  • I highly doubt that Iran would attack the US directly - the most they would do is cyberwar

    the US has the military power to force Farsi to become a dead language, and I don’t think the Iranian government would want to mess with force that powerful like that

    I think what your seeing is probably a bunch of coincidences, there’s other explainations for that stuff you listed, like trump replacing govt workers with his own or wanting more deregulation for power plants.

    I wouldn’t worry too much of a threat like that from Iran.

    I’ve got a really good feeling that if sanders were president, and he was selling merchandise, using his position as POTUS to advertise for it, and said it was made in the us while its raw materials were made elsewhere, you’d be fine with that

    I’m no fan of trump, but this isn’t an overreach of power nearly as bad as you say it is. its not the job of there potus, but its also not harmful







  • What is the point of bitcoin if the value is directly tied to another currency?

    well this stuff isn’t Bitcoin, that’s a separate system entirely, and the point isn’t for these stablecoins to rise over time. the hope with them is that by using the dollars relative stability they can be used to conduct financial transactions that have a much more stable value than using something like Bitcoin

    for example the prediction-betting site Polymarket uses a stablecoin called USDC for its transactions, instaid of some other cryptocurrency

    its decentralized in a sense that it’s extremely difficult to reverse transacitons and that you can keep money in a wallet without people being able to take it from you, but the value of it is set by a single company so it’s isn’t really decentralized

    idk how to answer your second question
