13% of Americans still say they’ll “never” get vaccinated. That’s still a lot of dummies. But it’s barely half of what the number was six months ago. https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/we-knew-these-numbers-would-go-this-w…

Federal court orders Justice Department to stop extracting data from James O’Keefe's phones

Federal court orders Justice Department to stop extracting data from James O’Keefe's phones https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/federal-court-orders-justic… Jim Bell's comment: I find this search, of Project Veritas, to be outrageous. Obviously, PV opposes just about everything Biden and his cronies work for. For excellent reasons!!! It's not even clear why the FBI has any jurisdiction in this case. Other than a mere allegation that Biden's daughter's diary was stolen, remember that Biden didn't hold Federal office for nearly 4 years prior to the 2020 election. Biden should not be allowed to use the FBI to harass political opponents.

Kenneth Griffin, billionaire CEO of American hedge fund Citadel, thinks a currency on the Ethereum network will replace Bitcoin (BTC) as crypto’s top dog. Citadel manages over $40 billion of capital — a quarter of the trading volume in the United States stock market. During this Wednesday’s Nov. 10 DealBook summit hosted by The New York Times, Griffin said that he anticipates that the “Bitcoin-based conception [will be] replaced by the Ethereum-based conception in the next generation of cryptocurrencies.” He added that Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies have “the benefits of higher transaction speeds [and] lower cost per transaction.” Ethereum is only slightly faster than Bitcoin at present but will significantly scale up transaction speeds and lower costs when Ethereum 2.0 is fully implemented.

Cyber liberty ( for right libertarians ) or crypto anarchy ( for left anarchists ) Choose one. There is only one question here - who is to be master. That's all. This may help you. Twilight of the crypto-geeks. Ellen Ullman’s Salon sees a pattern of lone-wolf digital libertarians beginning to abandon their faith in technology uber alles and espouse suspiciously socialist-sounding ideas. https://theworld.com/~mhuben/cypher.html

Some cypherpunks are now happy hodlers, the other nocoiners among them are frozen and lashing out in fear of crypto's ongoing anarchist assault. No prizes for guessing whose going to the guillotine. BTC may not use more dirty fuel and electrons than all GovMilBank Worldwide but theres zero harm in framing them like that. Morons like M. Saylor and Samson Mow make this easy when they go on CBS and bray Big God will go up ' forever '.
