This time we have no choice. We either invest this money to defend our democracy or we have no democracy anymore.

Europe -or any continent or country- is able to introduce a higher degree of direct democracy and participation if there is political will. The technology has long been there, see, for example, here: https://democracy-technologies.org/.
Proprio oggi ho letto un articolo su Dimon e Trump. Lo posto eccezionalmente in inglese (versione originale), anche perché è ... beh, strano?
Host raises Trump 'cognitive decline' after ex-president forgets talk he had weeks prior
Trump spoke with Bloomberg earlier this month [July} and agreed that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon could be a potential candidate for the position.
"Let me just say one thing first," Trump began. "So, I had a meeting with them. First, I had a meeting with Congress, Republican Congress. It was like a lovefest. Then, I met with them and the US Senate, which was all Republicans, 49. And it was also a lovefest, but my best meeting of the three (sic) was with the executives. And Biden’s misinformation — people put out a thing: Oh, he went on, he rambled. There was no rambling. This, you could say, this is rambling, but in order to get to the point, you have to, you know, this is a very complex subject, that a lot of people, most people don’t understand. But I just wanted to say, that that was the best meeting. They loved it. They were happy with."
The rambling comments continued [...]
The reporter at Bloomberg asked the question again whether Dimon would be a candidate for Treasury Secretary.
"He is somebody that I would consider, sure," Trump said.
[...]
In a post on Truth Social this week, Trump denied he commented.
"I don’t know who said it, or where it came from, perhaps the Radical Left, but I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury,” Trump said. Fink is the CEO of the BlackRock investment firm.
Sono pienamente d'accordo con l'idea che le 'stabelcoin' non hanno alcuna funzione chiaramente utile. Non ho mai capito a cosa servano queste forme di denaro.
Ma tutte queste 'Trump coin' non sono affatto criptovalute. Si tratta di sistemi altamente centralizzati che non hanno nulla a che fare con l'idea di blockchain. Quale meccanismo di consenso impiegano? Quale rete utilizzano? Per quanto ne so, tutto questo rimane nell'oscurità.
Quindi, con tutto il rispetto, non sono d'accordo con l'idea di “chiamare le criptovalute con il loro vero nome”.
Ritengo che le monete complementari (non necessariamente in esecuzione su una blockchain, anche se sembra essere una tecnologia utile per questo) possa risolvere molti problemi se lo usiamo come mezzo di pagamento piuttosto che come mezzo di investimento.
Dipende da come noi umani la usiamo. La tecnologia o il denaro non possono mai essere “criminali”. Come dico sempre: Non è l'arma a commettere il crimine, ma la persona che preme il grilletto.
