If we increase our birthrates Muslims can be assured to be 10% of Britain and 20% of France (population) in 2050 despite any policy changes in immigration. We are not the Zionist lobby our strength is not in our ability to influence politicians our strength is in our numbers.

Coinbase, a publicly traded business in the US, seems to have pulled off the impossible — they built a blockchain that is being widely adopted although they were under intense regulatory scrutiny.

Ethereum is game-changing, literally. It creates an environment to warp games from the realm of non-cooperative game theory into cooperative game theory, acting as an external enforcer of agreements between players.

The last couple of days have shown unprecedented community involvement from all parts of the Polygon ecosystem and beyond. It’s a great testament to the resilience and implicit checks and balances that social consensus provides.

Once again, if USDC implodes, then that will simply be a chance to teach people about the mechanism used by Rai to withstand shocks to the collateral base. Everyone will see that, in fact, the currently deployed comtracts Maker were designed to enable it for *exactly that

I see an even more bullish scenario unfolding: 1) As rewards and slashing mechanisms are implemented, AVSs will evolve into distinct tiers, making restaking more modular and granular. 2) The current standard is delegating assets into a single LRT, but what if you could delegate
