Piccadilly Circus, London.
Keir Starmer now demands state spyware on every mobile device, always watching the screen, scanning everything, looking for things the government disapproves of.

i mean we can just reverse what any of these western countries points to and say these are bad guys and actually be closer to truth.

Russia, china, north korea, iran are the bad guys but maybe just maybe

hmm nothing

BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country.

Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison.

The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption.

That means:

• Every image scanned
• Every message inspected
• Every video analyzed

All directly on your phone.

Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data.

Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes.

In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach.

Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device.

Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Men used to make vows. they promised to love someone until death and meant it. they named children after gods they hoped the child would live to honor. they stood at graves and swore revenge over sacred bread. at some point the vow died. we all decided quietly that meaning what you say was too much to ask

BTC is dead to me.

For the first time since 2014, when my usual “should I buy BTC?” friends came for their scheduled emotional support hotline, I told them no.

I am confident there is no longer a trade in BTC because the original trade is gone.

BTC was the first memecoin.

Do not waste time @'ing me, to me it is obvious.

As you all know, every great memecoin needs a narrative powerful enough to make people believe they are doing something more meaningful than buying an asset from someone else. BTC had the best narrative of all time.

Rebellion against inflation, fiat, banks, central banks, and the establishment.

That was the narrative. But what mattered more was the raw engine underneath it: ESCAPE.

BTC gave ordinary people the first internet native asset that could plausibly let them escape the rat race without needing access to the incumbent class. Before BTC, immense wealth creation was mostly gated by proximity. You needed access to early equity, private deals, high finance, institutional networks, valuable real estate, or some other lane controlled by people already inside the system (Boomers). BTC changed that because anyone online could buy the asset before the ruling class.

That was BTC’s trade and its monopoly.

It gave ordinary people a way to escape the rat race by opting out of a system that had kept access, upside, and wealth creation mostly in the hands of the incumbent class.

The rebellion was the story -> The escape was the trade -> The monopoly was being the only asset online that could credibly offer both.

That monopoly no longer exists.

The irony is that BTC created the blueprint for the world that made BTC less important. It taught the internet that an asset did not need traditional fundamentals if it had belief, liquidity, attention, narrative, and enough people willing to treat the trade as a way out.

Financial nihilism + magic internet money.

That is the blueprint BTC gave the world. Forget fundamentals. Trade the narrative. Coordinate online. Let the greater fool mechanism create wealth for the people who arrived early enough.

Think about it......Since BTC, every market has been hyper gamblified. Stocks trade like memes. Coins trade like memes. AI tokens trade like memes. Prediction markets trade like memes. Anything that lives on the internet can become a trade, a belief system, and a possible escape hatch from the rat race.

BTC was powerful when it was the only internet asset that gave outsiders a credible way to get rich before the establishment arrived. Now the internet creates that setup constantly.

BTC also lost the rebellion narrative. Institutional adoption killed that part of the story. The asset that started as a way to opt out of the system is now owned through ETFs, marketed by asset managers, held by corporate treasuries, and represented culturally by Saylor running a balance sheet strategy.

BTC lost the 2 things that made it matter.

It lost the rebellion because the establishment absorbed it.

It lost the escape monopoly because every internet asset now competes to become the next rat race exit.

The store of value story was always secondary. The inflation hedge story was always secondary. The hard money story was always secondary. The main function was escape.

BTC was the first trade that made outsiders believe they could beat the system from outside the system.

Now that function lives everywhere.

To all the BTC maxis, with love.

Your CEO should be strong.

Your CTO should be wise.

Your COO should be wicked, cunning, of mysterious origins, fluent in the dark arts, blurry in pictures,
