Yes, it is a bit unobvious.

So like, you are using iOS or MacOS and you're browsing with Safari.

You access a website which is protected by Cloudflare; perhaps that site is experience some DDoS attack in the most extreme case.

What they can do is show you a captcha and force you to prove you are human to access the site.

Or the privacypass model: some centralized service asks you to solve a few captchas well in advance, then provides you with blinded tokens. Later, when you want to access a site, you can bypass captchas by showing these tokens: they don't reveal you're the same person as the centralized service saw earlier, but they prove you *did* earlier do that captcha.

Apple now changes it a bit: now they are the central server, and, under the hood, the Safari browser sends a request back home to Apple for some blinded tokens. They are given to you because Apple can check that your device is "legit".

Imagine, as the article says, that they stop issuing tokens if your OS is out of date, or, they don't like you etc.

It certainly is an interesting idea/model, because the UX for most users will be perfect: no captchas, ever. But it is also potentially disturbing.

Some of my thoughts on the recent DRIVECHAIN topic..

What do you think the odds are that all these recent efforts to push additional assets into the L1 #Bitcoin chain such as taro, ordinals, inscriptions, and now #drivechains could just be attempts by the #tradfi regime to break the #Bitcoin miners economic Game Theory relating to the block reward and turn layer 1 bitcoin into a fiat printer? To me this seems probable as they likely need to figure out a way to sustain their mining operation investments without dumping piles of external cash into them should the block reward fall below the cost of production of the #Bitcoin reward in fiat terms (as we're still stuck in a fiat world) since most of these folks do not possess money printers directly. So rather than letting their miners go broke trying to keep the fiat price down and fund the operations by selling the Bitcoin for fiat, they can just create a bunch of BS tokens and junk in the blockchain that they can trade for fiat currency instead.

This would allow #tradfi more time to strategically position themselves and infiltrate key #bitcoin industry players (and influencers) before #Hyperbitcoinization and would also allow them to wait out some of the hodlers who will not be willing to take their Bitcoins to their graves in hopes that they would sell them back to them so they can control a Fiat price even longer.

Since I truly believe that they can't incentivize a lot of us hardcore Bitcoin mindset folks to sell for their Fiat currency, the thought by #tradfi is apparently that they will instead attempt to control a lot of the infrastructure for the future Hyperbitcoinization world or a world that they think they may have a chance at influencing the protocol development in some roundabout way to their benefit ( which I don't see plausible as I think we will see right through it all).

So far here's some main red flags I see from a self sovereignty #bitcoin maximalist perspective who's goal is to push self custody #bitcoin and has hopes for the separation of (all) states from currency:

- The largest #tradfi players snapping investments in the top big players in the #bitcoin mining space (Blackrock, Fidelity, etc.)

- The same #tradfi players + are all tripping over each other begging the SEC to green light spot ETFs as to be able to create even more paper Bitcoin. - This simultaneously attempts to get Main St to normalize counterparty risk in Bitcoin via #tradfi by investing and accepting their ETFs in lieu of Self custody BTC.

IMO these activities are all part of their goal of attempting to keep the bitcoin price in USD suppressed as long as possible and to do that they need to break the bitcoin economic game theory incentives built into bitcoin where miners are only rewarded with 21MM #btc and TX fees and make fiat other ways with their miners such as by adding #ordinals, #insciptions and are now seemingly trying to push for drivechains to get 💩 tokens in L1.

By breaking the #btc miners economic game theory with just the block reward (but now with ordinals, inscriptions, and if they have their way soon too be DRIVECHAIN bs tokens) they're hoping the price in fiat can be suppressed even longer while allowing them the ability to generate enough fiat currency stuff contained to fund their operations and more time to control even more of the miners and simultaneously hoping to wait out as many HODLers as possible in the hopes that eventually some will sell their #bitcoin and thus they can scoop it up for a relatively cheap amount of fiat which would allow them to control the fiat value of the #btc longer and in turn which would keep the fiat machine alive longer and hence the monopoly of currency in the governments hands.

Fortunately we can reject their plans of attacking the bitcoin miners economic incentive mechanism by not voting for their version of #bitcoin and running our own nodes. That said however I would not sell any of their forks that may happen as they'll likely scoop those up too and actually may drive the public perception that their chain is the true #btc as they drive it's fiat price up as to keep mainstream away from the ideals of the original #bitcoin ( decentralized, irreversible, confiscation resistant, separating money from state, no counterparty risk etc).

However the next few years play out it's going to be a very bumpy road and I am not selling any of my forks no matter how much Fiat they offer and will certainly never vote for anything that deviates from the original economic incentives that the miners have with the block reward.

We ofcourse already knew it but BlueSky is literally a piece of garbage. No better than X, Meta and all of that garbage.

I just logged in (after a few months) to see if anything had happened out of curiosity. I saw someone liked a post I did a while back (never used it much)… I forgot about the context so wanted to see the original post, and guess what?

My post was deleted. Nothing offending, nothing weird, just your regular dose of censoring… 🤮

What a shithole like all other social media shitholes. Images attached 😅

Nostr FTW

My new way to navigate Nostr:

1. Scroll all the way down and interact with all engaging content.

2. Follow people who engage with content I engaged too.

3. Bookmark all content I need more than 5 minutes to engage with properly.

4. Try to make high quality notes with bookmarked content.

Any feedback is welcomed 🤙🫂
