Do you have a source for that? I’ve seen local businesses like pizza shops and such accept btc.
Edit: the majority of crypto transactions are likely between exchanges, miners, and exchange customers. An example is the Blackrock BTC ETF buys and sells btc off an exchange in realtime in relation to the ETF purchases. I’m not saying no crime happens on the btc network but to claim 100% of transactions are crime based is just false.
Isn’t USD also linked to many of those? Gangs launder physical cash through businesses, ransomware can ask for credit cards or bank accounts, terrorists may take USD as it can be spent nearly anywhere.
I must be out of the loop, what is wrong with pepe aside from having strong links to 4chan?
I used to do the same when i was too poor to afford data on my phone or when i go through areas with poor service.
This requires foresight. Most people don’t plan on getting lost.
You track you direction throughout the day. My road runs east/west. If i leave my house and turn left, I’m going west, turn right im going east, I keep this in mind as often as I can.
I also know my general area pretty well and what direction each town/city is in relative to my home, which helps me find my direction if i lost it. I also like to remember which direction each major intersection goes as that helps me keep track as well.
It’s the saying i learned as a kid. I’d picture a compass and repeat the words.
Never Enter Stinky Washrooms
Even if you have to look at it first, once on it you can go by feel where as i find i struggle to do the same on a fully touch control.
Haptic feedback like knob clicks or button presses are much easier to use without taking eyes off the road as often.
I mean their profile pic is them outdoors on a paddle board, so first impressions is yea maybe you do know cardinal directions? Anyone who spends extended time outdoors should.
Soon, many of us won’t be able to afford to drive at all, it would be nice if we had other options
Bus lanes are too easy for the next politician to remove bus priority and allow cars back into the lane. At least with rails it’s a lot more costly to remove the route. Busses also still contribute to microplastics and tire waste compared to railed trams. Trams are also easier to automate which can make employing drivers and adding trams to lines less difficult compared to buses. The rails are also more effecient as there is less friction.
I’d defintely take BRT over no transit but many cities are dense enough to justify electrified trams.
Many cities paved over their tram lines. Sometimes they poke through during road work. We had trams in nearly every city 100 years ago yet today people tell me we can’t afford it or our population is too small to support it. If we could do it 100 years ago we could certainly do it now.
Going backwards while the rest of the world builds more functional and fair cities. We feel just as bad up here in Canada where our provincial premier is overstepping cities to force them to remove bike lanes that just got installed. The lanes are along a subway corridor and there are several apartment buildings planned on those roads that have extensive bicycle parking plans with much less car parking. And we’ve got big plans for new highways while we refuse to build rail along the densest part of our nation.
How many times will techbros reinvent the train/tram until North America finally starts laying down rails?
The way his supporters talk is like this, if it is something they like, they claim Trump singlehandedly did that thing. If it is something they don’t like, they claim the fucking government is holdng Trump back from his real goals.
Forget the strength, what is their frost resistance? Sports bra and underwear while a tree is nearly hidden in snow, what is this? Skyrim?
That isn’t adulting, that is an isekai anime
I’m pretty sure they just charge the local currency equivalent in BTC at the time of purchase.
