A nicely told story of how the P2P decentralized blockchain-based crypto market become a centralised (but unregulated) off-block-chain market.

Warch this stunning video. A reminder that while we are watching #Eurovision war is happening around the corner from the EU. And the aggression is being paid with our money. We need to make the oil and gas imports from Russia stop.
You don't pay in Euros for Russian oil and gas
No pagas en euros la gasolina y el gas ruso
@SrTrastamara Vacunarse para parar una epidemia=ciencia
Desinfectar el suelo de una pista de aterrizaje para parar un virus aerosolizado= no ciencia

@MacroAlf @Maroon_Macro @Blockworks_ Bizarre way to link. Feels like one of those rubbish bait and switch tv sales channels.
What a fascinating thread summarizing the arguments of @cblatts new book. So much looking forward to reading "Why we fight"
RT @cblatts: Why did America stay in Afghanistan 20 years? Everyone has their pet theory. But I study conflict for a living, and I was always puzzled
Here's how a Chicago gang leader changed the way I look at America's long war. And what he taught me about why we fight more generally.

Very dear Ukranian friends, I know you will like to see this.
Today in the concert Angelica de la Riva gave in Madrid, the Ukranian national anthem was played. The public gave a standing ovation.
Europe is with you.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

The definition of appeasement.
A ceasefire freezes in place all Russian territorial gains post invasión. The right ask is "there must be a Russian withdrawal to pre February positions"
RT @Bundeskanzler: Three points from my long phone call with #Putin today:
There must be a ceasefire in #Ukraine as quickly as possible.
The claim that Nazis are in power there is false.
And I also reminded him about Russia’s responsibility for th…
RT @TheEconomist: “It is increasingly clear that the German economy could weather the shock of an immediate cut-off of Russian gas,” argues @MSchularick in a guest commentary https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2022/05/14/moritz-schularick-argues-that-germany-should-immediately-cut-off-russian-gas?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content
RT @BalEdmundo: Enmendaremos la ley de Seguridad Nacional para obligar al Gobierno a blindar la dirección del CNI de destituciones arbitrarias y coacciones políticas. Ni un caso más como el de Paz Esteban. No apoyaremos la ley sin garantías de que se prohíban estas purgas ideológicas en el CNI.
Bolivarianismo puro. Reciben un rescate tramposo y se gastan el dinero de los españoles persiguiendo a periodistas.
RT @alvaronieto: La aerolínea Plus Ultra me acaba de demandar por derecho al honor y pide que le pague, junto al resto de mis excompañeros de Vozpópuli, una indemnización de 4,6 millones por el perjuicio causado por haber denunciado su polémico rescate por parte del Gobierno. NO NOS CALLARÁN.
We are working from Parliament to put an end to Schöder´s impunity.
Excellent job @vestager . It is essential that temporary measures not become permanent if we want to have a real Single Market. The alternative is the law of the jungle, where the strongest states falsify competition through handouts to their firms.

"The Brexiteer dream of Britain thriving as an independent trading nation has proved to be a chimera based on a mistaken understanding of history. "
RT @Simon_Nixon: The full-scale of the Brexit horror show is starting to become clear. The economically rational response would be to try to reverse some of the damage. Instead the government seems set on making it worse. My latest. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/a…
@simon_jaeger @iza_bonn Great news for German and European economics! Congratulations.
