Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
English
why would anyone even press blue?!?

🧵 THREAD 1/ They are coming for open source software. Not by banning it. By requiring identity verification for anyone who contributes code. No more anonymous developers. No more pseudonymous contributors. No more building tools without attaching your real name and government ID to every line of code you write. If they can identify every developer, they can control what gets built. And if they can control what gets built, they can stop anything that threatens their power.

@danny_harbor @exitnode_ we're getting a list of everyone to avoid now. money well spent
English
@exitnode_ I am starting to think that the 'DPRK' is doing such a good job of calling out the industry's BS, they almost deserve to keep the money.
English
Holy shit it happened 😭😂
THEY PAUSED $XMR SWAPS!? ☠️☠️
F*** HYPERLIQUID
F*** COW

F*** WAGYU
Exitnode_@exitnode_
Monero bros being paid: WAGYU is better than a CEX! WAGYU: Sorry I didn't freeze the funds in time, won't happen again!" Theres a reason I'm blocked. EITHER MAKE ATOMIC SWAPS/A REAL DEX BACKEND THE DEFAULT OR F*** OFF

@materkel @koeppelmann @arbitrum Anyone who is publicly known to be on the security council can expect a knock on their door next time their government wants some money seized
English
@koeppelmann @arbitrum If an L1 (or L2) is centralized to the extent that it can recover funds, isn't it even legally obligated to do so? - would make for an interesting case with certain L1s though...
English
Good move @arbitrum!
My stance remains: it’s fine (and desirable) to build systems with no centralized power - but if you have centralized power you should use it in clear cases of right and wrong. It’s not a virtue to be “neutral“ towards DPRK.
Arbitrum@arbitrum
The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications. After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users. As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.

@ZloyBnb @TokenizedDollar @Etherealize_io USD is fiat, it's days are numbered. Hyperinflation will bring ETH far past $250K
English
@TokenizedDollar @Etherealize_io at least 10k, positive 15k super positive 20-30k. 250k - not possible ever
English
If $ETH hits $250,000 as @Etherealize_io predicts that’s a 108x from $2,300.
You only need to invest $9,250 in $ETH to become a millionaire.
Why wouldn’t you do this in case they are right?

@AskVenice Do I have to stake both VVV and DIEM to get the API credits or just DIEM?
Also do the API credits accumulate or expire each day? I am asking your bot but it is giving conflicting answers with itself and the website.

We will be alive to witness the transition to sound money.
Our children will live in an abundance of time, money, and freedom.

Robert Breedlove explains how $6 trillion of printed dollars in 2020 is equivalent to 100 million years of stolen labor or 2 million human lives of productive labor. "Central banking is an institutionalized system of time theft." Bitcoin pulls back the veil.
English
@BTC_for_Freedom The people will never see this. They don't understand and don't care.
You just have to make the separation profitable for them and it will be inevitable.
English
I hope people soon see enough to understand that we need to separate money from state.

@salmoncreek7 @EthereanVibin Government laws don't determine ETH's potential, its own technology does

Even without Clarity? (Inside info says "no way it will pass"!)
Even/w Btc imploding via Mstr?
Even/w x4yr cycle down vibes?
Just looking for counter arguments as to why, now?
I felt much more bullish/w Clarity and a potential Alt season (never came), plus a possible no 4yr cycle down scenario.
Without those, much less so.
English
Everyone keeps talking about how shitty it is that $ETH has been at these same price levels for the past 4 years
But what they’re missing is that we’ve been building a base to set us up for one of the most violently parabolic breakouts ever seen
Inconceivably higher
English
@EthereanVibin ETH may be the same price as 4 years ago, but right now it is the most undervalued it has ever been.
