JP Morgan owns Etherium.
The clearest explanation of what the @SECGov considers “sufficient decentralization” you will ever hear.
Jay Clayton reaffirms his stance that something starts as a security can transform to be a non security… Unlike in the #Ripple case where the @SECGov all edges that #XRP itself is the security
#ETHGate
Ain’t it funny that Jay Clayton can speak about the #Coinbase and #Binance lawsuits but when asked about the #Ripple case he resorts to “I can’t comment on ongoing litigation”?
#Bitcoin already reached all-time highs against local currencies in Argentina, Venezuela, and Lebanon. This trend will slowly spread around the world as more people realize that fiat currencies are created out of thin air by governments that are stealing from their citizens.
Billionaire and legendary Wall Street fund manager Paul Tudor Jones says, “#Bitcoin is the only thing humans can’t adjust the supply in. I’m going to stick with it.”
“I’m going to always stick with #bitcoin”

Prighozin invented and owns the Internet Research AgencyPrighozin ran psychological operations from St. Petersburg through the Internet Research Agency (IRA) before, during and after the 2016 election.

My dad went to a federal prison for a bong, 9 months. What is a trump going to serve for his 1 million crimes against humanity? A pardon?

Spirit Lake School District (Iowa) was notified by its insurer that the company would not renew its liability insurance if the district allowed employees to carry guns on campus. After learning that there were no viable insurance alternatives, the board decided to repeal the policy this week to become eligible for policy renewal.
More guns = more risk
One of the next big challenges for school administrators everywhere is going to be maintaining liability insurance.
A mass shooting on campus causes billions of dollars in liability. Without meaningful action to prevent school shootings, insurers may decide schools are uninsurable. Inversely, taking reckless actions like arming teachers can increase risk causing insurance policies to be dropped.
As shooting victims at Michigan State file lawsuits relating to the failure of MSU to provide basic campus security, inaction is also not an option.

This evening, literal Nazis dared to show their true colors in East Cobb outside a synagogue, showcasing their hate for the whole world to see. Flying a flag that stands for genocide.
My God.

Mrs. Wunderle lives in the Fuggerei, a Roman Catholic housing settlement for the poor that Jakob Fugger “The Rich” built in this southern German city nearly 500 years ago. Praying for Mr. Fugger and his descendants to enter the Pearly Gates is a condition for living here, at an annual rent of 1 Rhein guilder, the same as in 1520. In today’s money, that’s 88 euro cents, or about $1.23.
