Three years later - the Russo-Ukrainian war as the opening phase of a world war

5 Mar 2025 4 minute read 4 comments VVoytila

It is a strange feeling, agreeing with one's past self but being wiser. Hindsight is a strange tool. It allows us to trick ourselves into believing we were always correct or always wrong. In a post made three years ago I was convinced of Russia's ult...

For Ukraine to Win This War, Russia Must Loose it - This Has Already Happened

5 Mar 2022 5 minute read 2 comments VVoytila

Power is a fickle thing for something that promises ability to control. Military strength is a type of power that can be exerted in two ways: during peace and at war. In peacetime military might is, perhaps counterintuitively, easier to measure. This...

With the inclusion of a new reward coin to publish0x some of you might be wondering what that is and whether it is any good. As someone who has been a holder of Statera for quite some time I would like to share some general news/impressions with you,...

So a while ago I posted about this airdrop opportunity that no one is posting about for some reason, but it was early in the morning and the post sank like a stone. Since this seems to be a neat opportunity, I would hate for people to miss out, so he...

The Case for Dishonesty: Why Compound Finance Should Pay the Full Price of Their Error

Why Grimes "Reading" the Communist Manifesto is Irrelevant (but amusing)

Apparently the rich man's poor man's wife going by the stage name of Grimes decided recently to end the zoomer e-tabloid wet dream that was her imminent trainwreck relationship with the most well-known African inventor and subsidy king, commonly unde...

Think about it. The millions and millions of dollars flooding the medical sector from both private and public coffers. From manufacturers of surgical equipment (masks) to testing labs (all the mandatory tests) to the great pharmaceutical companies (v...

Have you heard of Chainlink? Of course you have. It was the coin that, if we are to believe 4chan's infamous but equally glorious /biz/, a bunch of BTC whales considered good enough to pump. What we can say with certainty is that LINK is one of the f...
