The website is garbage though, it does not work without scripts and archive.org can’t make a working archive of it, which is so rare that I suspect it’s intentional. archive.today was able to make one though

It is a decentralized social network, the site is just a frontend to the content.
It is best used with the desktop or mobile app which bypasses DNS and hosting service and talks directly to the nodes.- ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) English1•2 months ago
Ok, but I don’t want to install anything to read a linked post, because then it has unnecessarily more capabilities compared to when it’s confined to a web browser. Also, there’s no excuse for breaking archiving sites.

Re-hypothecation … leading to a situation where multiple claims exist on the same Bitcoin holdings.
effectivily dilluting the as-if supply with derivatives: leveraged gains for banks.
They are selling non-existant stuff (like with the big XMR price manipulation) – we’d need a mechanism of price discovery which distinguishes between real and paper. Monero on exchanges has the same problem. Weren’t we supposed to be delisted from this scam?
