Landlords and real estate investors have an increased need for privacy and security being in the public eye. Please consider your posture and read some stories of our clients at https://deltacharlie.tech/
We also made a free, self guided email course to help real estate investors get started in protecting their privacy and security, link at the top of the page.
A very good move with a focus on the future. We recommend keeping privacy in the forefront of your thoughts and actions as the trending environment, especially for landlords/investors, is only going to become more invasive with surveillance and government overreach.
We created a site with true stories of our real estate investors clients, as well as a free, self guided email course at https://deltacharlie.tech/
When the ruling class gets compromised, in your typical, run of the mill hack, they can afford to recover. Regular citizens, unfortunately cannot. Prevention is the best cure, which is what we teach at https://deltacharlie.tech/
Powerful and influential individuals possess a unique ability: the capacity to delegate tasks to others. This privilege arises from their access to vast resources, including financial wealth, networks, and influence. By leveraging these assets, they can assemble teams of experts to handle various aspects of their lives.
Moreover, influential people often surround themselves with advisors who provide expert guidance, allowing them to make informed choices.
In essence, the power to delegate reflects not only affluence but also the ability to prioritize and maximize impact, creating a ripple effect that can shape industries, governments, and societies. It exemplifies the symbiotic relationship between power and the capacity to effect change.
It's insane to say "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." https://cdn.nostrupload.com/mcafee_privacy_nothing_to_hide_nothing_to_fear.mp4
Even AI knows that's false: https://deltacharlie.tech/46038
The entire economic system is a house of cards. As a former financial professional, I can assure you that most "advisors" cannot explain money, inflation or anything else that matters. Many financial advisors will never recommend bitcoin or real estate because they do not get a paid on it.
In the pursuit of job security, individuals sometimes inadvertently complicate their roles. Fear of redundancy or a desire to appear indispensable can lead to the introduction of unnecessary processes, convoluted systems, and redundant tasks. People might overcomplicate to create an illusion of indispensability.
Did this come with a link to an external site? I do not use this wallet. I am not able to see where the scam is unless there might be a fraudulent site set up to capture seed phrase. nostr:nprofile1qqs9cjlnu4yxs0tpldetuh6gct0lpn63jqdemkvward30rh72ghryhcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyexscqr nostr:nprofile1qqswum4p82uluhz2dr40nvdrflspffntgqghc58w9fs57nx6jkdkuaqppamhxue69uhk2tnwdaejumr0dsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy08wumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0wphhqatvv9eqal5zn8
Nostr is a protocol. Social media apps, and other apps, are built on top of the nostr protocol similar to the way yahoo and gmail are built on top of the email protocols POP3, IMAP and SMTP. Web pages are built on top of HTTP and HTTPS.
Nostr has developed apps beyond social media to include payment networks, podcasting, long form blogging, linktree/resume style pages. The strength of nostr for social media is you can avoid "jumping" from platform to platform having to rebuild your following. Your key pair is what matters, and you can take the keys with you to every platform without losing your prior content.
Exchanges are going to fail, just like banks. I am all for mass adoption, but going about it using the traditional financial system (which is what causes financial problems) is going to put us in exactly the same situation we are in now.
I believe two of the core philosophies of bitcoin are self reliance and financial sovereignty. So why are so many people wanting to put bitcoin on exchanges and have more government intervention?
If we do not self custody bitcoin, and rely on an exchange, it is no different than taking dollars you earn, and putting them in a bank: they are not your dollars anymore.
This trend of regulation is going to make bitcoin the thing is was designed to fight against. The corrupt financial markets are going to take the wonderful invention of bitcoin, and corrupt it the same way gold was corrupted with leveraged derivatives, and the same way the dollar has been corrupted with the ability to "print" new dollars into existence.
When exchanges fail, just like banks fail, I think the government will seize all that BTC and hold it, the same way it seizes other assets.
If an exchange fails, and a government shuts it down like a bank, it is no problem for the government to print dollars to reimburse the customer, and keep the bitcoin for itself. Especially if the scam FDIC is going to start insuring exchanges the way they do banks.
The whole system is a scam. So why are we playing more into the scam? Keep bitcoin in the free market, away from centralization, and let it do what it was made to do, which is be in the hands of the people using it. Learn to use self custody, learn the tools.
Can we get some input some anyone living in Europe at the moment? Jack...you're an influential person, what is the word so far on this eye scanning spyware?
OpenAI's Sam Altman-backed Worldcoin introduces an iris-scanning crypto plan to authenticate every online human. Launched on July 24, the project aims to provide a private means of verifying human identity amidst AI advancements. It garners mixed reactions, as some laud its ambition while others find it dystopian. World ID serves as a digital passport, using biometric data to prove humanity. Privacy concerns arise despite claims of data non-retention. The project's token gains traction on exchanges. Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin discusses potential and risks of biometric proof-of-personhood, addressing security, privacy, and ethical issues. Jack Dorsey and Anita Posch voice concerns about centralization and data management.

>Owning Your Digital Life;
Our online lives are increasingly #public. The #data trails left by our browsing, shopping, messaging, and more generate insights prized by tech giants. But convenience has a cost. Loss of #privacy changes how we think, create, explore.
What if we reclaimed control? Below I'll share resources to help safeguard your digital #rights, make informed #choices about #tech, and participate in building a more #decentralized web. Small steps by many can reshape our relationship with technology.
>Know Your Rights;
· Review the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Our rights to privacy, free expression, and more apply online.
· Understand laws that protect online privacy where you live. In the EU and UK, GDPR is a key framework. In the US, state laws are expanding.
· Follow organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation that defend digital rights through advocacy and legal channels. Their guides explain key issues.
>Take Inventory;
· Catalog where your personal data goes. Make a list of accounts, apps, services you use. Who can access what you share?
· Try a privacy audit. Document your security settings, terms of service, app permissions. This illuminates risks.
· Deactivate and delete unused accounts that hold your data. Start fresh where you can.
>Enhance Privacy;
· Use encrypted messaging apps like Signal or SimpleX for your sensitive chats.
· Switch default search engines to more privacy-focused options like DuckDuckGo, StartPage, or roll your own Yacy or SearxNG node.
· Use a VPN to cloak your browsing. ProtonVPN and Mullvad are vetted choices.
· Opt out of the data broker economy. Sites like https://www.datarequests.org/ facilitate this.
>Get Savvy;
· Learn how tracking technologies like cookies work. Browser plug-ins can help identify them.
· Understand how your data gets used for advertising or algorithmic profiling. Follow experts like Finn Myrstad.
· Discover digital security basics through training resources like Security First.
>Explore Alternatives;
· Instead of Google Docs, try encrypted open-source office suites like CryptPad.
· For video calls, Jitsi Meet is a more secure open-source option than Zoom or Skype.
· Try decentralized social networks like #nostr instead of Twitter or Facebook.
>Teach Others;
· Help friends and family audit their privacy settings or install encryption apps. Teaching multiplies impact.
· Advocate for digital rights, online privacy and media literacy education in schools and communities.
· Support initiatives that increase access to secure technology for disadvantaged groups.
Our digital autonomy rests on individual and collective action. We can nurture a future where technology serves human dignity, not surveillance capitalism. What steps will you take today? Share your ideas!

People Still "Think" in Dollars Because of Reserve Currency Status
One habit I notice many have is still measuring price and value in dollar terms. When I first meet with people and try to understand where they are in their bitcoin education, they have to "undo" the thinking of measuring in dollars. Similar to thinking in feet instead of meters, although the world uses meters.
I feel once people can adapt their thinking, and are able to measure things in multiple currencies, like dollars, euro, bitcoin, and commodities, they will unlock what bitcoin can really do for them.
It's like how experienced travelers can quickly measure things in multiple currencies. It might help to imagine the Internet as a country you can virtually visit, and bitcoin is the currency of that country.
It seems the sarcasm was lost...the nature of text based replies...
We are not ALL trying to do something. Bitcoin is pretty straightforward after the learning curve. It is money. It is a payment network. It is code.
I am not trailing anyone, or anything. By using the phrase "outpace" you are categorizing bitcoin as a traditional investment, and comparing it to all the other traditional investments. I agree completely that bitcoin does "outpace" all the other traditional investments, albeit with the risk and volatility. However, I do not try to correlate, or compare, anything to bitcoin because it is the first invention of its kind. I treat it as its own category and have spent years refining my material to explain this to people new to the idea.
Contrary to who's or what belief, about the foundation being more solid? I have always stated that the foundation of bitcoin is nearly indestructible. It is the people, and all their flaws, that cause the cracks in the societal use of bitcoin. The code itself is solid, and I have always said so. The bitcoin foundation is more solid than gold or real estate because those are both physical items that are at the risk of societal and environmental changes. Bitcoin however, lives in code, and does not have that risk.
The unpredictable factor, is yet again, your attempt to bring bitcoin into the traditional investing world. Bitcoin is absolutely predictable: tick tock next block. At year 2140, no more mining, halving every ~4 years or 210,000 blocks.
What you are referring to as being unpredictable is the price of the bitcoin. Fluctuating market conditions are a construct of a man made markets, subject to manipulation. People do not follow their self interest, they follow emotions. Emotions are always manipulated. It is rare and disciplined investor than can forego emotions and make decisions as logically.
Bitcoin maximalists do not reveal 100% of their portfolios because, just like traditional financial professionals, they do not want to be subject to scrutiny. I will bet a majority of bitcoin maximalists also hold a diverse, well rounded portfolio of traditional stocks, bonds, own businesses, real estate, etc.
You are telling people to become bitcoin maximalists, and the artwork in your posts suggest a cult like obedience. I am suggesting people become educated, informed, well rounded, diversified.
это забавно
After being in bitcoin for nearly 10 years, I have to thank you for clarifying that I do not understand it. I guess the moves I've made, and the people I've helped are doomed to suffer from the ignorance I've demonstrated.
I also thank you for calling out the "poor investments" of my diversified portfolio. I guess after investing for half my life in a variety of profitable, exciting things that both provide services, and enrich my life, and the lives of those that worked with me...I still don't understand.
Money is never a goal for me, it was always a tool, to learn, to be used, for the purposes of whatever the project was at the time. It is about the things money can buy, and the freedom it can bring to you and others you share wealth with. But...I just don't understand.
I guess real estate does not do that. It doesn't provide homes for people. It doesn't provide space for people to open a business, and sure doesn't provide land to productively farm.
You're also right in that gold and silver do not provide liquidity, and do not have a history of being reliable. I guess if you decide to sell your bullion today, when you walk down to the local store, they'll turn you away and tell you to get those shitcoins out of there, and come back when you are selling bitcoin.
Thanks for clarifying all that.
Gold and real estate are not shitcoins. When maximalists of any sort go all in on one thing, the risk is much greater. Most of the world are not risk takers, and do not want to really learn the different between money and currency. Gold and bitcoin are money. Real estate is not money, but a good store of value.
There is no logical reason not to be diversified into all of these. Include silver, buying businesses, and building a business yourself.
This, along with investing in your own education, is a realistic, strong plan to diversify against risk.
We made a free course on the fundamentals of privacy and security. Self reliance, and good education, and patience are better than trusting outside entities with important information: https://deltacharlie.tech/

This is significant. Would you want to have a conversation about this? This investor has experience in both worlds, and generational knowledge.
Real estate is traditionally a very slow moving industry. Bitcoin adoption will take a very, very long time.
Real estate investors can explore a self directed IRA, because it allows both real estate and bitcoin.
