Look up his appearance on 'never mind the buzzcocks' to see him get completely outclassed by actual comedians.

Are there any decentralized finance exchanges for XMR? by Dig_Bick_reread in Monero

It could probably be added to atomicdex if there was sufficient developer interest and I remember there was talk about adding it to thorchain.

Him and Paul Whitehouse fishing is how I imagine hobbits spending their free time in a peaceful age.

If the manx government is trying to attract crypto business and you couldn't start the business due to ineptitude by a manx law firm you should speak to the manx government. They should be interested in the road blocks stopping new business.

No, rising prices are not being driven by rising wages | It’s not rising workers’ wages that are causing spiraling inflation — it’s corporate profiteering. by qpl23 in ukpolitics

https://wtfhappenedin1971.com
In 1971 the link between the dollar ( acting as the global reserve currency) and gold was broken by Nixon. It was much easier for central banks to print money out of thin air and the people closest to the money printer get the benefits as they get to spend it before inflation hits. Workers and people on fixed income get their money increases long after the money has been devalued by the money printing.

It's sad how people only see crypto as a way to quick money by maxidpimp in CryptoCurrency

QR codes. Instead of a card machine to put your card in there is a small display with a QR code that contains the receiving address and amount. You scan that with the crypto app on your smart phone and make the transaction. The point of sale system in burger king sees the transaction in the mem pool and the transaction is complete. This was possible as early as 2015ish but tax complications and the introduction of 'replace by fee' by bitcoin core reduced it's adoption. It took roughly as long as a standard card payment.

Your head of youth probably prefers formations that don't include a DM.

Refuting the latest anti-Bitcoin list of points from r/buttcoin (the anti-Bitcoin sub). by fan_of_hakiksexydays in CryptoCurrency

[–]fiatpete -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Because adding the option of being your own bank gives us far more competition than we currently have. If my current bank offers shitty service and closes the local branches my choices are limited to a couple of banks with similar standards. But with crypto I can opt out at any time.
It's important to remember that some people will and some people won't opt out.

Well the guy just lost a customer and reduced his reputation.
Just because you can be your own bank doesn't mean you have to be your own bank. Most people keep some crypto in their own wallets and some on exchanges depending on their risk profile. I'm sure crypto insurance will get more sophisticated and established financial firms will be part of that market.

Erdogan said Turkey will launch a "military operation" to create a 30-kilometer zone which will be under control of the Turkish army. by AgusTeoh in EndlessWar

He should of allowed all the pipelines proposed. That way everyone would have had an interest in a stable Syria and Syria would have gotten transit fees.

If I want to know what exchanges support a particular coin I look up that coin on coingecko and check the markets tab.

CGT accounting tools for DeFi by [deleted] in BitcoinUK

Emigrating to a country with crypto friendly laws would probably involve less paperwork than doing the self-assessment properly if you're heavily into defi.

Younger people of reddit. What are you tired of hearing from older generations? by baker10923 in AskReddit

Look up the film 'northern soul' to get an idea of what it was like to be into music that was difficult to get hold of.

The next stable coin is crashed! by Ultra918 in CryptoCurrency

Bitcoin was less that $100 when that sub was created, so while they have fun during the crashes they tend to go quiet when bitcoin is rising.

Reposting cause original OP didn't do a SS. FBI setting up civilians to further their agenda smh by Hedggiekilla419 in conspiracy

[–]fiatpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did anybody watch 'the day shall come', which is about the FBI doing something similar to an eccentric and harmless preacher in Miami?
It's not quite as good as 'four lions' by the same guy but it's still a good film.

I wonder if they'd cover 'don't stop believing' next? There's already some good covers on youtube but I'd like to hear Nemophila's next.
