LOL. “Qatar shares our values”

ROFL.

This is hilariously idiotic, but can anyone expect more from Tucker? Or even from you, Flash?

This is pathetic

I agree with MOST of what you are saying in this post, but feel it’s important to point out that governments *can* track your wealth if you buy on centralized exchanges — which most people do. Various politicians have been proposing a wealth tax in the US which would be easy to do with ₿ by simply comparing the amount an exchange states you purchased against the amount you report you sold on your tax return.

Further, governments are going to get creative in finding a way to tax ₿. For example, France recently proposed a new rule for what they deem “unproductive assets” in order to specifically target cryptocurrencies. I don’t if either of these will come to pass, but it shows they are making an effort.

Lastly, I should point out that this is what really bothers me when nostr:nprofile1qqs2xs05tluhtr6hpgsmqqxp04898gayjlyrjlexcrndv8j6el784xqpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezua3sdshxjmcpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wca8edre refers to bitcoin as “digital property.” We pay property taxes on property! Rather, IMHO, we should be referring to bitcoin as “digital currency,” which it is, so that it’s not taxed differently (or additionally) as we would with holding any other currency. At most, if we had to compromise we could settle on calling it a “digital commodity” if that would bring more fairness within the regulatory landscape.

Some of the best deep house was made over a decade ago.

Precisely

One thing that intrigues me most about a publicly verifiable timechain is that it could be used it as a verification for news events. I’m not talking about clogging up the blockchain with images. Rather, if a news outlet wanted to run a story, or a famous person wanted to announce something on their own, they would publish a transaction from their publicly known wallet address.

I’m not saying this would eliminate AI slop and deepfake stories but, if enough people were using bitcoin to timestamp important statements with small transactions, any story or announcement NOT using this method would be viewed with skepticism. I’m also not saying every story or announcement needs to have an associated transaction… just really important/essential ones.

It’s crucial that journalists and public figures be able to prove something happened IRL or that they said/didn’t say something.

I can’t be the only person who has thought of this. Am I missing something nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycpr9mhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uq35amnwvaz7tms09exzmtfvshxv6tpw34xze3wvdhk6tch2tkdy ?

Clown

THAT is a better position to take, and it would be beneficial to keep such humility in mind before spouting off opinions that are incorrect and ignorant, or repeating what other say, or piling on just to emphasize groupthink.

The world is far mor complex than even the smartest of us can understand. It’s a sign of below average intellect to claim certainty.

If you thought there were less than 100 countries in the UN, there’s probably a lot about the world (and this conflict) you “didn’t realize.”

‘Biometric Exit’ Quietly Expands Across U.S. Airports, Unnerving Some

The program, in which federal officers take departing international passengers’ photos, is set to grow, raising privacy concerns.

holy fuck are you bad at math

Wow

Qatar complaining about anyone sponsoring state terrorism is… man, what’s the word I’m looking for?

That’s cool.

Are you allowed to ride on it if you ask what significant events took place on June 5th, 1989?

Wait until they hear about what’s happening in Sudan, or the Congo…

This is unfair.

Even when I butter bread, it isn’t this smooth.

“SW devs pled to the unlicensed money transmission conspiracy, in exchange for dropping the money laundering conspiracy.

Keone, who was required by the judge to state his criminal conduct in his own words, gave a careful allocution that accurately stated that it was the SW users, and not the software, that “transmitted funds.”

https://twitter.com/zackbshapiro/status/1950573332451016856

This appears to imply that the *only* reason for SW users breaking the historical links between transactions is money laundering, rather than simply good for privacy. That’s not good for anyone who used the service for legitimate, legal reasons. The prosecutor is trying to put taint on coinjoins.

Is it interesting that the Palestinian Prime Minister understand that Hamas is a violent, cantankerous obstruction to peace, but people who’ve neither lived in the region, nor visited, nor able to point to various towns on a map, nor even cared about the area for more than a year, are still hellbent on supporting Hamas.

Baffling, for sure.

Hanlon's razor:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

In this case, it’s a healthy mix of both.

Normies aren’t paying enough attention to how AI agents will transact with each other. It will NOT be via traditional rails, which are incapable of processing micropayments.

As Jordi points out on CNBC (with an erudite perspective that’s rare on that channel), Stablecoins are a bridge for Trad-Fi settlements.

Bitcoiners will use Lighting (via their own nodes, or Lightspark, or CashApp) for transactions, and hold their own keys for savings.
