I think people will break free much sooner when they are not being paid by the government to sit at home and get boosters. Gas prices in Europe are coming up on about 10 dollars per gallon, let’s see how long the virtue signaling lasts in these conditions.Originally Posted by Gilead

This is a perfect example of 'not your keys, not your money'. Nearly all crypto is bought through centralised exchanges using a wallet that is controlled by the exchange. All the large popular exchanges such as binance use KYC technology so they have your personal ID and linked bank account on record as well as your wallet ID.

I know that is what you did.
Of course Ukraine is run by globalist. They baited the cub into this, Putin being the idiot he is took the bait. Now his country will be set back for centuries. I will even go as far to say Russia will sell more of its land when this is over.

No real indepth knowledge of crypto mechanics or encryption, but I think that’s irrelevant as to whether the government can interdict bitcoin.
The article doesn’t really give much info apart from 2 paragraphs:
“However, these efforts haven’t escaped the government’s attention. The bank accounts of those involved in this initiative were quickly frozen, and the Bitcoin was seized and flagged by regulators”
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.

I think I understand what you mean.
Measures like this, as well as repeated and yet truth-less claims of THOUSANDS of unarmed minority people dying due to police misconduct every year, are part of narrative management and control.
Whites are murdered by certain demographics far more than the other way around. The only demographic which is even less prone to criminal violence than whites are Asians, but Asians are far less numerous in the U.S. than whites (obviously).
I read that Market Ticker entry yesterday. I seldom disagree with Denninger, and this is a time I definitely do not disagree.
Ukraine cannot win this war, and it won't. If Zelensky sincerely thought NATO would have sent vehicles and men to fight alongside him against the Russians, he was dead wrong. He and Ukraine were just a rod with which to prod the Russian bear. He's paying for it now.
On the Pfizer document release.....

I want everyone to look at this really, really closely. N.b. that Rip's name does not appear in the linked article, nor in the published study. He's not even mentioned as being part of the impetus to even create the registry, do the literature review, or publish the data, beyond the obvious utilization of the novice program and Starting Strength methods. This was Dr. Petrizzo's study and article, along with numerous other credentialed colleagues in the medical and physical therapy practical and teaching fields.
I have not met Dr. Petrizzo. That being said, I know of the fine reputation he holds with his students, the posters on this board he has worked with, and other SSCs who have interacted and trained with with him. The universal consensus is that he is one of the most stand-up professionals in the field. So consider that when a piece of shit like the O.P. tries to take out his little grudge on Rip.
Fuck him.

That's the flag of the Klingon Empire from Star Trek, you stupid asshole.

As analogies go, this is a stretch, even if you believe it. Your effort to portray Russia as some kind of victim and a standard bearer of anti-globalism is ridiculous. The true victims are the 44M Ukrainians and 144M Russians whose lives have been forever changed by a tyrant with a fragile ego.
What happened to you in 2007?

[question (unrelated). Do you still have the flag of white supremist group still hanging up in your gym that is clearly visible at 0:24 in this video?
And there ya have it. Ole Com(stain)unre is a true blue “progressive”. They are incapable of engaging in any kind of disagreement without making the usual bullshit racism charge. Wonder how long this turd scoured the videos to come up with that “bombshell”?

Kid from the UK tours Ukraine.
This does not prove the war is fake, like the kid seems to suggest, but it does illustrate how much of the war reporting you see on TV is purely theater.
One thing is for certain: this kid is 1000x more of a journalist than any of the faggots with press passes sleeping in 5 star Kiev hotels.
