I want freedom from the current banking system as much as the next person, but if you do your own research you will discover that AriseBank is and was a flat out scam. Their code was copied from other

Thank you! I think a lot of people don’t like conspiracy theories because it calls into question the way they are taught to think about the world. I personally like to challenge myself with other

From the technical whitepaper: The EOS.IO software allows each account to consume a percentage of the available capacity proportional to the amount of tokens held in a 3-day staking contract. For example,
