> How does NativeSwap work?

> NativeSwap currently operates using Thorchain and Mayachain protocols for cross-chain functionality. When you initiate a swap, you send your assets to a secure vault managed by these protocols. Assets are then exchanged directly for the native assets on the destination chain and sent to your address, all without the need for wrapped tokens or centralized bridges. This ensures a seamless, decentralized trading experience with complete control over your assets.

So it's just a wrapper around thorchain and mayachain? Why can't I use thorchain directly if I want to?

The vocabulary you speak/write every day is a box.

Your brain is a box.

Your body is a box.

Why is that? If you invest in a company, you steal worker wages.

Maybe you are right and I should have used "already existing" instead of "standard".

I'm also curious how a convenience store is called in other francophone areas of the world.

"tabac" feels too restrictive, "Épicerie" feels more like selling fruits/vegetables, "commerce de proximité" feels like it could include things like a supermarket too.

I can think of more unsavory/xenophobic/slang terms for it, but droguerie seems more appropriate.

And on the other end for someone who never been to Québec, "Je vais au dépanneur" sounds like "I'm going to the mechanics (to fix my car)". Very creative.

Québec people are so creative with the French language, love it.

Why not use the standard French word for it "droguerie"? Dépanneur or Couche-tard does have a lot more charm to it though, agreed.

Americans re-discovering convenience stores before they all got transformed into 7-Eleven due to big corporations. How cute.

Before Amazon existed there was a thing called "Librairies" too.

Came here to say this. I'm quite curious to know what the author means by "digital Nixon Shock".

If hard digital assets (i.e. assets the US have limited control over like BTC, ETH, etc) gets shocked by a liquidity shortage it should on the contrary kill more of the USD dominance, which will shock more hard assets, which will kill more of the USD dominance... a feedback loop leading to the obliteration of the USD hegemon.

Your thesis is 10+ year old: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/speculative-attack/

Always good to find back well known results by first principles!

Ignoring the half baked truths about Austrian economics (I'm not a fan of Austrian economics, but at least try to have valid criticism about them).

> Bitcoin has debasement, it's called altcoins and hard forks.

> The way you debase Bitcoin is by inventing new kinds of Bitcoin

Good article. I'd say the broader points here are:

- the old adage "don't roll out your own cryptography" (even if you're one of the biggest conglomerate in one of the world's wealthiest country).

- not a single person I know use this secret chat feature - it's sadly still quite rare in Korea to meet a privacy minded person even (especially?) in tech-focused groups, people use Telegram (which might be worst)

Depends of your use. For example, a local fedivers instance can fit a lot of cases not targeted at mass consumption.

> I suspect that like starting to drink young had bad average outcomes

That's a good analogy. In my experience, most alcoholics/gamblers/dangerous substance abusers never had parents which taught them how to deal with a given addiction - they just brush off the subject strictly forbidding their kids to do any of them.

A piano which has keys ordered in a certain order influences any creation process.

Nobody exists in a vacuum, we're all consumers of the culture which surrounds us. I think you're confusing consumption and mass consumption.

> You can just... not do it.

Sure you can keep your kids away in a farm away from any human interactions too. Or in a basement if you live in a city.

> it's innate

Playing guitar is innate to your 3 year old daughter? Hope one day I'll listen to her album with chords & rhythms no one has ever heard before! /s

> We’re all a part of this brave new world.

And instead of teaching your kids to live in this world you're trying to create a world for them which does not exist anymore.

> distinction between consumption and creation

You can not become a creator if you are not a consumer first.

> Kids are not responsible enough to care about the difference or think about the long term impacts.

That's where your role as a parent comes in handy - teach them with the best of your abilities, don't give up on them.

They are not preventing their kids from drinking from lead pipes, they are preventing their kids from drinking at all.

Using your kids as a social experiment to sell your blog posts while preventing them to access any online content seems quite narcissistic to me.

Came here to say this, would not surprise me to have the children post on r/raisedbynarcissists as soon as they turn 18.
