But money's been around for hundreds of thousands of years. We've all seen the evil that comes from money: The rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer. It's a tale as old as time.
Folks are looking at Bitcoin and all those other digital coins as a way to change things, maybe. We live in hope, after all.
I do wonder, though... If Twitter/X hadn't been so controversial, would any of this have happened? Why isn't YouTube getting banned in Brazil? Or TikTok? I mean, TK is already banned across numerous regions and countries. Brazil is fine with it. It just doesn't like Twitter/X.
Twitter/X getting banned is hardly newsworthy. Banning VPNs (virtual private networks) and fining the people who use them is true censorship and an affront to Democracy.
Why? You see, you can determine that a person is using a VPN service, but you can't tell what website they're accessing. That's the whole point. So punishing a person just because they want to watch the Japanese version of Netflix is pure evil.

Yes, but the crypto industry is extremely volatile with zero laws and institutions to keep your assets safe. Also, and this is extremely terrifying, it's preyed upon by greedy CEOs like Sam Bankman-Fried who will take everything you've got because they have 💯 % access to everything you've got.
How you get over these hurdles? How do you invest safely? Most people know very little about crypto except that it's risky and scary.
