Maybe in a few years, we will come to the conclusion that we should separate money from the state for the same reason we separated the church from the state

I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in the EU, many countries have contracts with the Vatican that guarantee that the states pay the church every year sums of money that are not insignificant. I think that the Catholic Church in my country receives somewhere around EUR 40 million from the state budget every year.

No matter that the idea seems interesting, I wonder who would control the finances in that case - because if there is no central bank and other regulatory institutions, what would the financial system of a country look like?

Well, USDT doesn't have any sort of privacy at all and is not a coin I will be shedding any tears over if it gets banned. DAI is the better usd-pegged stablecoin with no asset freezing feature.

That's true, but it's no secret why stablecoins are so popular - because they can be transferred very easily and cheaply, and many people use USDT in the EU for this very reason. I don't think it's a coincidence that mixers and stablecoins are banned at practically the same time when something similar is happening in the US.

Well, I have been spreading awareness everywhere about phishing; unfortunately, I was the victim last night when an email was phished at midnight, and I did not have access to my desktop or laptop. I did not doubt the email because it was exclusively for airdrop farming. Since I was on my mobile, I did not check that email's URL and sender. I clicked on the link and went ahead and connected the metamask wallet. It takes only a few seconds to drain my entire wallet. Fortunately, The contract did not drain all the chains. The blast and Arbitrum chains were drained, and the ETH and Avalance chains weren't affected.

Campaign manager is 1 route to go, but the company could also do a review campaign. A manager can help with that as well, but isn't always needed. Companies can research and do this on their own if they have a little sense.

I like reviews campaigns. I have participated in many of them, and sometimes I continue to use the service afterwards

Projects only pays for positive reviews, which is why they rarely assign this work to a reputable campaign manager who will pay for honest ratings (poor or good). .

This is also what Satoshi wanted when he created BTC: a currency that is not dependent on any individual or organization. However, this is quite difficult to achieve for many reasons, and at present we do not see BTC becoming a currency, it is still considered a commodity, asset or investment related to technology.

...people should use DAI instead of USDT in my opinion (EU users, be careful USDT will be banned in June for the whole EU).

I didn't know that the EU geniuses would do it, but it has been a big wish of some people from the ECB for years, especially their chief CL, who otherwise has a similar position on cryptocurrencies as, for example, the well-known SEC chairman. Given that I do not use stablecoins, this decision will not affect me, but it is really funny to me that they are fighting in such radical ways against everything they consider a threat to the euro - but they are obviously learning from their political brothers across the big pond.

They feel threatened ^{at least for the Euro}, so they decided that it is best to ignore the problem.  The old school of politicians really needs to retire, they have a hard time adapting.

Great job buddy, those guys often shit their announcement thread with alt accounts to get some attention but they don't understand that newbie accounts aren't trusted by anyone and even if the continue shilling the thread it won't give them desired results.

It's probably an old technique to use the SEO power of the host (forum in this case) as a result when someone searches for a certain service and gets a lot of positive feedback. It can be difficult for someone from the outside to distinguish fake from real comments because they probably don't understand the hierarchy of the forum.
