This is why CBDCs will fail miserably! They can for sure try.

Se7en (1995) — directed by David Fincher and starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt — warned us about the dangers of surveillance and KYC long before it became normal. Back then, what Somerset describes would’ve sounded like blatant government overreach. Even illegal! Today, we hand over our IDs to companies like Coinbase without a second thought — companies that have a track record of leaking user data. How did this become so commonplace? When did constant monitoring become acceptable? Here’s the quote from Se7en (spoiler alert): Somerset: See, for years the FBI’s been hooked into the library system, keeping records. Mills: Mmhm. Assessing fines? - No, monitoring reading habits. Look. - What? - Certain books are flagged. Books on, say, nuclear weapons and, well, Mein Kampf. Anyone who checks out a flagged book has his library records fed into the FBI’s computers then on. - Wait, wait, wait, how is this legal? - Oh, legal, illegal. These terms don’t apply. - Oh. - YouYou can’t use the information directly. It’s just a useful guide. It might sound silly, but you can’t get a library card… without, uh, an ID and a current phone bill, see? - So they run a list. - Precisely.

If you’re a Bitcoin content creator on YouTube, you've come across scammy comments in which scammers share their seed words, claiming they need help moving their funds. It’s been going on for ages. I even considered blacklisting the wallet names they tended to mention, though that would’ve caused false positives. Thankfully, I haven’t seen such comments in a while. Seems YouTube has finally caught on!

I found this idea really convincing: training to failure makes your body prioritize “survival” over accuracy. I watched the video below a while ago but only recently started applying its lessons. One of my goals has been to hit double-digit pull-ups, but I always used to fall short—well below 10 reps. Now I’ve started spreading my pull-ups over 5 sets instead of doing 1–2 sets to failure. I’ll keep you posted on the results. View quoted note →

GM! 🚨 My full interview with @Justin (shocknet) ⚡ is out! He joins me to discuss why Spark and Ark are fake L2s. I’m still open to learn more, but I found his arguments quite compelling. What do you think? Watch here:
