Simple reminder that tech can only go so far... Politics can make or break anything we create. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/8bf28c6f63c22f24e234f63120f9eaedb547201f7c072250c8cc945ab001a223.mp4

True
Less government is the answer
You really beleive politics can break bitcoin? If I believed that I'd sell it all.
Yep, they can just add a new law saying that it is illegal to hold Bitcoin in any form in a similar way they did with Gold in the 30s where no private household, bank, or business was allowed to own or hold more than a trivial amount of gold.
Sure they reversed that, but most of the gold is still in the gov's control.
That only affects citizens in the US. Would have immediate consequences globally that would not be good for the US gov.
They could do what you describe but I think we have passed that stage of that being palatable. Far to many elites have bitcoin.
Nah.. All they need is a scapegoat event to change public opinion about it. Iraq-war style. I am sure it will happen and I hope people will stand their ground and not be fooled by the conspiracy.
key legal terms in this discussion are:
U.S.
U.S. citizen
There is more than one legal definition for each of those terms... without defining terms when speaking of law, you might just as well be jacking off rather than flooding the already buried mind of man with more confusion posts.
95% of Americans are NOT U.S. citizens as the government chooses to class them once they(not knowing Law) check the box on the toilet paper.
It was the same with the folks who 6102'd themselves. The "order"(lol this is America not England, nigga) was directed at the "U.S. citizen" that the federal government has juridiction over - those would be people born in DC, or the territories and possessions. These people HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. They have pseudo clones of the real God-given rights which are enforced and GIVEN to them by Congress. They can also be taken away by Congress. Such are Statutory US citizens SUBJECT to the statutory codes and everchanging legal whims of the de facto corporate occupying government.
The OTHER US citizen is all of those folks born in the 50 states of the Republic. That man is a Constitutional US citizen and has certain inalienable God-given rights (not declared by the 14th Amendment, but innate, inherent, a priori, and INALIENABLE (cannot be traded away) - LIFE/PROPERTY being the foundational one, and the federal government has ZERO jurisdiction over this fella insofar that he is not domiciled (sometimes residence is also confusedly lumped in here while in reality they have distinct legal meanings and consequences relative to LEGAL STATUS, and thus STANDING in court) in a federal territory, possession or zone... the federal government has no more supernatural right to steal this mans property than you have a right to steal your neighbors... nation of LAWS, not men.
95%-plus of the people who "volunteered" their gold were NOT required to - just like with that other "voluntary" thingy - but, they were ignorant of the law.

This video is funny. The world was very different during the cold war.
What's amazing is the nuclear energy could basically electrify the entire world, and unbelievably cleanly too.
The most interesting thing is that he's saying this out loud. This is what states do now with capitalism. They regulate small players out and work hand in glove with a few players. Facism.
Protocols over platforms. Hive mind the future of AI.
That's because governments and banks have control of the monetary system. So politics is backed by the monetary policy. The monetary system is what gives them almost unlimited power.
We just need to take that power from them. Then they will not be able to control AI or anything out there.
I believe we are on the correct path to take monetary power from them using Bitcoin. Bitcoin is going to completely change the political system.
Keep fighting them using Bitcoin. We will win.
Holy shit
This is not new
I know
these guys... and their lawyers...
are full of shit.
the federal government has ZERO jurisdiction to tell entrepeneurs WORKING IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR in America, i.e. outside of federal jurisdiction zones which are the possessions and territories of incorporated US, DOC and federal buildings in states also...
outside of those areas its ALL presumption and false equivocations.
Andreeson is a billionaire slave idiot. or an agent.
lol
whats so funny?
The feds have always interfered with what entrepreneurs do. They do that in many ways, some are hard, others are soft. But they always interfere in virtually every company.
no they have not. the rest of your answer to "whats so funny" is nonsensical propagation of the party line that contains ZERO useful information to people that arent interested in accepting your slave status.
i still dont see what would be funny...
maybe you are just an uneducated tech clown who knows nothing of the law besides what your government forms tell you... and, rather than be curious, you nervously laugh like a 12 year old sheltered girl...
gay.
they interfere with companies who do not know or exercise their unalienable right.
period.
and rarely they will go after someone who has a legitimate case and bludgeon them publicly to further scare conformists like yourself off...
but yeah. you are wrong.
enjoy your stint as an officer of the federal government...
who is laughing now?
arrogance is a bitch. 
Reminds me of soviet political commissars
Ironically the Chinese are the heroes. They're pushing out SOTA models outside the US's jurisdiction.
(If the Chinese are indeed adversarial to the US, personally I feel like it's a 1984-esque propped up 'enemy')
Not if the technology is built on a resilient foundation...
Politics might prevent the open and public usage of a technology in particular jurisdictions, but it can't truly be stopped.
Tech is superordinate to politics. For instance, politics can't break Bitcoin.
Phew, it's a good thing we elected someone that plays by the rules. Close one
My first thoughts when reading this earlier was why not, distributed, decentralized AI, without any idea of the possibilities. Just ran into this Clif High post on X and what looks like great news.
clif is antiselenite, @clif_high
"Sooooo....gov't does not control their own bowels.
AI can't be stopped. Not even in the single country of the USA.
Spoiler alert....Our USA government has NOT read into Reggie Middleton's patents about smart contracts. They are not aware that such thinking can also support 'distributed, decentralized AI (in the current form like chat/claude et al)' with minor extensions to the functionality already covered by his patents.
Distributed, Network 'housed' AI is coming. Ain't shit the gov't can do to stop it.
New models of thinking produce new models of thinking. See...there's this thing...we woo guys call it "innovation looping". Well, they'll catch on at some point."
