Bit of a tangent.
Sweden rethinks its cashless paradigm.
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024...t-systems.htmlEarlier this week, Heise Online, a German online news service that covers IT, telecommunications, and technology sectors, published a long, in-depth report about the Riksbank’s apparent rediscovery of some of the benefits of cash. The article also explores some of the Riksbank’s concerns about the potential fragility of a fully cashless payment system, as outlined in its 2024 Payments Report, published in March.
At a time when the dominant narrative around cash — as espoused by senior bankers, central bankers, big tech and fintech executives, politicians and economists, and of course, their ever-faithful servants in the media — is that its demise is all but inevitable, even in countries where cash is still King (Germany, Spain, Austria, Mexico, Thailand, Japan…), the Riksbank’s report may offer a cautionary tale. From the Heise Online piece (machine translated):
“The Swedish payments market has been digitized rapidly,” states the Riksbank. Cash and manual payment services have been replaced by cards, mobile phones and internet services. “As a result, payments have become faster, smoother and cheaper overall,” which the ins ute points out is “a positive development.” However, there are groups in society “who do not have access to digital payment services or find it difficult to use them and are therefore marginalized”. There are also “serious fraud problems that could undermine trust in the payment system.”Put another way, cash does not crash. It does not fail in a power cut or seize up during a cyber attack (though, of course, ATMs might). By contrast, digital payment systems need a stable and continuous internet connection to process transactions. When these connections fail, the result is often chaos. Digital payment outages have caused significant disruption in a host of countries in recent years, including the US, the UK, Australia, Indonesia, Germany, Canada, Spain and Norway. Generally speaking, the more cashless the country, the greater the disruption.
Digitalization also makes payments “more vulnerable to cyber attacks and disruptions to the power grid and data communication,” the bank points out. At the same time, the geopolitical developments of the past few years required “Sweden to have strong civil defense.” The developments suggested “that we should concentrate more than before on the challenges of digitalization.”
[The world] always does, like clockwork.
Let us proceed...
I guess Old Man Biden is mighty pissed at Old Man Trump for hangin' a FELONY conviction of Hunter, so, now Old Man Biden is eyeballin' Stretch Trump.
American Democracy indeed, Winester.
https://time.com/6982015/bitcoin-mining-texas-health/None of them knew what, exactly, was causing these symptoms. But they all shared a singular grievance: a dull aural hum had crept into their lives, which growled or roared depending on the time of day, rattling their windows and rendering them unable to sleep. The hum, local law enforcement had learned, was emanating from a Bitcoin mining facility that had recently moved into the area—and was exceeding legal noise ordinances on a daily basis.
there is an increasing body of scientific studies linking prolonged exposure to noise pollution with cardiovascular damage.
Mornin', fart-face.
You ain't turnin' TexasPERIOD
Trump/Vance are teasing crypto bros.
Mark Cuban thinks they're greasing the skids for a transactional play.
linkStill, it’s unclear how far Trump’s embrace of digital assets will go. After all, crypto markets are notoriously fickle and a lot could happen between now and the beginning of the next presidential term to revive Trump’s previous resistance to an asset class infamous for scandals and “thin air” valuations.
At least for now, however, crypto executives are happy to hear Trump making the noises they want to hear.
“All Trump has had to do is go ‘rah-rah, go Bitcoin,’” said Dan Tapiero, who runs digital-asset investment firms 1RoundTable Partners and 10T Holdings. “It’s the lowest bar that needed to be crossed to get people in our space excited.”
