Recently captured so eloquently in the manifesto from Andor:
There will be times when the struggle seems
impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy
Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts
of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no
idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.
Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires
constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.
Oppression is the mask of fear.
Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires's
authority and then there will be one too many.
Thanks for introducing a new (to me) term, i.e BANANAS. Upon searching i discovered a few others:
NIABY: Opposition to certain developments as inappropriate anywhere in the world is characterised by the acronym NIABY ("Not In Anyone's Backyard"). The building of nuclear power plants, for example, is often subject to NIABY concerns.
NAMBI: ("Not Against My Business or Industry") is used as a label for any business concern that expresses umbrage with actions or policy that threaten that business, whereby they are believed to be complaining about the principle of the action or policy only for their interests alone and not for all similar business concerns who would equally suffer from the actions or policies.
BANANA: is an acronym for "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything" (or "Anyone").The term is most often used to criticize the ongoing opposition of certain advocacy groups to land development. The apparent opposition of some activists to every instance of proposed development suggests that they seek a complete absence of new growth.
NOPE: (Not On Planet Earth)To leave an uncomfortable situation, usually quickly.
LULU: Locally Unwanted/Undesirable Land Use planning.
NOTE: Not Over There Either (meaning is same NIMBY)
The Rarible exchange contract supports all kinds of external royalty interfaces, among them two that Rarible defined themselves, being an early player in the NFT space:
ERC721, 1155 & 2981 together act as a toolkit for the encoding of royalty administration.
For example, if an NFT collection owner only implemented one of Rarible’s royalty distribution schemes mentioned above, another marketplace that’s not aware of that interface can simply call the common registry’s getRoyaltyView function. It tries to query all known royalty interfaces on the token contract and translates any response to a commonly useable result.
Collection owners who haven’t put any royalty signaling scheme into their contract can deploy an extended “override” contract and register it with the common registry. This registration method will ensure that only collection owners (identified by the owner public member) can call it

The interface also completely works off-chain, so marketplaces that trade assets on alternative infrastructure can still query the creator fee without knowing anything else besides the interface signature of the EIP-2981 method.
PaymentSplitters: Sending NFT Royalties To More Than One Receiver.
Open Zeppelin's PaymentSplitter primitive allows setting up individual split contracts that keep funds safe until their payees claim them, and their receive function requires the bare minimum of gas to run. NFT collection builders can create an inline PaymentSplitter containing the wanted list of beneficiaries and their respective share amounts and let their EIP-2981 implementation yield the address of that split contract.
When i come to the page and let my eyes naturally scan through, the phrase Dead Simple sticks out, which is probably not a great catch phrase for this app. It'd be cool if instead, a GIF showing the user experience led me right into trying it out with the "enter address here" section.
There have been massive advancements in the use of various options, futures and other structured
products specifically designed to
increase optionality for Bitcoin miners to weather bear markets without closing up shop.
This is definitely a proving ground and
only those mining operations with the
most resilient strategies will survive.
Many will continue to thrive.
The future outlook on the crypto
markets enters a new era towards the
end of this year.
Fidelity is introducing cryptocurrency
investment services to all of its 401K
investors, every company 401k, across
the $2.4 trillion in 401(k) assets they
represent (in 2020, or more than a third
of the market at the time).
They will allow individuals to allocate up to 20%
of their portfolio to cryptocurrency, for those who participate.
And you've brought me back to a childhood memory of my older brother, age 13 with a big smile on his face, brought me into the closet where he had a portable cassette player and a newly acquired copy of Raw, and we listened to it and had our vocabulary suddenly expanded to a new level.
