The problem with cryptocurrency is that most people getting in on the action don’t really understand the concept of blockchains. They just think of it as imaginary dollars, to make a quick buck to turn into more dollars. Wrong way to think about it.
Decentralized Finance or DeFi is going to be pivotal moving forward as the world gets smaller and some governments (China) try to rig currency value and collapse markets through subsidies and price manipulation, as it attributes actual value onto real world proof of work.
But to make sure no one cheats and everyone gets what they’re due (smart contracts), we need blockchains—a shared ledger with no single point of failure or vulnerability. No invisible hand—no Federal Reserve to make the money printer go brrr and invalidate all your savings.
If you're not too familiar with Starlink, it's a network of many, many satellites that provide widespread coverage to anywhere on the planet, stationed in low Earth orbit. Very different from the stationary satellites that power extremely slow satellite internet.
Fiber's not gonna be obsolete anytime soon because it's still much easier and cheaper to lay down in urban areas. But this'll serve anyone living in rural areas and make telecommuting to work entirely possible even if you don't live in a city.
America needs to decouple its tech sector from China and establish its own supply chains with the T12 or China will basically take over it and dominate the world. Not an exaggeration.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to repeat anything Claudia Conway says about her mother in her attempts to MeToo her. There’s no evidence KellyAnne did what Claudia said she did and they’ve been nothing but abusive to one another for months. That entire family is dysfunctional.
This only escalated once KellyAnne lost control over her teenage daughter who would go on abusive rants about her mom, egged on by a New York Times reporter. The narrative was twisted to turn KellyAnne into the abuser when she’s clearly a mom struggling with a rebellious kid.
Yeah maybe she’s not a good parent. But I know a lot of parents who struggle with kids just like Claudia. It’s hard to manage any sort of control when there are external forces (namely a New York Times reporter) manipulating the situation. This is that times a thousand.
