ASIC is monitoring Telegram groups for pump and dump scammers 😂

ASX shares pump-and-dump crew hit with criminal charges by ASIC

This is a nonsense study, read it yourself. It set out to find Bitcoin to be apolitical and friendly to leftists and what do you know, they designed a study to find exactly that! The extrapolations in political views in a left/right binary, bundling in people who confused crypto with Bitcoin as owners, zero consideration for stack size or hodl time or 50+ other things which would have disproved the thesis. Take a simple metric - the longest hodling Bitcoiners you know. They likely hold more than all of the ‘owners’ in this survey combined and thus individually have more social, economic and political potential - Bitcoin is not a democracy. Are those early hodlers “very liberal” or “very conservative”? No, they’re very fucking anarchist. Not libertarian, not minarchists - they got in early to fuck the system entirely. That’s not captured in a “population level survey”. One of those individuals outweighs the entirety of this biased study which these lefties put together because the American right wing of politics has suddenly become more friendly towards Bitcoin and the leftists don’t want to be cut out. This is nothing but a weak attempt to shift the Overton window by a bunch of democracy lovers who are terrified of an actual change to the socioeconomic order that Bitcoin represents.

Crowdstrike have released their PIR for the shitshow last Friday. Despite taking seemingly half the world offline, I’m not sure the conspiracy theories that this was deliberate and a trial run for global cyber attacks hold water.

The United States is being presided over by a head in a jar. Absolutely comical at this point.

Mentally ill Bitcoin Core developer’s (achow101) excuse for not acknowledging and then slow rolling the response to Peter Todd’s recent security vulnerability report is they haven’t liked his past “antagonistic” behaviour. Good to know that Andrew (she/her) is actively policing language with regards to the security of Bitcoin. Absolutely nothing to see here. This is completely fine.

This seems like the most plausible scenario to me. Since when does a nominated presidential candidate dropout of the race via a Xitter statement not on offical letterhead and with his old signature, with no video or press conference? Biden didn’t know he was getting rolled and will be forced to take the deal (money & pardons) because the news cycle has already solidified before his demented old arse could act to halt it.

The United States number 1 export is inflation. What will replace it when the world no longer runs on dollars and there is international competition in money?

#Nostr is low time preference, but it is going to eat the whole internet. It’s the most important technology since #Bitcoin. The incentives of nation states with their failing fiat currencies lashing out to try and control everything to keep their ponzis afloat, whilst AI-bots come online en masse will render the centralised/permissioned/KYCed internet practically useless and pretty much guarantees this is how things play out. We’re early, but nostr’s S-curve is going to outpace Bitcoin and drag it along with it. View quoted note →

So embarrassing for them

Crowdstrike issue is causing absolute carnage in Aus. Flights are grounded, supermarket checkouts are down, banks are down, taxis are down. Crazy stuff!
