Like I mentioned somewhere else, it seems like a slam dunk(to me anyway) that the court will find XRP is a security layer the month.

I expect the SEC to go on a mass enforcement stint shortly after. They gotta get staffed up with a bunch of people who likely know close to nothing about the topic.

Is that a real account or just some rando posting all the articles?

Ironically Nostr is far less private to the average end-user. Everyone must really use a VPN unless you enjoy giving dozens of randos your IP address.

Ok everyone here we go. I'm copying @hodl and zapping 100 sats to anyone who follows me and retweets this post over the next 24 hours or until I run out of the 300k sats I've been zapped on nostr, whichever comes first. I will send an additional 69 sats to anyone who tags @hodl in a post and sends him a dick pic. (Add to this post a link for credit - pictures of Richard Nixon are acceptable). And an additional 41 sats if you send @hodl or me a public death threat. You are not allowed to make good on the death threat, however. Goes without saying, but I know that most of you are storing your pee in bottles in your bedroom. So it needed to be said.

I’m certainly not a big believer in unions but there is something to say for organizing in the name of closing the gap that exists because wages lag inflation. Companies will absolutely underpay their employees for as long as they can get away with it.

However, fiat unions are a disease.

Public sector unions are the real problem. Governments are not allow to fail like businesses. You can’t just fire management. You can’t shrink it. Etc…

Real estate prices in Ontario are holding up quite well considering high rates. Demand is actually fairly robust.

It will be interesting to see if this continues, as prices have skyrocketed in the last decade and many have called for a crash due to higher mortgage rates.

Debasement kills the working class and in the absence of a dollar that holds its value over time, assets are monetized beyond their utility value. This creates a wealth gap between asset owners and labourers working paycheque to paycheque.

If real estate prices hold or turn up it would be a very strong signal that Bitcoin adoption will accelerate amongst those who’ve feel left behind.

Thoughts?

Let's me get this straight.

When you get compromised by North Korean hackers and they take your money you're fine?*

But if unbeknownst to you they send you money you've violated sanctions and are liable for fines and/or jail time?

Got it.

* NK 2022 GDP estimates of $20B. Hacking revenues is a large proportion of their GDP. So this activity is quite common.

I don't believe in Democracy. I don't believe in nothing. Show me something new.

Is it possible to get RTF like font features such as line-strike in Damus?

The federal government locked you down, printed trillions, tried to force an experimental gene therapy on you, and crippled the economy in the process.

Now that same government is trying to drag you into World War III.

Maybe it doesn't have your best interests in mind.

The same government is now trying to gaslight you into believing that sovereign money, robust communication tools, and healthy whole foods are hurting you.

"Bitcoin is for criminals and uses too much energy."

"Open communication makes it hard to stop misinformation from spreading."

"Cows are destroying the environment."

"We need to send $100B+ to support a war in a foreign land."

These people are shameless cretins making the world materially worse off. They should be cast away and ignored.

Surely they would never change that principle given their previous commitments to user trust and after causing WhatsApp’s privacy focused founder/CEO to ragequit 😉

Just learning about the ongoing “Lockdown Files – more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages sent between UK ministers, officials and others – showing how the Government used scare tactics to force compliance and push through lockdowns.”

Do we know who leaked them? Was it someone at Meta?
