Did I hold up the Constitution to Congress? Yes.
Did I reference the Grateful Dead? Also, Yes.

@PRDG_ZA @HRF @Resist_CBDC Apologies for being late to the party, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help! Thank you for citing the CBDC Tracker!

@asymmetricinfo The older literature section is probably my favorite bit.

@IgorPejic9 @HRF Thank you, @IgorPejic9!

My favorite tool to research central bank digital currencies is the @HRF #CBDC Tracker. So I was really excited to see it just got a lot better. It now includes things like a blog, clearer terminology and much more. I was particularly intrigued by the parallels @EconWithNick draws to the Tyranny Tracker, another HRF tool. Congrats on the upgrade.

@ChristianJKruse It's such a classic.

This probably says more about me than I'd like, but I couldn't resist.

"Are well-intentioned protective measures harming people by denying them the benefit of new technologies that could improve their lives? Are restrictions designed to prevent bad people from using technology unduly inconveniencing good people? Are controls around the use of the new technology impeding Americans’ right to make choices for themselves and their families? Are attempts to stuff new technologies into a straitjacket of prescriptive rules written with old technologies in mind, squelching the potential of those new technologies to change society for the better?" - @HesterPeirce

@CorieWhalen Not going to lie... The fruit people are my favorite of the AI slop

@tpacchia You've always been my favorite crypto bro clubhouse guy.

Her comments are not random.

This is part of a well funded and carefully organized campaign to demonize open models and our civil liberties in DC.

Multiple Senate staffers have told me that outside groups are requesting meetings to provide “demonstrations” where open source models are used to attack simulated hospital websites and demand bitcoin as ransom.

These are cheap scare tactics funded by groups seeking to control open systems. In reality, cyber defenders rely on open models daily to find critical vulnerabilities before attackers get there first.

If these groups are successful, we will all be poorer, less free, and more vulnerable to adversaries with increasingly capable systems.

[Alex Thorn @intangiblecoins]

Hester Peirce with another banger

“Today society is at a crossroads. Down one path lies the status quo: more data collection, more intermediary surveillance, more “know your customer” requirements that turn our financial rails into a panopticon. Down the other path lies an opportunity to use new technologies to improve our ability to catch criminals while collecting less personal information than ever before, and monitoring more sparingly to protect Americans’ privacy.” https://t.co/9fOpCwin3g

If governments are building new ways to watch how people spend, the public should be able to watch them back. The updated CBDC Tracker shows authoritarians leading the push for central bank digital currency, writes Cato's @EconWithNick.
