And so has a civil war in the U.S.

I kinda doubt thats gunna happen. most people here are too lazy to fight and would rather look at tiktok videos on their phones. and anyway everyone knows war is hell so that’s a further deterrent for it**___**

I think a lot of people realize that trump is increasing the power of the govt, but the word fascist means different things to different people. Everyone thinks Hitler was a fascist, that Mussolini was one, but theres tons of people who oppose trump and think he fits into a different description that doesn’t involve fascism. And ofc the people who do support him don’t think he is and the ones that do are chill with it.

What is the point of bitcoin if the value is directly tied to another currency?

well this stuff isn’t Bitcoin, that’s a separate system entirely, and the point isn’t for these stablecoins to rise over time. the hope with them is that by using the dollars relative stability they can be used to conduct financial transactions that have a much more stable value than using something like Bitcoin

for example the prediction-betting site Polymarket uses a stablecoin called USDC for its transactions, instaid of some other cryptocurrency

its decentralized in a sense that it’s extremely difficult to reverse transacitons and that you can keep money in a wallet without people being able to take it from you, but the value of it is set by a single company so it’s isn’t really decentralized

idk how to answer your second question

not stablecoins that for sure

if its tied to the dollar, and the dollar goes down, the stablecoin will also go down. they’d probably put their money in Bitcoin and gold

I dont see how stablecoins are gunna mess with the economy

there’s actually bad stuff going on right now, and especially compared to that, this doesn’t seem like a problem at all

Nobody is saying that the Iranian government isn’t evil.

nobody here is saying they are btw, its just glossed over and ignored and too many people here think Iran is in the right

while Israel has nukes, and is subject to MAD, there’s a ton of debate and uncertainty about how much Iran cares for MAD when they finish their nukes

thats most of the reason why people are worried about them rn if you cant tell

and then people didnt vote in the 2024 election

yeah its also created some of the biggest problems

all wars, all genocides ect, that’s pretty bad stuff

pretty much everyone is a ‘baddy’ but some are vastly worse than others

thats actually great!

there is already a political memes channel, put it there

propaganda

can someone go tell the Nebraskans to primary this guy out? he seems kinda dumb

average Texas moment

This honestly isn’t that bad of an idea, but theres much more pressing issues than this

If you have an amount of water that can be divided, it touches other water. Therefore water is wet unless it is a single molecule

ok I checked the comments on this because I thought we were gonna start analysing the actual stuff in the graphs or something and now everyone’s yapping about how economists are all evil or something

this is gonna get mass downvoted and I don’t care

doesnt sound very free market to me

if they raise prices because they have to, thats just normal

if they raise prices because they can get away with it, thats kinda nasty though
