Letters are totally white supremacy. There are many who can't read letters.
We should all draw pictures to communicate!

I mean, sure, people could simply learn English. Like, I speak four langues and am still learning more. Many children in Africa speak two or three languages naturally, just growing up. But I guess, that's waaaay to difficult for... for whom, really?
Well, duh!
Still today, there are Muslim countries where slavery is tolerated.
And historically, Muslim countries didn't just have Black slaves. An estimated 1 to 2 million Europeans were enslaved in northern Africa over 4 centuries.
Northern European seamen could buy "slave ensurance" when they were sailing through the Mediterranean. It would "buy them back" in case they got enslaved by Muslims.
No idea why that large part of history of slavery is never taked about anywhere.
There are groups of modern, progressive Muslims all over the world, who don't take take everything about their religion litterally. Just like modern Christians. We should do much more to support those groups and stop supporting the radicals.
Its underlaying tech is pretty good. Much faster that Bitcoin. Have not looked at it myself, this is just from a larger study I read about two years ago that compared tech of a number of coins. To everyone's surprise, Doge did pretty well.
Otoh, one thing I learned over the past years is that the tech of a coin doesn't seem to matter at all for its economic success or failure.
Yet the African Swine Flu is still called African Swine Flu.
I guess Biden isn't getting paid by African dictators.
Looking at their list of supported phones, I'd say "no".

Lucky me, because I lived there many years. But its not about mind control. Its about actual pysical control. If you are a large miner, the CCP knows about it. Even if you are a small miner, they likely know it. And if the CCP tells you to do X, you do it. You don't ask questions. There are no courts to complain to. There is no police to call. You don't follow, police will just come and take all your shit and throw you in jail for a decade or so. No trial needed. People have no idea what total power actually means.
but the CCP doesn't.
Well, that's not how China works. If its controlled by a mainland Chinese person, its controlled by the CCP.
There is no law in China. No "ownership". No rights or courts. And its gotten so much worse the past decade under Xi, and its going down ever more rapidly.
Sure it does. If you control >50% of the nodes, you can alter the blockchain freely. Add transactions, remove transactions, put all existing coins into your wallet. Anything.
Satoshi's take was that, if you control so much of the blockchain, you have no incentive to cheat, because it would cause the coin to lose all its values. And that would mean the cheater would lose the most.
But a government may have other incentives to cheat than just "taking all the coins".
Dems went completely insane before the election.
But people thought it was just for show, and after the election it would all calm down.
Now is "after the election", and Dems are just as crazy. People begin to realize that they actually got crazy radicals in government now.
