Nothing to do about IMO, this has been the case for a while now, being able to fake news or any kind of media, and with AI and rendering technologies further improving and getting more distributed the barrier of entry will be even lower and the quality higher.

Like you said, reputation and multiple reputable sources on the same event will be a way into certainty, but we know any given source viral enough will spread further and fastest than the fact checking, so the only ultimate solution (again, IMO) is critical thinking at the individual level.

Control on the models and how public and private companies employ AI can go along way, but like you said regulation is not the solution especially when it is so clearly unenforceable.

Blockchain wise, perhaps, there is indeed a way of preserving truth by distributing it enough that history is accurately preserved as it happened, and not as the victor or the richest wants, although I wonder how would that apply, if at all, to the ever accelerating news cycle and fake content.

I'm grateful for Bitcoin as an alternative into sanity in the long term though, otherwise this Fiat distopia would get hopeless really quick. It's still going be wild and get weirder and weirder the better we are at simulating reality without the constraints of the real world.

You gotta give it to the french (Irreversible, Martyrs, Inside, Haute Tension, Seul Contre Tous) for taking it, if not too far, at least all the way.

An entire global financial system based on easy money, vibes and 'trust me bro'.

Progress since the (previous) halving.

Amethyst just wants you to stay humble.

Yeah maybe they should try and get some of it while it's cheap... you know just in case it catches on.

Currency peg to a central bank you don't control, reserve currency credibility, embargos, stealth operations just to protect your wealth... this is why Singapore (and every sovereign fund in the world) will end up adopting Bitcoin: https://vimeo.com/935393972

Just going by this note it seems to me it's rather a blatant currency speculative attack and it'd be hilarious if the IMF accepted it (they won't, because El Salvador's Bitcoin position is already making them look bad as it is and this would only turbo charge it).

Fun times. PV
