What do you mean by “backed” here? I think I’m misunderstanding but I thought (and a short google seems to confirm) that currency A being backed by currency B means the value of A is fixed at a certain amount of currency B, and there is some organisation “backing” this with reserves.
Not trying to shill/defend crypto, just confused on terminology :)


Pardon dealing industry? In the UK?
I’m pretty sure only 4 pardons have been given in the last 25 years. 1 was posthumous (Turing) and the other 3 were given to convicts who saved people’s lives while incarcerated.
I don’t think being anti-woke is going to help anyone get a pardon in the UK.
I do think it’s a grift, just not convinced it’s a grift for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy.
