Keep clamoring for stupid legal stretches and creating State's interference in everything then don't be surprised when they indeed grow and turn on you. They've apparently already got you afraid to speak freely. On all manner of things, fact or opinion or otherwise. That's a sad state of affairs you've all created.

Which is funny regarding part of crypto's natural role and philosophy in enabling free speech, etc... if mods are going to approve some drifting off strict mathematical crypto conversation into the rest of the list's posted charter, that being... the technological, legal, political, jurisdictional, security, privacy, social, impacts, etc around cryptography ...one should at least let threads play out fairly before returning to fine mathematical ruminations and creations. Or let crypto checksum filters applied by the distributed p2p endpoints do it. This email Shiva Ayyadurai guy who some call fraud isn't much in the cryptographical space, while this cryptocurrency Craig Wright guy some call fraud is, at least in an "application uses it" and potential influencer fashion. Funny also how both centralized messaging and currency (and registries, re ie potentially copyright, ridiculous as such terms are) are moving to distributed systems to prevent such fraud and censorship. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=censorship+resistant+messaging https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqOtKCUfP1M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rzcgpdj7SA https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=craig+wright+fraud https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jamie+dimon+fraud You probably don't want all sorts of things in and affecting your underlying systems, the ones the majority of the world will be relying on in part in some way in the near future. Create and set free cool decentralized cryptographic[ally private] apps. The open market, consumers, supply and demand will sort, filter, and adopt them. Copyright, Trademark, Patents, Governance, hardly have place in open distributed systems, else they aren't, by definition. Besides, nonprivacy insistant coins like BitcoinSV are *clearly* worse than Fiat Cash in privacy regard... no one in their right mind should want such an invasion, spying, datamining, and arbitrary censorship enabling system. Get rid of those, evolve, become free.

Scientific fraud
by Punk 30 May '19

30 May '19

I'm referring to the so called 'theory of relativity' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Essen "I had rather naively thought that scientists would be glad to have an explanation of the confusion which had existed for so long and would at least pay some attention to my explanation, since I had more practical experience in these matters than all the relativitists put together. But I was wrong. No one attempted to refute my arguments although they justified Einstein by repeating his thought experiment and his mistakes in different forms. I was, however, dropped some pretty broad hints that if I continued to criticise the theory my reputation and career prospects were likely to suffer." http://web.archive.org/web/20041206205755/http://www.btinternet.com:80/~tim… http://web.archive.org/web/20041206205755/http://www.btinternet.com:80/~tim… ps : notice how piece of shit western 'civilization' is built on fraud at all levels, not just in the political sphere.

3-month vs 10-year USA bonds inverted - ~= GFC/ 1929/ 2000 tech bubble burst → major recession inside 12 months from now
by Zenaan Harkness 30 May '19

30 May '19

The global financial system wheels are wobbling pretty seriously now, super charged QE is all but outta steam and key financial charts are inverting - 3 month vs 10 year USA Treasury bonds have inverted - i.e. 10yr bond returning LOWER (~1%) than the 3 month bond = investors are spooked and running to the 10-year "safety net"; but problem is, sometimes a seismic "1929 style" event hits and many predictions predict we're on the precipice of such. With all the worlds banker's banks (ECB, BOJ, USA's Fed) pumping out QE fiat billions per day just to keep their wheels turning, I can't believe it's not buggered. You know you crash it. Crash me long time muffaluggerah. Zerowedgie's prediction, based on the 2000 tech bubble burst and more particularly the late 2006 to 2008 housing collapse and GFC (12 month lag from the point when the 3-month to 10-year bonds inverted), is we have about 12 months between now and the next, major, collapse. Be warned. Be prepared. Good luck. Buckle Up: a Crash Trigger Has Hit https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-29/buckle-crash-trigger-has-hit

Re: Fundamentals of Anglophonic Common Law

"hell bent[sic] on destroying the planetary ecosystem that makes its own existence possible presents very few laughs." The EPA released tailings into the Animas River, and the immediate response was to limit legal liability through the use of waivers. This is the Chernobyl mindset.
