Physical gold can be a scam too. In most cases you can only verify it's value weeks after purchase. And if if fails to pass the test recourse is too late in most cases. Make peace with your sub standard crappy purchase I suppose. Bitcoin does not have this problem. It's verified while the TX is lying in the mempool. It's verified when the TX is confirmed. The UTXO is auto verified every ten minutes until you spend it and then it's verified again. No trust needed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HUUEfKmy91o

What did you accomplish last week? Seems like a low bar. South African Afrikaners are going to make Americans look lazy when we enter the workforce if this is the state of affairs. Newly appointed executives of Federal agencies would be wise not to get in Musk's way cause he will go around them and they will look stupid. I'ts time to bring the reaper. He should fire all these agency heads do the deed and rehire them later. Chainsaw this topheavy, fat and disgusting federal whore. Oh and GM beautiful NOSTR https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-did-you-do-last-week-musk-says-federal-employees-have-until-midnight-monday-explain
