I didn't realise this until just now - I kept clicking the "♥" with # of likes next to it expecting to see the list of likes but getting the tipping field instead. Just my intuition.
Prediction: CFTC and DOJ investigations of Tether find massive fraud. Flash crash in crypto markets, BTC under $1k - the flippening finally happens, but in the grimmest of ways.
Crazy idea: trial Andrew Yang's proposed $1k/month UBI on veterans. If you ever served in the military in any capacity, you get $1k/month with no strings. See the results 1 year later.
me too, I'll add the second half "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand
A global government could turn into the final monopoly on force. I prefer to have multiple competing states, where tyrannies inevitably lose business and their people to freer states.
true, more competition is better for everyone (lower prices & higher quality). smallest & most states possible. "The smallest minority on earth is the individual." - Ayn Rand

That is definitely true, another thing that is different with Christianity and Judaism compared to Islam is that there is no marriage with the religion and state, politics is seperate.
Matthew 22:21 ("render to Caesar..") does so much heavy lifting for Christians who just want to fit in with the laws/society they find themselves in. Islam has had no such luck...
I'll say I am all for it. I want a global government with a constitution all nation states must follow.

That is an interesting idea, currently when you sign up you get the option of sending a message to the developers to get some free BCH to use.
That must be new since I joined, that's great! Also free.bitcoin.com is pretty good - $0.10 worth of BCH at current prices is almost 20k sats, enough for something like 50 posts.
Idea to help first-timers with no BCH: a single off-chain pseudo-topic (stored on this website only) where an account can post for free but still receive on-chain tips. Just rate limit to avoid spam.
As someone who currently has little disposable income to invest but who will move to a much more lucrative job next year, a multi-year bear market would be a welcome chance to accumulate.
And then a whistleblower at Tether leaks evidence that USDT isn't backed by USD at all, USDT crashes, whole crypto space crashes too because USDT accounts for a lot of trading pairs
A govt that wants to do bad things to its citizens will do them by controlling the flow of information in order to make the bad things look like good things. (Just like /r/Bitcoin)

Or to make good people look like bad people who deserve the bad things that the govt does to them (e.g. non-violent offenders in prison, minorities in internment camps, etc)
