Re:What Happens to Stocks and Cryptocurrencies When the Fed Stops Rain...

Since you mentioned political, which infers government, what is the impact of cryptocurrencies to governments and the Treasuries if fiat experiences inflation, loss of 'trust', and devaluation? I would likely be more comfortable in a decentralized 'gamble' than the USD or the current banking/financial system.

Using your shirt analogy, what shirt do shorters (at the HF-level) wear? The shorters have a vested interest in an equity falling.

I've been playing Halo Master Chief Collection on Debian in Steam. It is amazing that gaming on Linux has come this far. RDR2 and Skyrim run better, faster, and at higher graphics quality and framerates than on Windows 10.

I like the look and feel. Nice job. I used the example feed, and four post titles were retrieved, but I was not able to open the post by clicking on the title. Chrome on Android.

Deprecated is a word. No negativity implied, but equating "deprecated" to "depreciated" is insular. It is okay to be wrong, I have been wrong (George Foreman Grill dissenter..."it drips fat in the front? Gross."). I am not sure what your native language is, and I wish I did so we could communicate, but it is like calling a "warning" as "decay" in English (US).
Typo corrected.

I saw no mention of fraud, or mishandling of mail-in ballots, or absentee ballots. The crux of the short article was not on voting fraud but on the new Postmaster DeJoy's actions that are being investigated.

He refined his music, lyrics, and voice over the years with maturity. RIP Chuck. I liked the instrumentals the most, and the drums were usually very well done, especially by Gene Hoglan on ITP, Symbolic, etc.
