Asking a #bitcoin audience if they know what a staplecoin is... 🫣
Yeah great to see so many discussing it now. Crazy though, still so many everyday people not even taking notice of the fact. I still have so many friends and family that have no clue or just flat out disregard.
Welcome to nostr my fellow pleb. 👊
Will need to watch this back in the morning now. Hope it's decent. 👊
This is really poor.

It's been good so far. Personal highlight has probably been the RFK keynote. Although yet to watch back a few.
Bang on the money as usual Lyn. Glad to see he's not fighting against it anymore but RFK delivered an exceptionally educated keynote and came across way more trustworthy.
What did you think of his speech and did you catch RFK'S?
Trump's keynote was turbo cringe in large dose's. That said, he will likely get people around him that fortunately do understand Bitcoin.
All in, probably net positive for the space.
People can lose focus about while we all want this at times and get caught celebrating purely number go up mentality.
Still believe RFK gave a better speech and understands the issues at play.

Agreed. Very impressed with his keynote.
True that mate. Enjoy 🤘
Really enjoyed his speech to be fair.
We all need to be very aware that what nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 is describing here is not some distant dystopian future. It's our dystopian reality.
In May, Elliptic, together with researchers from MIT and IBM, developed a dataset to identify "the shape of money laundering" on the blockchain.
This dataset attempts to predict money laundering activity that has "not yet been labeled" by distinguishing between what the dataset defines as "anomalous signatures" and Bitcoin transfers between "licit services".
Falling out of these clusters deemed normal by intelligence financed corporations already leaves you penalized. Avoid KYC services? Flagged. Can't tie your transactions to a bank account? Flagged. Frequent user of coinjoins? Flagged.
You are already being debanked because a computer program has decided that you are a money launderer – not because you did something illegal, but because your transactions are deemed abnormal – and you have no legal recourse as suspicious activity reports swear financial institutions to absolute secrecy.
It's the full on criminalization of privacy in finance. The future is here, and it's Orwellian.
This was mega interesting..
