    The that fact that emergency powers are still in place means it's not over.
    Hence, the only reason why there is less panic is because the heat has been lowered from the pressure cooker. Let's see how people respond when the heat is turned up again for the next medical crisis.

    Right, wal. The only good sources are those with names like CNN/ABC/ABC/CBS/BBC/NBC -- trustworthy names you've heard of. And the only good independent sources are people with fine Christian names like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

    Some of those so called fine Christian people are promoting some of the silliest covid nonsense and mostly from the states. As for CNN etc I do not listen to them. You have been for some time a good source of information particularity from this thread, but Subby's link is a dog. Sorry.

    The rate at which western countries are shutting down coal fire generators and trying run the grid with "green" wind and sun I don't think that the reliability of the distribution network will be available all the time to run our domestic energy requirements let alone AI. If you have ever lived though a situation where the grid has failed you can't even make an electronic transaction. If you want reliable base load generation you need steam turbines run by oil, coal or nuclear and they are not "green" friendly. The world has become dependent on a reliable source of electricity and wind and solar cannot be turned on at demand. The green folk are are going to send us back into the stone age.

    Latest blog post by Robert Malone which makes me surprised substack hasn’t cracked down on counter narrative posts yet.
    Definitely interesting watching a bunch of boomers getting red pilled, both on this forum and in general.

    Yeah and “wal” is short for “wally” which is Australian slang for a fucking galah.
    So by your own logic I give your post a credibility rating of -0. Mate.

    The illusion that Russia and the US are at odds with each other over Ukraine as well as the war being a distraction from covid rather than simply part of the same plan really needs to be broken.

    The article doesn’t really give much info apart from 2 paragraphs:

    Bank accounts are the weak point, and obvious target to crack down on bitcoin, it doesn’t matter what you can/can’t do with bitcoin if you banks aren’t allowed to purchase it. There’s no way to exchange bitcoin to currency. It’s uses then become hyper niche.

    “Bitcoin’s failure is partially due to society's deep dependence on centralized exchanges and banks, which will, realistically, not change anytime soon. Bitcoin has existed for over 13 years and has failed on every promise, including being an inflation hedge and store of value.”
    This is true, the blockchain is the most centralised financial vehicle probably ever created, eventually it will become so large that only large corporations will be able to process it, moving us back to square one. The article doesn’t say what the promises it has failed on are, but I’d say as a story of value and hedge against inflation it has certainly risen dramatically, which satisfy both of those goals.

    One of the main structural problems that I’ve heard come up from bitcoin round tables is that bitcoin has 2 potential uses. 1) As a store of value akin to gold bars. 2) As an alternate non fiat currency, which requires it to be easily transferrable. Due to the nature of bitcoin easy transactions are not possible due to the requirement to update and very the block chain on every purchase, each transaction requires a fee to be paid to the miner who does the actual checking/updating of the blockchain. Imagine buying a $2 ice cream at a store and having to wait for minutes for the transaction to go through, or pay $10 to have it go through instantly. It just doesn’t work as a currency, and it’s increasing price, while satisfying criteria #2, counteracts use #2.
    The discussion was that for bitcoin to reach wider adoption people actually had to use it, not speculate on it. But using it increased the value and thus the benefits of speculation and holding. I don’t see a long term future for bitcoin in its current state, but I’m still not rushing to dump what I have.
    This scalability problem is starting to get solved with Lightning Network. Get a lighting wallet and I will send you any amount of money in seconds, from cents to millions, paying a much much smaller fee than the on-chain transactions. And it will be YOUR money. And no intermediary will intercept it and control it.
    I love how people immediately label Bitcoin, a new disruptive technology, as useless, after only 13 years of its invention.
    As if the Internet didn't take decades to become what it is today.

    -------------------------------------------

    My roadtrip around the balkans is almost over.
    This is a summary of the covid situation:

    ALBANIA, Tirana.
    No covid restrictions, they don't even know what a vax pass is and most people don't even talk about covid anymore. They had an 11pm curfew but it was lifted. Probably the cheapest place in Europe. Lovely capital, very lively, and safe.
    Roads outside the capital are still a problem.
    Lots of investment opportunities especially on the coast, for land and housing.
    Also, lots of americans there.
    Albanians speak english, Italian and sometimes even german/french very well, in the capital.

    MACEDONIA, Skopje.
    Mild enforcement of mask wearing in one mall. That's it. Also very cheap, didn't like the capital that much.
    Roads outside the capital are mostly under construction.

    KOSOVO, Pristina
    Kosovo is basically 90% albanians, so pretty much the same thing. They use the Euro, even if not in the EU. They seem to love the US a lot.

    BULGARIA, Sofia
    EU country, so of course more enforcement. Malls, supermarkets, museums and some shops enforce the mask. I actually had to tell a bulgarian Karen to go fuck herself. Only one burger place asked me for a vax pass.
    Other than that, no restrictions.
    Not as cheap as Albania, or Macedonia. More homeless people or beggers on the street. Weird eating schedule, at least for me (food joints close at 10/11pm, even on a saturday night, and bars are the only ones open).
    Very frustrating to find someone who speaks english well. Not very good workers. They looked lazy or annoyed.
    Lots of italian students.


    I hope this is helpful for someone.

    I am honestly scared of going back to Italy after 1 month of almost no covid bullshit.

    DeSantis/Gabbard 2024.

    If Mitt Romney had a single molecule of honor in his entire being, he would resign, and then seppuku and bathe in his own guts.

    I really want to trust Tulsi, since she's beens saying all the right things. But what do you make of this affiliation:

    Tulsi Gabbard | World Economic Forum

    I've seen some that said she was added there years ago and hasn't really participated at all. I would hope that's true.
