@AgoristN The vast majority of government crimes aren't covered up. They're committed openly:
Taxation is theft.
Arresting people for victimless "crimes" is assault.
Imprisoning people for victimless "crimes" is torture.
Starting wars is murder.
Public schools are child abuse.
@AnniePosting@shakoistsLog Yes, that's the same definition we all use...
but then you need measurable metrics that correspond to that definition, so you can find which policies are correlated with that outcome
we have centuries of good statistics for violence and living standards from all over the world
@rich_likes_vegs@Rothmus so when you combine state and federal you're already at about 50% for just drugs and probation
then add in all the others and it's still an overwhelming majority of innocent people being kept in cages and tortured by all the sadistic, violent, psychopaths who work for government
@rich_likes_vegs@Rothmus looked it up, and yes the numbers have recently fallen a bit...
but you left out federal
almost 1/4 of inmates are drugs, and over 1/4 of inmates are probation violations
then add gambling, prostitution, financial regulations, firearms, taxes, immigration, smuggling, IP...
@bishco9 btc has been used as money for 15 years now
many more assets that aren't completely fungible have been used as money/currency as well
you'd need a Time Machine to make your claim true
btc may not be as anonymous/fungible as xmr, but it's far more decentralized/secure/scalable
Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available
And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.
It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.
But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.
@Rothmus The USA has far more prisoners per capita than practically any other country in the world, and it's prisoners serve much longer sentences than the global average.
Look it up.
Roughly 75% of the people currently incarcerated are locked up for completely victimless "crimes".
@caprioleio@bitcoin_eagle But there should also be fire selling if old addresses are frozen.
The difference is that the market can recover from old lost coins being recovered.
While the network's value would be permanently crippled if you ruin it's neutrality by freezing addresses.

@caprioleio If people dump because a quantum computer starts recovering satoshi's 22,000 addresses then the market will recover.
If you destroyed the network's value proposition by freezing old addresses it would never be considered a truly immutable asset ever again.

DYSTOPIAN doesn't even begin to cover it. You'll want to sit down for this one.. hopefully it's not in your new black mirror vehicle. 👇
In new patents filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (Serial No. 20250104469), Ford is envisioning a future where your pickup turns into a rolling police station. And we don’t mean just a bunch of new safety features; the new patents envision your truck as a 24/7 surveillance outpost.
👁️ Biometric Checks: From the comfort of your own driveway, your eyes will be scanned, and that iris and fingerprint checked against a database of criminals - real-time results received within seconds.
🧠 Did you know? Your car can put you in an Emotional Lockout! If your vehicle senses that you are in a “panic” driving state or have the “big eyes” (unintentionally locking onto an object for too long), the vehicle will determine that you are not fit to drive. The vehicle will remain in a Park state and will not allow the shifter to transition into the Drive state.
👂 Ad Spying – using acoustic waves to read your lips and display monitored conversations to you in order to serve you targeted ads for maximum monetization.
🚔 Law Enforcement: The live feeds in the footages "by Ford" are not encrypted and thus can be used for Law Enforcement Integration. Ford's own patent language for this feature describes the live feeds as "potentially useful for police".
This isn't "coming soon" - it's already here.
• Smart Eye monitoring software is already in use in over 4 million vehicles worldwide.
• To comply with EU regulations such as the Future Truck 2025 concept, GSR, drowsiness system will be a mandatory feature on board.
• Ford currently offers live in-cabin Ford Pro Telematics feeds to its fleet manager customers.
The future is looking more like a world where you pay for your name and reputation , but everyone else profits off of your private information and influence.
Surveillance society: It’s not just the new spying tech that’s the problem - it’s that all older vehicles are being gradually driven off the road and taken out of commission through legislation and a parts shortage, leaving drivers with a hollow choice.
All is not lost. But we’re not just losing privacy. We’re losing the concept of an exit ramp.
How long do you plan to keep your "analog" car on the road?
@WhiteBabyFac Get the government out of marriage.
If a man and woman want to raise a family together that's their business and no one else's.
The biggest disincentives to men starting families are all the legal risks of "marriage" and "child support".
@AngelInvestorOG@RonSwanonson It would be very specific kind of portfolio where all of your assets are either relatively illiquid or relatively volatile.
Surely you could allocate at least a small portion of your wealth to assets that are relatively liquid, relatively stable, and outperform savings accounts?
even though i’m speaking at this conference i’ll say it:
it’s a joke to have these clowns speaking on a “code is free speech” panel while william hill and keonne rodriguez sit in jail.
pardon and release them now.
