Israel is the greatest ally of the US military and the US military has no business in the Middle East.

How about investing some of the trillions wasted on money laundering forever wars, on US domestic priorities and infrastructure?

Israel doesn't feel like an ally.

๐Ÿ’ก Bitcoin: The Digital Gold, Monero: The Private Cash ๐Ÿ’ก

I'll be forever grateful for Bitcoin's place in history. Bitcoin has undeniably been a groundbreaking proof of concept, but as an early adopter, it's clear to the discerning that it has significant flaws that prevent it from being the best cryptocurrency.

๐Ÿ” The key issues with Bitcoin are:

Transparent Ledger: It offers no real financial privacy.

Lack of Fungibility: Each Bitcoin is unique based on its transaction history.

Volatile Fees: Transaction fees can be highly unpredictable.
Scalability Issues: The network struggles with small block sizes, leading to slow and costly transactions during peak times.

Centralization: Despite claims of decentralization, ASICs and mining farms have centralized the network.

Security Risks: As block rewards diminish, the networkโ€™s security could be at risk, potentially driving miners to more profitable ventures.

For these reasons, Bitcoin is best considered as digital goldโ€”a reliable store of long-term value. However, when it comes to fulfilling the promise of digital cash that is private and not controllable by any government or power, Monero (XMR) stands out. This is why so many early adopters have shifted towards Monero and other cryptocurrencies.

Monero is starting to surpass Bitcoin in usage, both on the clearnet and the darknetโ€”where Bitcoin originally gained its foothold.

๐Ÿ” Monero's Unique Benefits:
Monero is a powerful tool for those who prioritize privacy, security, and financial freedom in an increasingly surveilled digital world.

โš–๏ธ Not a Zero-Sum Game: Itโ€™s important to remember that this isnโ€™t a zero-sum game. Both Bitcoin and Monero have their place and utilityโ€”Bitcoin as a store of value and Monero as a medium of private, untraceable digital cash. Together, they contribute to a more diverse and resilient cryptocurrency ecosystem.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What do you think? Could Monero's focus on privacy and decentralization make it the true digital cash of the future?

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธโš”๏ธ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 11 August 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นIn the north of the #GazaStrip, Israeli troops carried out a series of attacks on various areas of the capital of the Palestinian enclave, causing casualties. Satellite towns north of Gaza, came under fire.

๐Ÿ”นIn the south of the Enclave, the evacuation of the Khan Yunis residents has been announced, followed by the reduction of the humanitarian zone. The Israel Defence Forces plan to launch a local operation against (so-called) terrorist organisations.

๐Ÿ”นOn the border with #Lebanon, both sides exchanged strikes. Hezbollah launched missiles at Kiryat Shmona and other towns, and the IDF militants responded by striking southern #Lebanon.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Syria, a kamikaze drone hit an #US American base, causing a fire and damaging warehouses on its territory. The American side denies the existence of casualties.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Situation in the #Kursk Direction - What is known by the End of 11 August 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ—“ By the end of the day, a tense but relatively stable situation remained in the #Kursk direction. Russian troops are bringing in additional forces to the region and launching counterattacks in several areas.

๐Ÿ”นSatellite images from the enemy side eappeared, according to which the RFAF began building a new defence line south of #Kurchatov. Its main goal is to prevent a breakthrough of Ukrainian formations in the event of the introduction of reserves and further advance.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Sudzha district, AFU attacks continued throughout the day on the eastern part of the administrative centre controlled by Russian troops. Meanwhile, the enemy still occupies the western suburbs of #Sudzha - #Goncharovka and #Zaoleshenka.

๐ŸŸกOn the northern flank, RFAF units confidently hold #Martynovka, which the enemy tried to recapture several times. The takeover of the settlement will allow the AFU to limit the supply of #Sudzha, and in the event of an advance in the southern suburbs, to completely isolate the settlement.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Korenevo district, Ukrainian formations occupy positions in forested areas along the #Sudzha - #Korenevo Motorway, which regularly receive artillery and aviation strikes. In the vicinity of #Korenevo, there is no enemy.

๐ŸŸกAt the same time, Russian troops counterattacked in the direction of the village of #Snagost, knocking the enemy out of the village. Currently, cleansing is ongoing in the village.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Glushkovo district, Ukrainian formations continue to launch artillery strikes on #Tyotkino. The movement of the AFU is recorded to the south and west of the settlement.

๐Ÿ“Œ At the moment, many are waiting for the next actions of the AFU. Apart from the night โ€œbreakthroughโ€ in the #Belaya district, the Ukrainian formations have shown virtually no offensive activity over the past two days.

๐ŸŸกThe enemy tried to advance towards #Lgov and #Korenevo only twice with the support of armoured vehicles, but both times the attacks were successfully stopped by artillery fire. Nevertheless, the AFU command conducted reconnaissance by force in the #Belgorod region, and there were also reports of enemy concentrations in the #Bryansk region.

Border guards and armed forces gave battle, the battle continues.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Pokrovka settlement area, in the nearest rear of the enemy, enemy reserves are concentrated, ready to engage in combat in case of a successful breakthrough of the defence.
