He is on Mastodon @[email protected] though.

And I do agree with the first part of the statement...but I think a good chunk of us here use Linux so the latter part falls flat.

Perhaps we'll see it similar moreso to Unix. Where activity pub is Unix and is used around the world. But Linux is still used by a small portion of the population.

It needs a more diverse set of topics other than just crypto. I mainly just check it to see what's up cause I like the protocol.

I use it the least but occasionally post so it gets some more content on there that isn't just crypto. I generally only post on decentralized social media to be the change I want to see hence why Nostr is included.

The EU also took option (a) it says below so you're dead on.

He doesn't seem opposed to large cuts on services. Issue is if they can't produce enough goods will they eventually run out of services to cut 👀.

Also seems like stagnation is already at play:

But Argentine wages have remained stagnant or declined, with the monthly minimum wage for regulated workers just $264 as of this month, with workers in the informal economy often paid less.

Agreed. Forums are tricky because in my experience of you get too many people outside of the niche you're discussing the quality goes down.

But if you don't have enough then the Reddit community will take the majority of the discussion away from the forum.

There are some good hobby based ones still out there but discovery is always a challenge. Your best bet is finding someone who's engaged in discussions you like and seeing where they go for said discussions.

From the Wikipedia link:

Option (a): A stable exchange rate and free capital flows (but not an independent monetary policy because setting a domestic interest rate that is different from the world interest rate would undermine a stable exchange rate due to appreciation or depreciation pressure on the domestic currency).

Option (b): An independent monetary policy and free capital flows (but not a stable exchange rate).

Option (c): A stable exchange rate and independent monetary policy (but no free capital flows, which would require the use of capital controls).

My money is on (a) since capital controls doesn't align with his libertarian platform. Do we know how quickly he'd have to announce his intentions?
