    Blockchain transactions are definitely much less efficient than a centralized ledger, still i think its a current necessity because the current centralized ledger is compromised in the hands of the US and its dogs. They have made it clear that they will steal anyone financial assets if they oppose them, so it makes sense to have a decentralized system.

    I think the world has to go through this decentralized stage in order to reach a centralized stage if that makes sense.

    And in the bottom line it could prove more efficient than the current centralized system, since the US wont be able to use the funds of the world to kill and destroy the opposition.

    I subscribe to this theory mainly because he was treated like a terrorist by getting kicked out by security but something left out is that he wasnt doing a great job as a head coach.

    Green lacewings (Chrysopidae)

    Several species of green lacewings commonly are found on trees and shrubs. The adult stage is a pale green insect with large, clear, highly-veined wings that are held over the body when at rest. They are delicate and very attractive insects that primarily feed on nectar. The females lay a distinctive stalked egg, approximately one half inch in height. They may be laid in small groups or singly on leaves of plants throughout the yard. Lacewing larvae emerge from the egg in about a week. These larvae, sometimes called aphid lions, are voracious predators capable of feeding on small caterpillars and beetles as well as aphids and other insects. In general shape and size, lacewing larvae are superficially similar to lady beetle larvae. However, immature lacewings usually are light brown and have a large pair of viciously hooked jaws projecting from the front of the head. Whereas lady beetles often are limited to smaller insects such as aphids, the green lacewings are capable hunters that can easily kill insects larger than themselves. Several generations of lacewings occur during the summer, and a green-brown cold tolerant species can be found late into fall. Source: (https://wiki.bugwood.org/HPIPM:Chrysopidae) In agriculture, these insects are commonly used as biological pest control against aphid pests. Bonus picture, this is how they lay their eggs: ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmygrad.ml%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fabdccf7f-a728-4a81-946e-16fcfe428f79.jpeg)

    https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/05/why-are-argentinas-highest-denomination-cash-bills-being-printed-by-a-chinese-state-owned-company.html

    Turns out Argentina and many more countries rely on Chinese companies even to produce bills 😅 >Some governments have asked Beijing not to publicise the deal because they are worried such information could compromise national security or trigger “unnecessary debates at home”, the person said. They even know it's shameful lmao. I wonder how many more "invisible" industries China dominates, i always assumed that central banks had the monopoly on producing their own physical currencies but turns out i was wrong.

    This situation shows that the US does not have the economic power it used to have, Russian sanctions over banana imports were enough to sway Ecuador away from the arms deal. Overall it's a pretty funny situation where both Ecuador and the US look very silly.

    Interesting in-depth read on stock buybacks and the main perpetrators (Apple is #1 of course). Stock buybacks are corporate corruption, where senior executives cash in the profits of the company by getting paid in stocks and then colluding to use the company profits to buy stocks (thus artificially inflating the value of stocks) and then dumping them. Literally a pump and dump scheme. When someone mentions that there is no corruption in the private sector, send them this article.
