Is that lighter than SQLite, heavier, or about the same?

I think a shell game has cropped up around crypto, but I don't think crypto itself is a shell game. You just have to be careful.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Maybe... but the games played by the World Bank, all the world's governments and legacy currency investors are already bad enough.
Crypto is 10x worse - all while flying Mach 3 with your hair on fire.

How does that instance "persuade" you, outside the obvious point that it reinforces your feeling about crypto? Some major banks almost went belly up a few years ago. Doesn't persuade you to post about the Euro being a shell-game
Article link: “During its growth, the Company suffered a series of losses that impacted its ability to match its assets and liabilities,” he wrote. Yeah, that's what happened. To the banks here, I mean.
Lending money involves risc. If with "Crypto" you mean BitCoin, then no, it can't go bankrupt.
--edit
Currency speculation also involves risc. That's not a business model, but gambling.

There it is again: "currency" speculation ...
It's a pot full of wishful thinkers playing chicken with each other; waiting for a self-serving whale to tell them when to "take the dip"; again.
The other "wish" is that this is winter, and summer will come; again.

It's not playing chicken and it not bad either; it moves part of the currency risc from the general public to the speculator. With risc reduction less volatility.
It exist since the invention of fiat currencies. Since their existance, we can bet a ton of wood (or a few grams of gold) against that currency.
Sounds wrong again, fiat is not a bad thing. It spread wealth among those without gold.

Economical good times. Nothing lasts and even this shall go away.

Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite 2 part crypto story again.
1) Dunning-Krugerrands.
2) Money with wings.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So I just got one of these:
Acer XG270HU omidpx 27" 2K QHD 2560 x 1440 1ms 144Hz AMD FreeSync Technology Edge-to-Edge Frameless Design DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers LED Backlit LCD Gaming Monitor
and the resolution is incredible - I can read small print again with my almost 60-year-old eyes.
However, because I've been using HP curved monitors for a couple of years, the screen bows out, at least until my brain "recovers" from looking at a curved monitor. Day 2 now, and it's getting better but not quite there yet.
So an experiment to see if curved monitors are actually bad - as in, because of the weird brain compensation, does it f*** up my vision generally, and possibly affects my energy level (as in lowers) because of the unnaturalness of a curved monitor.
I'll report back with unscientific personal experience findings, lol.

My eyes are approaching 64 years -- and I've had corrective lenses (and lately bifocals) since I was 9 for being near-sighted. I've never used a curved monitor -- I'm curious as to whether many CP members find them helpful.

The first though I had when I got my 27" 1080p monitor was that it was just like my older/smaller monitors, but with bigger pixels. So I feel like it's a waste of real-estate.
At its native resolution, text on my 40" 4K monitor is just a tad too small, so I tend to resize things a bit.
2560x1440 at 27" to me sounds like a good compromise. I would NOT want a 4K monitor at that size. I'll probably look for something similar when mine dies. Although it won't be curved - I can't imagine a curved monitor being part of a set of 3.

I tried comparing a curved display to a flat screen once. It turned out that they were about equal in their ability to survive a flying barrel bushing from a model 1911 .45 ACP pistol. I've since given up comparing monitors, and gunsmithing while sitting in front of monitors.
