Russian oligarch's trophy wife, I would hazard a guess..?
They'll publish her name eventually, as it seems they want to make an example. The point is, it might affect some of us in the future, as £50,000 is not that much. I guess the lesson here: sometimes it's better to rent expensive things instead of buying them.

Ok. It's official. I'm drying myself off for a bit. With any luck, I shed 5 lbs of bloat in the next 7 days. ... and more importantly, Bitcorn heads towards $7k USD. Sheeeit Then it's better for all involved

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cidZRD3NzHg George Gilder: Forget Cloud Computing, Blockchain is the Future ~transcript for d_eddie https://www.hoover.org/research/george-gilder-forget-cloud-computing-blockchain-futureGilder argues that cloud computing, while it was the hot new technology ten years ago, has reached its limits as the physical limitations of big data storage centers maxes out. Improvements in parsing big data are incremental at this point, and it’s time for the next big technology to take its place. Gilder points to blockchain as the technology of the future, with its ability to prevent corruption and manipulation of transaction data and the infinite uses it could have in third world countries. Gilder also discusses the history of technology, artificial intelligence, and the revolutionary bitcoin. He argues that artificial intelligence can never replace human intelligence and creativity and that in principle, it is impossible for machines to take over.

The really amazing part of the Petro is that for the first time an entire nation will learn crypto oriented currency. Boom or bust, this is likely to be a noteworthy turning point in financial history.

Thanks for the usual impeccable scouting, and for the personal touch of a transcript "Blockchain as the technology of the future" though? That is almost right, but not quite. I think it's more like "bitcoin as the money of the future".

Since the Petro is a centralized government coin, it could be printed out of thin air like fiat, so I would not really hold much of them as a storage of wealth. But it is interesting the way, that I could use it, just like Bitcoin, to purchase some stuff from Venezuela. And the banks can do nothing about it.

Well that just means that Petro has some functionality. What would happen if White House applied the same rules for Bticoin?

Yuh his whole thesis is very curate's egg, but notbad for an older bloke. Peter Robinson: I just want to make sure I heard this right. You just called Larry Page and Sergey Brin, these geniuses who in 20 years have gone from zero to a company with a market cap of 870 billion at market close yesterday. You just called them delusional. I heard that right? George Gilder: Yep. There are a lot of delusional, brilliant Marxists in the world.

I think we can quite safely predict that the Petro will be a total bust, and if anything will be negative for some peoples view of cryptocurrencies. I doubt it will have a lot of impact in the larger scheme of things though.
