Yeah. He had Cheney as his handler. The same Cheney who was on stage talking about great Harris is.

MAGA congress critters are all generally in safe, gerrymandered districts.

How does one push their elected to a desired position, if there's nothing backing that push?

Remember: Our vote is like the only tool we have to hold electeds to account.

They tend to take those fictional tales of warning, and use them as blueprints. Like, they read "Don't Build the Toment Nexus" and decided that building the Torment Nexus was a grand idea.

I guarantee those execs think they will be building Star Trek / Federation level society

Nah, they know they will just be building the Ferengi Trade Empire.

Smart contracts are designed, programmed and, if they’re done right, rigorously audited for correctness.

What do these "smart contracts" make? And why do we need to burn up tons of fossil fuels, just to have contracts like we had before?

And how is this better than a typical contract?

Bitcoin was relatively simple, Ethereum is not.

Both are simple ponzi schemes.

They’ve spent years crafting these systems to function for PoS, L2 support, sharding, rollups, etc., at scale.

And all that time, they are still ponzi schemes that do none of the above very well. We've had all of that in the merchant payment systems for decades now, all without the need to consume more electricity than many small nations, just to approve a transaction.

Well, we can be rather certain it's not going up over the next month, wouldn't you agree? Not unless somehow we can re-wind international politics.

There is no utility really, for ponzicoins. You can't make anything from it. You can use it to make anything. You can't eat it. You can't hydrate with it. And you can't use the notes to summon military aid.

I suppose you can buy drugs with it. Maybe.

So yes, it's a Greatest Fool game.

It just would be difficult to find one outside of a hospital or care home.

Hey now! Elon and Rubio are right there
