Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.

Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts .. to process less than 7 transactions per second :

Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.

This could be joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dolllars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

I love it when train doors align at the end of a tunnel. The red tiles at Green Park station make this the ideal location to capture this moment.

It wasn't luck though, instead I froze the moving train with a fast shutter. It took ages to get it centred.

#quote | «In the immediate aftermath of President Putin’s regime, whoever replaces him will be just as nationalistic and authoritarian. Western policymakers should stop hoping for a “moderate” Russian leader who wants peace with his neighbors and reforms at home»

why? because putin's not the cause but just one of the consequences; the #fascism of the #russian nation would be the actual cause, and that fascism won't just go away with putin.

Another weird thing — I'm with other people whom I don't know and am about to compile information about and other (sic!) anti-war (!!) nazi-supporters in the during . (Sounds familiar? @drq and other "good russians" who are "against the war"?).

It may look really awkward for people who look over my shoulder into my screen.

I mean, I know what *not* to do — not to take off my mask. I won't die from ear bruising or whatever. My question is more like...

What to do after I can take it off? Is it some treatment for earache?

I traveled by bus and by train, was wearing a mask while boarding too, so I spent a majority of 48 wearing a proper mask. My ears hurt to a degree where I can't cope anymore I don't know what to do. It actually hurts. A_A_A_A_A.

Normalize not giving a fuck about the needs of those who demand your labor and refuse to pay for it.

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

Location briefs and four events that can happen in a hill village by Sedan on 2nd of January, 1939.

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Wrote my first entry.
It's set on a peaceful crispy morning of January 1st, 1939, in Sedan, France.

@docpop -
1) Agree. Everything about #Crypto is greater-fool-theory, as best.
2) To crush the #CryptoScams? EDUCATION. Educating our legislators, and educating the public.
3) The other way to crush the scams would be to get a super talented and dedicated lawyer like @marcelias to sue every high-profile celebrity who has promoted false Crypto claims for their last dime.
