He explores how speculation and memes have clouded crypto’s purpose, and why eCash $XEC stays focused on building real peer-to-peer money. 🎬 Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=9WHvgVJ6…

An interesting fact about this one is that it is a USSR cultivar. A lot of research and testing happened in the USSR to produce cold hardy fruits to feed vitamins to comrades. If you have a cold hardy pomegranate or citrus fruit, it probably comes from Ukraine.

5 year old Nikita's gift tree. An asian-american persimmon hybrid, astringent (eat overripe or dried), rich complex flavor. I grafted that one myself, on a transplanted wild persimmon tree that grew in a neighbor's fence.

A 4 years old Hachiya tree. Gifted by a nurseryman friend. Large caliber fruits, traditionally used for dried persimmons in Japan. Astringent. Size and shape makes peeling easy for drying.

It's the time of the year when I tell you that persimmons are one of the most underrated fruits. It is ultra productive and basically has no diseases, no pests, no worms... youtube.com/watch?v=ukhZqjkO…

I have never tasted persimmon wine or liquor, but in theory I don't see why it couldn't replace grape or apples for alcohol production. It has the sugar content.

"I leave this institution with a sense of a good job done" Missed the inflation target for 5.5 years, 3.8% inflation, chaos in French streets, sovereign spreads blowing up, and continued economic decline. Makes one wonder what a bad job would have looked like. youtube.com/shorts/aefPjJ2g0…

I'm going to print out this chart and make it my Halloween decoration.
Le CDS de la France semble continuer son ascension inarrêtable. Le CDS, c'est un produit financirr qui évalue le risque de faillite d'un pays ou d'une entreprise. Plus le CDS est élevé, plus le risque de faillite est élevé. Un CDS a 100 évalue le risque de faillite du pays à peu près à 8% sur les 5 années à venir. À titre de comparaison, le CDS de la Grèce est de 50. On ne parle plus d'un risque hypothétique mais d'un vrai risque quantifiable. Et ce n'est que le début. La situation est de plus en plus hors de tout contrôle.
