In the part about censorship resistance, he drops this gem:

Quote

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.

In Brazil, churches do not pay any Taxes at all

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?

Bitcoin.

There are some countries which uses usd directly. Panama, Ecuador..  so, it can workout without a central printing.

I don't think it is because USDT is a stablecoin and that is why the network is very fast. But it is because the traffic is like much since it is not volatile like bitcoin. Stablecoins are not really too good for people because they think that it would not give them any profit because it is in one one place for a very long time. People like to keep coins in USDT for selling or buying so that they would not lost in the process.

There is no need for the comparison of bitcoin to USDT because it does not worth it. USDT is stable and centralized, and that is why it is still the same with fiat usd. Bitcoin might have one or two challenges in fees due to mempool congestion, but that does not mean that it should be compared with vegetables.

Usdt is mostly used to secure investment especially when trader are trading and there is market fluctuations like uncalled dip at this point the trader can easily stop trading and secure their funds in exchange using usdt or any stable coin on exchange such dai, usdc and any other currency that serves as stablecoin. I don't they should be compared together because both has no similarities and one is centralized while the other is decentralized currency.

If the Earth is round, is anything actually flat? Is a plateau a real thing? You could literally question just about anything in existence and have a legitimate argument without ever being completely right or wrong.

Some people especially the conspiracy theorist like Alex jones believe so.  But if you ask about flat, just look at water. The principle is that water always find the shape of a flat either in a glass of water, lake or the sea. Water is always flat.  Just think about us in the middle of a flat water and the continents are floating.

And then ask how can god make us flood when the earth is round?

Hey guys, I was just thinking abt this whole AI x Metaverse concept n wanted to get your thoughts.

So here's what's been on my mind lately, with more and more projects starting to build AI capabilities in2 their metaverse platforms, do you think this fusion could end up being the "next big thing"?

Some people are already saying AI is going to be hugely disruptive on its own. But if you layer advanced AI systems into immersive virtual worlds and experiences, who knows how game-changing that could be?

Anyways, i saw this one project that's developing intelligent AI avatars n virtual assistants 4 the metaverse. Imagine having a smart AI companion that can understand you, learn your preferences, nd guide you thru these boundless digital realms.

What's your take on all this, fam? Do you envision the AI x Metaverse fusion catalyzing the next big boom in crypto and tech? Or am I just getting ahead of myself here?

Hmm. It's just now that I have heard of it but it's interesting if it's about being mined in Telegram. I don't know how much it impacts the market with that. I do hope that I have gotten early on it as well but it's just what happens in life.

It's not listed on Coingecko yet but maybe we can try to get around it or something? But I know it's a meme coin right?

I don’t think its a memecoin. It’s a token under the ton ecosystem
