In Wales I could just scoop it out one of the many potholes in my road and put it in a bucket next to the bog. Would work for like 80% of the year.
Some builders burst a pipe last week. They pumped it into the road where it sat for a while, it never drained as the drains don't, well, drain. Now it's just being topped up by the daily rain.

So many people only want the bad guys to be on the other side.
Stir up the far right, stir up the far left, both accuse each other of being Nazis or whatever. Amplify the chaos to ensure maximum outrage from both sides. Made so much easier by all the algorithms the likes of Facebook produce to help you target people effectively!

Actually, I think you're wrong. Bitcoin is a hedge so our governments can't go all authoritarian on us. It does mean that it can be used by anyone, friends and foes, so I understand why that's uncomfortable to some. Like it or not, most money is digital right now, and who you want that controlled by, is up to you.
Not particularly keen on Russell Brand, but he did a good video some months back on why governments are keen on CBDCs, if you can get past the initial bollocks and stomach it, it's worth a watch as he does highlight some really good points on why you should be concerned with them https://youtu.be/vTOYJ4QCPnI.

I predict this isn't going to go down well here. Over at r/cryptocurrency you'll be a hero though.

Yes, some people live in places where water doesn't fall from the sky in vast quantities on a regular basis, and therefore access to clean water is as common and abundant as electricity.
