Decentralise politics and decentralise democracy, it is the only way. Bitcoin as private money is a delusion concept otherwise, and Nostr as a private relay is equally as hopeful. #An0myl0u5_Net #DePol #Decentralise_Democracy Thanks for the reminder @Saberhagen The Nameless

BTC is a 3 letter word made by a 3 letter agency change my mind? 😆 Still doesn't mean it can't be fixed, every problem can be fixed with the right tools, materials and method. Some problems like a virus ridden HDD are best to nuke it and start again. I mean this is the risk we have, a 'manhattan project 2.0'. A dilemma whereby some crazy tyrant and his crazy evil scientist believed this atomic chain reaction would destroy the whole world and universe... And they did it anyway!!!! 😱🤬😂🤣 What good is anything if we let these lunatics, psychopaths and tyrants rule us? #BTC #An0myl0u5_Net #DePol @Vyram Kraven let's get this discussion going dude. What are the problems and what are the solutions? I am not suggesting BTC needs nuking and a new crypto developed. I am not developing a cryptocurrency. Decentralise the politics and return to democratic control. Turn the tables before you lose it all. ⬇️replies welcome below⬇️ 😁

Deputy CIA director: Bitcoin is now a matter of national security

Deputy director of the CIA, Michael Ellis, says that the agency is increasingly incorporating Bitcoin as a tool in its operations.

This is dark. How did I miss this all these years. You could just get a telephone number 'network service API' type phone number, which would give you access to all the numbers which are on the network!?... So when I call your phone, we connect Via this OTHER phone number which acts as an API or a conduit which allows for telephone number address routing and engineers network servicing. It would seem telephones are just like modems and the usual network management type routing, calls are turned to data packs and this 'global title' handles them all. It would seem ALL calls and texts are routed through these 'global titles' aka phone numbers. And ANYONE can lease these NOT just law enforcement. So why get a warrant when you can legally do it through an engineering or market research shell company?.. This kind of thing is obviously open for abuse, why would you lease what is essentially access to everything on a telephone network? And to people who are not being vetted either, then sandbag on solutions. Maybe the money was too good? If you steal yourself enough money to get a lease you can steal a lot more, and they won't stop you as long as you pay well 😅 Anyway Again SHATTERING the idea of ANY kind of privacy whatsoever. Direct communication is possible in many ways. What is secure is I suppose only a matter of time, something that is impenetrable today can be weak tomorrow. Things that are being abused by design are an issue of true self sovereignty and and enforceable democratic governance. #An0myl0u5_Net #DePol
