I didn't think his post was irrelevant in regards to BTC and a lame duck congress.

Reason #2 why NFTs are bullshit, faggots are looking to monetize literally every aspect of digital life.

Its truly amazing how the people who are buying into this shit whole hog are screaming about fighting the man, decentralization, freedom etc. when the block chain will make them digital slaves.

I'm finally jumping into the NFT game, but only bc I have friends behind a project and are hand-holding getting me in early.

I don't even believe in NFT's! This isn't gambling... I guess it's just solidarity'ing friends?

Good read here about the history of Tether and how they got where they are. I've read bits and pieces of this in different places but this is the best coherent overview I've seen that would be the counter to the Tether FUD. May not change your opinion, but worth knowing both sides of the argument if you're one of the folks here that have an opinion.

Bitcoin, Tether And Poking The Financial Beast

Tether has long been viewed as a problem by certain organizations as it enables bitcoin businesses to operate beyond the rails of banking.

TL DR - Regulators pushed Tether into the position they're in regarding backing for the stablecoins. Banking relationships are constantly being pulled out from under them due to US regulatory pressure

Watched this today and figured it was worth a share since we were talking about CBDC's and a financial reset / digital ID's. Mark Moss does a really good job of breaking down how I see this playing out and where Bitcoin fits in

Solana Pay ushers in new payments era

Introducing Solana Pay, the building blocks for a decentralized, open, P2P payments protocol.
solana.com

The core premise behind Solana Pay is that the payment and underlying technology goes from being a necessary service utility to true peer-to-peer communication channel between the merchant and consumer.

The protocol provides a specification that allows the consumer to send digital dollar currencies, such as USDC, from their wallet directly into the merchant’s account, settling immediately with costs measured in fractions of a penny. This embeds loyalty, offers and rewards in the same messaging scheme and become true building blocks for the future of commerce.

Merchants have long sought an opportunity to leverage deep engagement with their customers, but multiple intermediaries involved in e-commerce or brick-and-mortar transactions makes that difficult. The next phase of development of the protocol will enable merchants to send digital assets back to the consumers which will open up new capabilities in commerce not possible before.

Not sure this means anything. Sounds annoying to get spammed from the blockchain. And not sure what exactly is part of "a new future of payments".
