That’s 16-1 odds on the the largest economy in the world voting in a proBitcoin and Nostr president.
He’s said he will make Bitcoin capital gains tax free, meaning you could use it as an actual currency and perhaps even use it to back the USD. 😂 Can you imagine?

The #censorship of social media accounts by the US gov was way worse than I could have imagined.
The hearing today was an eye opener and really makes it obvious why Nostr is so important.
If the powers that be can control what millions of ppl see (and more importantly don’t see) on social networks, it makes me wonder how much they control the mainstream narrative as well. Probably more than I imagined.
This is just one small example of the censorship of one story:

I think the bigger risk is that depending on how many 'coins' are in the Trust, they may actually influence which fork becomes 'Bitcoin' and if that new forked version is less secure, or has some other flaw, etc. it could ruin Bitcoin.
To play this out, consider if Roger Ver was the person running the BlackRock trust. Would he have 'won' the fork wars? What would that mean for Bitcoin post fork, if BlackRock supported what is now Bitcoin Cash.... would it have just become Bitcoin?

2023-06-16 05:22:15

- reply

So weird, because the trust would still own the 'Bitcoin' that goes off on the other fork... so why would it be framed as some choice they have? Wouldn't the trust just legally own the coins in each network?

I've thought about this issue a lot. The changing legal landscape, including in Canada def. poses a risk for relay operators. They are going to fall into the regulatory capture of laws passed with Facebook etc in mind. Its not much of an issues right now, but as Nostr grows, I see a lot of potential for claims and subpoenas to be directed at relay operators. Governments will want to subpoena IP addresses of users that relay operators capture.
One viewpoint may be that if there are multiple relay operators, it gives law enforcement more avenues of attack, to go after a relay operators in a jurisdiction that has a legal system that will force the operator to comply with gov. requests etcs.

For what its worth, you may want to raise with Apple that Guideline 3.1.1 says:
- If you want to have payments to ‘unlock features or functionality’ within your app then you “MUST” use in-app purchases. Damus lightening payments do not ‘unlock features or functionality’. So that doesn’t apply.
- The section that deals with tips says that apps “MAY” use in-app purchases for tips. It doesn’t say they “Must” use in-app purchases for tips. In my view, their statement in the email to you that “tips” associated with receiving content from digital content creators “MUST” use in-app purchases is not what their guidelines actually say.
Here is the relevant section, verbatim:
“Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to “tip” the developer or digital content providers in the app.”

“Why is the US dollar part of the trade between Kenya and Djibouti?” Ruto said. Arguing that intra-African trade must take place using local currencies and using the mechanisms provided by Afreximbank, in order to increase fair trade between nations...

Fox News is a right wing propaganda machine. I don’t watch it, but this is VERY concerning.

You don’t have a right to not be offended by Tucker Carlson, or anyone else.
Liberal policy seems to be to get everyone to watch the CBC.

I agree with this. Nothing the SEC is doing suggests Bitcoin is a security, or that they have any means to stop it.

One of my biggest fears on #censorship is ISP level domain blocking.
YouTube can block content they deem to violate their (often vague) rules. The day that happens more overtly at the ISP level is the day the internet dies.
RT is obviously state-funded Russian propaganda. They publish obviously anti-Western media. Should we be afraid of that? No. They should be allowed on YouTube.
They were initially banned for Covid 'misinformation'. But as of today, the official reason is because Russia's invasion violates their 'violet events' policy, and RT is funded by the Russian government.

I hope in the years to come there is a deep study of all the things the media told us during the pandemic.
I accepted that the whole 'Ivermectin is horse de-wormer' line, and that only crazy people would consider it.
In fact, in July-August of 2021 the NIH published this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8248252/
It states:
"Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally."
A month later, on August 30th 2021, the 'follow the science' CBC was basically mocking people for calling animal feed stores to try to get Ivermectin.
They said feed stores received a "deluge of calls"... "because of misinformation that suggests the drug, usually used to deworm horses and other livestock, can be used to treat Covid-19 in humans."

This should be concerning to Nostr and Bitcoin devs, especially if you have ever received Sats, tips, bounties or grants (like the one @npub1sg6…f63m gave @npub180c…h6w6 for building Nostr).
“The [Cyber Resilience Act] imposes liabilities for commercial activity which bring vulnerable products to market. Though recital 10 of the proposed law exempts not-for-profit open source contributors from what is considered “commercial activity” and thus liability, the exemption defines commercial activity much too broadly. Any open source developer soliciting donations or charging for support services for their software is not exempted and thus liable for damages if their product inadvertently contains a vulnerability which is then incorporated into a product, even if they themselves did not produce that product.”

In November 1988, a graduate student at Cornell University named Robert Morris, Jr. inadvertently sparked a national crisis by unleashing a self-replicating computer worm on a VAX 11/750 computer in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Artificial Intelligence Lab.
Morris had no malicious intent; it was merely a scientific experiment to see how many computers he could infect. But he made a grievous error, setting his reinfection rate much too high.
The worm spread so rapidly that it brought down the entire computer network at Cornell University, crippled those at several other universities, and even infiltrated the computers at Los Alamos and Livermore National Laboratories.
