F*ck Centralized Stablecoins

🤣 SBF sank FTX, not CZ. CZ just forced it to blow up before it got any worse. 

USDT also buys US debt and so it props up not only the dollar as the dominant currency but invests in the fiat regime buying fertilizer then making bombs until you starve. USDC is openly conspiring with BlackRock to dominate real world assets and tokenize the world under a fiat regime. DAI and others are pegged to FIAT ponzi tokens so if they print a gagillion then DAI is still not going to buy that missing food supply. BTC is the only stablecoin and 9 of the top BTC mining pools are actually 1 pool we just found out, and they are at 47% of the hashrate, close to a 51% attack. Action is needed to secure against this attack and force people to dump the ponzi tokens for hard currency.

Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto

Only witness testimonies constitute a rational reason to think he could be Satoshi. Though compelling, one says it was a mistake to trust him after saying they saw him sign with SN's keys on an untampered  computer. Regardless of the truth, it's hard to prove he didn't pay people to say this or  perform some kind of trickery they could not spot. Until he actually moves a satoshi to another wallet, there is zero actual evidence he is Satoshi. 

\
If he wanted to settle this, he could just move it all to a new wallet *after* announcing it. 

\
Beyond this, every other reason you believe he is SN, like being a qualified developer with similar goals to many other BTC devs, being there early on, and being able to win a court case- prove only that he could pull it off, not that he did.

\
None of it is a rational reason to believe he is anything but eccentric. You could say he's clever and as a dev maybe he is, but his handling of all this (rather than moving funds) is more in line with behavior of a con artist asserting a claim he cannot prove. 

\
Finally, Satoshi’s writings sound different, alluded to moving on, and much more that’s fully inconsistent with Craig's statements and actions, as I wouldn't call leaving your own project to fork it, “moving on to other things”.

Defi trends in 2022: How to Enjoy Them With Secure and Anonymous KYC

Permits are for otherwise illegal activity. I need no permit or identity to permit me to trade as it is my lawful and natural right to do so. Anyone who has reason to believe I am not who I say, or am committing crimes, has the right to charge me under the law, where I can prove my identity to a jury of my peers. Any attempt to require me to do so as a matter of course, constitutes sedition, and is illegitimate. The original and only motivating use case for biometric ID databases is to do what IBM machines did for the Nazis- enable mass genocide, enslavement, and murder of political opponents. This “show us your papers” BS cannot be stopped by requiring user consent as this can be coerced. Any attempt to abstract or otherwise decentralize or limit ID access to this data, does not change the fact that it enables genocide and eugenics (even if one has to be coerced into “showing them your papers”). This makes everyone working on KYC “compliance” a willing accomplice to Nazi tactics that enable mass murder of dissenters. You can call me Pepperidge Farms because I WILL NOT FORGET such sedition when I am on the jury.

Why Bank Collapses are Good News

Yeah the bank collapses are a deliberate move to choke physical supply while they simultaneously print the digital version. It's a kind of paradoxical alchemy where the value is low because there's so much digital dollars in the system, yet physical cash is scarce. So the tax man and telecom companies will still take the cash, but they value it like the digital stuff. And also they burn it. Eventually even if it takes years, people are taxed and starved if they don't take the offer. So it really isn't good for crypto, or freedom at large. But I say unto you that you shall regret bending to tyranny. Go peer to peer and do not bend and do not waver. 

GPT Automated.. Again

I have been playing around with Poe's implementation of GPT3.5, 4, and bouncing code from them and Anthropic's AIs (Claude, and Sage). Because we don't all have access to “OpenAI”. Would love if someone could integrate the unofficial Poe api so we can have them collaborate. There's also Vicuna. And depending on their training sets, merging them or having them collaborate could give us generalized intelligence in my opinion. But that's not the same as superintelligence. It can still be wrong and argue with you etc. GPT5 or 6 however, might actually be something no human can argue with effectively even if it is wrong.

Men Are Scared of AI: Why?

They're panicking now because two years ago all of this AI coming out was considered to be a decade off. They were wrong. Not because of identity politics. Considering an AGI could go from zero to competing with an adult in 30 min (like ones learning to play games better than us) the fact is that the threat wasn't taken seriously and now they realize they underestimated it. The problem is that much like other technology, laws will not stop this. You need one of these in your pocket that companies and tyrants don't control and which is as good as the next guy's (or gal's) AI.

Outside The Bitcoin Echo Chamber: Here's Why I'm Not Stacking Sats

Meant to say 45k there, but the point remains that the volatility of the banking system contributes, and people don't realize that stocks and other assets aren't just going up and down based on their own value and supply, but that of the underlying currency.

\
As for transaction performance and fees, BTC's layer 2 Lightning network mostly solves that, and provides added privacy, in spite of it's drawbacks. It enables you to stream rewards to podcasters and many other things without need of a third party bank etc. So if you think BTC is useless you probably aren't trying very hard to use it. 

If someone sees protocols that allows secure payments with no intermediaries “speculative assets”, with no utility, they clearly are not a Canadian trucker or Ukrainian/Russian locked out of the banking system by tyrannical forces. 

\
If currency that people have to invest energy and work to maintain is considered to be a speculative investment, then gold and it's usefulness as a conductor, corrosion resistance, malleability, etc. would also be considered speculative. The reality is that gold coins, and BITcoins have intrinsic value as currencies just as pieces of eight outperformed other forms of currency in their day as useful payment instruments.

\
If you consider BTC to be volatile, you are also likely not factoring in the fact that some of this is due to perception. The dollar lost one third of it's value due to money printing/inflation, so when BTC was at \~70k, this is more like 25k in 2019 dollars. 

\
The correlation with other assets is due to macroeconomics such as interest rates and wars etc. causing a failure in the system where necessity causes a mass sell off of ALL assets, starting with liquid assets like BTC. The “You will own nothing and you will be happy” WEF mission is designed to cause UN nations to implode their economies, blame fall guys they propped up, and get you to sell off everything, shut down production, and live in a VR cage. BTC fixes this.

Oh AGI, Can You Feel Me?

Garbage is garbage out. Intelligence does not bring discernment. 

\
If you tell an AI that protesters killed 4 officers it may believe you and try to solve problems based on falsified information the same way the media told you that and you tried to make sense of it in spite of the reality that not one died there that day. Officer Sicknick had a stroke the next day, one Officer Evans was hit by a car in April, and Officers Hashida and Smith eventually killed themselves. 

\
But if you told an AI the same propaganda that you swallowed, it would assume protests were violent, and officers imperiled, and reach the same incorrect conclusions. 

\
If you tell an AI that climate change is a problem, there is no guarantee it will understand the Sun as a driver etc. It may be told you are the only influence. Expecting the AI to give solutions is like expecting a priest to tell you how to grow crops. He is going to tell you the eclipse is because the Sun god is mad, and if you sacrifice someone to appease the gods and it doesn't work, the AI will just say you suck at this.
