Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport
@BLorilora@castello90 Versteh das Problem mit Hebeln im Top nicht, zumindest nach meinem Verständnis. Hoher Kurs->viel Fiat für wenig BTC&an der Seite halten. Geht Kurs runter in Richtung MC wird nachgekauft und gegebenenfalls nachbesichert. Steigt der Kurs doch weiter entwertet sich mein Dahrlehen.
Friedrich A. von Hayek predicting Bitcoin in 1984:
“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government. We can’t do so violently — all we can do is, by some sly roundabout way, introduce something that they can’t stop.”

@dk_tsl@schl48738@RZitelmann Wer Begriffe wie „klimaneutral“ verwendet ist unseriös oder ist ihnen CO2-neutral oder emissionsneutral nur nicht emotional genug?
A lot of people seem confused as to the consequences of the Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash prosecutions, claiming that they deserved what was coming bc their software was used by criminals.
Someone recently made the analogy to Toyota, which will hopefully help some of the critics understand what is going on here.
1. Toyota builds some of the most durable trucks on the planet
2. Toyota is the car brand of choice for ISIS bc of their durability
3. Toyota knows that ISIS uses its trucks
4. Toyota never sold trucks to ISIS
By analogy, the US Government does not have to prove that Toyota ever *actually* engaged with criminals who bought their cars.
To convict them, it is enough that:
1. they *knew* that criminals were using their cars (e.g. sending news articles about it around internally)
2. they *knew* that their cars would be attractive to terrorists bc of their durability
3. -> conspiracy
The above points are the main arguments that have led to these convictions.
The difference is that for trucks, it is easy for people to understand why others, besides terrorists, may have a use for durability.
When it comes to privacy, and especially financial privacy, it is extremely hard for the average mind to comprehend why a normie would want to use these tools – despite less than 10% of volume having been found illicit in both cases.
People should not be held accountable for what other people do with the tools they build.
This is true for Toyota, it's true for firearms, and we should finally start to understand that this true for software as well.
If we don't, no one is going to build anything anymore – and that's why these cases are so important.
"When the Canadian dollar becomes worthless, we will be here to serve you, too."
That was our closing reply to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in 2022, when they ordered us to freeze and disclose information about the bitcoin involved in the Freedom Convoy protest.
The story of how that email came about has never been told. Today, we’re sharing that story, and how that event forged our DNA & mission. 🧵👇
Deutschland stürzt ab❗️
Lesen Sie, was der Doktor der Astrophysik, der Inder Mayukh Panja, zum Zustand Deutschlands zu sagen hat:
„Ich kam 2016 nach Deutschland, um meine Promotion zu beginnen. Damals war Deutschland eine Hochburg für Wissenschaft und Technik.
Und nun, innerhalb von 9 Jahren, hatte ich die unglaubliche Gelegenheit, mitzuerleben, wie ein Land der ersten Welt, das kurz davor stand, eine Supermacht zu werden, sich durch eine Reihe schlechter politischer Entscheidungen, die alle darauf abzielten, sich selbst weiter zu schwächen, systematisch selbst zerstört.
All diese selbstzerstörerischen Maßnahmen haben eines gemeinsam: Sie werden alle von einigen wenigen wohlhabenden Millennials aus den Städten vorangetrieben, die sich moralisch überlegen fühlen und für ihr ‚gutes Verhalten‘ gelobt werden wollen.
Es ist verrückt, wie der Narzissmus einiger weniger ein ganzes Land zerstören kann.
In gewisser Weise tun mir die heißgelaufenen, engstirnigen Deutschen leid, insbesondere diejenigen, die hart daran gearbeitet haben, das Land aufzubauen und nun zusehen müssen, wie es von einer Bande selbstgerechter, selbstherrlicher Millennials ruiniert wird.“
Bitcoin is pure money and has no other use. Unlike paper and gold.
And that's highly desirable. You don't want a corrupted standard.
This is not to say the blockchain, or blockchains in general have no other utility.
Wenn ihr gesamtes Einkommen nur noch für Lebensmittel und Miete reicht, dann ist Arbeit kein Weg für wirtschaftliches Wachstum mehr, sondern dient lediglich dem Selbsterhalt.
Kurz gesagt: Es ist Sklaverei!
