the government of india does not like technologies like bitchat and wants it taken down

A lot of people believe that Vote manipulation accounts for the landslide win of NDA in Bihar. While there was vote manipulation, it would not account for >3% vote. This landslide can only be explained by the 10,000 Rs bribe from public funds given to >1.5 Cr women on the eve of elections. This should have been prevented by ECI as they did earlier in TN & Rajasthan etc.
This result shows that it becomes virtually impossible to defeat a combination of money & control of EC & media, especially if you can use public funds to bribe voters. Very worrying for our Electoral democracy

So, Modi govt is not assisting in Serving US SEC summons on Adani, despite binding obligations under The Hague Convention. Surprised?
Is it a case of Adani in the lap of the govt or the govt in the lap of Adani?

Is this why ANI always mutes the mic whenever Modi is speaking to anyone? 🤡

Don't like war? Remember central banking was created specifically to help fund war.

Bitcoin fixes this.

I happen to agree with the Core guys on the filter stuff, but Maxwell's sentiment here is simplistic bordering on disingenuous.

"You can just do things!" Well, not really. Core has a tremendous amount of latent power for at least two reasons:

(i) every business has basically hardcoded the use of that implementation with levels of risk aversion surpassing "never got fired for buying IBM," creating an amazing de facto monopoly on economic nodes, and

(ii) bitcoin is so complicated that any non-developer inherently must delegate to some technical authority they trust, and Core winds up (for most sane people) being the target of that delegation.

This is a tremendous amount of sticky power. To not acknowledge that is naive.

Yes, in theory a large part of the ecosystem could decide to run an alternate implementation - but the switching/coordination/incidental-risk costs there are huge. It would take a 5-10x reward:risk proposition for most businesses to switch.

And meanwhile, the Core line is so often "well running another implementation would be dangerous! think of the possible consensus incompatibilities!" Convenient.

This single chokepoint is going to be a big problem for bitcoin, even if the filters issue isn't per se an epitome of it.

Only ANI was allowed to shoot inside the train with the Prime Minister

❌ Not Doordarshan (DD)
❌ Not any government channel
✅ Only ANI

Now, if a YouTuber uses even 2 seconds of that clip, ANI demands ₹50 lakh.

Why was ANI given this special access?
Is that why the government is silent because it’s helping ANI do this?

Isn’t this government-facilitated extortion?

Modi has to explain in Parliament and Election Commission why he accepted $ 21 million from President Trump. If it was for the 2019 Elections , was it declared to CEC after itemising it and amounts.

I’m really not sure what @BeerBicepsGuy did wrong here. He cracked a joke that was vulgar. But what’s the big deal? I don’t think he should have or even needs to apologize for this. Or am I missing something here 🤔

@iampaulgrewal No need to wait for court. You could share them now, along with what standard WBTC did not meet.

Uttar Pradesh Govt is saying it will pay up to ₹8 Lakh to Influencers to promote the govt.

This is Legalized Bribery.
From Tax Payer's Money.

Any influencer who does this should be publicly shamed.
