@lex_node @tayvano_ Must be why Lawyers (cough cough) like them.

@Pansyfaust @tayvano_ if you're looking to Circle for a soul, I'd suggest adjusting your priors

Cannot believe these clowns had the audacity to say “with strong protections for user rights and privacy” You freeze legit people You fight their unfreezes You do nothing about DPRK abusing people and YOUR systems Pull your fucking head out your fucking ass. You suck.

@lex_node @tayvano_ I have no bone in this, i had no funds in drift. What i do have a problem with is rationalisations that protect no one and nothing and hide behind souless regulations as a guiding principle.

We obviously value heroes for a reason, but in the absence of good Samaritan laws they are also running huge risks (see Daniel Penny case) What I would never do is get angry because someone decided not to be my vigilante hero, which is basically what's going on with circle Maybe accept responsibility for depositing into a DeFi protocol you didn't due diligence properly?

@lex_node @tayvano_ The next time someone steals from you in broad daylight in a public place,please expect no one to help stop the theft or prevent them from moving your property because it's a moral quandry. So only law enforcement can stop theft as it's occuring?Are you retarded by any chance?

"illicit" in the absence of a court order is just your morality judgement "victim" in the absence of a court order is just your morality judgement "bad" is an obvious morality judgement morality cannot replace law 'trust me I'm a chain analyst' cannot replace evidentiary standards imposed in a court of law

@circle How the hell is this any different than you watching someone commit theft and then stand by and do nothing?

Recent events are a reminder that trust in digital assets depends on security, accountability, and the rule of law across the ecosystem. Circle is a regulated company that complies with sanctions, law enforcement orders, and court-mandated requirements. We freeze assets when legally required, with strong protections for user rights and privacy. More here: circle.com/blog/when-open…

@UnexpectedPippa Wife and I going on 22 years :) We got lucky early on in life.

@Pansyfaust Haha yes. We've been together for 32 years in total.

Just noticed that this weirdly spread to X too 😂 I don't even really know why it's blown up, it's literally just an anniversary video but 🤷🏻‍♀️ And for those people commenting, yes we do have kids. Yes we're both South African 🙄

Market climbing on news that American President is a lunatic is wild

@TrustlessState @ZeMariaMacedo Please explain what you understand by "destroy a civilisation" ?

@ZeMariaMacedo Anyone who thinks “against all of Iran” isn’t paying attention

Do you interpret the threats in Trump’s tweet as being threats against the entire Iranian civilisation, or against the regime specifically?

Has the IRGC considered just sending Trump an award?

@TraderPetri What did you like about Trump that negated his obvious vices?

You know, I liked Trump... but I have liked a lot of things that I have changed my mind on when evidence showed me that I was wrong. It's good to have strong opinions, but I must ensure that I am open to changing my mind when reality does not match the opinion I hold.

@CryptoKaleo In summary

I voted for Trump. I thought he was tolerable enough to survive for four more years to avoid dealing with the consequences of having someone in office who closely aligned with Democratic Socialist policies. I can’t defend this type of speech and behavior from someone who uses Christianity as a platform to gain sympathetic votes, rather than a true saving faith that guides their decisions. I believe men are justified not by works, but by faith alone in Christ’s finished work on the cross so that no man can boast (Eph. 2:8-9). But I also believe as James 2 says that faith without works is dead, and that the fruit of a truly changed life are works (John 15:5). Trump doesn’t speak like a man changed. He doesn’t speak with any love, compassion, or calculated and controlled strength. He only acts out of his own interests. The leader of the free world should never push for GENOCIDE as a solution for resolution of war, let alone anything else. This isn’t to say that there wasn’t some type of intervention needed in Iran. But I don’t see how anyone with a brain or a heart can support the way he speaks and acts in office. This is not a “Christian, conservative president”. This is a dictator in disguise.

Seeing the "i voted for Trump rationalisations" tour from some US CT people. Like, bro, you voted for a meglomaniac and now that the dude is hurting your bags and talking about Genocide, you are offering a half hearted mea culpa? Geddafuckoutahere!

@wawin There are real people on CT who voted for this. America is cooked.

‘Praise be to Allah’ on the day of resurrection is crazy

I lost $65,000 on crypto shit coins and made this movie as a result. Please enjoy the trailer. $POSITIONS

@0x_kitsune @zerolore @zachxbt Don't let perfect be the enemy of "good enough". There will never be a perfect system, & Tethers ability to freeze stolen or hacked funds fast without a court order is pragmatic solution,not perfect, but good enough. If they act bad, the market rewards that with "we'll now use y"

That is such a nebulous construct. How do we calibrate to their “best judgement”? Who determines “user’s best interests”? What happens when it makes a wrong call? What does the court of appeals look like? Why would we have a single, private entity that can turn money on and off? What was the point of all this then? My point isn’t that Circle is right, btw or that Tether is wrong per se. It’s that there isn’t, imo, a “correct” or “easy” answer and like any dilemma or trilemma, you have to make tradeoffs on the decision axises.

As always after one of these exploits it’s simultaneously comforting and shocking to see that most of CT (like @zachxbt) still doesn’t understand blacklisting, specifically for Circle and CCTP. Like, zero comprehension or connection with reality.

@Poplak Policing is national, whereas municipal roads repair and maintenance are run by a city. Is this not comparing apples to oranges?

Then there’s this. The Cape Flats have never been a priority for the DA, who are less a white party (and that they are) than they are a bourgeois party.

@wawin A whole generation of italian football players have never played in a world cup

Last time Italy went to the World Cup, bitcoin was trading at 600-700 usd

@EFFSouthAfrica VBS bank customers want their money back.

♦️Corruption Alert♦️ Christopher Pappas, the Mayor of uMngeni Local Municipality, who earns approximately R76,583.33 per month, is reportedly receiving an undeclared additional R44,609 gross per month to supplement his “relatively low salary.” This is a clear violation of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000, which prohibits full-time Mayors and councillors from taking other paid work without consent.
