Thanks for the link. For anybody questioning authenticity, that person shows his source here

Which in turn takes from this NBC video posted in this tweet.

It does appear to be an actual NBC segment, with a very heavily edited photo.

Vaccine fatigue. Everybody should have seen this coming.

It is quite funny to see the unvaccinated have better results than every other group, across all age brackets.

I'm still on the fence about Brave search. I use it as my primary right now, but searches seem to return establishment sources first.

From my limited reading, it does sound like Monero has addressed some of the problems with Bitcoin. I definitely need to continue to learn.

As the IT Director of a health care company, and with a background in software, I'm quite familiar at some level with all aspects of technology. And frankly, nobody has ever been able to answer my questions about blockchain with anything other than some form of "You just don't understand it, boomer."

Again, If the blockchain ledger is public, then government can gain control over it. How do you know whether or not the US government already controls 50%+1 of the Bitcoin ledger servers in existence? How could you tell?

Edit: For a sufficiently motivated government (the US government seems to be pretty motivated these days) what prevents this: https://braiins.com/blog/how-much-would-it-cost-to-51-attack-bitcoin

The only way everyone watches that transaction is if the transaction is done on a public ledger. So again, what's stopping the government from taking over those centralized servers?

So if I have an offline wallet on a USB thumb drive, and I make bit for bit copies of that thumb drive, what's stopping me from spending the same bitcoin multiple times?

Either a transaction is offline or it's online. If it's a totally offline transaction, there's no way for the receiver to guarantee authenticity. If it's online, it can be tracked and/or denied by a server under government control.

I don't think she said anything people didn't already know was coming. Governments weren't just going to let people continue to circumvent their monetary systems of control.

In my mind, the problem with crypto is this:

  • If crypto is centralized via a public ledger, exchanges, etc, then it is controllable. What's to stop the government from controlling the centralized servers?

  • If crypto is not centralized via private wallets, etc, then it is not trustworthy. What's to stop someone from counterfeiting coins?

I'm sure the crypto kiddies will call me a dinosaur, and tell me I'm missing out on huge profits, But I'll stick with my PMs, thank you very much. As I always try to explain, crypto can't be both a get rich quick scheme and a currency. It can only be one or the other.

That's nothing. In the US a person can walk down the street, smear shit on someone's face, and get out of jail for free. Now that's freedom baby. America, fuck yeah!

That assumes they know where the funds are going. GSG could be using a brand new account to transfer from, leaving the tyrants with no idea where the money is coming from or going to. And they would get major pushback from large corporations if they just started blocking all inbound wire transfers.

I for one would find it funny if it took covid19 to confirm the 40 year old conspiracy theory that HIV/AIDS was created in a lab, and Fauci was responsible for everything.

HIV was the first attempt to create a pandemic, but people actually got scared and stopped spreading it. Fauci realized his mistake was trying to create a deadly pandemic. The better approach was to create a weak but easily transmissible virus, and use that to get people to beg for the "cure" which is in fact the real deadly pandemic.
