Every merchant is kinda "centralized," and this has many consequences. This post addresses nothing. Similar to saying, "To be flying, you must overcome gravity."
They have started with strong new team and eradication of corruption in Georgia. Milei probably starts from the wrong end. Beaurocrats will resist.
Normally I don't want to know that. And since CEXes lost their point I don't care anymore.

Cory comes to expose the fractional reserve guy but there is also Cory.
The provably fair lottery doesn't need any oracles. The Bitcoin is an oracle.

This is interesting. Because Mr. DarthCoin was so toxic about Standard Sats Fiat channels, which should allow people actually avoid fiat because of its most used feature -- relatively stable purchasing power.
