See, I’m no fan of Bitcoin. It’s pure speculation and hardly serves a purpose while burning down a rainforest for every transaction. Also the ledger makes things traceable, so it’s also a worse concept than cash.
This, however, is a good example of why the concept exists. We need a financial tool outside of the control of banks.
(Yada yada Ethereum and proof of stake.)

Apparently it depends on the app or input field. The generated emoji is an image, not a unicode string, so the input must be able to accept inline images.
You can send them to yourself in Signal, for example, then download the image and post it here.

A democracy requires free elections, so no to both.
I don’t think the US is that far gone, though. Some states do care about the democratic process, as the graphic indicates. I don’t think the US has left flawed democracy territory yet, at least not everywhere.
The US’ democracy index is falling, but it’s still comparably high, between France and Italy.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I get you’re referring to a plutocracy. The question is if the US is so far gone that it’s out of flawed democracy territory - the lines are definitely blurred and I’d argue it depends on the state.
