It’s a hydrolic cylinder, which suggests to me that it was filled with hydrolic oil at one point, and either no longer is from an external leak, or the seal inside is broken and it has lost its pressure.

walks into a gas station in an illegal state and buys a cannabinoid vape pen with the entire rainbow of cannabinoids available from actual weed sans delta 9

walks by the drinks and see bootleggers, six different sizes of 40 ounce, high ABV drinks infused, some infused with 25 different drugs, vitamins and snake oil

Clown-ass economy.

(US) Introducing Comingle: An opt-in UBI (Universal Basic Income) to provide a stable weekly income based upon users contributing 7% of their income ( comingle.us )

It’s been done in the crypto space over defi before, and in some regards, you could consider this a fiat version of PoolTogether, but everyone wins.

The thing with Defi liquidity pools vs this is, you know what a place like PoolTogether or Curve is doing to generate revenue, by offering your liquidity for fees and generating a profit from transactions.

You sell, I dunno, MATIC for ETH, someone has to supply the ETH, someone being the pool members, and they collect the fees for the transaction. It’s just how defi works.

Banks work similarly, with firms using deposited money in the stock market, generating revenue for the bank.

You know what they’re doing. You deposit for the security and insurance a bank provides. For crypto, the yield and gains the pools provide.

For this… ?

Unless they’re more open, unless they’re really a charity and this isn’t a front, I have my doubts on the longevity of this project. Someone will always want theirs, and if it isn’t at the beginning, it will just corrupt later.
