lol yes the reason women earn less money is their feeble soft bodies are ruined by pregnancy, not the fact that childcare is more work than a full time job

how babby is formed in the hyperbitcoinisation future:
when a man and a woman feel that it would be economically fortuitous to create a new life the man will transfer reproduction tokens in to the human female's wallet and 1-2 months later a mechawomb human baby will be deposited at their house by a friendly stork shaped decommissioned military grade murder drone

The womb refused to open. It said, “Five satoshis, please.”

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the womb. Again he tried, again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the womb said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this NFT.”

Do these mixers even work anymore? I thought there were half a dozen companies that claimed to be able to track coins going through them and a whole bunch of darknet market vendors ended up with evidence of "mixed" coins appearing in the criminal case.

There are three major laundering entities that really do work to confound the amount of money going in any amount of money coming out on a long timeline, they work at great scale, and they charge well.

I can't find the video now, but one of the video essay people I follow did a "review" of the Ariana Grande "Concert" in Fortnite. All other aspects of the game, it's business model, and how good or bad it is aside the end result was a very engaging experience apparently. You can find videos of the event on youtube easily now.

You had to interact with the other virtual attendees by reviving them at the start, and the rest of the songs led you and them through thematic "music videos" where you were the characters acting along to the music. There weren't any fail states so you got to see everything the show had to offer, but taken on it's own it was supposed to have been a pretty interesting concept for a shared experience compared to a real world concert.

That kind of thing is what every single on of these "metaverse" start ups is promising, but in reality you get...that thing. It's the reality of "ideas men" being given freedom and tools and told to create. It's so easy to imagine things, but making them come to life is loving hard as hell, so you just download a video player, slap some props around and live stream some tunes with nothing else to do.

Second life, VR and games in general have a big attraction of being able to escape reality with whatever craziness you can get away with.

I've never wanted escape reality to a loving meeting, that's for sure.

quote:

Opera has launched its Web3 "Crypto Browser" into beta with features like a built-in crypto wallet, easy access to cryptocurrency/NFT exchanges, support for decentralized apps (dApps) and more. The aim is to "simplify the Web3 user experience that is often bewildering for mainstream users," Opera EVP Jorgen Arnensen said in statement.

A key feature is the built-in non-custodial wallet that will support blockchains including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Celo and Nervos from the get-go. It also announced partnerships with Polygon and others. The idea is to let you access your crypto without the need for any extensions, with the option of using third-party wallets as well. You can purchase cryptocurrencies via a fiat to crypto on-ramp, swap crypto directly in-wallet, send and receive it and check your wallet balance. It even has a secure clipboard that ensures other apps can't data when you copy/paste.

The other primary function is support for Web3, aka blockchain-based decentralized internet, aka the buzzy new thing among crypto enthusiasts (and skeptics). On top of providing extra security via blockchain encryption, it allows users to access things like GameFi "where you can earn as you play your way through all sorts of metaverses," Opera notes. It also offers a "Crypto Corner" with the latest blockchain news that also "lets you grow your Web3 skills," according to Opera.
