In an unusual and unusable place

How do they still have money

They are printing it… 18% inflation…

There are open groups on Telegram in which people post that they want to see person XY dead… Everyone who joins the open group can read it anyway.

They decided not to moderate this and not to delete illegal content once reported, although it’s easily possible without breaking encryption.

IMO, this has not much to do with privacy.

This is like posting that we should kill someone on Reddit and nothing is happening.

Contamination via Selfie? I hope, they recover well…

Thanks, did not know about this.

So, from a technical view…

There is a person who is mad about the fact that a different opinion might exist… That person clicks downvote in their app and it does not have any effect??

Or are the downvotes still broascasted to all instances, but “my new” instance just ignores them? Just curious, how dislikes enabled and disabled both work in a decentralized system…

Showing upvoters and removing downvotes completely!!

People downvote totally harmless posts and comments, just because they have a different opinion.

This useless and contraproductive negativity is the reason why YouTube removed downvotes and many other platforms never offered such a feature.

Imagine, you destroyed the GDP of your country by -75% in 8 years and seriously think that you are not done yet and are the solution.

That’s probably true, but just to highlight this: Bitcoin is not untraceable

Well, there are countries like Turkey with a currency that lost 95% of its value during the last 10 years. In such countries, Bitcoin is a way to have a currency that does not have a guarantee to ruin you. When your country has 60% inflation like Turkey, the deflation currency might be seen as a gift. So, this might be a legal use case…

Let’s ignore crypto for a second…

People in the USA loose around $10.000.000.000 per year to scams according to FTC…

And for donations to Wikileaks, we don’t want the government to be able to reverse or block them. That’s what PayPal did with then before Bitcoin was invented.

I don’t think that Bitcoin can or should replace the current system, but it can be an addition for rarer cases.

But yes: Most of the other blockchain stuff is just completely useless and therefore not used.

Adding support? It’s a web site. If it works on one OS, it should work on the others automatically with few exceptions. Otherwise, it’s probably a bug in Firefox.

You can browse the maps of the “repository” via openstreetmap.org in your browser. There are multiple apps using the “repository”, like Gnome Maps for Linux or OsmAnd on Android… And many other apps: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop

What exactly is the problem?

Please tell me where I (or anyone) wrote “Bitcoin provides stability” without comparing it to another currency…

I assume, arguing with you is an endless circle where you argue against fake arguments that no one has brought up. I’ll therefore end this here. Why are you like this?

Turkey’s currency dropped 83% in the last 5 years and 94% in 10 years (per USD). And by the way: It dropped and did not rise the same amount ever again…

Why can’t we just agree that different people might have different views whether it’s useful for them?

Is it more stable compared to USD? No. Is it more stable compared to dozens of other currencies? Yes.

I think, there are very good arguments against BTC, for example the energy consunption… But whether it’s too risky for you or not… That’s highly subjective IMO. There is no country on this planet with only BTC as official currency. So, no one is forced to hold 100% of their total money in BTC.

I think, whether it’s helpful is an individual decision. E.g. for people in Turkey, it’s a lot more stable than their own currency. Same logic for probably dozens of other countries…

Maybe, it’s not useful for you, but that’s OK. No one is trying to replace your currency with it and force you to use it.

Short reminder that Bitcoin was created as a reaction on the world finance crisis and to allow people like Assange to receive donations, because PayPal and similar just blocked them…

That does not mean that Botcoin is perfect, but: If the alternative system was perfect, there was not bitcoin.

Now, do we need an emoji? I don’t care TBH…

Excuse me, but if they advertise that they don’t give others your exact location (only a larger radius), I expect that to be true and that an extremist can’t use a dating app to track down gay people to their home address.

I heard, they recently conquered a village*.

/* village totally destroyed, more than 100 own people died, the area of the largest country of the planet grew by 0.0001%

An alternative is needed? The search in the nearest old people’s home has probably already begun.

Sorry for the sarcasm…
