Corporatocracy creep

“Watch how institutional power is not merely normalized, but openly celebrated in Bitcoin's social layer.

Wealth, status, access, and proximity to power are elevated, while Bitcoin's founding principles, including sovereignty and the separation of money and state, are ridiculed.

The values of the fiat system Bitcoin was created to challenge are being repackaged as Bitcoin's path to success.

On November 5, Mars Spits Bars takes this worldview to BTC Inc's Bitcoin Amsterdam, on a Whale Pass-only panel titled:

“BIG BITCOIN: IN CONTROL?”

The CAPTURE articles documents the institutional relationships and mechanisms of influence.

Bitcoin's social layer is the final line of defense against complete institutional capture.

But if that very social layer is being conditioned to celebrate institutional power, ridicule principled opposition, and attack those exposing its concentration, who exactly is left to resist it? “

"Great new ideas are usually articulated by individuals, they're nearly always generated by communities" - Brian Eno

Smart Guy... unfortunately he was talking at a pro Basic Income meeting... a topic he freely admits he knows nothing of... bloody awful concept that the system needs you to think its' necessary because ai is going to take all our jobs

Of course, I totally disagree... AI, powered by the people for the people will explode human potential and make us all really fucking busy

I want this guys job

(stolen from flx 😘)

Code is art

The same can be said for code

Fact check: true

Years ago I made a piece that represented the ability for the common person to turn tech back on the state… it’s finally happening woohoo 😁

Another reason why nostr matters

Might not be able to upload a book but it can be photographed, scanned and distributed

So to can a web archiving service

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR RED PILLS

a16z backs both Flock Safety (led its $275M round at $7.5B) and Israeli firm Toka, whose tech can hack and alter security camera footage in real time without a trace.

So it’s now possible to be arrested and framed for a crime you didn’t commit

Of course they wouldn’t do this

Still one of my favourite pieces of Bitcoin art

Shill me your bitcoin clocks

Just unplugged my BlockClock… more out of principle than any potential threat… it was on a separate network in my workshop

More importantly though, I want a replacement and the BlockTron looked amazing but sold out 😭

Any recommendations?

Or should I just make my own ?

In dark times a light shines

Instant laughter guaranteed… the complete lore of Jerry… yes I’m biased

Beautiful 👌

Just listened to this… I highly recommend it… requires zero technical knowledge and you will learn something about free markets and about why this current battle we’re having isn’t the first and it won’t be the last before we see the world adopting a bitcoin standard

If nothing else you will learn that you can’t change the system from within it

Thankyou

I've been using: https://beta.platform.routstr.com/api-keys with Hermes client

Found an issue with nip60 wallet and deleting/creating new api keys

I've logged an issue here: https://github.com/Routstr/routstr-platform/issues/1 apologies if it's in the wrong place... kind of surprised it was the first issue

We're so early 😁

Trigger warning

EMPLOYEE NOTICE

Due to the current financial situation caused by the fuel crisis and the slowdown in the economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.

This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the Government deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the Government.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your MP, who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.

Sincerely,

The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)

PS - Due to the Virus, recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.
