Hey Jamie Dimon, what do you think of your boy Trump.? Was it worth it bending your knee?

Trump’s call for 10% credit-card cap aims at banks’ crown jewels

Trump’s call for 10% credit-card cap aims at banks’ crown jewels

After a week of jarring markets with announcements aimed at making homes more affordable, the president swiveled to another consumer burden: the cost of carrying a credit card balance from one month to the next. This time, his social-media missive pushed a slew of card issuers led by JPMorgan Chase & Co., Capital One Financial Corp. and Citigroup Inc. into the crosshairs. Card interest rates — hovering above 20% in recent years — have become a target of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, with bills popping up and meeting stiff resistance from the industry.

Meanwhile #Monero takes a #noice #blaze, crossing €420,69 exchange rate.

  • I just feel sad cuz I didn't have the €€€ to buy in when it was less than €5. So no, I don't have any myself. 2nd biggest missed oportunuty (1st one I couldn'd when #Infineon shares were 6¢ I was under 18 so I couldn't just 'YOLO' like €50 into those)…

Here's the #App. It uses #CoinGecko's #free #API and pulls data straight form their site.. It's OFC available on @fdroidorg……

  • Granted, Monero is the only non- #Shitcoin aka. Only Cryptocurrency isn't a #PostPrivacy shitshow and the closest to #digital #cash that actually exists. 1 2 3 4 5

#NotFinancialAdvice OFC, but the a " #criminalization" attempts with #delistings show that it works…

  • Cuz #Chainalysis are pounding sand whilst Monero goes harder, faster, better, stronger...

So yeah, if anyone of you folks out there use Monero, don't forget to use @torproject / #Tor as well and #RunYourOwnNode!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDBHhz00vjI

  • Not to mention Monero per very concept can't do #NFTs and other bullshit and the developers actively removed any past option to abuse it for that (i.e. tx_extra field) because #privacy and #security is what it does best!

Cuz it's an actual #currency for #payments, not a shitcoin to #gamble!

#LineGoesUp #Cryptocurrencies #Shitcoins #

A Monero Price alert showing that Monero's Market (Exchange) Rate climbed over 420,69 Euro.
