GM to those undeterred by the shitcoin scams that keep adulterating the space and Bitcoin / Bitcoiners get clubbed because precoiners don't get it.
Congratulations y'all for being at the forefront of the first money whose supply increases less 1% per year. #halving

The UPI apologist class be welcoming this with open arms
FROM RED LIGHT CAMERAS TO FACE FREEZES
We have to think through digital dystopias to figure out how to defend against them.
As further context:
1) The west already has red light cameras for automated ticketing based on license plates, but this would be next level.
2) China is more capable of doing this with faces because they have a better state-level facial recognition database
3) And theyāve begun deploying face recognition glasses to their officers[1]
4) A āface freezeā like what I just described can be done by one officer with one click. Or even a drone.
5) The officer just needs a suitable camera plus access to the stateās AI and face recognition database. Itās ājustā a noisy join, mapping each face in a crowd to their personal details. Itās also totally asymmetric ā the crowd canāt do it back to the officer.
6) For good measure, the officer could send a push notification to every person in the crowd with their arrest, penalties, and court details.
7) They could even auto-debit their WeChat digital wallets for every minute they remain in the crowd. Like the ultimate red light camera.
8) Masks may help but gait detection can work around it, though that may be hard in a crowd.
9) Really the only true countermeasure is to put at least some of the personās digital resources outside the control of a centralized state. To decentralize.
10) As context, police have wanted nonviolent crowd control for a while. Bullhorns donāt necessarily work. And tear gas has side effects.
But a āface freezeā like this is scalable, nonviolent, asymmetric, and extremely effective. It really shifts the power to the state. Which is why we need to decentralize.

Spent a good few hours looking at the responses of self-styled/state-certified financial planners at the latest state attack on individual wealth creation and not one person spoke of exiting the shitty fiat game.

How the hell is someone supposed to do retirement planning with such stupid changes in taxation every few years.
Equity taxation changes every few years. REITs used to be fairly attractive but not anymore. MLDs are gone.
And now Debt funds.

Unfortunately for them and for those to whom they peddle their snake-oil financial derivatives they'll say "how-can-they?" or feel enraged momentarily and then go back to hunting for some other scammy fiat derivative

A friend got fired from Byju because he couldn't meet his sales target of selling byju tablets to only 40 rickshaw walas when he was given a target of 50 "rickshaw walas".
And before his HR informed he's fired he was removed from his "Bangalore Tigers" WhatsApp group.

Blue light lowers DHA in cell membranes of eye & skin ruining BAZAN EFFECT in the eye
The loss in the skin increases the DHA needs globally.
If you're a vegetarian/vegan who doesn't eat DHA

You my friend are fucked.
Tick Tock, clock is ticking.

Stop saying "house is a shitcoin" or laughing when someone else says it. The simple nuance in the argument is "the first house is not a shitcoin, the second house is".

Chainlink did a fucking "community launch event" in Goa today full of the smart contract garbage with no answer to the obvious oracle problem.
These scam artists motivate me some more to unscam people

Unbelievable, then undeniable.
Gradually, then suddenly.
