I think that currently the politicians in democracies do not understand how they should confront authoritarian regimes like China and Russia. It can be very simple – threatening such regimes a war unless they choose political liberalization. When Hitler started oppressing mass media in 1933, the France could threaten him – stop this unless we start a war. I am sure this was an easy way to prevent all horrors of the WW2. The Germans were eager to fight for their country, their “fatherland” as they understood it; but could they fight for political repressions in Germany, for closing independent mass media? I am sure that no. The same could happen in 2003 in Russia, when Putin started to take away the TV channels from Russian Oligarchs (NTV Ren TV). And it is not too late to perform this now. Possibly soon Putin will block youtube in Russia (if not – eventually youtube will destroy the state propaganda in Russia). If the West threatens in this case the missile strikes on Russian centers of state TV channels – this will easily end the rule of Putin in Russia. The Russians surely will not fight for blocking youtube, for supporting the Putin’s lies. The same with China. If I am not mistaken, the Chinese people are quite unhappy with the digital totalitarianism (state social rating) and surely will not fight for it. I don't plagiarizeA typical example of warmongering citizen filled with western propaganda. Bring in if you dare, the western neo-imperialism would be destroyed once and for all.

Democracy is a fragile thing. It's not a perfect system and it also is easily manipulated. Oligarchy comes with the coat of democracy. Most of the time, the change of the head of state won't have any effect on the oligarch that actually rules the country as these rich people has so much influence that the president/pm won't want to mess with them. Some believe they are what holding the nations and in absence of them, the economy would collapse and the nation would disintegrate. Oligarchy exist in almost all of democracy. There are certain group of people every politician wants to get favor from. Some politician do indeed tame and create new oligarch in their favor and such politician stays in power for longer. Like Putin and Modi.

I don't think Gadaffi's Libya and Putin's Russia are comparable. And Putin now has idea how the west works do destroy a nation. It's not as easy to buy off Russian nationals and they have a much better counter espionage network. And more of all, they would not want to destabilize a nuclear power.

I've seen a few case of couple patching up after a divorce, more so if they have kids. But that percentage is very low. Some don't go back just because of the humiliation.

My favorite subject has been Maths. Though my high scorer in High school was Chemistry. I did my bachelors in linguistics so no maths or chemistry there. And I'm having a career in law. So, now I'm doing another bachelors in law. And I kinda like it.

I don't plan to die anytime soon. And as there's no recorded reviews from any dead, I have no expectations for afterlife.

Friends let's do small judiciary work and legal advice this morning. A woman was accused of killing her husband, his body was never found and she was sentenced. Years after serving her jail term, she found out the man is living with another woman.
She went and shot the man several times and he died for real this time around and she was re-arrested for the same murder on the same person.
As a judge what will you do ? will you address the case as a fresh murder or will you consider it as a crime she already served the term? lawyers, your opinion is needed. Over to you
Most countries does not sentence a person on murder without finding the body (or skeleton).

Can't put all of them on the same bucket. But a lot of alts are much more safer than bitcoin and a lot more risky. It also depends on the nature of crypto, their use and usability, supply and tokenomics. You can expect a audited bond crypto to be safest while you can't expect much profit from them. Generally the more risk you take, more are chances of high profit or total loss.

With the change in strategy from new projects as well as exchanges, it's not easy to join public sale of new projects. They are scattered in many different launch platforms and finding a good project is a difficult task. DEFIs are quite popular at this time and one idea to find good defi is to look at their audit report. Independent auditor do a fine job of pointingg out different issues including but not limited to higher centralization or poor token economics.

It already started a month ago but the real question is how low would btc go? BTC had already came to half of it's all time high or the highest point of the recent bull run. Now there's a good resistance being built up and would the current trend be able to break the resistance of 30K or won't would determine the lowest point. With so much institutional investment and whales actively bagging coins on dips, I have low confidence for BTC moving below 30K, even if it did, it would be a brief one.

The fees for last 15 days has been averaging for 10 gwei, which to some extent is similar to the largest competitor at the moment, BSC. This is indeed a great improvement in Ethereum blockchain and the hard work of the team is bringing the yield. We can see they are not stopping here and have one of the most active roadmap among popular coins. This is already more than I have expected considering how high the fees were just 3 months ago.

Stablecoins unlike speculative coin has no large impact on the economy of fiat. Most of them could be centrally controlled (DAO seems to be a decentralized one) and are auditable. So, IMF might be promoting them in order to make crypto less useful as they'd conquer the transaction market.

With the restricted access and withdrawal and probably no trading on exchange, Libra possibly may not have any impact on the price of bitcoin. It could be just another bongo token. But it has popularised the word cryptocurrency to the world. The news about Libra are making a topic even in local news outlets in my country. It was even asked in a quiz contest on a national level TV show. So, its making cryptocurrencies popular.

Hi. You should also ask users to post an authentication post here to confirm the person with the Bitcointalk ID is the one filling the form. Otherwise many of the impostor may use others ID to fill the form and create trouble managing the campaign.

Facebook like any other companies can do whatever that may benefit them. Many companies have come up with different ideas and cryptocoins and Facebook now is entering the crypto market in a huge way. The choice of using or not using the coin is a personal choice.

Deeponion should rebrand them. This is the shittiest sounding name I have ever come accross.
But anyways, can someone point me to a report where the source of this bump is discussed? or is this purely a pump dump game?
DeepOnion has always been a pump and dump game. This coin was dead for some time and now suddenly it's getting some momentum. Anyone if still holds the coin, it would be the best time to sell before the dump starts.

Libra would of course give a taste of crypto to a lot of people who are still unknown about it. Libra being a stable coin would make buying bitcoin easier and many people would start the crypto world with Libra. The question is whether people would be freely able to trade libra or not.
