@AlexEpstein @RitaPanahi @AlexEpstein Yes that is the point to make it more expensive to use cheap fossil fuels. We need to transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner energy.

@matthewsyed Just a really bad take IMO. Sounds to me like you are just creating a headline.

@Martina I think he stands more for ordinary people than the establishment. Remember the establishment and bureaucracy pushed all the trans ideology on us.

@Martina The problem is that ant Semitic is thrown around ad nauseam. I don’t believe that literally so many people hate Jews. You should reserve it for those that do.

@benshapiro I think Shapiro’s true colours are coming through now. He’s becoming the parody of what he would find in others. I would characterise him as being unhinged in blanket support of Israel with feelings over facts.

@Michellel1126 @Resist_05 Same

@PeterSweden7 And that proves what exactly?

@EconTalker @benshapiro @piersmorgan You are missing, simple, critical thinking and only look from an is Israeli not a human point of view. You just look at one facet being Hamas.

@afneil Just your opinion- not fact

@northernsoulboy @Cranky_Old_Guy @JaneCaro Oh that is so clever argument. Take a gold star for a grade 3 primary school take.

@benshapiro Ben. I normally respect you. But feelings are not facts. You need to get on the right side of history.

@DrKGregorevic The response to Covid was not only a train wreck, it also massively increased the gap between the two. Lockdowns great for laptop classes. Not great for children and workers.

.@chainlink CCIP is clearly the key to RWA tokenization at scale. While this usually refers to capital markets, the @VodafoneGroup announcement today provides a hint to the larger vision of CCIP in global trade. The potential is insane: THE USE CASE: Bill of lading (BoL). Anybody who’s been involved in physical products and the transfer of physical products across long distances knows what this is. It’s effectively a legal receipt that details everything that’s in a shipment (type, quantity, destination, etc). To hand off a shipment from company to company, you need the bill of lading, period. What did this Vodafone proof-of-concept do? It tokenized the bill of lading. It’s actually such a simple use case: A bill of lading is a receipt that requires signatures and has important data attached to it. Super easy to tokenize, and it makes perfect sense because you’d want cryptographic signatures involved and secure infrastructure behind it to ensure that the BoL only gets passed along if conditions match (a perfect smart contract use case). And currently, the processes behind transferring bill of lading has a lot of red tape and security measures. It makes sense, since it’s literally a legal receipt that shows you are authorized to carry/ship the products in question. Tokenization should theoretically make the handoff process much more efficient since all the security processes can be abstracted by the sheer efficacy of blockchain tech when it comes to security-sensitive use cases. The root problem—and why this hasn’t taken off—is interoperability. If I can’t easily send a tokenized BoL to my shipping company, and they can’t send it to another shipping company that handles another part of the delivery, then the whole point of tokenization is moot. Tokenization is supposed to make delivery more efficient. But I’d need them to be on my blockchain to start. Maybe it’ll work for bigger companies to an extent, but there’s a fundamental problem with needing people to use my blockchain platform for me to do business with them. Enter CCIP. Chainlink CCIP facilitated the “seamless exchange of crucial trade documents across diverse platforms and blockchains.” First off, it’s pretty clear to me that this PoC wasn’t just about blockchain-to-blockchain interoperability, but interoperability between blockchains and other types of platforms. This is awesome because that means CCIP is being used not only to send information and value across enterprise blockchains, but also proprietary systems that are not blockchains. CCIP is the only solution that can bridge the gap between blockchain and non-blockchain systems, which means at scale, you could use CCIP to help facilitate all global trade no matter what level of blockchain adoption they’re at! This industry currently represents tens of trillions of dollars, and I think it’s safe to say global trade will likely grow over time. Pretty neat. Disclaimer: The only information I’m working off of is today’s press release and the SmartCon presentation, probably like most of you. All opinions are my own.

@dalteco @chainlink @VodafoneGroup Yes please. We have the same problem in the carbon markets. Disparate off-chain carbon registries plus carbon credits issued on multiple blockchains. OceanBlocks.org Cheers.

@JoeFJacobs @Martina No

@Talon57 @ryangerritsen It’s no one.

@DouglasKMurray @spectator Problem with this message is the same as censorship we get with top down. If you question or show any ambivalence by say sympathising with Palestinian ppl, are you going to be labeled Hamas lover and be stripped of rights. Seen that in covid. Never again.

@FromKulak Fantastic read. Interesting many of the leaders from lockdown have resigned. Two state leaders in Australia (including our Dan Andrews) and NZ pm have gone.

@DrLoupis I agree but please stop using animals as a term of insult. Animals are innocent wonderful creatures to love.

@Ashmedaidemon @goddek Such a bad take. Too many ppl lose compassion once the need for war triggers in their mind.
