Can't say I am surprised at all, but they are publicly telling us the Digital ID is coming down the pipeline.

Very informative video here from Luke Mikic breaking down the report:

The full report for those that want to read it:

There is no red, there is no blue, there is the State and there is you.

Need to continue to build as many circular economies as quickly as possible and grow them as large as possible because we are very clearly in a race now!

This is probably not a surprise to most here on Nostr and many of us have known this was coming but damn unless I am missing something this regulatory architecture laid out via GENIUS and CLARITY sets the stage for some seriously dark times.

This additional, and much tighter surveillance architecture is rolling out so fast and is being combined with not just financial and digital surveillance but also on the ground surveillance real time tracking and visual surveillance all aggregated by AI and of course once the Digital ID enters the mix this shit is going to get super dark.

Factor in the brainchip salesmen a little further down the line and the Orwellian nature of all of is horrific.

Why does Amethyst connect me to like 500+ relays? Anyway to cut this down to a reasonable number? I filled in what I thought was appropriate in the relays settings and also added "proxy relays" thinking that would fix. But no such luck there - still connecting to crazy amounts of relays and everything works super slow all the time now.

The disease is chaos and the cure is control

Freedom will ultimately be traded for safety - not temporarily, permanently.

This is the logical outcome of policies already in motion. The writing is on the wall and ignoring will not make it disappear. We are being maneuvered into a state of constant crisis, constant outrage, and constant need for solutions. If you've read the book 1984 then you know full well that is part of the whole plan; to keep you always with an enemy in your sights, the wars always going, and with a crisis always happening we have to remember there is no government on earth that would ever let a good crisis go to waste, certainly, not in America.

Our rage, it will be cultivated. Criminality will be tolerated. Tragedy will, as disgusting as it is will be used to pull us towards not freedom, or love, or righteousness, or peace, but rather more CONTROL.

The surveillance state already entrenched and continuing to build out at rapid speed (Flock AI powered ALPRs, Stargate Texas and Stargate UAE, plus however many new datacenters under construction for other public-private big tech firms), it will serve as the architecture of all of this control. Civil war will not be the beginning, but the justification for martial law, but martial law will not be the end game - no, no, but rather the mechanism by which a new political and societal order comes into play. We are watching the careful engineering of dependence, total dependence and total control. The disease is chaos and the cure is control. If history is any guide, once the cure is administered, liberty is going to be very difficult to recover.

Great write up! Hits on all key points. "We already have a Wholesale CBDC system in place." I fully agree. Also, the GENIUS Act and licensing requirements in combo with the fact that the Act specifies that it is illegal for non-bank entities to pay interest/yield to holders of their Stablecoin is key. So as per usual the government crushes the free market and picks the winners. As we all know, JP Morgan Stablecoin will incoming pretty quickly. If you're going to transact in Stablecoins then who will people want to use - issuers like JP Morgan that pay interest/yield on holdings or issuers like Tether who can't legally pay interest (unless granted a banking license)? Even with other bank entities issuing stablecoins it won't matter because they'll have Palantir aggregate all the data to one centralized location and then the illustrious government will utilize Palantir's AI to issue the social credit score.

They are setting up the infrastructure for the CBDC as we speak!

Spot on ☝️

The elites are phenomenal at keeping the ball moving and even better at executing the divide and conquer tactic. 👏 The sheeple are all cheering on their march to the slaughterhouse.

All this political bullshit (like this post here):

is waste of damn time because even if proved true, as always the American public are going to just sit by and do absolutely nothing about it when there's no follow thru here. Just like no follow thru on the Fort Knox gold audit, there will likely be no firing of Fed Chair Powell (but even if Powell is fired and simps cheer it on for who knows why - who gives two actual fucks - there'll just be a new Fed Chair and there will still be a Fed), pharmaceutical drug prices ain't coming down "70, 80, 90%, or more" not ever....we can keep going but you get the point. Although, certainly do not put it past them to sacrifice a few of their pawns and make an arrest or two of sizeable proportion to keep the facade going for the public that they're fighting the "deep state."

Half if not all the shit these political elites say publicly is because they know it sounds good and it's what people want to hear. They'll always have a brand new story of corruption or how price controls will work (pharmaceutical drug prices and Walmart are the latest examples of that nonsense), or how "Trust us everybody, we've confirmed Epstein's death was a suicide. I was a public defender so I know one when I see one....again we can keep going here, but it's all constant bombarding to distract the sheeple every ten minutes 24/7 365.

Ya think!? Dimon knows the Dollar is finished. The $36 Trillion in debt is never getting paid back despite what Elon, Trump, and DOGGEY were trying to do - it wasn't enough.

This carry trade of the yen as it unravels is going to likely create a derivative time bomb which will lead to a massive implosion in the US Financial markets. It's a some multi-quadrillion dollar derivatives market. Mind you it's part of the plan because the elites hate your guts. They will be resetting the system into crypto stablecoins, hence the GENIUS Act set to pass thru Congress very soon to create regulatory moats for companies that govt wants to be in control (in otherworldly the companies the govt will control).

Huge moves in the 10 yr and 30 yr today. What is on the horizon will cripple and absolutely destroys the middle class and probably 99% of all Americans that think our cucked politicians have it all figured out to solve this debt problem - they don't. It's a massive planned scam for them to reset the system into one massive infinity pump into crypto and Bitcoin. They've set up a crises way worse than 2008/2009. This will be a hyperinflationary transition into the new currency reset.

The reset is well underway for sure - Orange Fuckstick is about to unlock the Golden Age! And since it'll be an UP ONLY EVERYTHING, the overwhelming majority of people will absolutely fall for it. Trump's crypto bank, WorldLibertyFi, will rake in tons of profits lending ppl digital stablecoin CBDC dollars (Trump's USD1 among others) against your Bitcoin and Memecoins to buy more up only assets - it's going to perpetually golden shower all of America to infinitum with a MASSIVE VALHALLA MOONSHOT everything and ppl will love it

Not sure I'll ever wrap my head around how the hell people are cheering this dog and pony clown shit show on. How do you even argue this is good for America 😂

By the time the infrastructure is built to do this, the robot workforce will be fully operational.

What are some sites to use to encode cashu tokens into emojis and/or gifts? I know of memeamigo, but wasn't there some others as well?

Dying laughing at this absolute clown show - a sitting US President using the highest office in the country to pitch his own book. I'm so excited and honored and you should be too that he is making America great! His meme coin pumped some 60% yesterday on the news 😂. I believe Trump's insiders and their team can now actively start selling so we'll see if they let this ride a bit a higher or start dumping on retail. And no the other choice for US President wasn't any better - TRUTH. Please be advised this is an a-political post - simply saying any bitcoiners and statist cucks that support him and this shit show have lost their minds. https://image.nostr.build/82382c13a3f10646ce8cc45b519d2bb334413fc212867fdf69cf208504b321a0.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e9e21f44b900a829391dad7857457bf5544905d958dab504f2c87666fc6bb709.jpg

Apparently the head brainchip salesman has a new rival

BitBonds

Dr. Hohns in the recent Forbes article titled, BitBonds: The $2 Trillion Idea That Could Slash The National Debt, tells us BitBonds will allow for, "we [the government] can share in the benefits of this savings technology with everyday American families. It’s a win-win-win.”

https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2025/04/05/bitbonds-the-2-trillion-idea-that-could-slash-the-national-debt/

In other words, loan us the money to buy Bitcoin and we'll share some gains with you. The best part is your share of any fiat gains from Bitcoin, according to the Forbes article, will be capped at 4.5% of the total compounded return on your investment. But it gets better, after the initial 4.5% cap is reached we will share 50% of any bitcoin upside with you. We keep the other 50%. WIN -fucking- WIN!

When has the US Government, yet alone any government ever wanted to "share" anything with American families. They don't share the money printer with but a select few American families up the top and amongst themeselves. But hey TRUTH is atleast this will pump our bags, right?

Re-reading this

article looks very applicable to the present day.

"but they could also very well use Bitcoin – particularly when used to back the U.S. dollar as part of the U.S. Treasury, but even if introduced as legal tender via Lightning-issued stablecoins to satisfy M1 supply. “No!”, you’ll yell now. “Bitcoin can’t be issued by the U.S. government!” And it can’t — but that doesn’t mean that it cannot be repurposed."

Does anyone else know that Scott Bessent is a Soros lackey? Yale grad, prior hedgefund manager - Bessent is famous for helping Soros to crush the British pound. Is this swamp creature on our team or was he placed there, very deliberately, by Donald Trump to help execute the same thing with the US Dollar to move us into the new system? I very much believe so.

In order to reset the system Donald Trump will need physical conflict and it's looking more and more like he has chosen China for that. Question is what does the new system look like? More or less freedom for the majority of Americans? All I know for sure is best to keep on stacking sats.

Seems to line up well

I was never willing put any of this surveillance tech nonsense disguised as convenience/home automation bs in my place for this exact reason. Even if it wasn't in the TOS or whatever before now. Cost/benefit analysis was pretty straightforward

"Applaud the billionaires for finally figuring out what we've all known so far. Welcome them and listen to every word they say as if they're wise because they finally recognize the value of this system. Make no mistake they have no idea what the value of this system is. They don't understand the fairness protocol behind it. All they understand is that somehow we've managed to make money and they want some of that. And here's the problem, they will abandon the principles of the fairness protocol they don't understand in order to achieve their real goal, which is simply piling on more money.

So when you think that we have won by getting the approval of the bankers, of the large corporations, by getting PayPal to like us, you're missing a very very important point. These same organizations that currently approve of the system as it is today and don't understand the fairness protocol behind it, will attempt to discard the fairness protocol. They will go back to the mechanisms they know and understand.

They see a plate of chips being produced and fairly distributed by two cousins and say, that's amazing what you've achieved there. Now, I have an idea of how we can take this to the next level...really scale it, really make this possible for the mainstream to use. I know how we can put this on NASDAQ so investors all around the world can access this incredible invention. I know how we can make it. Listen to this idea. How about we let the Aunt split the bowl, yea!? Right!? you get it?! You see, the Aunt can split the bowl that way we don't have to deal with the complexity of splitters and choosers and incentives and rewards and punishments. I don't really understand this fairness protocol, it seems rather complicated. Now where I come from the way we do this is we have the Aunt split the bowl.

You can't really explain the fairness protocol or object to this description and in the experience of those who have been eating chips very effectively without much competition, who already have a plate full of chips, who have not been robbed by their cousin and then beaten up on top of that, this seems very logical. After all, what problem are we really solving. This is about the efficient production and distribution of chips and we can do that much better if we invite the Aunt back into the picture.

Here's the thing an Argentinian understands, and a Greek like me understands. The problem is in this scenario the Aunt is our government. And every time we've trusted our government to split the bowl of chips, we realize that actually they're drunk and so what they do is they eat all the chips and then they beat up both of the children...and they be doing that everyday and the children are starving and the parent is drunk, belligerent and full of chips"

Thinking this will be, at least in part, the foundation for the "smart wall" at the borders, all of which will be rolled out in all US ports of entry, as well as globally. Invasive, AI enabled, biometric surveillance to start at the borders and soon to be coming to a town near you!

Anyone else have zaps broken on #Amethyst? only works when I physically visit a profile and click the lnaddress link. otherwise when trying to zap from a note directly it fails to pull up a list of installed ln wallets (not using nwc)

I concur,

and

choosing to keep your #Bitcoin unsecured is unsophisticated AF - as usual the Simply Sessions show today was awesome

"But by December around $70m was successfully sent to a cryptocurrency mixer - a criminal service used to launder Bitcoin, making it difficult to trace."

Laughable to me these schwack jobs wish to define mixers and therefore privacy as a criminal service.

"The oath each and every US government employee pledges when first taking office reads: 'I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.'

Apparently, this oath is only applicable so long it serves the US government’s agenda."

Is Twitter coin really a thing? These crazy schwack jobs are really making a damn twat coin? Un-freakinbelievable! 😂

Any suggestions as go the best way to fine tune which relays to connect to? Things are fairly laggy for me
