I buy it on a need-to-get basis. Basically I use whatever exchange payment service the provider supplies me with, use a one-time use card to pay for the exchange, and done. I don’t have a wallet.

I’ve never paid attention to that, and at those prices, while keeping more stuff from mining data, it’s a steal.

I’m trying to convince my wife and other company partners to accept bitcoin and Monero for our buainess, but they are completely against that. Turning Normies while also keeping them clear on what is actually worth it is insane hard, people at just naturally too inclined to their “normal”.

I actually use it, but for stuff I order overseas and some services.

Yeah, I think there’s some good crypto out there. It’s just that it’s not a thing in my country. And that worldcoin seems scammy as hell, plus they are expecting people to provide biometrics for it, hell no!

I live in Dominican Republic, and have never heard of this here. I guess being outside of the regular social networks and mainstream services does keep some of us away from some news. Time to do some digging into this.

Edit (update): So, basically they were operating in commercial malls without any permits and they are not even registered in the country. While you can own cryptocurrency, it’s impossible to use as payment method or to exchange for actual money unless it’s done with some shady crypto exchange. People were given the equivalent to US$100 in exchange for scanning their iris. And, of course, there’s always people that would sell their soul to the devil for way less than that, so you can imagine how great it went for them.

OpenSUSE is hardly what I would consider noob friendly, but it certainly beats remaining under Microsoft’s oppressing thumb.

You’re almost there in down votes. Good job 🤣
