Who is this beggar here?

Hey #Moni Maker 🛴

Today, in 1999, the world carnival against capitalism took place, timed to coincide with the 25th G8 summit in Cologne. Yes, capitalism has its costs: the rich get richer, the poor get poorer; lack of social lifts and other unpleasant things. But we all know that Bitcoin fixes it.

But Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can literally take away everything from someone. The digest will tell you!

Software antivirus pioneer John McAfee has told his one million Twitter followers that his entire crypto fortune is gone — although he concedes not everyone will believe he’s telling the truth.

The McAfee antivirus founder has been behind bars in Spain since October 2020 — when he was arrested for tax evasion — but that hasn’t stopped him from posting on Twitter on a near-daily basis.

The 76-year-old tweeted earlier today that “I have nothing. Yet, I regret nothing,” and noted that:

“The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association.”

So what?

McAfee. Nobody knows how to relate, but it's very interesting to watch.

Even if the master “I will eat my dick” is disingenuous, the story is not pleasant. But instructive.

Jesse drew attention to Elon Musk's statements and advised him to study in more detail how BTC mining works, since this asset is much more environmentally friendly than people think.

Musk has recently begun to criticize the high power consumption required for mining BTC, and numerous debates on Twitter have not changed his mind.

So what?

Learning something new is very difficult. Especially when you are hampered by a lack of time, psychological disorders and a desire to receive funding from the US state budget ...

The largest automaker Porsche has announced the launch of an NFT trading platform called Fanzone.

The platform will allow fans to swap cards from their favorite sports. NFTs should help maintain verifiable card ownership.

So what?

Ah, speculation! You are life!

The World Bank said on Wednesday it could not assist El Salvador's bitcoin implementation given environmental and transparency drawbacks.

"We are committed to helping El Salvador in numerous ways including for currency transparency and regulatory processes," said a World Bank spokesperson via email.

"While the government did approach us for assistance on bitcoin, this is not something the World Bank can support given the environmental and transparency shortcomings."

So what?

Are such primitive creatures sitting in these high offices? Transparency, regulatory processes ... do they work according to the guidelines from the USSR?

Oh, yes…
