We live in interesting times, and news like this should make ALL political factions think that single-source databases like AWS will remain a danger to your business or application. My apps will take a harder look at which databases we use, and actively look to partner with BSV-databases in the future, and I'm quite appreciative that BitCoin is coming at the right time to deliver it's robust multi-Node solutions. Call that decentralization if you like, I"ll just call it safe business practice.

Why spending time shorting stocks is such a massive drain on your performance; try to find the peak of the Nasdaq on this chart, prior to the Real Estate & Banking collapse!

About 85 days in a row of BSV blocks > btc blocks. And this chart doesn't do it justice, as btc is the denominator in pretty much all cryptocurrency trading platforms; whereas, BSV has none of that action (but someday fiats-on-token solutions).

“There’s a commodity value to BitCoin WHEN IT’S USED CORRECTLY: 1. it is the value of putting information into the ledger. 2. It is the value of exchanging quickly.... It’s actually USE. As it’s used, a commodity has value”— CSW, @theoryofbitcoin -whitepaper He goes on to explain the equivalence of gold having USE (he mentions one of its smaller uses— as an ingredient to electronics). This explanation is the very basis of BSV’s value and arguably we will be able to value BitCoin in many

Gold derives it's value from the cost of work to get it out of the ground and refined. But why mine it at all? Because gold is used for certain things which will not be returned to the above-ground gold pool.

Token Panel quite useful. According to @ryanxcharles 's handy defining of "layers" of tokenization methodology... Layer 0 token: Tokens using satoshis (BSV tokens) themselves as tokens. Layer 1 token: Tokens which use BitCoin scripting language inside BSV tokens to implement the tokenization. Layer 2 token: Tokens OFF-chain. EDITORIAL COMMENT: My opinion? Tokens will be safest when attached to actual BSV tokens-- aka tokens should have a definitive "PAR" value associated with BSV tokens th

As for powpress, really want to use it particularly for the rich editing not found on other platforms atm. But I feel it needs a monetization strategy for authors. Medium has changed theirs a couple times, but still relies on "reads" and how they interpret reads (formerly claps but that got out of hand obviously bc the claps have no cost-- something BitCoin solves inherently).
