We must condemn murder

On September 10, 2025, Tyler Robinson was arrested on suspicion of the shooting and murder of conservative political podcaster and debater Charlie Kirk while hosting an event at Utah Valley University. As of Monday, September 15, officials have stated that we do not yet know for certain the political persuasion or motives of Robinson.
This instance of political violence has, dishearteningly, reminded me of the culture of violence that we live in in the United States. What has been even more disheartening to me in the past week than yet another instance of senseless violence has been the reaction from many people on my own side of the political aisle. I have, unfortunately, seen people who otherwise advocate for peace and nonviolence celebrate or make light of this tragic murder.
Reader, if you celebrate Kirk’s murder, you are essentially calling for the death penalty for those who say things that you do not like. If you do not support the utilization of the death penalty for murder, ask yourself why you believe that convicted murderers deserve to live despite their crime, but Charlie Kirk did not due to his speech.
It is hypocritical to be against the death penalty and yet celebrate the tragic murder of Kirk. I vehemently oppose the death penalty- I do not believe that violence is the answer to violence. I most certainly do not believe that violence is the answer to controversial ethical beliefs. Nobody should be harassed, intimidated, threatened, or face violence due to their beliefs.
Cultivating a culture in which people celebrate the death of someone they disagree with sets a dangerous precedent- one in which a polarizing figure from one side is assassinated and the other party celebrates. This is likely to lead to a disgusting cycle of violence and celebration.
My prayers are with Erika Kirk, and with Kirk's daughters. His wife and children did not deserve to lose their husband and father, nor did they deserve to witness the brutal murder of the man that they loved most.
Rest in peace, Charlie.

Jeg har fulgt med på denne diskusjonen en stund, og inntrykket mitt er at bildet er mer sammensatt enn overskriftene antyder. Norsk regelverk bygger på en enerettsmodell, der bare enkelte aktører har tillatelse til å tilby slike tjenester her i landet. Selve deltakelsen fra privatpersoner er ikke det som reguleres strengest, mens markedsføring og tilrettelegging fra utenlandske aktører er en annen sak. Den som vil ha detaljene riktig kan sjekk denne kilden og sammenligne med sin egen forståelse. Jeg merker meg også at tilsynsmyndighetene har fått utvidede virkemidler de siste årene, blant annet knyttet til betalingsformidling og tilgang, noe som gjør at praksis endrer seg raskere enn mange antar. Reglene her er ikke statiske, så jeg vil være tilbakeholden med å…

Been watching the stablecoin payment options on Swiss-facing sites for a while now. USDT is pegged to the US dollar, so the value stays roughly flat, which is the main reason I keep using it over BTC or ETH. No real surprises when I check the wallet a week later. Transfers settle fast enough on most networks, fees stay predictable, and I can plan a session budget without doing mental math on exchange rates. I read through https://www.tethercasinosschweiz.ch/ mostly out of curiosity, the technical notes were accurate from what I could verify. Tether has been around since 2014, so the infrastructure is mature at this point. Worth being cautious though, stablecoins are not risk free and reserves have been questioned before.
