The Julian Assange hearing started today.  This is an  extradition appeal in front of the High Court in London.  Is anyone else following this?
Let's hope he is freed.

If it isn't this is one of those classic threads from the old days still continuing.  I wonder where the original poster ran off to?

This whole operation is a war crime, it is terrible to see this.  The power imbalance here makes everything that much more ridiculous.

Has anyone else read the recent news article about the forced rectal feeding of CIA prisoners?
What a bunch of sick fuckers these people are.

While Biden certainly isn't a great President, how of his predecessors actually were anyhow, if you ignore the shills?  It's almost as if they won't allow a decent man to be voted into office.

So we have seen Cryptocurrency hit with many huge scams, come under increased scrutiny and regulation, as well as being the subject of environmental concerns.

As of late, Bitcoin is trading at the lowest levels I've seen it trade in quite some time.
So I made this poll to gage the latest opinions of the users here.
The question is, due to any of these issues, or a combination of them, are we finally going to see the end of Bitcoin and
Cryptocurrency or is it stilla safe haven?

I read about a cryptocurrency hack recently where they were able to steal tens of millions of dollars.
With that kind of money involved, I'm surprised this doesn't happen often.  Good thing that people are so honest.
 

So Bitcoin has always used proof of work as did Ethereum.  But with Ethereum switching over some of us must be thinking of the possibility of Bitcoin doing so as well at some point.  With that in mind I wanted to revisit this topic as I remember there being a lot of criticism of proof of stake with the arrival of the first coins to start  using it, but I don't recall the specifics.
One thing is we know that with proof of stake no actual work is required for the validation which secures the blockchain.  Is this a concern or does it not really matter? What do you think are the other risks or concerns?

Anyone else follow world events closely? It seems like there is more and more disasters, mostly manmade, by the day. Along with the threats of war, plagues, and general environmental decline.
I'm not trying to post one of those 'the sky is falling' threads, but if you look closely there's a lot of negative events coming at us from many different angles.

Things seem to be falling apart, and I think it has been building up to this for quite some time.

We cannot continue to support Elon Musk or Tesla.
Elon Musk is constantly trying to manipulate the Cryptocurrency markets and his followers. It's all he does. This is unprofessional, it's bad business, and it's not good for our cause.

Of note, manipulativeness is a key characteristic of Psychopathy.

Meant to say Volt, fixed.

I want to buy some more Dogecoin.
Do you think this is a good time to buy?

Tesla's are garbage, buy a Chevy Bolt instead really.

WHACKD, the token from Mcafee.
I found I still have some of this in an old wallet from an airdrop.  A few other tokens as well, but this one is the most high profile of the bunch.
Is there any chance of this being rediscovered, or is it locked down and not possible to trade?

I Hereby declare the u.s. government military command team to be incompetent and unfit for service.

It is necessary to create a temporary interim military command.

Until that is done i will be giving this order under that capacity.

To anyone capable and aware:
You are hereby authorized to locate the source of the direct energy weapon attacks using any means available.
You are also authorized to destroy these targets and any hostiles using any and all necessary force up to and including tactical(low yield) nuclear devices.
You may do so now.

EMERGENCY.  U. S. A under attack by direct energy weapons
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. WE ARE AT WAR NOW.

None of us thought DOGE could get where it is.
Looking at it now, I think they could push this anywhere.
$10 - $15 even
Trillion dollar marketcap?  Sure, why not.

Is Ethereum and other altcoins taking over and replacing Bitcoin?
If so, how fast will this happen?
