We executed the first native BTC swaps on Magi in both directions. Real Bitcoin came in, hopped through HBD as settlement, and arrived as native HIVE on Hive mainnet. Reversed: HIVE through HBD and out as real BTC on Bitcoin mainnet, completely trustless, TSS signed, without bridges, wrapped tokens, and middlemen. vsc.techcoderx.com/tx/bafyreigm2j… mempool.space/tx/338213c775f… We did it! Next we are bringing native DASH, DOGE, BCH to Magi with plans for ETH and USDC starting, all with a Fiat onramp and offramp. No more CEX dependence for Hive and any future project we integrate with. A better, decentralized future begins today.

@bunburyoudoujp Clever.

@TeslaModelDoge I did. Many others have. Why wouldn’t you be able to?

Can an American who only speaks English move to Japan and learn Japanese? I’m seriously thinking about it. What do you think? 🇯🇵

@Akinsanyai1387 What about ハードゲイ? Seems way more disrespectful than what this guy does. youtu.be/AUa-uFdnRIs?si…

親愛なる日本へ、この人はナイジェリア人で、犯罪歴はなく、分断を招くような政治活動にも関わっておらず、薬物も使用せず、健康維持に努め、誰にも迷惑をかけていません。 ただ食べて、踊って、いつも幸せそうで、周りの人にも幸せを分け与えているだけなのに、実際の犯罪者や小児性愛者よりも多くの憎悪を受けています。

@80strolls Well, don’t eat the whale meat, obviously. I would prioritize ramen, yakitori, sushi, okonomiyaki, and Omi Beef or whatever your favorite wagyu is.

I think visiting Japan is one of my next travel goals... Where should I go? What should I prioritize?

@harukaawake Great. Now do Bosozoku.

🇯🇵 A group of foreigners in Japan (from Nepal?) decided to make a lot of noise in a Japanese suburban neighborhood. Very annoying for locals living there.

@MmisterNobody IRL or here? Big difference.

Why do people get so angry when you say the moon landing is fake?

But let’s actually talk about the convenience store noodle system in Thailand vs Japan. Please no fighting. In Thailand, if you want instant noodles, you pick one out, then go to the noodle station and pour hot water, and then pay. After that, you either sit down and eat or leave with your food. Why is it convenient? In Thailand, the prep happens while you’re waiting anyway, so you’re overlapping tasks. But in Japan, everything is sequential, so total time can be longer for the individual customer, even if the system itself is more controlled? Thailand: pick > prepare > queue > pay > eat Japan: pick > queue > pay > prepare > wait > eat Both societies already operate on high interpersonal trust, so I’m confused why Japanese consumers follow corporate rules that don’t make sense? 7-11 rules don’t count as “culture or tradition” so that reasoning can’t be used lol You also can’t blame foreigners, this system has been in place in Thailand for years, and Thailand is also a tourist hub yet everything works fine and saves consumers 1-3 minutes in waiting time per meal.

@sighyam ただの疑問だけど お湯入れて会計しようとして「やべっ、サイフ忘れた！」ってなった場合はどうなるの？

@Shinobuwu @sighyam Never bought oden at a conbini I see.

@sighyam I think waiting in a line with a cup of hot water and noodles doesn't sound the safest choice. Also, you doesn't know how long you will be waiting in the queue. But all this talking from a perspectiva that never had this kind of experience, but this are the concern I can see.

@tindenli @sighyam Sounds like you’ve never bought Oden at the conbini 😂

@sighyam It's not just "blind" corporate rules. You don't own it yet, so you can't open it - what if you realise you forgot your wallet, etc. Carrying around hot water is messy, and maybe dangerous. And it's harder to manage from the theft side. Try to understand the Japanese side also.

Japan has one rule: DON'T DO THINGS DIFFERENT. As a foreigner, you will break this rule, because you don't know how it applies to situation x, y, or z. This also happens to Japanese people, btw. In Japan. So I'm told.

@Noahpinion Just use AI to rewrite posts then.

Japan loves X because of the pseudonymity. But AI is going to make it easy to dox anyone from their writing style very soon, so its appeal may diminish.

@IfindRetards @pitzington I lived there for 13 years. Ever see a drunk Japanese guy pissing from a train platform? Ever see drunk salarymen or high school boys being noisy on the train? I have. Doesn’t excuse the behavior seen here, but Japan is far from this idealistic vision people have.

@pitzington Japan is a special case. Basic example. You'll never see a local jaywalking, no matter the traffic or time of night There are literally bikes left unlocked on the street. It won't survive with these animals.

Retard plays loud music at Starbucks in Japan, refuses to stop. If you don't know Japanese culture values respecting everyone, peace & quite in public spaces & following rules. E.g. You don't hear a single noise on their trains. They will not survive with immigration

@HelpMeImSane @harukaawake Wow. Mind reading!

@harukaawake They think that just because they're not in a Muslim society it's anything goes...

🇯🇵☪️ A Muslim Kurdish man rides in a shopping cart at Costco Japan. What type of adult man behaves like this? So strange.

@harukaawake It’s called having a little fun. Try it some time. Anyway it’s Costco. They’re just helping people get that authentic American shopping experience 😁

@harukaawake lol. Many, many Japanese owned small businesses deal in cash to avoid paying taxes. I know very well as a former business owner there who had to pay taxes to keep my visa. Doing things their way was pretty tempting. Would have saved me millions of yen over the years.

🇯🇵 A foreign lady living in Japan explains how to avoid paying taxes and commit tax evasion. "Just ask to be paid in cash and never file taxes." This is extremely illegal.

@Devon_Eriksen_ Maybe. But then there’s Lotteria and MOS Burger.

If a Japanese man decided that what Japan wanted was cheeseburgers, he would not buy a McDonald's franchise and import a bunch of surly American teenagers on work visas. He would develop a multi-year obsession with the perfect cheeseburger, make a pilgrimage to America, and tour the entire country, eating in upscale gastropubs, fast-food chains, and small-town diners, talk to Michellin chefs and short order cooks, and make cheeseburgers on the propane stove in his Winnebago every night, relentlessly practicing. When he returned home to Japan, he would mortgage his house to buy a small storefront and a custom griddle made from a three hundred pound slap of cast iron, and each morning he would arise before the sun, bicycle to the local butcher to fill the cooler in his bike trailer with a hundred pounds of the finest ground Wagyu, and all day, he would sweat over that grill, making burgers. They would be weird. Japanese weird. Like maybe they would have corn on them. Or dried squid. But they would be delicious.
