When is the last time your politicians and bureaucrats were held accountable?

Government regulation of AI could be the best thing to happen to Bitcoin.

For one it is already drawing attention away from Bitcoin and this will only increase as it accelerates. The longer Bitcoin is under the radar the better.

Secondly, the cat is already out of the bag - no amount of regulation can stop AI now so if Government is stupid enough to try all it will do is force people either to break the law or move offshore.

But this is important because people will see that tech regulation like this is both meaningless and counterproductive so having it happen around AI first would be of great benefit to Bitcoin. Not only will we have more learning of how to deal with an adversarial State, but likely it will soften more people to Bitcoin and make them curious if it too is then banned.

Whilst I completely reject the doomerism around AI and think these end of the world scenarios are foolish, I’m now inclined to support government intervention if only to help Bitcoin by proxy.

Nice, do you know if it will come on Fountain?

One of my favorite things about nostr as is today is that it feels relatively private.

Not quite ready, it appears

An average of 2 cents collected from 1200 zaps in ~6 hours totalling $30. The legacy system has no chance of pulling something like this off nostr:note1h80ajcxn75kr6xqksrqyx5nqh6yw7nncn7el5ntdwmd5vmc4hvcqnkr65g

I believe it’s only supposed to be about 5 seconds. Mine hung like that once too. Try force closing Damus and reopening. That seemed to fix it for me.

I learned that in China, there is no private ownership of land, and only the right to use a building is recognized, and the state can seize this right due to national circumstances.
