an a technical (not legal) expert on this subject, my advice is you not take ANY devices across the US border any longer. for burner phones, exercise extreme caution: DO NOT LOG IN to anything until you are safely across the border. UNINSTALL ALL APPS before returning home

Step 1: You have a problem Step 2: You introduce a blockchain to solve problem Step 3: You now have an incentives problem, a trust distribution problem, a community management problem, a regulation problem, a speculation problem, an upgrade path problem...

1/ In this thread I make a philosophical argument for Bitcoin being a socially scalable contribution to conflict prevention in society, contrasting it with the current system of monetary interventionism.

Cryptocurrency most important areas for improvement over the next few years: * More secure storage (key management) * Trust-minimized (decentralized) exchanges * Make 2nd layers more user-friendly, especially via automated routing, while not overly sacrificing trust minimization

Everyone needs to know just how wildly dangerous the European Union’s vote this week could be for the global Internet, and the undecided members of the European Parliament must consider the massive worldwide ramifications of their votes. (1/24)

#Bitcoin is the most underrated yet most powerful socioeconomic experiment in this century. In one sweep,its mere existence is debunking decades of propaganda about monetary theory,while proving that anarchy (absence of authority)does in fact work. No wonder no one understands it

The cool thing about cyberpunk coming true is that we got ALL the cyberpunk futures. China: universal surveillance and social control America: cool gadgets and staggering inequality Russia: shadowy plots, covert ops, and assasins Japan: Japan

1/ Below is my perception/(limited) understanding of Peter Thiel's worldview: People don’t understand how important economic growth is. It’s the only thing sustaining the planet. Without it, we go into malthusian war. teapaw.org/then_there_was/status/…
It's a shame Peter Thiel keeps his most controversial ideas to himself. I've listened to about ~13 interviews—he rarely deviates from the script. He really is like a chess master, planning his moves several steps ahead.

Let's discuss cross-coin price correlation. It is an overlooked market indicator so it's worth a thread.

Thread: 1/ The *cost* of #bitcoin mining is a combined safety and distribution feature.. Contrary to popular belief, this cost is destined to become a huge environmental benefit in the future..

The transition to crypto anarchy is quite confusing; expect it to get worse before it gets better. Beware those who present themselves (or others) as authorities. Don't accept any single signal as objective truth, even if it's convenient to do so.

Blockchains are nothing more than multiple copies of a database. We've had them since the 1970s. The PoW algorithm to keep these databases synchronzied and the data validated in a way that no one participating in it can cheat or control it ... is. #bitcoin
