Good morning! Uncle is taking a break from social media, but with BTC hitting $53K, I thought I'd drop in with some positive energy and sats for you - I'm zapping every reply 🫂

developers will need to enter into a commercial agreement with Apple, request the NFC and SE entitlement, and pay the associated fees. This ensures that only authorized developers who meet certain industry and regulatory requirements, and commit to Apple’s ongoing security and privacy standards, can access the relevant APIs.

"The thing I'm most disappointed about - there was not a single person from the other side of the aisle at the conference." - Zach Bradford, CEO of Cleanspark. Bloomberg TV today.

As a bitcoiner, and a shareholder, I'm disappointed by that abject blindspot. We all make mistakes, but those of us closely paying attention and in active leadership roles can do much better. It'd be great if he corrects his misstatement on such a big platform.

Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.
