APster assassination markets are prediction markets
by professor rat 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Where-ever prediction markets are used widely ( a Futarchy ) APster assassination markets will be more common as a subset of them. And both are starting to become more popular. So called ' cancellations ' may be seen as a soft form of assassination. Crypto-currency got so big so fast it left some of these corollaries behind. But no matter how big crypto-currencies get they will always remain a subset of crypto-anarchy. Imagining a world of peaceful agorism without APster is just wishful thinking & fantasy. The more cryptoanarchism takes over the more these Ancap wankers will be marginalized. As they have been here since 1995. And if they ever become a nuisance - for example, providing cover for known fascists like Thiel Kochsucker, Pooter and Trump-types - they will be cancelled with extreme prejudice.

FCC WiFi tax?

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/12/fcc-panel-wants-to-tax-internet… "A Federal Communications Commission advisory committee has proposed a new tax on Netflix, Google, Facebook, and many other businesses that require Internet access to operate. If adopted by states, the recommended tax would apply to subscription-based retail services that require Internet access, such as Netflix, and to advertising-supported services that use the Internet, such as Google and Facebook. The tax would also apply to any small- or medium-sized business that charges subscription fees for online services or uses online advertising. The tax would also apply to any provider of broadband access, such as cable or wireless operators.The collected money would go into state rural broadband deployment funds that would help bring faster Internet access to sparsely populated areas. Similar universal service fees are already assessed on landline phone service and mobile phone service nationwide. Those phone fees contribute to federal programs such as the FCC's Connect America Fund, which pays AT&T and other carriers to deploy broadband in rural areas." "The state tax proposal comes from the FCC's Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee (BDAC), a group criticized by San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo—who quit the committee—"for advancing the interests of the telecommunications industry over those of the public." BDAC members include AT&T, Comcast, Google Fiber, Sprint, other ISPs and industry representatives, researchers, advocates, and local government officials."

I am the Crypto Lord your Regulator God, who brought you out of the land of Anarchism, out of the house of wage-slavery; you shall have no other Big Dogs before me. You shall not make for yourself a fake police badge, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Binance Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the KYC/AML day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but regulated the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. Honor your father Satoshi and that mother Btc Jesus, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder Ross ye even though he would cut your throat soon as look at you. You shall not commit adultery with Julian's Harem. You shall not steal - that's the governments job. You shall not bear market false Segwit against Backstabber You shall not covet Iron Dome’s house; you shall not covet a Swedish wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to Russia.
