Web3 be like: big tech owns your data, why not just let everyone see your data.

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

If we believe in freedom and property rights, we should let adults make their own choices rather than tell them what to think and how they should invest their money.

The irony of “Rage against the machine” requiring their fans to be vaxxed 💀

[Alan Cody VanZant @ACVanZant]

@trullette I too support this type anarchistic self-sufficiency and self-reliance. If someone's abusing you, take whatever steps necessary to protect yourself. This should not be considered criminal activity.

This one's for you, game devs 👾

Our Game Development Kit is now publicly available, free of charge on GitHub.

Imagine the UK banning https://t.co/ApH4eXC7qp because some dude claims he wrote the Bitcoin whitepaper and hence storing it there constitutes a copyright infringement.

Imagine.

It's not the first time that PayPal has done this. It amounts to an illegal 'Restraint of Trade'.. 😠😠

@_benkaufman They need to buy up houses to hedge against the collapse of currencies and stock markets and bonds, but they need to ban guns to hedge against the backlash from buying up all the houses...

#Bitcoin fixes this.

[Cøbra @CobraBitcoin]

These elites be talking mad shit about “the environment” when it comes to Bitcoin, a tool that gives everyone economic freedom. But environmental concerns don’t seem to get mentioned when it comes to the military industrial complex, a tool to take *your* freedom.

[Ben Kaufman @_benkaufman]

People who criticize #Bitcoin energy consumption are just asserting their belief that they are superior to others and therefore know which use of energy is bad and which is good.

If China's Bitcoin bans were actually effective then they wouldn't have to keep loudly reiterating them.

Regular reminder that phones are surveillance devices. Android users in Massachusetts are getting a nasty surprise, as the Google Play store appears to be silently installing a COVID tracking app. https://t.co/ABhj4xnq6u

[SwiftOnSecurity @SwiftOnSecurity]

Sure is weird how y'all use the phrase "development crunch time" instead of "premeditated exploitation."

[Jameson Lopp @lopp]

Looks like the folks behind Dfinity's "Internet Computer" are touting it as the "world's fastest blockchain."

OK cool, let's see how well it performs on my benchmark machine.

WTF?

#Taproot has locked-in for #Bitcoin for both #BIP8 and @bitcoincoreorg's alternate ST/BIP9 deployment.

That's the easy part. But more importantly now, is that users upgrade to enforce Taproot by November.

Currently, we have just 23% of nodes enforcing.

@trullette And I could write a thesis on the issues with actual gov. Humans are universally corrupted by power. Shocking

@jeffreytucker I wish they’d stop writing, “Pandemic’s toll…” Politicians did this.
