The US isn’t
the land of opportunity
. It is a deeply aggressive cancer that feeds on the rest of the world’s resources both human and natural.

You joke but Björk is super approachable and friendly. She DJed my friend’s birthday party in Reykjavik one time.
I stand behind this idea 100%.
I’m sorry you have to start from such a defensive place about the crypto aspect of this idea. Don’t let hivemind anti-crypto people get you undermining or apologizing for your vision. It is the right way to do decentralized finance.
Most people would recommend ETH or BTC but I’d actually recommend you stay away from ETH because of the inherent non-determinism of the accounts model.
Full disclosure: I might be slightly biased since I moderate Cardano’s communities on Lemmy but, if you want the stability of BTC’s UTxO with smart contracts, I’d recommend Cardano. Decentralized in most every way including governance, fully open source, and utterly parallelizable (due to the UTxO nature of it).
You should also consider BTC or Monero if you don’t absolutely need smart contracts. But don’t let the investor moonbois get you using ETH or Solana. They’re both incredibly flawed and most likely unfixable (in ETH’s case because of nondeterminism and in Solana’s case because of centralization).
Good luck!
I met Bill in Boston on a trip to the Science museum in the 90’s. Perhaps we were annoying kids but I will never forget how much of a dickhead he was to everyone in my group including the teacher.
It’s not that hard to be nice to actual fans. We were all excited to get to meet him. Even the teacher agreed that Bill was at best unfriendly.
Fuck you, Bill Nye.
They could have shot it on a potato and most people wouldn’t have noticed.
I’m probably not most people since I do this professionally.
I used to be a projectionist.
The projector was fine.
Great dude. I use his signature Thomastik strings despite them costing $41/set. They’re noticeably better than anything else just like George himself. :)
And looks objectively terrible compared to basically ANY major motion picture released this year (perhaps just short of the great film but terribly-lit “Rob Peace”).
I was flabbergasted that such horrifically flat lighting and incredibly dismal/uninspired camera work didn’t trigger any reshoots (particularly with the $150 million budget they had and, as a consequence, the equipment they had at their disposal.)
Perhaps not all do. Many (not most) people in foreign countries still hold on to the hope that they can come to America and “succeed”. A good case in point: many of my Indian tech worker friends in the US and their opinion on the H1-B visa debate. They are overwhelmingly on Elon Musk’s side (in fact, many of them worship him) of that debate despite the fact that Musk uses captive H1-B visa people to run a legal sweatshop in the US. The US loves to perpetuate that opportunity myth as a way to attract scab laborers from poor counties.
