POSTS CGI RENDERING OF BALLS
"see it's not the moon"
Trump tanked stocks, causing people to panic sell
tell me you don't understand how stock prices are determined without telling me
So I'll tell you.
Stockholder A says "I will sell you STK for $x"

Coal Production
~0.2–0.5 kg aluminum particulates per tonne of coal burned.
Globally, approximately 8.3 billion tonnes of coal were burned in 2022.
1.660bn kg - 4.15bn kg of aluminum particulates
Aluminum Production
The global production of primary aluminum in 2023 was approximately 70 million tonnes.
That's 7-28 million kg of aluminum put into the atmosphere annually.
1 Starlink satellite weighs 800kg
As of March 28, 2025, there are 7,135 Starlink satellites in orbit.
that's 5.7million kg of satellites total in orbit
they have a 5 year expected lifetime
so if they were solid aluminum they would contribute up to ~1.2million kg of aluminum
less then 0.1% of aluminium entering the atmosphere from Starlink
No, I just gave them as examples as an alternative to your ISP which is what you were talking about.
I would suggest it is a suitable alternative especially for non-US residents who live in regimes with DNS level blocking at the ISP such as the UK.
well while that's true for the default setup one can use a number of methods to avoid this
-
run your own dns resolver and only query the tld root servers
-
use DNS over HTTPS from providers like Cloudflare
-
use DNS via TLS from providers like Cloudflare
-
Use a VPN provider for your DNS queries e.g. ProtonVPN DNS
-
Use Tor
-
Use Tailscale
-
Use a VPN provider
As you know blockchain is not anonymous, every transaction is traced and present forever.
When you wallet is tied to you, not only your transactions but who you transacted with.
CBDC is the totalitarian dream. "No, you can't transact with that wallet"
The moon is CGI?
