Solana is awesome in terms of tech, it does everything that ethereum can do but faster and cheaper. The problem is that the foundation has unlimited voting power and it’s unclear if that’s ever gonna change. So the protocol is decentralized but the economics are only decentralized if the foundation keeps listening to the community.
IMO the use cases are there, I can send Solana instantly and at ridiculously low fees around the globe. Let’s say I wanna wire 10k USD to Europe from anywhere else, if I go through my bank it’s insanely expensive and will take days if not weeks.
Another use case is that as long as I hold native token, they’re mine. If Trump declared me a political enemy and freezes my assets, well, he can’t freeze my XMR or SOL, so that’s another use case, protecting yourself against malicious governments.
Finally, as for XMR the use case is private internet money. With cash transactions becoming rarer this is super important.
So I think decentralization is the use case. But I’m worried that it’s never gonna happen because corpos are gonna take over

Yeah they all have depegged at some point I guess and Tether offloads the risk of the shitty Chinese bonds or whatever they’re investing in on you as a token holder.
Circle is SEC regulated which makes USDC a bit more trustworthy but if we have learnt anything from the banking crisis then that this is no guarantee. Plus they depegged to like 0.87 once I think.
My biggest issue with stables is actually that they all have asset freezing mechanisms built into their smart contracts which goes completely against the idea of decentralization.
I totally agree with you that they’re not a long term solution but they can be useful if you just use them to send / receive money vs actually keeping them in your wallet.

Yeah dude convert that shit as soon as you get it, don’t hold it. I’m not a fan but for receiving salary or processing payments in USD it does the job
- Comment on You have one job. 1 day ago:
Stablecoins already solve that. Not very trustworthy because they could in theory do the same but as a temporary solution should work.

According to Ancient Greek philosophers a tiny penis was a sign of huge intelligence and self control. Hence, people with small cars try to compensate for their huge penis.
Although one could also argue that it’s just easier to rape boys with a tiny penis. Okay I’m definitely very high.

It is possible to not serve in the IDF, in apartheid Israel Jewish citizens have similar options to evade military service as in most other democratic countries. It just closes the door to lucrative army or tech jobs as having served in the IDF is prestigious and serving in the right units can be a major career boost. Hence, if you have served in the IDF, you have served in a genocidal occupation army and it is very likely that you have been at least complicit in committing war crimes.

This is a fun story but I have to ask, what’s your definition of people if you say abortions don’t kill people? Couldn’t this guy have attacked you easily at that point?
I know nothing about debating or logics, so just wondering.
Glad you made him cry though
