The collapse of multiple projects and the market crash made investors dubious of pouring their funds into the crypto-verse. While speculations of Bitcoin being dead begun surfacing, a major Bitcoin bull did not lose hope. El Salvador shocked the entire globe by accommodating BTC as a legal tender. Despite the asset’s plummet below $16K, El Salvador was looking to expand its holdings.

In a recent tweet, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele announced that the government would start purchasing one BTC every day.

Over the course of a 22-month study, a researcher has claimed that almost 2,000 “predatory users” on Twitch have targeted over 250,000 children and teens.

Miguel Gonzalez, 25, a former digital producer for the newspaper, said that he was having an “emotional tantrum” when he posted the fake calls for violence and other wild headlines on the morning of October 27.

China and Russia may be working toward a new gold-backed currency in a move that would aim to dethrone the dollar as the primary reserve currency of the world, but any such currency would unlikely achieve that goal. 

“Even if both countries use a new currency for bilateral trade transactions, the relatively small trade volume between will limit the impact on the U.S. dollar,” Min-Hua Chiang argued, noting that a multinational currency, like the Euro, requires “a level of political and economic coordination and integration that is not present in Asia today.”

In another foretaste of potential future ‘carbon allowance’ limits, a major bank in Australia has introduced a new feature that links purchases to a customer’s carbon footprint and warns them when they are going over the average.

While initially presented as a handy way for someone to track their consumption habits and the supposed impact they have on the environment, some fear that such schemes could one day become mandatory and place limits on purchases of customers who exceed their ‘carbon allowance.’

What has become abundantly clear over the last few years is that the systems that exist today need to be completely abandoned in favor of systems that make it impossible for the people who told you we needed “two weeks to flatten the curve,” and “Iraq is harboring weapons of mass destruction,” and “this vaccine is safe, effective and will prevent spread,” and “crack cocaine should be prosecuted differently than powdered cocaine,” (among many other falsehoods) to have control over any essential part of speech and the movement of money. In the realm of money — how people hold it, how they receive it and how they send it — Bitcoin is the new system that is being built to prevent the power structure from nudging us into a future built on self-censorship as a means of self-preservation.

As digital payments have become increasingly popular, many of the largest companies in this sector have used their dominant position to censor users, harvest their private financial data, and threaten them with huge fines if they violate vague and subjective rules.

Here are some alternative payment services that promote freedom, reject censorship, and/or have privacy-preserving features:

In what may end up being the inciting incident for a nonbinary version of Al Capone having his criminal empire taken down by simple tax evasion, The Flash star Ezra Miller has pleaded not guilty after being charged with felony burglary in relation to a Vermont home invasion allegedly committed by the actor earlier this year.

As of writing, the next scheduled hearing in the Vermont burglary case against the self-declared Messianic lover of a Native American spider goddess is currently set for January 13th, 2023.

While PayPal has walked back its threat to fine users $2,500 for “misinformation,” the payments company is still reserving the right to fine users the same amount for other alleged transgressions.

Igor Danchenko is the named defendant at this week’s trial, charged with lying as an informant in the now discredited Russia collusion investigation. But with probing questions and searing redirects, Special Counsel John Durham has turned the Russian researcher’s trial in the U.S. District courtroom in Alexandria, Va., into an expose of stunning FBI failures and omissions in its now-infamous pursuit of Donald Trump for crimes that turned out to be nonexistent.

The fans are winning against sucky woke entertainment. She-Hulk and Rings Of Power are blasted by both audiences and the media.
