Conservatives make a weak case against Govt Shitcoins
by professor rat 06 Aug '22

06 Aug '22

It is not obvious that monetary policy needs additional flexibility, and any benefits from eliminating physical currency must be balanced against the costs of digital surveillance and the loss of privacy.” https://dailyhodl.com/2022/08/05/us-conservative-political-organization-mak… This sort of argument is true as far as it goes but I don't see how these cons respond to govts airdropping their shit and promising to turn a blind eye on smaller transaction surveillance. The fascist Chinese are already making the running on this! Practical money-laundering tactics and a huge regulatory-arbitrage PR campaign look like a better response from this self-described, progressive, leftist anarchist. And the notion cons care about consumers is completely risible. Most of their stink-tanks revolve around screwing consumers wholesale. When in power this type of con is as bad as Marxist-Communists. ( Sear Dolfuss 34 and Pinochet 73 ) Consumers beware the walking brain-dead.

DOGE could be e-cash to Big Dog's e-gold

I hate to agree with Mollusk, but . . . https://dailyhodl.com/2022/08/05/billionaire-elon-musk-reveals-why-he-suppo… And DOGE ( or similar ) beating shitcoins like the Chinamerican crap will underline net-hegemony for all to see and for all time. Chinamerica only continues to run some petty things so long as a lot of people believe they run things - they stop believing - *they* stop running some things.

The text of the article does not go into any detail about the information in this graph. The graph seems to state that both The Tricontinental Institute, and The Peopl'es Forum, have been funded by Goldman Sachs. This was the first I had seen anywhere about this. This almost smacks of Alex Jones-like conspiracy mongering. <<< https://groups.io/g/marxmail/topic/can_china_rescue_global/92796054?p=Creat… Reposts as is

xNY.io - Bank.org: BitLicense STX, MIA Coin and NYCCoin Litigation (Application)
by Gunnar Larson 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Dear Bitcoin Developer Fund: Thank you for our recent correspondence. Today, I would like to clarify the following details to xNY.io - Bank.org’s approach to Bitcoin innovation and our ultimate ask for your support in our BitLicense strategic blueprint. May I also submit this as an international Blockchain Scholar looking to help pioneer next generation Bitcoin development. Attached, kindly find xNY.io - Bank.org records requests considering STX. Note, STX opeates as a POX scheme on top of the Bitcoin Blockchain. Out of New York, STX was approved for Coinbase custody that gave way to CityCoins obvious abuse of the Bitcoin Blockchain, engaging the now failed MIA Coin and NYCCoin projects. xNY (the token concepet) has documentation from the City of Miami and United States Treasury confirming the probable cause for our concern that STX's POX scheme abused the Bitcoin Blockchain to exasperate fraud of the Mayor of Miami endorsing MIA Coin as a serious project. NYCCoin is something that the Mayor of New York had immunity from given the BitLicense mandate. xNY.io - Bank.org has been found to be a true borderless protector of Bitcoin and as you see in the attached, New Yorl is half hearted to our reasonable approach to cultivate a pure approach to the next generation of Bitcoin developers. We have a plan to all this and seek your assistance on the legal defense to our BitLicense approach. Please advise if we may discuss this more.
