Thanks. Just wanted to be sure of that.
I don't know what good a ten percent fine will do every user, but I guess at least it'll force Meta to re-engineer their surveillance stack.
If not installing the Meta apps, it is the same if you log in through a mobile browser, it tracks your browsing, right? So, either way, they track your browsing history.
Is the only way to sandbox these mobile platforms to never log-in?
I was thinking about why MS Windows now offers a virtualization environment but macOS still doesn't have that natively. I think Apple must have cornered a large percentage of potential Linux users, whereas MS Windows is not gaining many at all.
I think there will be huge upside growth in Linux users, but this is a trajectory that'll take time. I think we must be changing in terms of basic computer literacy. Just my feeling.
Institutions first then retail? I'm not sure I even understand the difference in the different tickers, but that's what I understand. MSTR was just a regular equity (later backed with a Bitcoin treasury.) The derivative? tickers were first offered at huge denomination buy ins that is not for retail.
Yeah, I might be a bit cavalier with my assumptions but, was really odd read.
Well, I was under the impression not just just pension funds, but any company wanting to buy Bitcoin because.. it's supadupa risky asset. Right?
I hope I didn't skim over too fast, but it didn't seem to surprise me that there was not even acknowledgment of the reality that I thought was that, corporate/accredited investors not only would have difficulty getting exposure, you simply cannot gain exposure to Bitcoin through non-FCA regulated markets. Pension funds, for example, are not simply able to open a Coinbase account. Isn't this where MSTR came in?
One more sustainable source of bitcoin-holding companies’ premium valuation is that they are a particularly easy way to gain bitcoin exposure. In the UK, for example, getting bitcoin exposure can be fiddly. Buying bitcoin itself leaves you with the problem of storing it.
Or this article by FT's Robert Armstrong is only talking about retail. I don't have a full-time job writing for the FT, so I'll assume I'm wrong about something and assume the FT is impartial and exceedingly astute.
WSJ needs to clarify on whether it's aware of the different use cases when using words like Crypto and Bitcoin.
Military: The UK is strong Bullish some defence stocks, regardless of the UK instinctively understanding that military conflict is not good for itself.
Europe says or does in climate regs should have no bearing on the world because nobody requested sci-fi theatre for their own policy.
We attribute climatic variation to overall anthropogenic co2 emmissions (based mostly on measurements taken since the 1970s, yet we barely question the overall feasibility of persistantly altering the earth's thermal and hydraulic transport system through large-scale geoengineering projects?
Northern Vietnam flooded this year, Cambodia and Laos seem to be increasingly susceptible to flooding over the years. In 2008 an earthquake collapsed 7000 school buldings and a large part of China was physically affected, offices buildings swayed in Bangkok.
Attempting to control a river that traverses the Tibetan plateau with gates and locks three times the depth of the Grand Canyon is ambitious. How accurate are current earthquake and climatic modelling prediction systems? There are a lot of people living in this part of the world.
Part of this is consumer preferences—paying with a card or a phone is less awkward and clumsy than having a bunch of change slamming around your pocket. But what we gain in convenience, we lose in privacy and freedom
I hear this a lot. Let me ask you, if you had the equivilant to 100 - 1000 USD in most currencies in bills, in your left pocket, and any smart phone in your right pocket, which one weighs more and takes up more space in your pocket?
I don't get it. No coins where I am.

I do not like to talk about income?
I talk about income everyday.
I just feel there are so many caveats when people talk about the allure of yield.
Where does the yield come from?
"There are real people buying Bitcoin?"
Who is not a real person?
I'm not a gold guy.
I'm not a Bitcoiner.
I am a real person
I don't like in Dubai, I don't live in the US, I don't live in the UK. So may assumptions here! Anyway, listening to what this real person is saying.
If you borrow from loan facilities to buy, are you a Bitcoiner?

Good question. Well, I suppose a litany of sources claiming it is/isn't financial advice. I think there's a lot of gut feeling when it comes to these kind of decisions.
Where do I get my advice?
- Stay humble, stack sats
- Buy Bitcoin
You are right, often I'm trapped in my thinking.
and funny that you say that. I deal with living in different countries and different laws quite a bit. It's an interesting thought experiment and a more interesting way to live (rather than complying with things that make no sense.) Was just trying to look at the question in a matter of fact way, but was probably being quite obtuse.
In terms of Bitcoin UTXOs, I see water as a similar thing. It would be like dividing a river in half and saying you can not steal or drink water from one half but you can from the other. Essentially, there is no boundary. Just an arbitrary construct that aims to govern the ungovernable properties of elements.
