Yesterday, I didn't have a favorite UFC fighter... Still don't know the name or anything else about my favorite UFC fighter, but now I've got one.
Tornado Cash? Needed a banking license. Samourai Wallet? Needed a banking license. WhatsApp, Apple, X, probably all need licenses too.
Sounds retarded? Correct. That's why the SEC has proposed a rule to formalize licensing requirements for communication protocols.
In a speech at the annual U.S. Treasury Market Conference, Gensler announced to rule on proposed amendments to the Exchange Act by November, which expand the definition of the term "exchange" to mean "systems that bring together buyers and sellers of securities [...] (i.e. "communication protocols")."
Critics argue the rule may be weaponized to criminally indict software developers given the already hostile environment for crypto- and privacy devs.
If this rule passes, we are fucked beyond comprehension.

Fuck 'rules'. I barely can bring myself to give a shit about 'laws'...
Is 'coronary heart disease' related to 'coronary artery calcium score'? I had that done two years ago and they found 'definite, at least moderate atherosclerotic plaque', but of course offered me nothing but some pills, which I didn't take.
I assumed it was age, but my (5yr older) wife then had it done a year later and they said they found ZERO, so I was kind of concerned, but have no idea what to do.
I've always been someone who could eat absolute crap without immediate or short term problems, (meaning upset stomached etc), but I'm thinking 'enjoying' that for many many years may have helped cause the problem.
For the last few years I've been keto, but when the wife is away or out for the night I'd go get chinese and some tastykakes etc for dinner and desert. Because of my 'iron stomach' I'd be 'fine' and get back to keto the next day, but now I'm confident I was still doing long term harm..?
Don't want to waste more of your time, but if you have any good resources that talk about 'coronary artery calcium' could you share them so I might get an idea of what I have and what I can do about it?
Actually they're trying to destroy the republic, and using democracy to do it.
Aside from that absolutely they have been trying to destroy this republic for more than a century now, and lately have been very successful.
Give this a listen, there's a log of good sense in it:
One advantage us egomaniacs have had in this modern world. We find it very easy to say, now that we actually ARE right.

Oddly thins question made me almost immediately think of the end of Brian Eno's "Blank Frank" : "Blank Frank is the siren, he's the air-raid, he's the crater. He's on the menu, on the table, he's the knife and he's the waiter.
Because here's the thing; it seems to me that bitcoin is the protection from political upheaval, and bitcoin IS the political upheaval.
The modern Radical:
Doesn't buy useless shit.
Chooses NOT to be miserable.
Never been a better time to be a radical.
Looks like a fun, grown up version of battling tops.
Every single dollar that is 'spent' on Bitcoin is another 'dollars worth' of REAL value that is removed from their Fiat system NEVER to return.

Anybody remember in Groundhog day when Bill Murray drives the truck off a cliff into into the quarry? Chris Elliot looks on and says 'he might be OK. . ?' And then the truck explodes and he says 'No, probably not now.'
Anybody remember a year or two ago when nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n said "Pennsylvania is Fucked."? And I looked on and said "we might be OK..."
I use Primal and half the time Guy Swan shares something I see it four to eight times in my feed. If I refresh the page, it goes back to one. It will even tell me I have eight new notes when it happens.
One other person I follow I get the same thing, I don't recall who though. Makes me think it's an issue on primal as the if I'm on Ditto.pub I don't see it. But again, in my case if I refresh the page, it clears up.
It seems to me both.
As Jack often notes when people in our age group were kids there was 'THE fat kid' at school. Now it seems the not fat kid is the oddity.
We often ate potato chips and fries, but even mcdonalds fries were made in animal fat not seed oil. The rest of our food was similarly 'better than now'.
Also, if we wanted to play video games, we had to at LEAST walk down to the pizza shop, or all the way to the arcade, which was quite a hike. So if we 'played video games all day' we still got a LOT of exercise.
I can't believe these charges again P Diddy. He's such a great guy. Nice. Positive role model. He's like a modern bill cosbey...
