eon, nonstarter, the fabric of everyday life."as a business proposition it's a non-starter". includes demands long rejected by Kyiv as nonstarters.


Twelve years is an eon in information technology time. Venmo, which I can use to share restaurant bills, buy fresh fruit at sidewalk kiosks, and much more, was also introduced in 2009. Apple unveiled its first-generation iPad in 2010. Zoom came into use in 2012. By the time a technology gets as old as cryptocurrency, we expect it either to have become part of the fabric of everyday life or to have been given up as a nonstarter.

在資訊科技領域,十二年可謂滄海桑田。 Venmo,我可以用來分攤餐廳帳單、在路邊攤購買新鮮水果等等,它也是在2009年推出的。蘋果公司在2010年發表了第一代iPad。 Zoom於2012年開始使用。當一項技術發展到像加密貨幣這樣「老化」時,我們通常認為它要么已經成為日常生活的一部分,要么已經被徹底放棄,不再可行。
