With practically all stocks rising in the crypto-currency markets I found this interesting article. https://dailyhodl.com/2021/10/16/crypto-traders-most-bullish-on-polkadot-so… "... the participants are not necessarily holding the cryptocurrencies that they voted for. “They can of course vote according to their own positions, but also just based on their sentiment or forward looking. There are many reasons why the own book might not be 1:1 the preferred allocation.” Bitcoin (BTC) is conspicuously absent from the list. Pal highlights that the community is responsible for that absence. “It’s not us – it’s the community who makes the allocation . . ." This could be the death of God ( Big Dog ) And not a moment too soon!

" . . . most of the Trumper's think Assange is a good guy. I would have loved to see a documentary ( I like outdated documentaries like the War at Home, Battle of Chile and The Revolution will not be Televised ) made on how Roger Stone and Randy Credico tried to get pardons for Assange ( on 4 occasions after receiving much praise from Trump during the campaign) . . .

If you value freedom and democracy you will violently reject Mises / Dolfuss Hayek / Pinochet Rothbard / the-not-anarchist statist Thiel / Trump / Assange / Bannon / Szabo / Gramps / Hettinga / Young / etc You know - all those Randite-Paultard-Austro-Libertarian losers, liars and thieves.

Now they're re-writing the c-punk narrative

Its worth repeating a few home truths. https://web.archive.org/web/20140403012916/http://www.finney.org/~hal/ "... Politics Unlike many early Cypherpunks, I never viewed cryptography as a gateway to a libertarian society..." And speaking of politics its " crypto-anarchy ' not ' cyber-liberty ' or crypto-privacy ". Eliding the anarchy is a counter-revolutionary act - a capital crime.

Burying the Satoshi departure lede

Correlation is not causation but Gavin Andresen previously served as technical lead developer for the Bitcoin project, and was even credited as Nakamoto’s successor. On April 27, 2011, Andresen publically claimed to be preparing to talk Bitcoin at an emerging technologies conference at the CIA headquarters. A few months after Andresen’s CIA visit, he appeared on a Bitcoin podcast to discuss its development. There, Andresen was quickly asked to reveal the last time he’d been contacted by Nakamoto. “Um, I haven’t had email from [Nakamoto] in a couple of months, actually,” Andresen replied. “The last email I sent him, I actually told him I was going to talk at the CIA. So it’s possible that… that may have had something to do with their deciding [to leave].”
