on 02025-11-11#video on #Argentina: what happens to stablecoin #cryptocurrency adoption when hyperinflation goes away? Ends up surveying major cryptocurrency use cases in Argentina: tax evasion, cross-border payments, wealth preservation (3’49”), earning yield (13’57”), and everyday spending (14’36”). He interviewed a cuevero who says that actually the cuevas have more business than before #Milei. A thing I didn’t realize was that Macri’s blanqueo was abrogated by Fernández: “Cuando cambió el gobierno al Kirchnerismo, toda la gente que blanqueó tuvo que pagar alrededor de un 40% sobre todos los [activos?] blanqueados.” That’s a theft of about US$60 billion by Fernández. Lots of interview footage with #Belo founder Manuel Beudroit? Boudreau?

on 02024-11-26Akon’s #cryptocurrency city Akon City in #Senegal has unsurprisingly failed: “I come with the concepts and let the geeks figure it out.” #Akoin is now delisted from the exchanges where it was traded.
on 02024-11-03#video from a year ago on the economy of #China, including the C919 narrow-body jet made by #Comac (established 02008), BYD’s #EVs and the Shanghai government’s support for #Tesla, the NVIDIA A100 and the petaflops Biren BR100 (fabbed in 7nm like, supposedly, the A100) and how the export controls block TSMC from making it (I guess this video is from July 02023, before the #HiSilicon Mate60 processor demonstrated SMIC’s 7nm capabilities), Nike vs. Anta (which has apparently bought Fila and Wilson), CATL vs. mostly other Chinese EV battery companies, supercomputers (mentioning the 02015 export controls), bullet trains (there's a World Bank map at 45'25" showing how Urumqi is connected), “metaverse” (pointing to pre-publication approval requirements on games), and space tourism with CAS Space. Says that in 02022 China had 173 supers on the #TOP500 list vs. 128 in the #USA, making their recent withdrawal rather momentous, and that #cryptocurrency transactions were banned there in 02022.
