> Craig Steven Wright's Bitcoin Copyright 5-20-2019 Completely irrelavant. Cryptocurrency has evolved well past it's first instance, well past all such claimants and any silly need for its first BDFL, and will continue to do so, rightly. Craig's a pompous asshole, that alone, plus all the rest, including his no coin privacy stance (a soon to be classwide failure already being exploited by legacy global penchants and foibles), is enough to discourage cryptocurrency away from anything he's involved in. Distributed p2p privacy cryptocurrency doesn't need money, or copyrights, trademarks, patents, licences, closed blobs, censorship, surveillance, control, corporations, or governments, or Craig, to succeed. That's the whole point. So stop looking to waste your time trying to centralize and cheer around central things and people like this. That will fail in the end. Instead, put time into getting a scalable, distributed, and privacy cryptocurrency adopted ASAP.

To clarify, the worst injury that could occur if a prosecutor pursues a weak case is having a worse percentage win rate when he decides to talk up private practice. The idea that a prosecutor's self-gain overrides other considerations is heretical, but in terms of cause and effect, an unrelated party can be faulted for a prosecutor's timidity, and for the prosecutor's notion that they are representing the victims to whom they've so utterly lied to.

Fundamentals of Anglophonic Common Law
by Ryan Carboni 23 May '19

The government is made of institutions. The press is an institution. The government makes the law, but it doesn't do so in a commonly acknowledged fashion, it does so by prejudicing the result, if the law is weak in an area. This is how new laws are passed, this is how old laws are reinterpreted. Usually the press frames a situation as a moral issue, and either juries would see it as such, or legislators would. Perhaps the average Trump supporter doesn't understand why they support Trump, nor does the average Democrat, but one thing is clear, if the allegations against Trump are true, they would vote out the entire government. There is a certain ridiculousness to it all. The press is publishing leaks on tangentially related items to the Trump investigation, the Trump investigation seems political motivated because they haven't charged anyone with what Republicans would see as valid crimes, but even if it was focused.... Hyperbole like "hack the election", "Alfa bank data laundering", if true, would be incredible. This seems to be a systematic mishandling and inability to actually prosecute competently. If the honest truth was released, people would see it for what it is, not even a circus, but a clownshow.
