You can bypass exchanges by making a peer to peer transaction with a node.
My prediction is that al the stable coins, the exchanges and the ETFs - all those will get wiped out soon.
That's why I run a node. 😀
Bitcoin and Monero are the only two that I would trust. Everything else can be manipulated.
I noticed during recent Congressional hearings, crypto executives were bending the knee. Occasional Cortex was giving them a bad time about stable coins not having enough dollars to cover each and every Tether. NOT ONE executive made the point that banks function on fractional lending. (Plus the original purpose of stable coins was to hold value not cash liquidation.) If "big crypto" isn't already corrupt, it's on its way.
You're right. I'm very cerebellum.
You sound like someone who doesn't run their own node.
What disturbs me the most are people who I thought loved freedom, but are pro mandate.
A friend from high school who is pro life, pro gun and a church goer is married to a pediatrician. Both she and her husband are morbidly obese but seem to ignore how it affects their immune system. They couldn't have kids so they adopted special needs kids. One has swiss cheese for lungs and has almost died a couple times. This friend is extremely preachy about pro vaxx and masks. You're a selfish murderer if you don't agree with her. Ironically, her husband came down with COVID two weeks ago.
FreeRepublic.com has been a consistently conservative forum for 2 decades. But since the pandemic, it has been overrun with arguments between pro vaxx members and those who truly believe in freedom.
I once worked for a small rural bank. It's scary how vulnerable the system is. Large banks like WF and BofA process their own data. However, most regional banks use a data processing company called FiServ. They process about 40% of all retail transactions, credit updates, etc. Hit FiServ with a denial of service attack at around 6am on consecutive days and/or penetrate their servers with viruses, and you could cause a MAJOR panic in retail banking.
Yeah, so many little details seem odd. As another anon pointed out, maybe there are someone women who would go there alone. Maybe there is some weird mom who talks about her daughter's death immediately on FB. But add up all the details, and the whole incident seems VERY fishy.
Plenty? No. A small minority? Sure. There's always someone on the edge of the fringe. If she had a history of mental problems and bad decisions, it would make more sense. But probably 95% of the women there were with someone. Women don't even go to the bathroom alone. People don't go to concerts alone. There wasn't one passionate family member or friend she felt like asking to go with her? And it seems suspect considering the other details, like being "buried" at sea. She wasn't in the navy. Did she have a passion about the ocean? It doesn't add up.
Maybe she wasn't close to any of her family but her husband was the only person who knew she was going. How many men would let their wife go alone to a protest rally? As a woman, I would never take such a risk. When I was single in college, I never went to a bar alone. Doesn't seem normal.
Here's a video that points out a lot of oddities: https://odysee.com/@MaurerMeister00:e/Ashlii-Babbit-Shooting:1
Here's the video from the JaydenX, the very suspicious character who supposedly has been involved in ANTIFA. His camera phone just happened to be pointed right at the window when the gun appears. Phone is focused on the gun for at least 7 seconds, but he doesn't yell 'gun'? https://www.bitchute.com/video/cMyZPbp3NZ7r/
Ashli Babbit didn't tell her family she was going to D.C. Wasn't accompanied by her husband and was supposedly buried at sea. As a female, I would have never been there alone and I would have let at least one family member know I was going. It's all very odd.
Yes, in late summer the candy aisle was always bare. Now it's full. Since late fall, the selection of shoes is almost non existent.
Dead voters are their best supporters.
There's a kids show called Kitty is Not a Cat (at least the title is honest). It's about a little girl who identifies as a cat and wears a costume while living among cats. Throughout the episode, the cats speak Spanish (or English in the original from Australia) but the girl only says meow. Occasionally an episode points out how the two species are not the same. But the whole premise of the show makes me cringe.
Most of the doctors I know have an inflated ego. It's hard to feel sorry for professional pill pushers with a "better than you" attitude.
Wow, you have WAY more patience for a co-worker than I would have.
Was your grandmother under any type of stress when she developed it? My aunt is married to a chiropractor and has taken much better care of herself than her sisters. She has also lost weight without trying lately. She is in her 70s so health problems shouldn't come as a surprise (although her grandfather worked in a sawmill until his early 80s, smoked and ate bacon and eggs daily). Her generation is costing the Federal government a lot of money. I can't help but wonder if these shots are used to kill off the Boomers at a faster rate.
I'm 50 y/o and this is the first person I've known to ever have shingles.
My vaxed aunt developed shingles too right after her booster.
Speculative is probably the only comparison. One is a perishable commodity that can be reproduced in mass. The other is a decentralized limited quantity blockchain currency. I've had numerous people on that site tell me "it's just zeros and ones in a database" when that is the description of their own bank account. Time to purchase a clue, Gertrude!
FreeRepublic.com An old school conservative forum that's been around since Clinton was in office.
I use to hang out on FR until I lost all patience with the vaxtards and doofuses who compare Bitcoin to tulips. It was once the best news aggregate on the web, beating the fastest news wire service by 9 minutes when the space shuttle Columbia exploded.
I was thinking that too. EBS happened last year and nothing happened. There was also a massive amount of military air traffic in West Virginia in 2020. In mid September of 2020, an Osprey circled our tiny hometown while a completely black helicopter with no markings (like the ones with eggbeater antenna spotted in LA) hovered low over homes in town. It was so unusual and alarming, people stood outside looking at the sky. We were definitely expecting something big to happen and, obviously, nothing did.
What's bizarre is during the past several months we have had ZERO military aircraft in our area, near Charleston, WV. In 2020, it was above normal. During 2021 it has been far below normal.
Condolences to you and your family.
