El Salvador adopted both BTC and the U.S. dollar at the same time as national currencies. It's not a matter of BTC vs. SVC.
Edit: The person I'm replying to edited their comment instead of admitting they were wrong. Classy.
Oh noes! The villain wants to destroy everything the hero holds dear. Whatever will he do!
Despite government incentives to use Bitcoin, people distrust it because they know how volatile it is and 70% of the population thinks it's a scam.
Turns out even the Salvadoran poor are more financially savvy than tech bros.
Agreed, which is why I spoke about the chaos and uncertainty of travel. If you're traveling as part of an organized trip, whether it's business or a travel package to a resort, you're basically isolated from this aspect of travel.
I've traveled to 50 countries and lived in 7.
I don't think being well traveled is about distance or number of countries visited... For me, it's more about whether you've traveled independently and built some skills of adaptability and resilience to deal with new situations. That can happen with as little as one new foreign country.
For me, a well-traveled person is someone who can deal with all the stress, uncertainty, and chaos of travel. That can be as simple as ordering food in a language you don't speak, or deciphering an alphabet you're not familiar with to get on the right bus. Heck, it can happen in your own country, some times.
But once you've done something like that, the kind of travel skill you develop is pretty universal. Not to say no place in the world will ever throw you a curve ball, but once you accept not everything works like it does in your country and you learn to stay cool under pressure when nothing makes sense, you're well on your way to being able to thrive anywhere you go.
You can ask a refund for any Steam game after a few hours of play. Refund is full, no questions asked. I've done it multiple times with games that just didn't click for me.
Big G looking good. I'm in for a show where he's a peripheral presence. Hope the writing is solid.
Semiconductor manufacturing is a hell of a nut to crack. There was always a risk that China would eventually crack it, but I don't think anyone expected it to happen within a year of the ban.
"Blockchain" is a red flag.
While the technology in itself is not inherently bad, it has such a limited use case in real life, and has been associated with so many scam projects in the crypto sphere, that it's an immediate alarm bell about the seriousness of the project.
I'm bilingual and this absolutely baffles me. AI translation is not at the level of a human translator at all. It's inept at deducing context or at handling slang, regionalisms, or ambiguity.
I do translations routinely and I tried AI tools. It's such garbage for anything except basic stuff that I prefer to start from scratch.
