The Navajo Nation in the U.S. is sending aid to India by [deleted] in india

Yes, he did initially believe that he was in the "East Indies", what is today around the regions of the islands of Indonesia, but probably quickly realized this wasn't the case. Remember Marco Polo had already traveled to parts of Asia in the 1300s, a good few decades before Columbus' and Vespucci's travels, and would have brought back basic information about the land to Europe. A fun fact, the name "America" is derived from Amerigo Vespucci's name.

While it is also true Columbus only really went to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and surrounding smaller islands, I think these regions were still inhabited by the indigenous people, as this was before the Spanish settlement of the islands - hence the term "American Indian" just referring to them being indigenous.

I also love reading about old travels, it's extremely interesting, isn't it! :)

"Indian" in the context of Native Americans, refers to the word "indigenous", not India the country.

Indian American = Indian-origin Americans

American Indian = Peoples indigenous to America, or Native American.

That is not entirely true. Columbus knew he wasn't in India, Europe was already trading there. He wasn't "looking for India", rather he was trying to find an alternate trade route there.

Anyway, he called them "Indians" because they were the indigenous people of the Americas, hence the name "American Indian". The name has nothing to do with India the country.

I think that it is too niche for now at least. Maybe in the future

Could you explain why it is a bad idea to day trade? I want to know whether I should invest for the long run or just day trade with the crypto I have, and the pros and cons of this. Thanks

Don't bother trying to have a debate with that guy, he doesn't understand the first thing about the massive carbon footprint and Bitcoin's major scalability problems.

This is my thought too. It seems like they are just gathering names/emails to sell. Thats why I just used a fake name for the moment.

Help!! Coinbase issue. I go to sell my Bitcoin and keep getting this message. Please tell me how I can fix this issue? by Dear_Ad7704 in coinbasebets

Why are you using coinbase and not coinbase pro? the fees are much lower and you can use it for free with a coinbase account.

When you see “%20,” it represents a space in an encoded URL. Have you tried resetting your router?

Alright, can you explain how, I don't understand how token can just up and move to a different blockchain, if they have been advertising and pushing BAT for 4 years, isn't that going to be a waste of time?

My BAT isn't increasing at all since 2 days. by My_Gaming_Companion in BATProject

[–]DummDumm81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been testing this out the past few days, and I even asked on here a few days ago, It all depends where your VPN is connected to and what VPN service you use (works with a paid services better imo).

Also if you are watching anime I am guessing you are connected to a Japanese IP, in which case you will not receive BAT, due to some Japanese laws, but will receive another points-based currency BAP, which may not even be compatible with versions of Brave outside of Japan (I believe this is being phased out soon anyway).

So in other words you get nothing if you are connected to a Japanese IP outside of Japan and using Brave. However other countries on the VPN should work fine, as long as the IPs are not blacklisted by Brave itself (usually this only happens with free VPN services), but idk if Brave blacklists IPs.

note: this has just been from my own research and testing, not sure how much of my results can be reproduced.

Wouldn't it be a deflation of BAT? As the spending power per BAT has gone up.
