No we don't.

Misleading headline. Recognizing bitcoin as legal tender and adoption arent the same.

Almost as? Can anyone have imagined a more disorderly retreat? A mess is an understatement.

I cringe every time I see such comments. Ban bitcoin or ban beef because it uses too much energy.

Humanity will continue to require energy as it advances and banning anything "because it uses too much energy" is a ridiculous advice. How about we ban gold mining, or set quotas on the number of children people may have, that will surely contribute to our CO2 reduction goals. It's also Orwellian and reminiscent of how the world looked like for citizens of the USSR back in 1960-1990

Absolutely. If anyone believes this bs they're just enabling and encouraging musk to continue manipulating markets as he pleases. People will now start praising his decision but make no mistake, I don't know what was the real reason behind it but sure as hell it wasn't climate change and the way musk goes about releasing information that is moving markets is contemtable

> So I looked at my husband and asked the big question: How far would he support me in taking this? What if I didn’t delete the tweet and I got fired for it and we lost our health insurance? He told me to stand my ground, even though he’s in multiple high-risk categories for COVID as a cancer survivor with asthma, and that’s why I love him so much.

Heh I'll probably get downvoted for saying this, but that's not brave, that's just plain irresponsible and stupid, she's literally trading more risk(and that risk concerns her family too) for no gain whatsoever (it costs nothing to delete a tweet, but the loss of her job could potentially cost her everything).

Be smarter and pick your battles wisely.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. Crypto was always about freedom, and as things stand the right is advocating for freedom more than the left (gun rights, freedom of speech, smaller taxes).

Crypto was always about freedom, you're liberated from the dependence on your country, bank, or whatever else it may be. Your fate is in your own hands, your wallet, your funds.

I won't because I'm neither American nor a lawyer, but I will answer your question.

The person in question wanted to remain anonymous for good reasons, they didn't consent to have their true identity revealed and yet a powerful news corp decided to do that anyway, clearly in bad faith and for their own gain, violating that person's and their relatives' privacy. It's obvious the aim was to incite verbal violence against and "cancel" that man because he committed the heinous crime of wrongthink.

The whole story background story is extremely alarming. NYT unilaterally decided to reveal someone's real identity against that person's wishes. It should honestly be made illegal but given the current political climate it's doubtful such course of action will ever be considered. This whole situation gives even more credence to the idea that decentralisation is the only way forward for mankind if we intend to preserve the liberties our ancestors enjoyed for the past 300 years.

I mean, I share your sentiment even if it doesn't add value to the conversation, but they are communists, it's quite the opposite of fascism and equally as or more evil.

This sounds substantially overengineered way to justify his actions and relieve his conscience. In an organization of 17 people a person in his position would know exactly which people would work together to build a great team and which would not. In such a small team it's as much about the roles as it is about the people themselves, his method apparently completely dismisses that element of the decision.

Unless you want to redefine the word "stealing" it totally is.

Alright, and who is going to invest and build future apartments if there will be a high risk their properties will then be confiscated for "the greater good"?

So you're advocating for stealing these empty apartments from their owners and giving them to the poor, obviously, for free?

Indeed, that's what companies do, earn money for their investors and owners. Sorry to be blunt, but that's how the world works and arguably talented developers can relatively easily find other jobs that are less stressful.
