I deleted the Twitter app from my phone. I am sober now for more than 2 weeks. No more senseless scrolling...

Just found this on Notes: image Ecoinometrics May 22, 2023 Bitcoin’s correlation to the stock market topped around the time BTC bottomed. Are we ever going back to an uncorrelated pre-COVID era? I felt the same that with the US banking crisis, Bitcoin uncoupled from stocks again.
Leseempfehlung: Demokratie kann viele Tode sterben. Dieser Befund mag für die Schweiz verwundern, wo für viele die Welt noch in Ordnung scheint. Doch schon ein Blick ins Nachbarland Deutschland zeigt, wie sich die Erosion der Demokratie vollzieht: Verengte Debattenräume, Ideologisierung des politischen Diskurses, Ausgrenzung Andersdenkender, der Rückbau von Gewaltenteilung, Rechtsstaat und des „Prinzips Verantwortung“ in der Politik. Noch schlimmer sieht es auf der Ebene der EU aus. Das „große Friedensprojekt“ schwenkt um auf ein Cheerleading für den Krieg. Die ohnehin nur umrisshafte Demokratie kippt in einen bürokratischen Autoritarismus. Es geht in Riesenschritten zu immer mehr Überwachung, Fremdbestimmung und zentralistischer Lenkung, flankiert von Lobbyismus, Vetternwirtschaft und Verleugnung westlicher Werte.

Twitter Privacy Settings Published by Michael Fischer In our blog series on how to improve PrivacyAndSafety on the internet, we already learnt the following: Thanks for reading PrivacyAndSafety! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Welcome message: How to go underground on the internet: How to create an anonymous email: How to create an anonymous Twitter account: Privacy comes with some restrictions and sometimes need effort to get a satisfying user experience. Remember that you want maximum privacy with the least restrictions. You do not want anybody to hinder your free speech or filter content “for you”. The standard Twitter settings filter content, for example you cannot see double tweets or sensitive content. What is sensitive content? Twitter decides for you aka filters what you see and what you don’t see. To have a maximum Twitter experience, customize your Twitter settings. Log into your Twitter account. Click More. Click Settings and Support. Click Settings and privacy. Click Privacy and safety. Click Audience and tagging. Click Photo tagging. Turn off photo tagging. Go to Settings and privacy, Privacy and safety. Click Content you see. Enable Display media that may contain sensitive content. Click search settings. Disable Hide sensitive content To receive all tweets from other Twitter users, turn off the quality filter: Go to Settings Go to Filters Disable quality filter. Quality filter, when turned on, filters lower-quality content from your notifications, for example, duplicate Tweets or content that appears to be automated — it does not filter notifications from people you follow or accounts you’ve recently interacted with. You have the option to turn this on or off in your notifications settings. (Instructions listed below.) To set filters on twitter.com: Go to your Notifications timeline. To filter your notifications, click on Settings. Click on Advanced filters. Check the box of your preferred filter(s) to turn on. To set filters using Twitter for iOS: Go to your Notifications timeline Tap on the gear icon Tap Advanced filters. Drag the slider next to your preferred filter(s) to turn on. To set filters using Twitter for Android: Go to your Notifications timeline Tap on the gear icon Tap Advanced filters.Check the box of your preferred filter(s) to turn on.

What Happens if the US Defaults on its Debt? Posted May 16, 2023 by Nick Maggiulli On January 19, 2023, the U.S. federal government hit its $31.38 trillion debt ceiling and has since been unable to borrow more money. To get by, the U.S. Treasury has resorted to “extraordinary measures” (including redeeming investments from government pension funds) to continue funding its operations. Unfortunately, these extraordinary measures are dwindling. As U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently noted, unless Congress raises (or suspends) the debt limit, the U.S. government may run out of money as early as June 1. Read more here:
The US starts fighting crypto: DOJ's Head Of Crypto Promises A Crackdown On Exchanges, Mixers, Tumblers and Scams "The top US cryptocurrency enforcement tsar is promising a crackdown on illicit behaviour on digital platforms, saying the scale of crypto crime has grown “significantly” in the past four years." "The Department of Justice is targeting crypto exchanges along with the “mixers and tumblers” that obscure the trail of transactions, said Eun Young Choi, who was appointed director of the agency’s national cryptocurrency enforcement team last year." "The DoJ is targeting companies that commit crimes themselves or allow them to happen, such as enabling money laundering, she said." “But on top of that, they’re allowing for all the other criminal actors to easily profit from their crimes and cash out in ways that are obviously problematic to us,” she added. "The focus on platforms would “send a deterrent message” to businesses that are skirting anti-money laundering or client identification rules, and who were not investing in solid compliance and risk mitigation procedures. "The DoJ’s crypto unit aims to bring more enforcement actions targeting investment scams, as the volume of funds lost to such schemes has ballooned from approximately $900mn in 2021 to more than $2.5bn last year, according to victims’ reports to the FBI." "Choi highlighted “pig butchering” schemes, which are named after a Chinese phrase referencing fattening pigs for slaughter, and involve scammers building relationships with victims over the long term." "The DoJ is also focusing on thefts and hacks involving decentralised finance, or DeFi, Choi said, particularly “chain bridges”, where users can exchange different types of digital tokens, or nascent projects with codes that are vulnerable to these attacks."
