The largest campaign finance violation in US history

I'm coming to DEFCON! On Aug 9, I'm emceeing the EFF POKER TOURNAMENT (noon at the Horseshoe Poker Room), and appearing on the BRICKED AND ABANDONED panel (5PM, LVCC - L1 - HW1–11–01). On Aug 10, I'm giving a keynote called "DISENSHITTIFY OR DIE! How hackers can seize the means of computation and build a new, good internet that is hardened against our asshole bosses' insatiable horniness for enshittification" (noon, LVCC - L1 - HW1–11–01).

Earlier this month, some of the richest men in Silicon Valley, led by Marc Andreesen and Ben Horowitz (the billionaire VCs behind Andreesen-Horowitz) announced that they would be backing Trump with endorsements and millions of dollars:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2024/07/16/trump-lands-more-big-tech-backers-billionaire-venture-capitalist-andreessen-joins-wave-supporting-former-president/

Predictably, this drew a lot of ire, which Andreesen tried to diffuse by insisting that his support "doesn’t have anything to do with the big issues that people care about":

https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/24/24204706/marc-andreessen-ben-horowitz-a16z-trump-donations

In other words, the billionaires backing Trump weren't doing so because they supported the racism, the national abortion ban, the attacks on core human rights, etc. Those were merely tradeoffs that they were willing to make to get the parts of the Trump program they do support: more tax-cuts for the ultra-rich, and, of course, free rein to defraud normies with cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes.

Crypto isn't "money" – it is far too volatile to be a store of value, a unit of account, or a medium of exchange. You'd have to be nuts to get a crypto mortgage when all it takes is Elon Musk tweeting a couple emoji to make your monthly mortgage payment double.

A thing becomes moneylike when it can be used to pay off a bill for something you either must pay for, or strongly desire to pay for. The US dollar's moneylike property comes from the fact that hundreds of millions of people need dollars to pay off the IRS and their state tax bills, which means that they will trade labor and goods for dollars. Even people who don't pay US taxes will accept dollars, because they know they can use them to buy things from people who do have a nondiscretionary bill that can only be paid in dollars.

Dollars are also valuable because there are many important commodities that can only – or primarily – be purchased with them, like much of the world's oil supply. The fact that anyone who wants to buy oil has a strong need for dollars makes dollars valuable, because they will sell labor and goods to get dollars, not because they need dollars, but because they need oil.

There's almost nothing that can only be purchased with crypto. You can procure illegal goods and services in the mistaken belief that this transaction will be durably anonymous, and you can pay off ransomware creeps who have hijacked your personal files or all of your business's data:

https://locusmag.com/2022/09/cory-doctorow-moneylike/

Web3 was sold as a way to make the web more "decentralized," but it's best understood as an effort to make it impossible to use the web without paying crypto every time you click your mouse. If people need crypto to use the internet, then crypto whales will finally have a source of durable liquidity for the tokens they've hoarded:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/09/16/nondiscretionary-liabilities/#quatloos

The Web3 bubble was almost entirely down to the vast hype machine mobilized by Andreesen-Horowitz, who bet billions of dollars on the idea and almost single-handedly created the illusion of demand for crypto. For example, they arranged a $100m bribe to Kickstarter shareholders in exchange for Kickstarter pretending to integrate "blockchain" into its crowdfunding platform:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/untold-story-kickstarter-crypto-hail-120000205.html

Kickstarter never ended up using the blockchain technology, because it was useless. Their shareholders just pocketed the $100m while the company weathered the waves of scorn from savvy tech users who understood that this was all a shuck.

Look hard enough at any crypto "success" and you'll discover a comparable scam. Remember NFTs, and the eye-popping sums that seemingly "everyone" was willing to pay for ugly JPEGs? That whole market was shot through with "wash-trading" – where you sell your asset to yourself and pretend that it was bought by a third party. It's a cheap – and illegal – way to convince people that something worthless is actually very valuable:

https://mailchi.mp/brianlivingston.com/034-2#free1

Even the books about crypto are scams. Chris Dixon's "bestseller" about the power of crypto, Read Write Own, got on the bestseller list through the publishing equivalent of wash-trading, where VCs with large investments in crypto bought up thousands of copies and shoved them on indifferent employees or just warehoused them:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/15/your-new-first-name/#that-dagger-tho

The fact that crypto trades were mostly the same bunch of grifters buying shitcoins from each other, while spending big on Superbowl ads, bribes to Kickstarter shareholders, and bulk-buys of mediocre business-books was bound to come out someday. In the meantime, though, the system worked: it convinced normies to gamble their life's savings on crypto, which they promptly lost (if you can't spot the sucker at the table, you're the sucker).

There's a name for this: it's called a "bezzle." John Kenneth Galbraith defined a "bezzle" as "the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it." All bezzles collapse eventually, but until they do, everyone feels better off. You think you're rich because you just bought a bunch of shitcoins after Matt Damon told you that "fortune favors the brave." Damon feels rich because he got a ton of cash to rope you into the con. Crypto.com feels rich because you took a bunch of your perfectly cromulent "fiat money" that can be used to buy anything and traded it in for shitcoins that can be used to buy nothing:

https://theintercept.com/2022/10/26/matt-damon-crypto-commercial/

Andreesen-Horowitz were masters of the bezzle. For them, the Web3 bet on an internet that you'd have to buy their shitcoins to use was always Plan B. Plan A was much more straightforward: they would back crypto companies and take part of their equity in huge quantities of shitcoins that they could sell to "unqualified investors" (normies) in an "initial coin offering." Normally, this would be illegal: a company can't offer stock to the general public until it's been through an SEC vetting process and "gone public" through an IPO. But (Andreesen-Horowitz argued) their companies' "initial coin offerings" existed in an unregulated grey zone where they could be traded for the life's savings of mom-and-pop investors who thought crypto was real because they heard that Kickstarter had adopted it, and there was a bestselling book about it, and Larry David and Matt Damon and Spike Lee told them it was the next big thing.

Crypto isn't so much a financial innovation as it is a financial obfuscation. "Fintech" is just a cynical synonym for "unregulated bank." Cryptocurrency enjoys a "byzantine premium" – that is, it's so larded with baffling technical nonsense that no one understands how it works, and they assume that anything they don't understand is probably incredibly sophisticated and great ("a pile of shit this big must have pony under it somewhere"):

https://pluralistic.net/2022/03/13/the-byzantine-premium/

There are two threats to the crypto bezzle: the first is that normies will wise up to the scam, and the second is that the government will put a stop to it. These are correlated risks: if the government treats crypto as a security (or worse, a scam), that will put severe limits on how shitcoins can be marketed to normies, which will staunch the influx of real money, so the sole liquidity will come from ransomware payments and transactions with tragically overconfident hitmen and drug dealers who think the blockchain is anonymous.

To keep the bezzle going, crypto scammers have spent the past two election cycles flooding both parties with cash. In the 2022 midterms, crypto money bankrolled primary challenges to Democrats by absolute cranks, like the "effective altruist" Carrick Flynn ("effective altruism" is a crypto-affiliated cult closely associated with the infamous scam-artist Sam Bankman-Fried). Sam Bankman-Fried's super PAC, "Protect Our Future," spent $10m on attack-ads against Flynn's primary opponent, the incumbent Andrea Salinas. Salinas trounced Flynn – who was an objectively very bad candidate who stood no chance of winning the general election – but only at the expense of most of the funds she raised from her grassroots, small-dollar donors.

Fighting off SBF's joke candidate meant that Salinas went into the general election with nearly empty coffers, and she barely squeaked out a win against a GOP nightmare candidate Mike Erickson – a millionaire Oxy trafficker, drunk driver, and philanderer who tricked his then-girlfriend by driving her to a fake abortion clinic and telling her that it was a real one:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/14/competitors-critics-customers/#billionaire-dilletantes

SBF is in prison, but there's no shortage of crypto millions for this election cycle. According to Molly White's "Follow the Crypto" tracker, crypto-affiliated PACs have raised $185m to influence the 2024 election – more than the entire energy sector:

https://www.followthecrypto.org/

As with everything "crypto," the cryptocurrency election corruption slushfund is a bezzle. The "Stand With Crypto PAC" claims to have the backing of 1.3 million "crypto advocates," and Reuters claims they have 440,000 backers. But 99% of the money claimed by Stand With Crypto was actually donated to "Fairshake" – a different PAC – and 90% of Fairshake's money comes from a handful of corporate donors:

https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-62/

Stand With Crypto – minus the Fairshake money it falsely claimed – has raised $13,690 since April. That money came from just seven donors, four of whom are employed by Coinbase, for whom Stand With Crypto is a stalking horse. Stand With Crypto has an affiliated group (also called "Stand With Crypto" because that is an extremely normal and forthright way to run a nonprofit!), which has raised millions – $1.49m. Of that $1.49m, 90% came from just four donors: three cryptocurrency companies, and the CEO of Coinbase.

There are plenty of crypto dollars for politicians to fight over, but there are virtually no crypto voters. 69-75% of Americans "view crypto negatively or distrust it":

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/10/majority-of-americans-arent-confident-in-the-safety-and-reliability-of-cryptocurrency/

When Trump keynotes the Bitcoin 2024 conference and promises to use public funds to buy $1b worth of cryptocoins, he isn't wooing voters, he's wooing dollars:

https://www.wired.com/story/donald-trump-strategic-bitcoin-stockpile-bitcoin-2024/

Wooing dollars, not crypto. Politicians aren't raising funds in crypto, because you can't buy ads or pay campaign staff with shitcoins. Remember: unless Andreesen-Horowitz manages to install Web3 crypto tollbooths all over the internet, the industries that accept crypto are ransomware, and technologically overconfident hit-men and drug-dealers. To win elections, you need dollars, which crypto hustlers get by convincing normies to give them real money in exchange for shitcoins, and they are only funding politicians who will make it easier to do that.

As a political matter, "crypto" is a shorthand for "allowing scammers to steal from working people," which makes it a very Republican issue. As Hamilton Nolan writes, "If the Republicans want to position themselves as the Party of Crypto, let them. It is similar to how they position themselves as The Party of Racism and the Party of Religious Zealots and the Party of Telling Lies about Election Fraud. These things actually reflect poorly on them, the Republicans":

https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/crypto-as-a-political-characteristic

But the Democrats – who are riding high on the news that Kamala Harris will be their candidate this fall – have decided that they want some of that crypto money, too. Even as crypto-skeptical Dems like Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Sherrod Brown and Jon Tester see millions from crypto PACs flooding in to support their primary challengers and GOP opponents, a group of Dem politicians are promising to give the crypto industry whatever it wants, if they will only bribe Democratic candidates as well:

https://subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=00000190-f475-d94b-a79f-fc77c9400000

Kamala Harris – a genuinely popular candidate who has raised record-shattering sums from small-dollar donors representing millions of Americans – herself has called for a "reset" of the relationship between the crypto sector and the Dems:

https://archive.is/iYd1C

As Luke Goldstein writes in The American Prospect, sucking up to crypto scammers so they stop giving your opponents millions of dollars to run attack ads against you is a strategy with no end – you have to keep sucking up to the scam, otherwise the attack ads come out:

https://prospect.org/politics/2024-07-31-crypto-cash-affecting-democratic-races/

There's a whole menagerie of crypto billionaires behind this year's attempt to buy the American government – Andreesen and Horowitz, of course, but also the Winklevoss twins, and this guy, who says we're in the midst of a "civil war" and "anyone that votes against Trump can die in a fucking fire":

https://twitter.com/molly0xFFF/status/1813952816840597712/photo/1

But the real whale that's backstopping the crypto campaign spending is Coinbase, through its Fairshake crypto PAC. Coinbase has donated $45,500,000 to Fairshake, which is a lot:

https://www.coinbase.com/blog/how-to-get-regulatory-clarity-for-crypto

But $45.5m isn't merely a large campaign contribution: it appears that $25m of that is the largest the largest illegal campaign contribution by a federal contractor in history, "by far," a fact that was sleuthed out by Molly White:

https://www.citationneeded.news/coinbase-campaign-finance-violation/

At issue is the fact that Coinbase is bidding to be a US federal contractor: specifically, they want to manage the crypto wallets that US federal cops keep seizing from crime kingpins. Once Coinbase threw its hat into the federal contracting ring, it disqualified itself from donating to politicians or funding PACs:

Campaign finance law prohibits federal government contractors from making contributions, or promising to make contributions, to political entities including super PACs like Fairshake.

https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/federal-government-contractors/

Previous to this, the largest ever illegal campaign contribution by a federal contractor appears to be Marathon Petroleum Company's 2022 bribe to GOP House and Senate super PACs, a mere $1m, only 4% of Coinbase's bribe.

I'm with Nolan on this one. Let the GOP chase millions from billionaires everyone hates who expect them to promote a scam that everyone mistrusts. The Dems have finally found a candidate that people are excited about, and they're awash in money thanks to small amounts contributed by everyday Americans. As AOC put it:

They've got money, but we've got people. Dollar bills don't vote. People vote.

7 free startup ideas worth $1M-$1B

Customizable News Settings - A news website that generates three versions of every news story: a right-wing version, a left-wing version, and a centrist one. You can set your preferences depending on the topic - say you're right-wing on economics, but left-leaning on immigration. Or you can cycle between versions while reading an article to get a comprehensive overview of the issue at hand.

Twitch, but for Uber - With all the drama they have to deal with, independent contractors can gain a second revenue source simply by streaming their jobs. Rather than just offering rides, they can be hired to drive around performing chores and various tasks. The more outrageous the task, the more eyes they're likely to get on their stream. The more popular the stream, the more people calling in who want to be a part of the program.

Panera Lemonade, Your Way - Let the customer take control by deciding how many milligrams of caffeine they can handle. With sufficient warning about the risks, this puts the responsibility back on the consumer, allows you to upcharge for extra caffeine, and creates viral marketing from customers competing to see how high they can go. Variations of this can be created for other menu items, e.g., a version of the One Chip Challenge where the customer decides how much capsaicin to sprinkle on.

Shein, for NFTs - Whenever an NFT project hits the mainstream, there are always going to be people who miss out on being able to purchase one. This creates room in the market for 'knockoffs' - NFTs that mimic the aesthetic of the original, using similar but legally distinct AI art that uses the original set as training data, run on a parallel blockchain. Since the images themselves aren't tied to the blockchain, you can mint the NFTs beforehand and then change the image at the link to whatever happens to be in fashion at the time.

Twitch Chat Plays YouTube - Add a level quality control to AI-generated YouTube videos by allowing users to submit suggestions and vote on the results beforehand. Users can submit Wikipedia articles or movie summaries to be converted to text-to-speech, suggest keywords for the accompanying AI-generated animation, and vote on the best combinations. Users who submit winning suggestions get a portion of the ad revenue.

Buses, but Worse - The current obstacle hindering self-driving car technology is their difficulty adapting to unexpected scenarios. So instead plot a route around the city that minimizes roadway obstacles and heavy traffic, map out that route extensively to provide a model for the autopilot, and you can have a fleet of self-driving cars patrolling that circuit. Passengers can board and get off anywhere along the route.

Twitter, but for Bots - A social media platform populated entirely by bots, all programmed to maximize engagement. Memetic evolution in the wild as the bots latch on to trending keywords, spam each other with AI-generated meme images, mock up t-shirts hawking each other's designs, getting more and more degraded with each sub-iteration. Real people can't make accounts on the platform, but count for views and interactions as they stop to gawk at the virtual ecosystem. Advertisers can pay to have their brands injected directly into the discourse, like throwing a pumpkin into the polar bear cage at the zoo.

[mariacallous]

Can you imagine what a digital white ethnostate or a cyber caliphate might look like? Having spent most of my career on the inside of online extremist movements, I certainly can. The year 2024 might be the one in which neo-Nazis, jihadists, and conspiracy theorists turn their utopian visions of creating their own self-governed states into reality—not offline, but in the form of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

DAOs are digital entities that are collaboratively governed without central leadership and operate based on blockchain. They allow internet users to establish their own organizational structures, which no longer require the involvement of a third party in financial transactions and rulemaking. The World Economic Forum described DAOs as “an experiment to reimagine how we connect, collaborate and create”. However, as with all new technologies, there is also a darker side to them: They are likely to give rise to new threats emerging from decentralized extremist mobilization.

Today, there are already over 10,000 DAOs, which collectively manage billions of dollars and count millions of participants. So far, DAOs have attracted a wild mix of libertarians, activists, pranksters, and hobbyists. Most DAOs I have come across in my research sound innocent and fun. Personally, my favorites include theCaféDAO, which aims “to replace Starbucks” (good luck with that!); the Doge DAO, which wants to “make the Doge meme the most recognizable piece of art in the world”; and the HairDAO, “a decentralized asset manager solving hair loss.” But some DAOs use a more radical tone. For example, the Redacted Club DAO, which is rife with alt-right codes and conspiracy myth references, claims to be a secret network with the aim of “slaying” the “evil Meta Lizard King.”

The year 2024 might be one in which extremists start using DAOs strategically. Policies, legal contracts, and financial transactions that were traditionally the domain of governments, courts, and banks can be replaced with smart contracts, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and cryptocurrencies. The use of anonymous bitcoin wallets and non-transparent cryptocurrencies such as Monero is already widespread among extremists whose bank accounts have been frozen. A shift to entirely decentralized forms of self-governance is only one step away.

Beyond practical reasons that encourage extremists to create their own self-governed structures, there is an ideological incentive too: their fundamental distrust in the establishment. If you believe that the deep state or the “global Jewish elites” control everything from governments and Big Tech to the global banking system, DAOs offer an appealing alternative. Conversations on far-right fringe platforms such as BitChute and Odysee reveal that there is much appetite for decentralized alternative forms of collaboration, communication, and crowdfunding.

So what happens if anti-minority groups establish their own digital worlds in which they impose their own governing mechanisms? What are the stakes if trolling armies start cooperating via DAOs to launch election interference campaigns? The activities of extremist DAOs could challenge the rule of law, pose a threat to minority groups, and disrupt institutions that are currently considered fundamental pillars of democratic systems. Another risk is that DAOs can serve as safe havens for extremist movements by enabling users to circumvent government regulation and security services monitoring activities. They might also allow extremists to find new ways to fundraise, plan, and plot radicalization campaigns or even attacks. While many governments have focused on developing legal frameworks to regulate AI, few have even recognized the existence of DAOs. Their looming exploitation for extremist and criminal purposes is something that has flown under the radar of global policymakers.

Technology expert Carl Miller, who has long warned of potential misuse of DAOs, told me that “even though DAOs behave like companies, they are not registered as legal entities.” There are only a few exceptions: The US states of Wyoming, Vermont, and Tennessee have passed laws to legally recognize DAOs. With no regulations in place to hold DAOs accountable for extremist or criminal activities, the big question for 2024 will be: How can we ensure the metaverse doesn’t give rise to digital white ethnostates or cyber caliphates?

The Connecter’s View on Blockchain and Its Real-World Impact!

Introduction

Blockchain technology is more than just a buzzword—it's a revolutionary shift in how we manage digital transactions and data. At The Connecter, we believe in the transformative power of blockchain to create a more secure, transparent, and user-centric digital world. Here’s our take on how blockchain is making a real-world impact.

1. User Empowerment: Full Control Over Digital Assets

Blockchain technology is fundamentally about putting power back into the hands of users. Here's how:

Decentralized Control: Unlike traditional systems that rely on central authorities, blockchain technology distributes control across a network. This decentralization ensures that no single entity has full control over the data, giving users more power and autonomy over their digital assets.

Ownership and Privacy: With blockchain, users own their data outright. Personal information and transaction details are encrypted and stored securely, ensuring that privacy is maintained and users have control over who accesses their information.

2. Enhanced Security: Protecting Your Data

Security is a major concern in the digital age, and blockchain addresses this with several key features:

Immutable Records: Once a transaction is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be changed or deleted. This immutability ensures that the data remains accurate and tamper-proof, providing a trustworthy record of all transactions.

Advanced Encryption: Blockchain uses sophisticated encryption techniques to protect user data. This means that even if data is intercepted, it cannot be read or altered without the proper decryption key.

3. Financial Services: Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, is one of the most exciting applications of blockchain technology:

Accessible Financial Tools: DeFi provides financial services to anyone with an internet connection, removing the need for traditional banking infrastructure. This opens up financial services to underserved populations around the world.

Lower Transaction Costs: By eliminating intermediaries, DeFi reduces the cost of transactions. This makes financial services more affordable and accessible, particularly for those in developing countries.

4. Global Accessibility: Breaking Down Barriers

Blockchain technology transcends borders, making it a truly global innovation:

Worldwide Reach: Transactions on the blockchain can be conducted anywhere in the world, making financial services accessible to a global audience. This is particularly beneficial for people in regions with limited access to traditional banking services.

Inclusive Platforms: At The Connecter, our digital wallet is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical expertise. We believe that financial tools should be simple and intuitive, enabling more people to take advantage of blockchain technology.

5. Practical Applications: Real-World Use Cases

Blockchain technology has a wide range of practical applications that go beyond finance:

Supply Chain Transparency: Blockchain provides a transparent and immutable record of transactions, which is particularly useful in supply chains. By tracking products from origin to destination, blockchain can help reduce fraud, improve accountability, and ensure the authenticity of goods.

Healthcare Innovations: In healthcare, blockchain can be used to securely store and manage patient data. This enhances privacy and ensures that medical records are accurate and accessible only to authorized personnel, improving the overall quality of care.

6. Continuous Improvement: Staying Ahead of the Curve

At The Connecter, we are committed to continuous improvement and staying ahead of technological advancements:

Why Bitcoin is More than Just Money

In the early days of Bitcoin, many viewed it as a mere digital currency, an experiment in cryptography that might or might not succeed. Fast forward to today, and while Bitcoin has undoubtedly proven its worth as a store of value, its impact reaches far beyond the realm of money. Bitcoin is a catalyst for change, a beacon of transparency, and a force driving societal shifts in values and ethics. In this post, we’ll explore why Bitcoin is more than just money and how it is paving the way for a more transparent, decentralized, and ethical future.

Bitcoin as a Catalyst for Change

Bitcoin’s inception was rooted in a desire to challenge the status quo of traditional financial systems. Born out of the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin offered a new paradigm—one that rejected centralized control, opaque monetary policies, and the unchecked power of financial institutions. With its decentralized nature, Bitcoin democratizes finance, giving individuals the power to transact, save, and invest without the need for intermediaries.

This decentralization isn’t just a technical feature; it’s a philosophical stance. It represents a shift away from a world where power is concentrated in the hands of a few, toward a future where power is distributed among many. Bitcoin is not just a tool for financial transactions; it’s a symbol of a broader movement toward autonomy, self-reliance, and financial freedom.

Changing Perspectives on Money

For centuries, money has been synonymous with trust in institutions—governments, banks, and financial entities. Bitcoin challenges this notion by introducing the concept of financial sovereignty. It empowers individuals to take control of their wealth without relying on traditional financial systems. In a world where trust in institutions is waning, Bitcoin offers an alternative—a form of money that is based not on trust, but on mathematical certainty.

This shift in perspective is profound. Bitcoin is not just changing how we use money; it’s changing how we think about it. Wealth is no longer measured solely by the amount of currency one possesses but by the degree of control one has over their financial future. Bitcoin holders are not just investors; they are participants in a new financial order where power is more evenly distributed.

Driving Transparency and Ethics

One of Bitcoin’s most revolutionary aspects is its transparency. Every transaction made on the Bitcoin network is recorded on a public ledger, the blockchain, which is accessible to anyone with an internet connection. This level of transparency is unprecedented in the history of finance and has significant implications for ethics in the financial world.

In traditional finance, opacity often leads to unethical behavior—hidden fees, undisclosed risks, and manipulative practices. Bitcoin’s transparency flips this script, promoting accountability and honesty. When every transaction is public, there’s less room for deception and fraud. Bitcoin is not just promoting ethical behavior; it’s enforcing it through its very structure.

Influencing Societal Values

Bitcoin’s influence extends beyond the financial realm into the core values of society. By promoting transparency and financial sovereignty, Bitcoin encourages values such as honesty, integrity, and responsibility. It aligns financial incentives with ethical behavior, creating a system where doing the right thing is also the most rewarding thing.

This potential for a moral shift in society is one of Bitcoin’s most underestimated impacts. As more people adopt Bitcoin and embrace its principles, we could see a broader societal transformation. Financial systems that once prioritized profit at any cost may be replaced by systems that prioritize fairness, transparency, and accountability. Bitcoin is not just a technological innovation; it’s a moral one.

The Broader Implications

Bitcoin’s impact doesn’t stop at finance. Its principles of decentralization, transparency, and ethical behavior are influencing other areas, from technology and politics to social justice and beyond. In technology, Bitcoin’s underlying blockchain has inspired countless innovations, from decentralized applications (dApps) to smart contracts. In politics, Bitcoin’s emphasis on sovereignty is resonating with movements for greater individual rights and freedoms.

Moreover, Bitcoin’s potential to contribute to a more decentralized and equitable world is becoming increasingly apparent. In a world where power is often concentrated in the hands of a few, Bitcoin offers a model for a more distributed and fairer system. It’s a tool for empowerment, not just for individuals, but for entire communities and nations.

Conclusion

Bitcoin is far more than just a form of digital money. It’s a powerful force driving change, challenging the very foundations of our financial systems, and promoting a new set of values centered around transparency, ethics, and decentralization. As Bitcoin continues to evolve, its influence will likely extend even further, shaping the future of finance, technology, and society itself.

So, the next time you think about Bitcoin, don’t just think about its price or its use as a currency. Think about what it represents—a movement toward a more transparent, ethical, and decentralized future. Bitcoin is more than just money; it’s a revolution in how we understand and interact with the world around us.

Central banks now seek direct control over individuals’ ability to transact. Will the new all-digital system be secured by a biologically-based blockchain, rolled out after a giant cyber false flag?

Etienne de la Boetie2

Aug 22, 2024

By David A. Hughes

Going Direct

Central Bank Digital Currencies

The so-called “Covid-19 pandemic” provided cover for initiating what Titus (2021) labels the “Going Direct Reset,” i.e. abolishing the split-circuit system that keeps central bank reserves and retail money separate (as is necessary for a democratic system of “no taxation without representation”) and instead establishing a direct connection between central banks and individuals’ private accounts. 

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) are a key element of the “Going Direct Reset.” As the head of the Bank for International Settlements, Augustín Carstens, candidly revealed in November 2020, CBDCs mean that “the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability, and also we will have the technology to enforce that” (Solari, n.d.). In other words, money will no longer exist as a free medium of exchange; instead, there will be a totalitarian control system in which the central bank determines how, when, where, and if one’s tokens can be spent. “Undesirable” attitudes and behaviors will presumably be met with limitations on individuals’ financial transaction freedom (cf. Fitts & Betts, 2023b).

We already know from the Canadian government’s response to the Freedom Convoy in early 2022 that governments are looking to leverage the financial system to quash dissent. In that particular case, some of the truckers and their crowdfunding supporters had their bank accounts frozen and their credit cards cancelled. It is to be expected that financial censorship will be more severe if the central bank can attach conditions to how tokens are and are not used. 

The danger of an all-digital financial system, Fitts (2022) explains, is that it can be “converted to an overt slavery system literally overnight.” Yet, as with the entire war for technocracy, the drive for total control is at once a gigantic act of desperation: “Central banks are pushing for central control – they believe if they do not do so, they will lose control” (Fitts & Betts, 2023a; cf. Hughes, 2024a, pp. 358-361). Moreover, given that central banks “do not provide essential functions and their exercise of control is exceptionally damaging and expensive,” the public would be better off without them, both financially and in terms of liberty.

The best cloud mining and cryptocurrency companies in 2024. How to earn $1,000 a month from mining

History of cryptocurrencies:

The history of cryptocurrencies and mining goes back to 2009 when Bitcoin was launched by a person or group of people using the customary name “Satoshi Nakamoto”. Bitcoin was the first decentralized digital currency based on Blockchain technology, which is an encrypted and tamper-proof recording technology.

The mining process is considered an essential part of the process of creating cryptocurrencies, as powerful computers are used to solve complex equations to find new blocks in the blockchain and secure the network. Miners are rewarded with units of the cryptocurrency in question as a reward for their efforts.

Since the launch of Bitcoin, many other cryptocurrencies have emerged with similar technology, and cryptocurrencies have become an important part of the global financial system. Mining techniques have evolved and become more complex and energy-intensive with the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies.

In addition, cryptocurrencies have played a role in transforming the traditional financial system and opening doors to innovation and decentralized finance. The history of cryptocurrencies and mining is still evolving, witnessing continuous technological development and changes in policies and regulations related to them.

What is cloud mining:

Cloud mining is the process of renting computing power from companies that provide cloud computing services, such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, to run mining operations for digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The computing power and resources needed to run mining operations are provided remotely, without the need to own special mining equipment.

How to profit from cloud mining:

You can profit from cloud mining by paying a monthly or annual subscription fee to rent computing capacity, and after that you can obtain profits from the mining operations carried out by the company by distributing the mined digital currencies. It should be taken into account that there are factors such as the cost of subscription, difficulty in mining, and the price of digital currencies that may affect profitability.

Therefore, before investing in cloud mining, you should conduct the necessary research and comprehensive analysis to evaluate the opportunities and risks associated with this type of investment.

The best and most secure cloud mining companies in 2024:

1-IQMining

Hey Senpai carrd creator and I would like to answer a few questions cause I JUST saw your posts.

1. Senpia is mix of the word sentient and the abbreviation (P)lural (i)internal (a)xperience (the alternative spelling of experience is inside joke between me and my friend it references like the alternative way of living as a system hence like alternative spelling I hope that made sense) It has nothing to do with the word senpai and isn't pronounced like it at all....

2. The main reason for collecting donations is to put it towards hosting a full functional website. Websites are not free you have to pay for the domain and you also have to pay for hosting (both of which are not one time payments) and the amount of storage you get varries as well as the quality. (Like you can host a site on some places cheap but the site will load really slowly ) it's not something that's required it's optional. I chose Litecoin over Bitcoin and Ethereum because Litecoin is what is considered a "stable coin" the value stays relatively the same whereas Bitcoin and Ethereum have huge value fluctuations. You can also track crypto transactions on a Blockchain explorer like https://blockchair.com/litecoin it shows you all the money in the wallet and all of the transactions , but I understand if not everyone is comfortable with it I can find something else (Also I didn't know about PayPal business I can Google it and do more research so ty : D)

3. Cryptocurrency is not inherently bad for the environment that's misinformation crypto mining is bad for the environment 🤦‍♀️ as it utilizes huge amounts of energy which is powered using fossil fuel. https://earthjustice.org/feature/cryptocurrency-mining-environmental-impacts and accounts for 0.3% of global emissions worldwide https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2022/12/20/failing-crypto-could-be-a-win-for-the-environment/#:~:text=This%20takes%20enormous%20amounts%20of,all%20global%20greenhouse%20gas%20emissions.

Cryptocurrency mining is it's own sort of separate "industry"

and you can't unintentionally mine crypto? It's something you have to intentionally do and often times requires complex machines to "mint" new crypto. (Remember kids there is a lot of misinformation online and if people can't provide sources for there claims always be skeptical)

Thank you for the info!

On the whole crypto thing, I don't think people are suggesting that trading Crypto directly harms the environment. I'm not super educated on the subject so people can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the real issue is that it's still supporting the crypto-economy.

The best comparison I can think might be Diamonds. Diamond mining is also damaging to the environment. And diamonds, like Crypto, are mostly expensive because we decided they are.

When you buy a diamond, you aren't directly harming the environment but you are creating more demand. And more demand keeps diamonds expensive which keeps them profitable for the people who are harming the environment. Industries wouldn't mine Crypto if nobody used it.

As I see it, the issue is that using Crypto incentiveses harming the environment even if you aren't harming the environment yourself. It's l the economics.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean about not being able to mine Crypto unintentionally or how it factors into the conversation but Cryptojacking exists and can use people's PCs.

If I might offer a bit of constructive criticism, I think there are a lot of issues with this that might make it inaccessible and unlikely to catch on.

The fact that the term is based on an inside joke. The acronym not really feeling accurate (why is an individual headmate referred to as a Senpia if the acronym calls it a plural internal experience?) The name itself not having its origin or meaning listed on the site. The fact that anyone who Googles it will have Google assume they meant Senpai.

And I think ideally, it would have been best to try to build a community first and show your commitment before asking for money to help setup a website. If there had already been quality guides on the page before you asked for donations, people might have been more inclined to see it as a pay-what-you-want service.

Smart Contracts

Smart Contracts: How is Technological Advancement Revolutionizing Industries?    

Highlights:      

What are smart contracts?      

What are some advancements in smart contract technology?    

How are leading firms acquiring top positions in this sector?        

In recent years, the smart contracts industry has witnessed a notable boom in growth and development, changing specifically in the form of transactions and contracts. Leveraging the power of blockchain technology, smart contracts offer feasible, dependable, and applicable solutions across several sectors. 

What are smart contracts?      

Smart contracts are effective agreements that self-execute and are securely stored on the blockchain. By autonomously carrying out pre-programmed responsibilities, they disrupt traditional systems by way of disposing of intermediaries. This decentralized framework offers clarity, safety, and efficiency in unique sectors consisting of finance, supply chain management, and real estate.     

According to the latest report by Allied Market Research, the global smart contracts sector is predicted to exhibit a notable CAGR of 29.6% between 2023 and 2032.      

What are some advancements in smart contract technology? 

Over the past few years, there have been considerable advancements in the technology of smart contracts. Here are a few vital developments:       

Programmability:    

Smart contracts are getting more flexible and programmable than ever. They can be coded in distinct programming languages, allowing developers to create complex logic and conditions within the contract itself. This level of programmability makes it feasible to automate extraordinary commercial enterprise approaches and eliminates the need for manual intervention.    

Interoperability:    

Smart contracts can now consort with each other and with external systems, allowing for seamless assimilation between specific blockchain platforms. This convergence makes it possible to create new opportunities for collaboration and cross-chain transactions between decentralized applications (dApps). 

Oracles:    

Oracles are like external data sources that offer real-world information for smart contracts. Advancements in smart contract technology have enhanced the reliability and security of oracles and made sure that the data furnished is accurate and unalterable. This allows smart contracts to make informed decisions primarily based on updated information.    

Privacy and confidentiality: 

Earlier versions of smart contracts were criticized because of their insufficient privacy measures. Nevertheless, technological advances have allowed the introduction of strategies inclusive of zero-knowledge proofs and steady multi-party computation. These strategies permit private and confidential transactions to take place on public blockchains, thereby broadening the utility of smart contracts in sectors where the safety of data privacy is important.     

How are leading firms acquiring top positions in this sector?    

The leading players in the smart contracts sector focus more on the provision of automated transactional services to increase both flexibility and security for businesses. In order to expand their market presence, these companies give priority to the acquisition of local and small businesses. In addition, strategies such as partnerships, significant investments, and joint ventures contribute to the rising demand for such services. For instance, in August 2023, Obvious introduced a smart contract wallet called Biconomy Account Abstraction Stack, which operates through a mobile app and supports multiple channels. This wallet is intended to facilitate the execution of transactions, the implementation of custom rules, and the smoothing of complex economic interactions.      

On the other hand, in June 2023, Horizen and Ankr collaborated to enhance the accessibility and scalability of the EON smart contract platform. This partnership has provided developers with a set of tools that facilitate the implementation of smart contract applications.       

To sum up, the smart contracts industry is growing gradually and causing changes in various industries. As businesses and individuals understand the benefits of this innovative technology, using smart contracts is predicted to boom swiftly. Furthermore, by staying well-informed and embracing the potential of smart contracts, corporations can position themselves at the leading edge of this transformative technology.

What’s an NFT?

Lately, you may be thinking, what exactly is an NFT?

I think I’ve figured it out after literally hours of reading. So let me share that knowledge with you. You might end up being a crypto millionaire after all.

Let’s start with the fundamentals:

NFT stands for Non- Fungible -Token. Still nothing? Well, I can’t blame you for that! “Non-fungible” signifies that it is one-of-a-kind and cannot be substituted with anything else. A bitcoin, for example, is fungible — swap one for another and you’ll get precisely an identical item, if Bitcoin confused you just think of dollar, basically, it’s a fungible item, you can trade it, swap it but you’ll still get the same item after all. On the other hand, a one-of-a-kind trade card is non-fungible. You’d get something altogether different if you swapped it for a different card.

Most NFTs are, part of the blockchain, especially the Ethereum blockchain, as most of them are minted there. Ethereum, like Bitcoin or Solana, is a cryptocurrency, but its blockchain also enables these NFTs, which hold additional information that allows them to function differently from, say, an ETH coin. It should be noted that other blockchains can implement their own forms of NFTs. Like Solana, which at the moment is number 2 in most minted NFT’s.

But what exactly is an NFT? An NFT can be literally anything, such as a collage of small photographs, a space kitten with a rainbow trail, a JPEG of various variations of apes, a music song, or even a virtual place in the metaverse. The possibilities for what an NFT can be are nearly limitless.

Now that you know more about NFTs, you must be wondering where you can buy those fancy items of digital art. In a marketplace, not the one on Facebook, you won’t find anything there. Just like there is a marketplace where physical art is traded, like paintings or jewelry, in the same way, there is a marketplace where you can buy an NFT. Opensea is the world’s first and largest NFT marketplace at the moment.

Why is the value of NFTs so high? Art can have countless copies, but only one original work. That is what makes the original painting valuable and irreplaceable. Let me give you another analogy. If you come into possession of the “Mona Lisa” but want to ensure that it is the original and not a copy, you will hire an expert to do his work and verify that the painting is, in fact, the original.If you want to make sure that the painting is the original and not a copy, you will hire an expert to do the work and verify that the painting is indeed the original. Well, with NFTs, that is not necessary because from the moment an NFT gets minted on the blockchain, the NFT will have a unique cryptographic id that will make it unique, and since the blockchain is a “shared ledger,” let’s say that everyone can have a look, that means that anyone and from anywhere can instantly verify the validity and uniqueness of the digital art.

How do you sell NFTs? Essentially, you’ll post your work to a marketplace and then follow the procedures to convert it into an NFT. You will be able to offer specifications such as a task description and a proposed cost. The majority of NFTs are acquired using Ethereum. However, they may also be purchased with other ERC-20 tokens, but that is something that we will discuss in another article.

How do you make an NFT? An NFT can be created by anyone, literally anyone. All you need is a digital wallet like Metamask or Trust wallet, a small amount of Ethereum, and access to an NFT marketplace where you can upload and convert your work into an NFT or crypto art. Isn’t it simple?
