Sau khi triển khai chiến lược tập trung vào BTC nhiều năm qua, mới đây, đồng sáng lập kiêm Chủ tịch điều hành MicroStrategy Michael Saylor đã tiết lộ giao thức MicroStrategy Orange Decentralized Identity mã nguồn mở trên mạng Bitcoin.

Sự kiện này có 2 giá trị: xác định việc Saylor ủng hộ Ordinals + MS trở thành công ty phát triển Bitcoin. Nó sẽ giúp cho cộng đồng tin tưởng hơn vào chiến thuật đầu tư vào BTC mà MS đã theo đuổi suốt 4 năm qua, đồng thời giúp Saylor dễ huy động thêm vốn để thu mua thêm BTC cho MS.

Đây là tin tích cực trong thị trường, khẳng định BTC vẫn là tài sản đang được khám phá, nhiều tính năng mới có thể được khai thác và sử dụng trong tương lai để mang lại nhiều giá trị hơn cho BTC.

Thank you for the warning
In fact, I have dozens, perhaps hundreds, of these garbage emails in my inbox. I always ignore them, but I am tired of their large number. Fortunately, they come to me on my secondary mail because I rarely share my primary mail on websites.

Don't you have an automatic emptying of the spam box after x days? I know that Gmail has that option, so if you don't move such e-mails from the spam folder in, say, 30 days, they are automatically deleted. But if a sender bothers you, simply mark it as spam and you will help yourself and others.

Therefore, in such situations - assets that are difficult to use and do not have high guaranteed liquidity and stable price are unlikely to become a substitute for stable currencies and gold.

and how are they spending the gold in the war torn region?

i know its not the same as the time of covid but during the time when we are locked down, all the people do was trading stuff from appliances and plants in exchange with food and cash still accepted which was still great though but most probably because the government still exist. it must be different if the government is not functioning anymore as warlords are the only that reigns in every city.

I understand your question and will give you 2 examples. One from slightly older times, the other from the current situation:
1. The city of Leningrad, which was blockaded during WWII (reasons - this is a topic for another discussion), and the Soviet government supplied almost no food there. Money as a unit of valuation lost its meaning there, and in the most difficult times people simply exchanged, for example, gold jewelry for bread.
2. The situation in Ukraine is somewhat different. For example, in the temporarily occupied territories, people can sell gold for stable currency (dollars), for which they can buy everything. Occupants are happy to sell any goods for dollars.
Gold can also be exchanged for the occupation currency (rubles) and also buy a significant part of goods for this pseudo-currency. However, it cannot be used anywhere else. Gold can simply be exchanged for goods and services. For example, to try to leave the occupied territory. But with cryptocurrencies everything is more complicated - due to the absence of the Internet on these territories (as well as other usual services of the developed world), or its total control and isolation, just like in North Korea.
That is why gold/stable currencies are more convenient means for survival in this situation

বাংলাদেশ আমাদের ফেভারিট প্রতিপক্ষ জিম্বাবুয়েকে সামনে পেয়ে আবারে জ্বলে ওঠেছিলো। সত্যি বলতে আমি জানতাম ই না জিম্বাবুয়ে বাংলাদেশে কবে আসছে, আর খেলা কবে শুরু হবে। ক্রিকেট নিয়ে তেমন কোনো আলোচনা দেখছি না কোথাও। আগে বাংলাদেশের খেলা হলে সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ায় পোষ্ট দেখতাম। কিন্তু এখন সোশ্যাল মিডিয়াতেও কোনো পোষ্ট দেখছি না। সুতরাং বুঝাই যাচ্ছে যে মানুষ খেলার প্রতি আগ্রহ হারিয়ে ফেলেছে।

যাই হোক। আমি খেলা দেখিনি। তবে স্কোর কার্ড দেখে মনে হচ্ছে বাংলাদেশ দাপুটে জয় পেয়েছে। ২০ ওভারে ১২০ রানে অল আউট করে দিয়ে ৮ উইকেটের জয় পেয়েছে। আর বাংলাদেশকে খেলতে হয়েছে ১৬ তম ওভার। আমাদের লিটন ডাক আবারো ১ রান করেছেন। ওনার পারফরমেন্স কন্টিনিউ করেছেন।

My guess is that the Government will intervene when job losses increases at an alarming rate. Why? Because by then, tax collections from the middle class (working class) will drop significantly and they will be forced to provide aid to millions of jobless citizens. Imagine no new money but with added expenditure. Governments don't want things like that to happen.

You have very correctly pointed out one nuance that everyone forgets about when talking about "AI will take over the world and take away people's jobs" or "technology will leave the world without jobs".
First and foremost, AI, in the full-fledged form of Artificial Intelligence, does not exist today. This means that AI will not be able to set a goal of enslaving "primitive bio-organisms like humans"
Second, no less important - a fully technogenic world (when people as a labor force will not be needed) will lead to the extinction of the human species.
Thirdly, power is POWER over people, with the reduction of humanity, power will lose its "attractiveness" and its "advantages".
Like what you said - a drastic reduction of the middle class is a disaster for the state. That means :
- lower consumption (= slower idegradation of the economy)
- lower tax revenues
- increased social burden on the budget

But there is a nuance here - this is a problem for developed countries. In totalitarian and similar countries, the government just needs a silent mass, whose interest in life will be only the question of getting food to survive. And this is not the middle class, it is the lumpenized majority.

So that's what you're describing:
- is really important.
- but it's only important in a developed community.
