Trump’s digital financial technology executive order is just politics as usual.
In theory, the government makes decisions in the people’s best interests. In practice, the government makes decisions in big business’s best interest.
That’s why the government promotes garbage food, harmful drugs which don’t work, constant warfare, etc.
The centralised shitcoin industry was a huge donor to the Trump campaign. As a result, centralised shitcoins are likely to be promoted by the government. It’s just the way politics work. Trump even established himself as shitcoiner-in-chief before assuming office.
Bitcoin may benefit by being included in any US initiatives or reserves. But Bitcoin will suffer because officialdom will legitimise centralised shitcoins.
Some very good points here, particularly relating to mining centralisation. nostr:note1rzms9m7l73e36fqjddd9uucad9x6msuwzgh9geyuwxjlnu649xzqlf3wr9
This little corner of the English Lake District is every bit as magical as it appears to be here. The photograph also looks particularly good in print, which is the natural form of a panorama.GM
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die…

Just started reading Neuromancer (published 1984), which features… The Matrix.
Been offline. At first I thought blimey, the flooding is bad round your way…
North Llyn? I was thereabouts briefly this summer, tramping up a hill or two.
I should have looked more closely - I can now see the ‘Leica M’ on the top.
Beautiful-looking machine. I’ve never used one.
I have a Hasselblad xpan. The aesthetics are very similar, so at first glance I wondered whether it was a differently branded version (they were also sold as Fujifilm, who I think made all of them). Must dust it off and get out with it soon.
As we’ve always known west of the Pennines - there’s nowt as queer as Yorkshire folk.
Great stuff - bring that knowledge back.
A huge pleasure finally to meet the man (nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m) who zapped me my first sats over Nostr. Thanks for that, and for taking the time to meet with so many of us random Bitcoiners!
Strong t-shirt game all round there. Solid work.
Good conference?
Establishment media and regime academia are preparing the ground to blame Bitcoin for the inevitable future fiat and tradfi crises.
