america's two top law enforcement officials will be speaking at the #bitcoin conference.
said another way, american law enforcement is now wholly on the side of russian and iranian money launderers.
(the third speaker #PaulGrewal is the Chief Legal Officer at #Coinbase, the company that purchased the US government at a discount in 2024)

RE: https://masto.ai/@GhostOnTheHalfShell/116376819557050136
good interview with two good dudes who really know what they're talking about (@gilduran.com + david z morris) going through epstein's deep and persistent involvement with #bitcoin/#crypto from the very earliest days. (ICYMI epstein was sending emails about how one of his life goals was to make a lot of money in #virtualcurrency in 2009 just as bitcoin was invented, he met the core dev team in 2011, and he started paying all the developers' salaries ca. 2015).
epstein didn't really understand "the tech" but the #EpsteinFiles make it very clear he was miles ahead of all the 25 year old anarchist crypto bros he was emailing with as far as appreciating how crypto could be used for financial crimes like #moneylaundering.
there's a bunch of emails where Epstein advises some crypto bro about things like how to not pay taxes or how to avoid getting arrested for #moneylaundering or #BankSecrecyAct violations.

oh look, Jeffrey Epstein appears to have been an investor in one of the O.G. blockchain companies and one of the companies most closely tied to #Tether, Adam Back and Austin Hill's #Blockstream.

Haha.
Jetzt in diesem Augenblick bin ich eingeloggt in eine virtuelle Welt, die seit Anfang 2010 existiert. Auf Basis eines Virtuelle-Welten-Systems von Anfang 2007, das komplett ohne Blockchain, ohne Crypto und ohne NFTs auskommt, und wo auch schon seit 2007 das Wort "Metaverse" Teil des ständigen Sprachgebrauchs ist.
Dieser Kanal und meine Zusatzkanäle auf (streams) sind alle nach meinem Hauptavatar benannt.
Ich habe sogar Avatare in einem Grid auf Basis derselben Software, das schon seit Mitte 2007 existiert.
Die Cryptobros führen ja auch gern Decentraland als Leuchtturmprojekt auf, als "erstes dezentrales Metaversum überhaupt". Auch das ist Blödsinn. Dezentral ist an Decentraland nur, daß es nicht auf der Bitcoin-Blockchain läuft, sondern auf der von Etherium. Ansonsten ist Decentraland nur eine einzige Welt, ein zentralistischer Walled Garden.
Wo ich bin, das ist ein Netzwerk von über 4000 individuellen Welten, von denen die allermeisten miteinander verbunden sind mittels einer Technologie, die es auch schon seit Mitte 2008 gibt.
Und ich bin verbunden mit einer halben Busladung Leute, die in Second Life sind, das auch schon seit 2002 existiert, auch ohne Blockchain, Crypto und NFTs.
Da können mir die Cryptobros also viel erzählen.

Behold! The net cop gives expensive advice! You are basically requiring that I pay for yet another ERC20 cryptocurrency token just to send text messages.
From the Autonomi site:
"WHEN SOMEONE (A PERSON OR A COLLECTIVE) UPLOADS DATA THEY PAY A FEE TO DO SO."
"+1 Million tokens on offer for early contributors."MaidSafe is credited as having invented the ICO. I wouldn't touch it or any of its descendant projects with a ten-foot pole.
"MaidSafe are the team behind Autonomi ..."Didn't you learn from Maidsafe+Mastercoin ICO and ten thousand other ICOs already? The purpose of digital 'tokens' is to separate gullible people from their dollars or euros or yuan or rubles, providing in return something they could already have for free or so cheap it's nearly free. It appears that the people behind Maidsafe are also behind the crypto token you are suggesting, for merely posting text files. Get outta here!
Newscard has several selling points:
0. It's not for sale. Try that with Autonomi, Maidsafe, and a thousand others.
1. It is free, unlike your suggested cryptocurrency pump.
2. My solution is simple and elegant - naming small text files for retrieval.
3. Newscard uses existing infrastructure already in operation for decades.
4. Many mature client softwares and terminal emulators already exist for the task.
5. Newscard doesn't require investment or payment.
6. Newscard doesn't have an integrated, useless payment system.
7. Newscard is ANONYMOUS and uses The Onion Network by default.
8. Users won't lose their money when using Newscard.
And my Newscard solution doesn't require taking zillions of dollars from people who will likely never see a return on their token investment. Storage token sale schemes are a dime a dozen. I can't believe you think I have the credulity to swallow such a scheme.
For almost two decades running countless crews have claimed that they will, 'decentralize the Internet' if you give them your money.
Newsflash: The Internet already is decentralized. Decentralization is a basic part of the design of the Internet. It already routes around damage and censorship by default. Why do I need to pay for a crypto token for something that already exists? Decentralized Usenet has been in continuous operation for decades. I'm already using the 'decentralized Internet' for the Newscard protocol. I've been using the 'decentralized Internet' since forever! It doesn't need to be decentralized by crypto pump schemes. The Internet is already decentralized.
So we already have a decentralized Internet where data storage is abundant and cheap. And these token pumpers want to set themselves up as gatekeepers so we have to pay them to get the tokens to store our data. That is not decentralization. That is the essence of a centralized monetary gatekeeper!
You accused me of misusing Usenet. Yet I am only doing what people have done with Usenet for decades--posting encrypted messages. I'm not misusing Usenet. You're misusing my patience for cryptocurrency dumps and re-hashed token sales strategies.
