It won't be a surprise, but I honestly believe we'd have a better world if #Bitcoin 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.

US has been destabilizing oil producers for ages, so now Russia needs only the slightest bit of intervention to put them all into chaos - driving up the cost of oil and bankrolling WW3.

Request for input. I've always been annoyed that the #US doesn't have a proper adjective and therefore claim "American". But what if you want to refer to, say, America.. Is there any alternative adjective that people use?
#China uses #coronavirus tracking system to prevent people to withdraw money from their #banks by flagging them as positive.
Tell me again we don't need separation of money and state.

If I were an employee at #Microsoft, I'd use the MS Office source code to build an #AI bot that helps people write office suite software by suggesting the next code character based on your cursor position. I'm sure it would help someone write FreeOffice and GPL license it!

We have been conditioned by corporate news media and proprietary social media to react and comment to every sensational headline, every controversial news story immediately. Outrage boosts engagement, which brings in more money for these companies. Don’t play their game. And don’t feel like you have to do that here in the #fediverse. Sometimes - I daresay most of the time - the best thing to do is take time to process, understand, learn, and think before you say anything.

The #government might be on your side today, but it might not be on your side tomorrow. #Democracy is about empowering each individual equally, not about having a violent police force tell the majority what they can and cannot do.

This video only barely falls short of saying private property of #housing and majority-rule representative #democracy don't make sense. Obviously if they did it wouldn't have been published. But they said enough.

A consistent anarchist must oppose private ownership of the means of production, and the wage-slavery which is a component of this system, as incompatible with the principle that labor must be freely undertaken and under the control of the producer.
