@Erik @whiskeysailor
It won't be a surprise, but I honestly believe we'd have a better world if were to get a chance to replace part of these industries. And given the immense power these industries have over our policy makers, I don't see any other way to get rid of them. Bitcoin is unstoppable, it is 100% neutral and honest; it has no opinion that can be corrupted by wealth and power.
Anyone with internet can use it. Anyone with electricity can mine it. No permission required.

The German government just excluded 30% of the population from participating in their formal representative by not allowing unvaccinated people access to parliament.
So long for representative democracy, it's time we start taking steps towards real democracy.

TIL women in the are more likely to be raped by fellow soldiers than to die in combat and 1 in 4 female US soldiers have made reports of sexual assault. Way to go.

Bought a book for the kindle, started reading, and noticing the passages other people highlighted. And I realize what I had forgotten: to read on the kindle is to read before an army of bots, recording my every move. To read on the kindle is to play Dark Souls and see the scratched messages of the dead and dying who went before me. Welcome to the corpse book that brings no joy. I really need to dig out the forbidden Calibre wizardry. I should have pirated this book. 🏴‍☠️ #drm

It is quite disappointing that the one web browser to support @ensdomains resolution (@brave), by default sends your traffic through @Cloudflare MITM.

This defeats the entire purpose of #DPKI.

I think The Times was too early with declaring their person of the year. This man clearly wins.
