Great saying (never heard that before) - very true though!
I'd like to see this discussion, but with a focus on how smart contracts and blockchain can solve this...
There will always be evil people in this world--and it's always good to occasionally be reminded of that...
Would rather see a desktop client...

Went to the grocery store again 😆

At least you have food on the shelves--stores here are running pretty bare lately...
GM Nostr!
Happy Tuesday!
Another absolutely gorgeous day! Going to have some friends over (so have to get ready for that) but otherwise, nothing on the agenda!
Time for some coffee though!!

"The paper it's printed on..."
Oh...wait...
Impressive! Now THAT is talent!!
Knocking your noggin' seems to be a guy thing--I do it all the time! 😃
Great city - you'll have a wonderful time!
Open source is the only true way to provide security. Using anythinng that is closed source you have to trust someone else.
(As an aside I don't understand why there aren't open source voting machines--but that's a good example of the above).
GM Nost!
Happy Monday!
Looks like another beautiful day outside...
Going to start with a beautiful warm, tasty coffee!

I like how this St Louis Fed post blames people for banks’ failings.
Flip it around. Banks irresponsibly created way more claims for gold than they had gold, kept defaulting, and lost trust. So the government made gold illegal to own for like 40 years.
There was no “shortage” of gold in the Great Depression. There was an excessive amount of fraudulent promises for gold, made by commercial banks and central banks.

Wow--what a crock of ... gaslighting
I suspect if you put in your Tesla VIN you may be surprised...
"I have nothing to hide..."
While you were busy making fun of the UK for criminalizing free speech, the UN finalized its Cybercrime Convention which will overrule bank secrecy and criminalize hacking, whistleblowing, and security research.
The convention, which was finalized last friday, drastically expands government surveillance powers and enables the widespread sharing of personal data between UN member states.
The convention mandates the identification, tracing, confiscation and seizure of "proceeds of crime, property, equipment or other instrumentalities" and the collection of real-time traffic and content data on behalf of requesting member states.
It further mandates member states to establish criminal offences for "the concealment or disguise of the true nature, source, location, disposition, movement or ownership of or rights with respect to property" and "the conversion or transfer of property [...] for the purpose of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of the property" when committed intentionally.
As the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains, the convention includes "documents saved on personal computers or notes stored on digital devices. In essence, this means that private unshared thoughts and information are no longer safe. Authorities can compel the preservation, production, or seizure of any electronic data, potentially turning personal devices into spy vectors regardless of whether the information has been communicated".
While the treaty defers most articles to the governance of local laws, it states that states "shall not decline to act [...] on the ground of bank secrecy".

Hair movement on the right shoulder...
Really makes you wonder - how can a company like this not take sufficient steps to protect this data?
(And there'll be no consequences--if it was a hospital, there'd be huge fines)
Agree--Exodus is the best tool of which I'm aware...
