Truth is that a shite miserable 25 year old xfce could be customised in a way good enough to compete with OS X. Why waste all the time on such a massive amount of extremely useless work? Just because it is fun?

And yeah, you can downvote this into oblivion, I don't care. The fact is that 80% of the comments on this thread are making fun of the very same retards for the very same reasons.

So, you don't quite need to live in SanFran in order to not consider $1,000,000 serious money.

Yes, I could go back to my home town of Sofia, but even there 1 mil won't take me too far (certainly not make me an all-mighty mogul, this is 100x times of capital volume away. and if we're talking about buying journos and influecing public opinion, then - 1000x of capital volume). And to be honest I envy people in urban areas such as Austin (ČR is rated ~150th in the world (between Zimbabwe and Botswana) on granting construction permits) for having a real supply-demand based housing market, where you are not getting brutally punished for wanting to raise a family.

And yes, I currently live off rent, take only gigs I consider meaningful (currently hoping to get in Fidelity IT), but drive an 8-year old 530xi and live in a rented 3-bedroom flat as I expect my BTC to grow in value quicker than real estate (as has been the case in the past 8 years). This is the frugal lifestyle I mean.

P.S. Anyway - cheers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJbgNvP47-0

BTW Juraj is a great source on anything crypto-related. And from what I now there has been no resistance from the pools so far (at least the EU/US-based ones, though in China it is probably even more difficult.)

1. The currency board countries are very small players, mostly beaten to blue and also not all currency boards are tied to USD.

2. The bulk (I guess 90%+) of global lending is still in USD - a currency which the Fed can debase at will - as has been happening since 2008 and happened at a grande scale in 2020.

This brings only frustration and bitterness - the last two things you want in international relations, especially in the post-nuclear age soft-power days.

P.S. I think that the US was playing this role very well over the past 76 years and am perfectly happy with 90% of what has been done.

Let's hope it is just a side-step given that BTC with censorship/regulation is just a breaking of a glass-wall away from perfectly free monetary unit.

P.S. If you are looking to get no-KYC truly anonymous BTC you'd better live in a top-10 city (e.g. Prague), because in a top-100 city (e.g. Sofia) it is not quite straight-forward and takes tons of waiting/selecting.

In the US there is Webull, which went against their clients initially and then reversed. As an European - where should I go to? Binance/Kraken seems the only reasonable option at this point, however crypto has ties to the real world only on macro-economic scale (although very relevant) and you cannot use your "capital" to influence the world around you in a good way.

P.S. I know that Fidelity and other well-reputed vendors didn't turn coats, but I am not sure it is an option here. P.P.S. This reminded me of https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tina-there-no-alternati....
