There have been more than 100,000 #excessdeaths in the... UK since January 2022 - 30,000 more than the number of British civilians who died in #WWII. This is being ignored by Britain’s journalists. I told many of these same journalists - including journalists from ITV News - about the #horizonscandal as far back as 2014 and they ignored that too. Perhaps ITV will make a folksy feelgood docudrama about #excessdeaths in ten years time, with cute little cameos for their own reporters. I wonder how many more people will die unexpectedly in the meantime.show more

Roqqu partners with Ondo Finance to drive the Global... adoption of Real-World Assets Hundreds of trillions of dollars in financial assets exist today. Only a fraction of 1% of them have been tokenized. This imbalance represents one of the largest opportunities in modern finance as capital markets increasingly move on-chain. From Stocks and ETFs to bonds, commodities, and REITs, financial institutions around the world are exploring tokenization as a more efficient way to issue, distribute, and access financial assets. Against this backdrop, we are going into a strategic partnership with Ondo Finance, one of the world's leading issuers of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), to expand access to institutional-grade tokenized financial products across emerging markets. This partnership combines Ondo's leadership in bringing traditional financial assets on-chain and Roqqu's growing distribution network in emerging markets, creating new pathways for investors to participate in the next evolution of global capital markets. At a time when tokenized assets are rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments of digital finance, both companies share a common belief: the future of finance is tokenized.show more

COINBASE ACTIVATES XRP FUTURES TRADE AT SETTLEMENT ON MAY... 1, PUTS XRP ON SAME FOOTING AS BTC AND ETH Coinbase 🛡️ filed with the CFTC to activate Trade at Settlement (TAS) for XRP futures on May 1, covering both nano XRP and full-sized contracts.

This was all streamed from Bitcoin using Ordinals. The... 3D world supports real-time multiplayer interactions, and decentralized land ownership. All this is on-chain on Bitcoin, and as immutable and secure as Bitcoin itself. The weather in the world reacts to Bitcoin fees, clouds are linked to transaction volume, and time in the world is determined by block height. Makes sense for a Bitcoin world. Real-time multiplayer interactions is one of the newest features. This is particularly difficult to do because Bitcoin block times are ~10 minutes. Bitcoin has been around for 17 years, and we're now seeing fascinating new things being built on top of it.show more
