Donald Trump – A Disputed Messenger of Bitcoin

There has been a lot of talk about Donald Trump and his plans to build a physical wall around Mexico. This plan would be set in motion to prevent remittance solutions originating in the US, and coerce the Mexican government into paying for this wall in the end. But Bitcoin will quickly sneak around this border, making Trump’s plan seem ever more silly than it was in the first place.

Donald Trump, Remittance, and Bitcoin

For a Presidential candidate, issuing statements such as “building a wall between the US and Mexico and halting remittance transfers” do not go over well with the general population. As ludicrous as this plan sounds, Donald Trump would like nothing more than go ahead with this plan and ensure the Mexican government picks up the tab for this project as well.  After all, halting this remittance corridor would be more expensive for the Latin American country than paying for the wall’s construction.

Many people have pointed out the many flaws in this plan, as Donald Trump seems clueless as to how remittance solutions work. Moreover, he is ignoring the Mexicans working in the US and sending money back home, as they would be punished for being law abiding citizens as well.
Needless to say, this ridiculous proposal by Donald Trump is cause for much excitement in the Bitcoin world.Genesis Mining, one of the industry’s leading [cloud] mining companies, has been having a blast with pointing out how Bitcoin would circumvent any remittance walls as the digital currency cannot be stopped. No one in the world has any power over Bitcoin, and banks nor governments can do anything about this concept.
Although Bitcoin holds a lot of promise for the remittance sector on a global scale, some challenges need to be overcome. Converting the funds to fiat currency will be a significant hurdle in Mexico, as the number of ATMs in the whole country is limited to just three. Then again, this figure could easily go up when a few like-minded entrepreneurs come up with a strategy.
Until that happens, Genesis Mining seems content on continuing their poster campaign. However, it is important to keep in mind the mining company is not here to pick sides, as they just want to raise awareness for Bitcoin as a use case in the remittance sector. Donald Trump ought to start thinking twice before getting involved in the financial industry, as he needs to learn a thing or two by the look of things.

Have mymonero some problems ?

Hello, this is user pandher from BTCtalk. I have been a follower and holder of Monero since 2014 when the first bitmonero thread appeared on BTCtalk. Since that thread i knew Monero was the only one worth following. The professionalism and honesty of the dev team was a rare sight in that shitcoin madness. Checking the Monero reddit page and speculation thread had become a morning habit with me. I rarely missed reading both of these in these 2 years. I saw the community grow from a few hundred to a few thousand. It was so good to watch, to witness. Although i was mostly non vocal i felt myself as a part of this community. Reading AP's posts about the new world domination were exciting. But today i bid farewell to this wonderful community. All my Monero have been stolen Since zhalox posted about his lost Monero, i woke up from my slumber and created a cold wallet using GingerAle's paranoid method. Only to find out all my 4 MyMonero accounts were wiped on 3 september 2016. I...

Dove le molecole smettono di Ur­tarsi: viaggio nella coerenza Quantistica della Vita

C’era un momento, nella storia della biologia, in cui la vita veniva immaginata come un enorme tavolo da biliardo. Molecole che si urtano. Collisioni casuali. Reazioni che accadono perché, semplicemente, qualcosa colpisce qualcos’altro nel modo giusto. Funzionava. Più o meno. Poi, lentamente, qualcosa ha iniziato a incrinarsi. Non perché quella visione fosse sbagliata, ma perché era incompleta. Troppo rumorosa. Troppo cieca. Troppo… inefficiente per spiegare ciò che osservavamo davvero. Perché dentro le cellule accadevano cose strane. Troppo veloci. Troppo precise. Troppo coordinate. Come se, invece di urtarsi alla cieca, le particelle… sapessero. Immagina di entrare dentro una cellula. Non troverai caos. Non troverai disordine. Troverai elettroni che scorrono come una valuta invisibile, scambiata con una precisione che sfida l’intuizione. Non saltano semplicemente da una molecola all’altra: a volte attraversano barriere che, secondo la fisica classica, non dovrebbero poter...

Ingegneria del contesto per l'intelligenza artificiale avanzata

  Quando si parla di IA generativa, il dibattito pubblico si concentra spesso su due aspetti: la potenza del modello e la qualità dei prompt. Tuttavia, tra questi due poli si trova un'area meno discussa ma cruciale:  il contesto  . Non stiamo parlando solo di "informazioni extra" per il modello, ma dell'architettura logica e operativa che determina il modo in cui l'intelligenza artificiale interpreta, collega e utilizza i dati per fornire risultati accurati e coerenti. È qui che entra in gioco  l'ingegneria del contesto  : l'arte (e la scienza) di progettare, organizzare e ottimizzare il contesto di un Large Language Model (LLM) per guidarlo verso risposte più affidabili, precise e utili. Perché l'ingegneria del contesto è importante Un LLM non "capisce" il mondo come gli esseri umani. Elabora modelli statistici in base agli input che riceve e ai dati di training.  Il contesto  è la combinazione di istruzioni, esempi, dati di supporto e rifer...
