OVERCOME DISTRUST WITH BITCOIN

Last week I had the opportunity to share my experience at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit about using #Bitcoin to address #AI fraud in the case of financial exclusion/transnational repression and attempted election fraud.

The main question of the Summit was how to overcome distrust, especially when new technologies in combination with AI that can both enhance and undermine it. Alliance of Democracies Foundation, brought amazing experts, including Peter Erben from The International Foundation for Electoral Systems, Annette Kroeber-Riel, Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy at #Google in Europe, and Nanna-Louise Linde, Vice President of European Government Affairs, #Microsoft.

My role was to present my experience and examples of the Bitcoin blockchain technology that civil society is using right now to protect electoral integrity, rule of law and human rights around the world from artificial intelligence fraud.

After all, it is not only smear campaigns or AI fraud that undermine the integrity of elections, but also by cutting off the financial resources needed for independent candidates to run. So Bitcoin technology helps to restore the trust and civil rights, for example:

🧡 protection against massive smear campaigns with AI abuses that lead to the financial exclusion and discrimination of the candidates running for elections, activists, and independent media inside authoritarian countries like Kazakhstan, Belarus, Turkey or lately, even in India.

🧡 provides tools against transnational persecution of critics of authoritarian regimes living abroad.

Transactions via bitcoin's p2p wallet are the only tool to protect such groups in non-democratic states.

🧡 Last, but not least, Bitcoin can safeguard the most important documents that used to determine election results: back in 2023 the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in #Guatemala was able to safeguard so called “raw material” – over 150 000 images of the vote tally sheets thanks to the created solution that they called the "Immutable Backup". This solution is based on the Bitcoin blockchain technology from a startup called Simple Proof. In that way Guatemala’s people were able to protect their input to determine who won the election. These documents were made available to the public in real-time in order for any citizen to be able to audit the process as it happens.

Bitcoin is helping to restore trust based on proof of work. 🧡

Do you see a big impact on your work coming with the European elections? Looks like a massive move to the right.

Die Deutsche Mark diente dem EURO als "Vorbild".

Was wird wohl das Vorbild des digitalen Euros sein?

Is there a legal defence fund for tax evasion? And do I have to pay taxes on the funds? If yes, how do I evade these taxes?

Going in circles.

The donkeys tend to back mullahs more. Donkeys are generally friends with IR tyrants.

Though I'd go for a libertarian candidate if there was one

the elections are for my local council, and in Germany. most of the candidates never left the country and global politics shouldn't be an issue 😆😆

I still live there, but right now I am in Germany.

I remember asking you for a training or some tips. That was not long before my friggin accident that nearly killed me. I'm good again but my pain tolerance is too high, my doctors and my kickboxing trainer keep telling me to go slow with sport right now. So I stick to my basic kettlebell sets and pushups. No impact or contact sports right now. It's frustrating because I feel absolutely fine, everything is healed up and nobody has a clue why I don't really feel pain.

I don't know if I stay in Switzerland. I finished my masters and got three job offers. Two in Zurich and one in Zug. And for the Zug one I don't even have to live anywhere near by.

Let's see how I decide after my well deserved summer beach holiday 😆

We should donate more helicopters to tyrants, it's a good investment imo...

Elections are coming up and I don't know where to put my cross.

Maybe I should give all of them a vote, just to be safe.

The problem with a company running a social media public square is that they have a lot of monetary incentives to comply with censorship or to sanitize things through deplatforming.

In current Twitter’s case, even though they are less reliant on advertising now, their primary owner has much bigger business interests in cars and rockets, so the incentive structure is one that points to Twitter complying with strongmen leaders’ censorship requests to ensure that those bigger car and rocket companies don’t get blocked out of those markets (eg Turkey or India). Even if he would prefer otherwise.

A lot of people don’t realize that Twitter used to fight international censorship attempts in various countries more, and under current leadership it’s *quicker* to comply with censorship in many cases, with less of a fight. Twitter’s current marketing angle is to be known as the free speech platform in the US, but then to quietly comply more readily than ever before for censorship requests in other places like Turkey or India.

That’s why Nostr is so important.
