A "super lab" that used "cartel" processes was discovered in Canada a few months ago with almost 100 million[0] lethal doses of Fentanyl. It was only 11 miles from the border. The group was linked to a Khalistani transnational crime network; the same group of people (Punjabis) have also taken over our trucking industry[1]. Our border is the longest undefended border in the world and Canada is now taking in more than 1.5 million people per year[2], not including the 5 million on 'temporary permits'[3], mostly from India and China[4] and mostly un-vetted[5]. They get H2B visas with their Canadian passports and can travel across the border with ease. 1 billion doses worth of precursor chemicals were found in the port of Vancouver over a period of just 3 months last year[6], all coming from China. Halting immigration and shutting off the precursor chemical supply from China via the port Vancouver is all my clown show of government had to do to avoid this trade war. Stopping the flow of these brutal new drugs will do more to save both our economies than any amount of 'USA owned' tar sand ever could.
Yeah, but you would probably listen to a Neurologist about your lack of a foot problem if 99 out of 100 podiatrists told you 20 years ago that your perfectly healthy foot would fall off in 10 years if you didn't stop driving your car or you didn't pay them the money every day for the rest of your life.
I believe they are planning on creating a holding company whose only business function is holding private Tesla stock. This makes it easy to crate a prospectus so that non-accredited investors can participate.
You’d just need an extended public key that gives unique addresses to buyers and a price API to provide rate conversions. Your private key can be offline or on a hard wallet. Also see btcpayserver for an open source bitpay clone that does what you are thinking and more
Yes, bitcoin transactions are 'known' and are represented by a unique hash; however, It's impossible to 'reject' an incoming bitcoin transaction. Miners can implement custom software that can exclude blacklisted transactions from their list of mineable transactions, but requiring all miners to blacklist an address or transaction would require a hard fork.
The risk/rate of inflation in cryptos is determined by the market's appetite for the fork/alt. Along with the even distribution of inflation (in the case of forks) vs the traditional "trickled-down" inflation makes it very different in practice.
The banking system can expand an initial deposit of $100 into a maximum of $1,000 at a 10% reserve ratio when subsequent loans are re-deposited. ($100+$90+81+$72.90+...=$1,000). This all gets counted as M1 money.
Yes, the total supply of funds in circulation is increased by making it circulate; however, this question was about solvency. We're not expecting Tether to hold 800m in liquid reserves, but we definitely are requiring Tether to have 800m in assets (as they claim to do) and to demonstrate that it really is so.
The claims others have on you must be balanced by claims you have on others, otherwise you're defrauding your depositors; and if you want to accept money from the public, your words can't be taken at face value but need to be verified (and publicly supported) by trusted, independent external auditors.
