I want to see regulation on the government's usage of AI.

@R38TAO Belzebu. Se e para ir pra merda que seja nas mãos do Baal mesmo.

Chefe da SECOM do governo do frouxo recebeu milhões do MASTER em 2025? A eleição atual é entre MOLOQUE e MAMÓN? Qual a única opção de um cristão em uma eleição dessas?

@technicaleben @levelsio The "Brazilian Way" AKA Jeitinho.

@levelsio What's stopping Brazil from looking like this?

Imagine what 🇧🇷 Brazil could be 😭

The PoW should be on the human side, not the machine side. Prove your artifact is real. Not prove the artifact is machine generated.

Is this what it has come down to?

I used to feel insecure i spent 15yrs jumping across marketing, ops, growth, engineering and product instead of specializing but now

The next question is who the buyers are. The politicians proposing unrealized capital gains taxes will essentially force Western shareholders to sell their assets to the deepest pockets on the planet. And those aren’t necessarily Western governments anymore, which are (after all) imposing these kinds of taxes partly because they are in the throes of sovereign debt crisis. Instead, with gold mooning, there’s a scenario where non-Western sovereign wealth funds will likely be able to buy up Western assets with hard currency.

Exciting times. I'm back on this app.

That is enough of this app for me folks. Tchau

@brl_xande There would be none left.

Imagine doing this in Brazil?

@R38TAO Espero ver as jurisdições competindo para ganhar os indivíduos que conseguirem vazar, e não deixar com que a mesma coisa ai em cima aconteceu. Eu compraria imunidade que nem um politico ontem.

@theprivileges Foi O cara acertou várias q na época pareciam loucura

É revoltante A cidadania americana levou o cara a cadeia após 10 anos de sua renúncia. Aposto q vai sair acordo como de Jimmy Zhong e CZ dele entregar aí 60 a 100k BTC e nunca mais pisar nos EUA. Mais uma grande lição do valor da privacidade/anonimidade/Opsec Foi Ver q pagou 1500$ no Outdoor do Honey Badger associando ele a BTC 2012. A primeira empresa a aceitar BTC em 2011 era dele. Escolheu o lado errado do Bcash, como Fraga.

@cafreiman That applies to more than just political opinions. fs.blog/the-work-requi…

That most people’s political opinions are a matter of social identity expression rather than a commitment to particular principles is a well-established finding in political science

If, like many of us, you feel a bit taken aback by events of the past week in #Bitcoin , you may be wondering about what you can do, practically, to maintain your ability to transact freely and to preserve your privacy. Whatever the enemies of freedom may tell you, in free and democratic countries it remains lawful to possess your own property, and to continue to hold and use that property without fear of unlawful search and seizure. You should confidently continue to pursue self custody of your bitcoin with the knowledge that the law is on your side, even if certain people in positions of power are not. However, it is important to remember that Bitcoin was intended to be a peer to peer system, and that delegating our personal responsibility to third party custodians has meant that the robustness of the system to resisting attacks has diminished. If you want to be able to continue transacting freely with your bitcoin, or holding it peacefully and lawfully, then you may want to take some steps to ensure that the system is as robust and as widely distributed as possible. As we know from the Cypherpunk's Manifesto, a 'widely dispersed system can't be shut down.' Here are some concrete suggestions of things that we can all do, right now, to ensure that the Bitcoin system is as widely dispersed as possible, and that each of us can continue interacting with it freely, no matter what. I'll give further details on each of these, and will put links in the thread, but as a start: 1. If you don't already, learn how to run a node, and start running one. 2. Learn how to open your own Lightning channels on your node. 3. Use open source, non-custodial wallets 4. Learn how to connect these wallets to your nodes 5. Really focus on understanding self custody. 1. Run a node Why is this important? It keeps the Bitcoin network of transaction validators as widely-dispersed as possible and helps to maintain the censorship-resistance of the network. If you run your own node, you will at the same time have access to a wallet that can't be removed from an app store and cannot be shut down.  I run two - one on a little @umbrel on a Raspberry Pi 4 (photo below) and the other on an old pc.  If you've never done this before, then Umbrel is a fun place to begin. You may also want to look into @start9labs - each provide a good basis to learn how to do this and become part of the network. 2. Learn how to use lightning in a self custodial way Opening and closing channels costs sats; but your own channels mean that you are much more likely to maintain access to them. See the great tutorial from @BTCsessions in the thread. A second tutorial on Fedi is also linked. 3. Use open source, non custodial wallets Especially if, like Mutiny, they can be installed as a progressive web app and don't need to be listed in one of the app stores. Either @MutinyWallet or @ZeusLN are great options.  4. Connect your wallet to your node Zeus especially will enable you to be fully self-sovereign in this context. 5. Focus on self-custody I cannot recommend the guide from @parman_the enough (link in thread). If you are starting from a position where your coins are still in a custodial wallet on an exchange, read the article in the thread below as a starting point, and begin working your way up the levels of self custody. Bitcoin may be under attack; but this is what it was designed for. If it were not continually attacked, there would be no incentive for Bitcoin to improve, or for us, its users, to improve our own practices. You are not alone, and you are not helpless. I hope the suggestions in this post will give anyone new to self custody, or exploring it for the first time, some pointers as to further reading - and encouragement that while we are in a fight, we are absolutely and unequivocally going to win it.

what up @epiksol

@jurad0x @delphi_labs @lukedelphi @ZeMariaMacedo

I don't usually share much about my work in Web3, or life updates. But this is some alpha into the best place to work in crypto / Web3. Shoutout to @delphi_labs and their leadership for recognizing my talent in the first few months of my joining. (@lukedelphi @ZeMariaMacedo @KSimback @iamsage @anildelphi ) They gave me the freedom to do what I do best and also accelerated my career growth in crypto by helping me network. After 2+ years at Delphi, I am finally moving onto a different area of this space to continue expanding my skill set. I encourage anyone interested in having a career in crypto to join Delphi. They currently have a ton of open positions(remote). delphilabs.io/careers

@ajaynayak I would imagine focus would be shifted to capital friendly countries. @Shaughnessy119 can you tell us what would be one possible path?

@theprivileges This has no chance of passing. That being said, I wonder how it would affect LPs and the VC ecosystem.

Makes you wonder what people with > $100 million net worth are going to do. Will they continue to deploy their capital and get taxed 25% on the unrealized capital gains, or would they simply pull their capital from the game? 🤷‍♂️

@moicanoufc Rapaz, espero que até la o DOJ não tenha criminalizado de vez a auto custódia.

Estarei nesse workshop em Orlando com certeza 💪💰🤑 garanta sua vaga já !!!!

It seems to me that they'll definitely come for your $BTC in the not distant future.
