What actually sucks about the GENIUS Act: stablecoin holders get first dibs if the stablecoin issuer defaults.

Who can be issuers?

Federally insured banks and subsidiaries.

If these banks commingle deposits with reserves, then this will force banks to dip into deposits, if reserve alone fails to cover claims.

Good thing is, the FDIC will ensure up to $250K of deposits, but what this means is that the FDIC is effectively subsidizing bad decisions from banks.

This is the *only* argument against the act that I actually find is what we should absolutely find concerning.

However, I find that the majority of regressive leftist fedidiots and fedimbiciles who can't read are making all sorts of other arguments against the act, none of which should be taken seriously. Unfortunately, them repeatedly making these dumb arguments weaken the cause of highlighting how bad the proposed law is

@voxel like all #PoW #Cryptocurrency, #Monero too does #WastefulComputing.

  • Unlike many others it automatically adapts #Difficulty based off total #hashrate as it enshures a constant block reward of 0,6 XMR + Tx Fees per block at a constant block time of 2mins per block.

That being said Monero was explicitly designed to not be #ASIC-able in a cost-efficient manner and be #GPU-unfriendly, so it's more #decentralized and doesn't cause harm by demanding custom hardware that can't be repurposed that causes 100% avoidable #eWaste!

  • IOW: I's the 'least worst' option given it's PoW doesn't incentive or reward capital holders (beyond the ability to host and have power to mine)…
