Talking about the role of greed in economics is about as illuminating as talking about the role of gravity in plane crashes.
I see nostr and SN not as competitors.
Are two different things and should not be put in the same bag.
Who put them in the same bag, still do not understand what is nostr and what is SN. I do not expect more from @NVK he usually do not do his own DYOR for his podcast episodes and talk shit. I was expecting a more professional podcast from a "bitcoin review" but is not at all a bitcoin review...
nostr is far beyond a "new twatter" (that is now). People still don't get it and use it mostly for fucking zapathlons.

Oil does not come from dead dinosaurs. The fossil fuels, the name given as such, originates from commitment of oil producers to make it appear as scarce.
"Most oil reserves were formed between 65 and 252 million years ago. While this does overlap with the ‘dinosaur times’, oil is a marine sediment made of the remains of algae and plankton.
Skeletons of prehistoric reptiles such as plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs (neither of which count as dinosaurs) have been found in the same geological layers as oil and they may have contaminated the oil deposit. But to say that oil is made from dinosaurs is like saying that bread is made from insects, just because the odd one occasionally falls into a flour mill." - www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/dinosaurs-in-fossil-fuel
Important to note, many "depleted" oil wells replenish themselves over time.

Hey it's Jor. My nostr buddy from Canada who loves golf. Unexpected.
Jor was supposed to do some golf posts for the territory but he never did.
Busy with other things I guess.
This is pretty cool but I am fairly sure it is illegal. Haha
They're not "requiring banks to adopt crypto" per se, at least the formulation is misleading. The regulator is reminding banks that they have to accept legal customers, and can't cite "crypto" as a reason not to accept them. I.e., it's doing the opposite the US is doing, which just made non-engagement with the space a prerequisite for whoever will take over Silicon Valley Bank.
While the Beijing regulators do steer Hong Kong, it's still under One Country, Two Systems. Hong Kong is used as a laboratory to experiment while keeping the larger Chinese banking system (more or less) isolated. So this is the national regulator directing the local banks to prevent them from letting local risk-management or regulatory fears drive them to pre-emptively reject crypto companies.
I don't think this has anything to do with the digital yuan, or the BRICS interchange currency that's only in its pre-planning stage in any case. I'd assume, rather, that they're trying to profit from an increasingly negative US regulatory environment, trying to draw business to Hong Kong that otherwise would have moved from the US to Singapore or Malta. This seems the more likely direct incentive here.
