which isn't how snail shells spiral
My snail has the coil on the left / "wrong" side but the spiral also goes counter-clockwise which is how snail shells spiral like Jeremys.
For further illustration:
@ doesn't match the spiral direction
@ matches the spiral direction

I think you might be right. Top quality snailposting sir.
