I have no idea. I'm rocking a Dell Latitude from like 2014 with an Intel Core i3 something.

Nope, but they will support Linux. All the users who do not want Windows 11, AI spying on them, or don't want to buy new hardware, will be going to Linux. So thank you in advance Microsoft, we appreciate it.

Yes, but how do they interact with their local currency? Do they hold it in their hands? No, they don't. It's all numbers on a screen.

Thank you. I'm glad you pointed out my mistake. That 25% is world use of crypto, not just US.

I use subscribed new and then when I'm done with that I will go to all and go top last 12 hours

Thx

Mind crossposting this too !t_mobile@lemmy.ml?

The big problem is that people are thinking in the wrong monetary units. While you're getting paid in a constantly depreciating fiat currency, gold has been perfectly stable, and one ounce of gold still equals one ounce of gold. And so the crazy people in Washington can't inflate it away.

The big difference, though, is that if a crypto exchange says that there's more crypto than exists, they have to make good on that promise. Or they, you know, go bankrupt because they don't actually have the money they say they have. Where would they government? That's not the case. There are only 21 million Bitcoin available. If a crypto exchange tries to make it sound like there are more than that, then people will pull their money off of that exchange and then exchange will go bankrupt because they can't produce the money.Also, real crypto people don't rely on centralized exchanges anyway. They either trade peer to peer or use decentralized exchanges that can't be manipulated like that.

Mind telling me what most people use on a daily basis because numbers on the screen seems pretty common.

I don't know of any laws specifically against them accepting it, but I think it's probably demand-based because only about one-fourth to one-fifth of US citizens use crypto currently. I think that number will grow over the years.

Seriously, you just had to throw that pun in there. LOL.

Yeah, I'm not in it for those get rich quick reasons and I despise people who are. I am in it for the tech and the potential to increase human freedom around the world.

Oh, sorry. I was using voice dictation to type that and it put a period in the wrong place. That is not the beginning of a nuisance. I was intending to say that they flock to open source software the minute that a billionaire buys the thing they were using because they realize that a billionaire can't buy open source software.

Oh, I know. And for pointing that out, you will get downvoted as well.

Admittedly, I have very little actual information on their situation, and it's more just hearsay. So if you've met them, then you would have more information than I do.

At least from what I understand, Cuba.

Well, if the average intelligence level I see around me... They might not know a chicken is edible. LOL. However, only more serious note. It doesn't seem like it all goes down at once. I mean, people in Venezuela have issues for sure, but they just take their money as soon as they get it and put it into something else that will retain their value. So we won't go from an ordered stable society to Mad Max where everybody's stealing chickens from preppers in one day. It would take years to get there.
