"The government and the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) are forcing financial firms to compensate voice phishing victims, regardless of who is at fault, fanning concerns over how far consumer protection should go without distorting incentives in the financial system, market watchers said Monday."

no idea if you notice the mistake, but the people who always complain about vibecoder (meaning those who can’t handle #ai) would probably say this is what happens when you code with ai. i’d say if it had been done with ai, that clueless excuse of a developer wouldn’t have forgotten to link the second copy button 🙄 🤦

The Federal Reserve just pumped $31.5 Billion into the Banking System.
It’s the largest liquidity injection since Covid and higher than the the Dot Com Bubble.

Daniel prince from Once Bitten podcast on usury and banking.
Usury is lending money, charging interest.
Aristotle thought money was for use not for interest. He thought usury unnatural.
Many religious quotes saying not to extract interest.
"Money is power" but this is not gold or paper money. It's credit. Infinite money with interest. Which breaks everything.
Imagine a mortgage. Prices of homes inflated by available interest. You have to give a deposit but the bank creates ten times that in new money! Who gets rich here? Banks are printing money. That inflates prices and dilutes money purchase power.
Not just mortgages. Business loans, repair loans, global scale of all of this.
Not only did they create that money, the charge interest on the money they created! And if you don't pay, they take the house.
One judge found this all illegal, but was soon overruled and found mysteriously dead.
What can you do eh? Only opt out. Don't take loans. Use a money that stores value instead of losing it.

Short panel on merchant adoption.
Hipster burgers here in Manchester takes bitcoin. The owner says people are generally more curious than dismissive.
Gresham's law implies that people spend their worst money first. They want rid of it. When you give merchants your bank money you give them the worst money. Be kinder to merchants!
Ben from lnbits, the first merchant point of sales lightning devices, says merchants are interested because they want to have a broad portfolio. Accepting bitcoin is the easiest way to get it, without "know your customers" banking rules.
