I think I'll pass.

There were several such "decentralized" projects (Augur, etc.), but I don't know of anyone who uses them. I kind of stopped following the "permissionless" space after several projects turned out to be too scammy for my liking.
> It probably also would do away with the KYC, so everybody could participate. Nobody would have to give away their private data.
That's exactly why they're not allowed. If you can't easily get fiat in and out of such contracts, they can hardly matter.
Kalshi: not a novel idea, but it's good to see another implementation.
Several solid blockchain projects (also permissioned/KYC, but based on blockchain, with distributed oracles) are launching similar markets in 2023. I think they will have an advantage because all participating financial institutions will be able to create own markets without reinventing the wheel or building their own in terms of underlying infrastructure (APIs, smart contracts, etc.). Some already have simple apps (decentralized price feeds, etc.) in beta now - they just need to add the ability to bet on outcomes. I don't want to "advertise" their names here but you can look them up on the Internet.
The UK's situation is no different from continental redistributionist disasters - big government, too much spending.
The only reason why the US hasn't fallen to that level is that the dollar is a major reserve currency.
Getting training without any up front payment is great for least privileged and those without education.
I didn't find it necessary to blog about it.
Were they merely clueless, or is this article telling the readers sanctions aren't working that great and we should support peace negotiations?
Especially with yields on debt of one of leading proxy warriors - the UK - entering a dangerous zone...
Couple of woke, social sciencies grads deciding on the truthiness of Dr. McCullough's tweets. Nothing to see here, move along.
He'll be back once Elon overhauls that miserable organization.
Which may be why they don't single out Monero in order to not reveal its about taxation and control as much as it is about climatism.

Had to be done in the case anyone thought to ask for negotiations or plan to muddle through the winter with heater set to 19C.
They said it was to catch tax-cheating billionaires. Oops. "Sorry, we lied".
It's time for average Americans to benefit from personalized IRS service! "Claw back better."
They should recruit some climate scientists - those guys know everything and can predict what will happen in the distant future.
There is no better way to train sheeple - and in fact get their support - digital IDs, "personalized carbon allowance" and other components of EU's Big Leap Forward.
15 years ago Maoist policies and Soviet-style rationing in the EU seemed completely impossible. Now it's becoming a matter of necessity.
WEF has some nice ideas in store for you guys!
I'll get an Android phone if I want choices in situations where I don't need them.
Google and Azure can't (yet) because AWS hasn't so far. But with the continuous harassment of cloud providers by the useless eaters from Brussels, I bet that's only a matter of time.
Where do you see a problem?
I use MS Teams (Preview) on Linux. It's good enough for chat, doco sharing and other stuff it does. I don't give a crap about galleries, reactions and whatnot.
Any advice on where the affected parents and children can get $5-10K for tutoring so that their kids can catch up? Is the WEF running any give-aways these days?
Real incomes are decreasing everywhere, but slower in countries where governments serve the people rather than globalists and climatists as is the case in the UK, EU and North America.
The EU lost the exact same amount in that exchange and had to substitute it with inferior or more expensive goods and services from elsewhere.
So no, the UK is not in far worse shape as they can open up to the rest of the world and the EU cannot because it's built around the principles of self-isolation and trade barriers.
Why the UK hasn't done as much after Brexit is a different problem. Sadly, Johnson has turned to be useless, although not nearly as useless as May. I'd like to see a "UK Trump" take over for a while. It's very hard to do worse than the two main parties.
> we're going to make it as hard as possible to use privacy-centric versions of it...
Right, plus every time you use any coin, it's a taxable event. They need that money for green energy initiatives and endless wars, I suppose.
> The older I get, the more libertarian I get. Or anarchist. I don't know yet.
Keep up the good work!
That is what happens when globalists and climatists from Brussels grab you by your... budgets.
Things haven't been going great for Greece since Varoufakis betrayed his voters and local politicians became agents of the EU. Sad!
Gold does.
> You can have a stablecoin pegged to a basket of assets, a consumer price index, or some arbitrarily complex formula ("a quantity of value sufficient to buy {global average CO2 concentration minus 375} hectares of land in the forests of Yakutia"). As long as you can find an oracle to prove the index, and people to participate on all sides of the market, you can make such a stablecoin work.
Why would I want any of that?
I can buy real assets rather than assume that these oracles, "Smart" Contracts, code dependencies, blockchain (network), and developers will remain stable in extreme conditions.
If you need stablecoin, that's because cryptocurrencies are useless to denominate prices. We may as well use a Central Bankster-backed coin (which no one invested in crypto wants to admit).
It may be harder to remain anonymous, but at least there's much less to fail (mostly just the currency itself, which is why buying real-world assets represented by tokens is a much better approach).
(The charts and formulas made me laugh - seriously? Who wants to take Cryptocurrencies 101, read some "white paper" and do "research" before they decide to park savings in a "stable" coin??? Give up, it's ridiculous!)
Who's waging that war if not the State?
Who has been calling for ever more regulation and (therefore) Big Government if not Doctorow?
One has to be a fool to think that giving more power to the government will result in more freedom.
Let's revisit this after 2 additional interest rate hikes.
We're one pathetic 25bps hike from massive layoffs in the bloated tech sector.
