I didn't say VS, I said a tug of war. Meaning they pull at each other, and play with each other well. Growth and government stability via policy, keeping each other in balance. Too much socialism leads to a central authority with too much power, too much capitalism leads to monopolies with too much power. And yes there is more than capitalism and socialism. But the author was OP was focused on growth and socialist policies.

I don't think it's obvious. Growth and innovation go hand and hand. A tug of war between capitalism and socialism is essential for a healthy society that can solve exciting problems via markets. It's not perfect, but the growth model keeps society agile, with many options via startups and market competition. It gives us the toolbelt to solve complex problems quickly. It's challenging to start up industries and maintain the plumbing to combat world problems when we have non-innovative, non-incentivized markets. It's apparent that I'm rattling off some generalizations.

So half of those issues can be caused by candida overgrowth. If you get rid of the candida your body will reduce it’s heightened immune response and things like epstein barr and hashimotos will go away, testosterone will increase, etc.

I was also on antifungals and yes it was quite brutal. I was quite tired and had a red flush from the die off. I took off the shelf liposomal glutathione to help clear out the oxidative stress.

You can unpin it, and it will eventually be removed from other non pinned sources.

There is an easy way to cast your vote for saying yes to Privacy. Turn off auto-updates and don't update to iOS 15. Spread the word.

Weird how I got so many minus points for an actual experience.

Web3 is definitely the new wild west of the internet. I agree there will be wild price swings, but it will stabilize as more people are onboarded.

Yes, I went from Coinbase to managing my own wallet. Coinbase was my stepping stone, but now with my own wallet I have access to so many other products without Coinbase taking a fee and products that Coinbase doesn't offer. Coinbase helped me understand what was possible, now I have graduated to liquidity pools, staking and DEX's.

It turned into a 1 trillion dollar market three weeks ago. DeFi has been on an upward trend for the past 6 months. It is happening. Banks were just allowed in January to start interacting with public blockchains, so give that a year. The regulatory walls are dropping and accessibility is increasing with the likes of Visa and Mastercard.

They don't know they want it, till they know what it means. It means independence from central exchanges, it means the money in your savings account of .01% interest account can now be directly leveraged by loans on Aave, which return 5-9% interest. No middleman managing your money. Your assets can be directly accessed by people who need it.

More transparent than the opaque financial industry. You as a user completely own your assets, with your public key. Yes blockchain wallets/public keys are bad UX, but at the same time they give you actual ownership of your securities/index funds. A person can have access to the same financial products that banks have access to, because they cost a fraction of a price to run then they normally do on CEX and instead of waiting for 3 days for a transaction to complete, it completes in 5 minutes. I could go on and on... Essentially blockchain makes financial products faster, cheaper and more accessible. No middlemen involved and a transparent audit trail.

I have been in the blockchain space for about three years, and there is an explosion in tech and innovation in the last six months. Visa, Mastercard etc... are integrating, bank regulators now allow banks to connect to public networks. It just astounds me sometimes how people can be so confident in a review of a platform type and done so little research. I urge you to take a second look. Blockchain is primed to disrupt the financial industry.
