I agree with their take. The chart comparing robot cost to human cost per industry is scary. The time to make it in life is now, as in right now, before you become obsolete. There are a few jobs I would say won't ever be replaced but not many. Then again you do have to factor in how hard governments might try to stifle innovation in order to protect jobs which might delay the inevitable a bit.
If you know anyone who uses opiates make sure they know about the never use alone hotline. They can call it any time, 24/7, and the operator will stay on the phone with them while they do their drugs and call 911 for them if they stop responding. Because of the social stigma around drug use, many addicts often use alone to hide their use from others, which leads to many unnecessary overdose deaths. This mitigates that somewhat, but only if they know about it, so spread the word. 877-696-1996
I am so confused, the Treasury Department removes the sanctions against Tornado Cash which is fucking awesome, but they do this three days after they expand financial surveillance on cash transactions, lowering threshold for reporting from 10,000 to 200 in thirty zip codes.

Whatever benefit you may get from something like an Amazon Echo, just isn't worth the complete destruction of your privacy that comes with having a corporate listening device in your home. At least with your phone's microphone you have much more control.

If you support gun control to combat gun violence take a moment and think about how gun control is enforced...it's enforced with gun violence. Gun control is when violent thugs with guns are given permission to beat, rob, kidnap, and/or possibly kill you if you have an illegal firearm.

Disturbingly, the cursor on the site is a Molotov cocktail. Yet another example of how important data privacy is. The site will supposedly remove your data if you sell your Tesla but I have to wonder how easy it will be to get a reasonable price for one at the moment.
"A website called “DOGEQUEST” has posted on a searchable map what it claims to be the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners across the United States, and says it will remove the data if an individual proves that they have sold their Tesla. The map also includes the addresses of Tesla dealerships, the rough locations of Tesla superchargers, and the personal information of employees of the Elon Musk-headed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)"

I have zero sympathy for fired federal workers. You signed up to work for a corrupt, evil, and criminal organization and get paid with money stolen from taxpayers. Many of you create no value for the world. You want me to feel bad for you? Fire all of them. Every single one.
Will civil asset forfeiture be the "budget neutral" method for accumulation of BTC for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve? Keep your computer encrypted and logout anytime you get up from the keyboard. The state doesn't need to actually prove a crime to take your BTC, I think they found out about this guy's 100+ BTC because they saw the Ledger Live app on his laptop.
It's a CPU mined proof of work privacy coin sharing a similar ethos as Bitcoin. No VCs, no premine, anon founder, donation funded community development, decentralized, anyone can easily run a node or mine it. Its mission has been to create private digital cash. All transaction amounts and sender/receiver addresses are encrypted and private. It's one of the very few altcoins that actually gets used for anything besides speculation.
Do you know a good place to learn more about this specific kind of attack? I was having trouble finding much information about it other than the breaking monero video.
If you are trying to keep two identities separate when using Monero, don't generate receive sub addresses from the same seed phrase, use sub addresses from one seed for one identity and from a different seed for another identity.
If you don't than you can get targeted by what is called a Janus Attack, which can link your sub addresses together if they all originate from the same seed. This only matters if you are giving out receive addresses to get XMR sent to you, not for sending XMR.

For those who still use Telegram there is a new vulnerability to be aware of.
Someone on another platform that shall not be named asked me this when they saw my post about how the US having a large portion of BTC's supply is a bad thing, "How does owning lots of bitcoin allow a nation state to control the network? I don't see it as an issue personally. For global adoption nations states and corps were always going to have to be holders."
To which I responded, "I dont think I said anything about it allowing them to control the network, controlling the supply is still an issue. Price manipulation is easy when you control that much, they can dump on the market, crash the price, and then buy up people's coins any time you want.
If price goes up enough they can use the massive purchasing power to buy up ASIC miners and then they will have influence on the network and could collude with other nation States to support contentious hard forks or even do 51% attacks although the 51% is unlikely at least.
Yes, they were always going to be holders but they remain an adversary for the network itself, so the idea is to try to keep the amount of coins nation states control to a minimum not actively encourage them! The state has direct incentives to prevent people from owning Bitcoin, controlling the supply is a way to do that."
Was I correct or incorrect in these worries?

This is how you know Michael Saylor doesn't understand Bitcoin if he wants a nation state to control up to 25% of the supply. The point is to escape state control not strengthen it.

People think they can change things by voting and working within the system. Only this doesn't work when the government doesn't even follow it's own laws and ignores the constitution on a regular basis. The system has failed and needs to be dismantled, not changed from within.
The idea of a crypto summit at the white house kind of makes me cringe. I'm all for deregulation, that's good, but the heart of crypto is fundamentally opposed to the state. Make crypto scary again, fuck all this cozying up with the state bullshit.
That's why I like Monero so much, the Monero community doesn't give two fucks about ETFs and Blackrock's Model Portfolio, or banks being allowed to custody crypto, strategic reserves, or politician pump and dumps. The Monero community just cares about creating digital cash that is completely outside of state control. It cares about ensuring you can hold wealth that is safe from confiscation. It cares about the ability to transfer value anywhere without being spied upon.
Shout out to all the devs who have ever put work into $XMR and it's ecosystem, they are doing God's work. It's not glamorous and it's not very rewarding financially since it is funded by donations and not venture capital. There was no premine or token sale. These people just fucking care about freedom and are willing to fight for it.
The events of the last two months with LIBRA and trump's memecoins and now this strategic reserve tweet pump and dump have burnt me out and just makes me appreciate even more the purity of the Monero community. These people are keeping the dream alive.

Hope you didn't sell your bitcoin lol. I learned long ago...you never sell your bitcoin. Anyone who was shorting crypto just got wrecked.
