We all need to be very aware that what nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 is describing here is not some distant dystopian future. It's our dystopian reality.
In May, Elliptic, together with researchers from MIT and IBM, developed a dataset to identify "the shape of money laundering" on the blockchain.
This dataset attempts to predict money laundering activity that has "not yet been labeled" by distinguishing between what the dataset defines as "anomalous signatures" and Bitcoin transfers between "licit services".
Falling out of these clusters deemed normal by intelligence financed corporations already leaves you penalized. Avoid KYC services? Flagged. Can't tie your transactions to a bank account? Flagged. Frequent user of coinjoins? Flagged.
You are already being debanked because a computer program has decided that you are a money launderer – not because you did something illegal, but because your transactions are deemed abnormal – and you have no legal recourse as suspicious activity reports swear financial institutions to absolute secrecy.
It's the full on criminalization of privacy in finance. The future is here, and it's Orwellian.

I can't imagine any election that's not seen as an opportunity for other nations to interfere with, unfortunately. But it was not an explicit EU decision.
Romania: Protests Erupt Over Election Cancellation
Romania is witnessing a massive public outcry as more than 100,000 citizens have taken to the streets in a historic show of dissent. The unrest follows the European Union's decision to overturn the election results where ultra-nationalist Călin Georgescu emerged victorious, sparking widespread allegations of democratic suppression. The protests signify a significant moment of defiance against perceived external interference in national politics, highlighting the deep-seated tensions between national sovereignty and international governance.

It seems the decision to annul the election was made by Romanian judicial authorities, not the EU.

Seems this dude was strapping on his bomb vest with the intention to enter Trump building. Accidentally pushed the button.

If both are meant to be network topologies, it's not a fair drawing. The bitcoin diagram is suggesting peer to peer without a network.
I would think smart dust would not manifest as fog. It would be an invisible cloud investing our lungs without us knowing.

Humans are self interested by nature and for good reasons. Being self interested does not exclude empathy and caring for others. Truly caring for others can only be done from a solid base layer of self interest and love.
