That would be nice.

I was not a fan of his doctrine, but I am sad for his passing. I pray that the RCC chooses someone who can reformed the church to affirm justification by faith alone in Christ alone.

I’m not sure why people consider it a Christophany. Jesus was not incarnate yet, so I don’t think it was the 2nd person of the trinity.

Banks are not typically replacing Swift, they are using Swift with a blockchain validator.

There are a number of banks working on this. Not just testing but in production, now.

The news… also… banks that I work with. https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/44961/hsbc-and-ant-international-laud-results-of-blockchain-based-tokenized-deposit-transfers

Because 1) blockchain is far more secure than the older methods of xfer, 2) blockchain is faster than the current methods, and 3) blockchain is cheaper than the current methods.

I work with a few banks who are actively using this already and others who are developing the technology. Not sure where you get your information, but I can tell you first hand that banks and credit card company absolutely are using crypto right now.

As one who used to be Republican and am a real conservative… It was basically what I expected. Actually I thought they let Zelensky talk more than I thought they would.

I’m a never Trumper though. So probably not what you’re asking for.
