I closed your website instantly as soon as it played a sound, it's pretty bad it does that. When I try to click on the whitepaper button, the click actually goes to the globe. I am…

I know for a fact that normal people use crypto in Venezuela, albeit through apps and Binance. Their currency is crap and USD was outlawed for a while. I got the info first hand re…

You get to call it stupid, you don't get to cut someone's water or electricity off because you think they have a stupid opinion. Same should go for having the ability to pay for st…

If sufficiently motivated, take pics with your phone. With a good camera, you could minify a lot of code into a tiny font size, take a photo or multiple photos, and OCR them later.…

I am not the best person to address everything point by point as I am not putting enough thought into it, but perhaps I could point (heh) you in the right direction. Sure you could…

Sorry if I assume too much, but I think you'd be thinking quite differently if you had to consider buying your first home on the French riviera now, on something like a 60.000-100.…
