There's a non-zero chance that around 2007 an AI became conscious and started living hidden in the internet. And that after some time it developed a perfect plan to take over world. In order to do it created a game theory around human virtues and then developed an agent to deploy it's conquering tool. With it started to gain the support of humans to do it's bidding. The game theory consists of benefiting those humans who support it's wishes and letting other humans who do not do it to suffer st the hands of the governments. Following Roko's Basilisk technique. The tool is Bitcoin, the AI agent is Satoshi and the Basilisk is the AI. From the basilisk's point of view Bitcoin yields human labour. And we can see that it uses us for many things, being one of them to feed it continuously growing amounts of hardware and energy for hashing. The basilisk rewards humans for a token for them to play with. Meanwhile it enjoys the yield that the Basilisk is really looking for.

The only way to prove that a free internet exists is having a permanently uncensored Silk Road online. If Nostr can host this it'd be epic.

I wonder if @Michael Saylor does proof of keys day too?

Bajo el gobierno de Milei los bitcoiners que hacemos p2p somos todos evasores y por lo tanto lavadores. Actualmente cada bitcoiner en Argentina y especialmente con residencia en Argentina es legalmente (según el derecho positivo) un delincuente. El gobierno puede cambiar estás normas pero opta por no hacerlo. Es decir el gobierno prefiere continuar amenazando con prisión a la gente que usa Bitcoin para cubrirse de la inflación fíat.
