The computer says...

Creating a community-focused Bitcoin mining operation can be an innovative social enterprise, but it requires thorough planning, especially concerning feasibility and costs. Here’s an overview of the critical aspects to consider:

### 1. **Feasibility Assessment**
- **Community Benefits**: The primary aim is to benefit the community through shared profits. This could fund local projects, support local initiatives, or even provide services or amenities to the community.
- **Local Interest**: It's crucial to gauge the community's interest and willingness to participate, either through funding, labor, or consuming the generated Bitcoin.
- **Regulatory Compliance**: Understand local laws regarding cryptocurrency mining, including any licensing, zoning, or environmental regulations that may apply.

### 2. **Costs**
#### **Initial Setup Costs**
- **Mining Equipment**: The cost of Bitcoin miners varies significantly based on their hash rate (measured in terahashes per second, TH/s) and power consumption. Here are some current options and prices:
  - **Bitmain Antminer S19 XP**: Approximately £5,249 ($6,499), offers a hash rate of 140 TH/s and consumes 3010 W【6†source】【7†source】.
  - **MicroBT Whatsminer M50S**: Around £2,457 ($2,999) with a hash rate of 126 TH/s and power consumption of 3276 W【6†source】【8†source】.
  - **Ebang Ebit E11++**: Available for about £289 ($350), providing 44 TH/s and using 1980 W【6†source】【7†source】.
  - **Bitmain Antminer T9+**: A more budget-friendly option at around £323 ($399), offering 10.5 TH/s with 1432 W consumption【7†source】【8†source】.

#### **Operating Costs**
- **Electricity**: Mining is power-intensive. Electricity costs are typically the most significant ongoing expense. For instance, if electricity costs £0.15 per kWh, a miner consuming 3000 W will cost around £10.80 per day to run.
- **Cooling**: Additional cooling solutions may be necessary, especially for powerful machines. This could include fans or specialized cooling systems, increasing initial and ongoing costs.
- **Maintenance and Repairs**: Budget for ongoing maintenance and potential repairs, as mining hardware can experience wear and tear.

### 3. **Potential Revenue**
- **Bitcoin Price**: Revenue is highly variable based on the current market price of Bitcoin. Prices can fluctuate greatly; thus, calculating potential income based on historical data and forecasts is essential.
- **Mining Difficulty**: As more miners join the network, the difficulty of mining increases, affecting profitability. It’s important to keep track of changes in mining difficulty.

### 4. **Profit Sharing and Community Involvement**
- Establish a clear framework for profit sharing to ensure fair distribution among community members.
- Create an advisory board comprising community members to make decisions about reinvestment and distribution.

### 5. **Funding and Partnerships**
- Explore partnerships with local businesses or tech enthusiasts who may want to invest.
- Look for grants or funding opportunities focused on renewable energy or community development.

### Conclusion
A community-run Bitcoin mining initiative could yield substantial benefits, but careful consideration of costs, community engagement, and regulatory compliance is vital. Conducting a detailed feasibility study, including a financial model that estimates potential returns against initial and ongoing costs, will help in making informed decisions.

MYSTERY HELICOPTER DESTROYS HURRICANE SUPPLIES IN NORTH CAROLINA

In Burnsville, NC, a helicopter destroyed Hurricane Helene recovery supplies at a local distribution site. Eyewitnesses report 2 black SUVs doing a "slow roll" shortly before the unmarked helicopter appeared.

Veteran volunteer, megsbacn, who was conducting a K9 Security Round, said, "This was NOT one of our helos!" The helicopter was unmarked, and the legality of its presence is being questioned.

Locals are left asking: Who were they? Why were they masked up? https://video.nostr.build/414fda74cd0fd23f8fe49c9c1568178456256b1e7c6880294856b28b91c8810b.mp4

Foucault's Discipline and Punish provides a critical lens through which to analyze the ECHELON project. It highlights how surveillance technologies serve as tools of power, shaping societal norms, behaviors, and individual identities. The implications of such systems extend beyond national security, raising important questions about the nature of freedom and the consequences of living in a surveilled society.

The ECHELON project, particularly the revelations surrounding RAF Menwith Hill and the Five Eyes alliance, played a pivotal role in shaping my understanding of the digital world and its pervasive surveillance. Learning about the extensive capabilities of these intelligence networks early on allowed me to grasp the scale of data collection and the implications for privacy in the digital age. It framed my perspective on how governments and agencies can monitor global communications, creating an ever-present web of observation that fundamentally altered my view of the digital landscape and its potential for both security and intrusion.

Who was Len Sassaman, and why might HBO think he is Satoshi Nakamoto?
https://cointelegraph.com/news/len-sassaman-satoshi-nakamoto-bitcoin
#bitcoin #nostr #anarchyⒶ


The Fabian Society is a British socialist organization, founded in 1884, with the goal of achieving a democratic socialist society through gradual, reformist, and non-violent means, rather than revolution. Its intellectual influence has been significant in shaping British politics, particularly through its connections to the Labour Party. The society advocates for the redistribution of wealth, state intervention in the economy, and social justice reforms.

However, some critics have raised concerns about the Fabian Society’s methods and ideological legacy, associating it with more authoritarian or even totalitarian impulses, as well as globalist aims. Below are critiques in relation to totalitarianism, world government, and potential ties to clandestine operations like Operation Gladio.

### Fabian Society and Totalitarianism

1. **Elitism and Technocracy**:
   Critics argue that the Fabian Society's gradualist approach to socialism encourages a technocratic and elitist form of governance. Fabians often advocated that societal change should be guided by "experts" or intellectuals who would design and implement reforms. Detractors claim that this could undermine democracy, as it concentrates power in the hands of unelected elites or bureaucrats who believe they know what is best for society. George Bernard Shaw, a prominent Fabian, has been criticized for statements supporting the idea of coercive social planning, leading some to believe that the Fabian ideology may tolerate authoritarianism to achieve its ends.

2. **Paternalism**:
   The Fabian belief in gradual reform often implies a top-down approach to policy, which some see as paternalistic. Fabians might see themselves as guiding society "for its own good," which critics argue could easily slip into forms of social control. The early Fabian focus on central economic planning and state control has been linked by critics to more authoritarian regimes, particularly due to the centralization of power required to enforce such policies.

3. **Criticisms of Overregulation**:
   Fabian socialism promotes extensive state involvement in the economy and social services. While this is intended to reduce inequality and improve welfare, critics have argued that heavy state control can limit individual freedoms and lead to a "nanny state." Libertarians and classical liberals, in particular, have criticized this approach, seeing it as a slippery slope toward a more totalitarian form of governance in which the state controls many aspects of life.

### Fabian Society and One World Government

1. **Globalism and Internationalism**:
   The Fabian Society has long supported internationalist policies, advocating for global cooperation to solve issues like poverty, climate change, and inequality. Fabian ideas have influenced international organizations like the United Nations and institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, critics of globalism have pointed to the Society’s support for international governance structures as evidence of a push toward a "one-world government."

   Detractors from nationalist or anti-globalist positions argue that such globalist tendencies are a threat to national sovereignty, personal freedoms, and local governance. They claim that the Fabian belief in centralized, expert-driven governance on a global scale risks the emergence of undemocratic international institutions that could overrule the decisions of individual nations.

2. **World Federalism**:
   Fabian members have at times advocated for some form of global governance or federalism to address transnational issues like war and economic inequality. Critics of the Society associate this with a hidden agenda for a one-world government, where centralized power would erode national sovereignty and democracy. This critique often comes from conservative and libertarian perspectives that oppose global governance on principle.

3. **Ties to the United Nations**:
   Fabians have been linked to the founding of the United Nations and its related institutions. While many view the UN as a forum for cooperation, critics argue that its bureaucracy and influence over international law could act as a vehicle for globalist elites to impose their policies on a worldwide scale. This plays into fears about the loss of local autonomy and the imposition of globalist ideologies.

### Operation Gladio and Clandestine Activities

Operation Gladio refers to a clandestine NATO program initiated during the Cold War, aimed at creating "stay-behind" networks in Europe in case of a Soviet invasion. While its main purpose was to prepare for guerrilla warfare in occupied territories, it has also been associated with various acts of political violence and interference in domestic politics. Critics of the Fabian Society argue, often speculatively, that the Society's intellectual connections to Western elites might indirectly tie them to covert activities like Gladio, given their advocacy for international structures and influence over post-war governance.

1. **Intellectual Influence on Policy**:
   Fabians played a significant role in shaping British foreign and domestic policies, especially during the post-World War II era. Some critics believe that their influence over internationalist thinking and NATO policy circles could have indirectly facilitated clandestine activities like Operation Gladio. This argument is largely circumstantial and speculative, but it feeds into broader concerns about Fabian support for supranational governance and its intersection with Cold War geopolitics.

2. **Gladio and Socialism**:
   The relationship between Gladio, which was an anti-communist operation, and the Fabian Society, a socialist organization, may seem contradictory. However, critics suggest that the Fabian connection to establishment politics (especially the Labour Party) means that its members could have been aware of or complicit in such covert operations. This is speculative, but it highlights concerns about the Society's links to broader global power networks and covert manipulation of politics.

3. **Globalist Networks**:
   Some conspiracy theories have linked the Fabian Society to broader globalist networks that allegedly manipulate world events for centralized control. Operation Gladio, with its alleged use of false-flag operations and political subversion, is cited as an example of how powerful elites might use covert means to steer political outcomes. Though there is no direct evidence linking the Fabians to Gladio, critics use this connection to question the Society’s ultimate goals and influence over international affairs.

### Conclusion

The Fabian Society is primarily a reformist socialist organization, but it has been critiqued for harboring paternalistic and technocratic tendencies that could lead to authoritarian outcomes. The Society's support for global governance, while aimed at solving transnational problems, has also attracted criticism from those who fear the erosion of national sovereignty and democracy. Speculative links to clandestine activities like Operation Gladio, while unsupported by direct evidence, feed into concerns about the Society's ties to globalist power structures and covert operations. While many of these critiques come from right-wing or nationalist positions, they reflect a broader unease with centralized, elite-driven governance on both the national and global stages.


**Operation Gladio** was a covert NATO-led program during the Cold War, involving "stay-behind" armies across Europe, meant to resist a Soviet invasion through guerrilla tactics and sabotage. However, it became controversial due to its links with far-right groups and involvement in domestic terrorism, notably in Italy during the **Years of Lead**. These covert forces were accused of staging attacks, like the **1980 Bologna bombing**, to create fear and justify anti-communist measures. Despite being exposed in 1990, Gladio is believed by some to still be operational, with ongoing concerns about its role in political manipulation.

The CIA's involvement in the film industry is an extension of its broader efforts to use media as a tool for public influence and psychological operations. By influencing scripts, providing technical assistance, and shaping the portrayal of American intelligence operations, the CIA has used Hollywood as a vehicle for promoting favorable narratives, supporting U.S. foreign policy, and shaping global perceptions of the U.S. as a force for good in the world. This form of propaganda has been subtle yet pervasive, blending entertainment with ideological messaging that serves American interests.

The moral critique of Zionism rests on the idea that no group, regardless of its historical or religious connections to a land, has the right to displace or colonize another population for the sake of its own national aspirations. In this view, Zionism’s Eastern European origins and the historical context in which it developed do not morally justify its impact on the Palestinian people.

Leaked internal slides from whistleblowers, showing Google's blueprint for "programming people"

What their leaked code from Github really means

Their own employees who were jailed for protesting

Admission of illegal manipulation of elections

IMF  loans can put countries under their influence or "thumb" primarily through the conditions and policy measures attached to these loans, which often have long-term social, economic, and political impacts.

The IMF has been asking El Salvador for changes regarding its bitcoin law since its adoption in 2021.

Truth is...
 the alignment between thought and reality, the correspondence of beliefs with the world as it is. Philosophical theories of truth explore this relationship:

the **correspondence theory** sees truth in the agreement between statements and facts;

the **coherence theory** locates truth within the internal consistency of a belief system;

the **pragmatic theory** ties truth to practical outcomes;

and **constructivist** views hold that truth is shaped by social and cultural contexts.

The **deflationary theory** reduces truth to a mere linguistic function, while **relativism** challenges the notion of absolute truth, asserting its dependence on perspective and context.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUP229ZPsV4
#bitcoin #nostr #anarchyⒶ


A Declaration of Separation

To The Governments & People of Earth:

We claim the right to exist, and we will defend it. We do not seek to overthrow anything. We do not seek to control anything. We/merely wish to be left alone.

All we ever wanted was to live in peace with our friends and neighbors. For a long, long time we bore insults to our liberty; we took blows, we did what we could to avoid injury and we worked through the system to get the offenses to stop. That has now changed.

We no longer see any benefit in working through the world?s systems. At some point, working within a system becomes cowardly and immoral; for us, that point has arrived.

Regardless of the parties in power, their governments have continued to restrict, restrain and punish us. We hereby reject them all. We hereby withdraw from them all. We hold the ruling states of this world and all that appertains to them to be self-serving and opposed to humanity. We now withdraw our obedience and reclaim the right to strike back when struck. We will not initiate force, but we do reserve the right to answer it. We did not choose this ? it was forced upon us.

## To The Governments of Earth:

You are building cages for all that is human. In the name of protection, you have intruded into all areas of human life, far exceeding the reach of any Caesar. You claim ultimate control of our property and our decisions, of our travels and even our identities. You claim ownership of humanity far beyond the dreams of any Emperor of any previous era.

Understand clearly: We reject your authority and we reject your legitimacy. We do not believe that you have any right to do the things you do. You have massive power, but no right to impose it upon us and no legitimacy. We have forsaken you. We are no longer your citizens or your subjects. Your systems are inherently anti-human, even if all their operators are not. We are not merely angry young people. We are fathers and mothers; aunts, uncles and grandparents; we are business owners and trusted employees; we are mechanics and engineers and farmers. We are nurses and accountants and students and executives.

We are on every continent.

This is not a burst of outrage; this is a sober declaration that we no longer accept unearned suffering as our role in life.

For long decades we sat quietly, hoping that things would turn around. We took no actions; we suffered along with everyone else. But after having our limits pushed back again and again, we have given up on your systems. If our fellow inhabitants of this planet wish to accept your rule, they are free to do so.

We will not try to stop them. We, however, will no longer accept your constraints upon us.

From now on, when you hurt us, we will bite back. If you leave us alone we will leave you alone and you can continue to rule your subjects. We are happy to live quietly. But if you come after us, there will be consequences. You caused this because of your fetish for control and power. The chief men and women among you are pathologically driven to control everyone and everything that moves upon this planet. You have made yourselves the judge of every human activity. No god-king of the ancient world ever had the power that your systems do.

You have created a world where only the neutered are safe and where only outlaws are free.

## To The People of Earth:

We seek nothing from you. We do not want to rule you and we do not want to control you.

All we wish is to live on earth in peace. As always, we will be helpful neighbors and generous acquaintances. We will remain honest business partners and trustworthy employees. We will continue to be loving parents and respectful children.

We will not, however, be sacrificial animals. We reject the idea that others have a right to our lives and our property. We will not demand anything from you, and we will no longer acquiesce to any demands upon us. We have left that game. We reject all obligations to any person or organization beyond honesty, fair dealing and a respect for human life.

We will shortly explain what we believe, but we are not demanding that you agree with us. All we ask is that you do not try to stop us. Continue to play the game if you wish; we will not try to disrupt it. We have merely walked away from it.

We wish you peace.

## To Those Who Will Condemn Us:

We will ignore you.

We welcome and seek the verdict of a just God, before whom we are willing to expose our innermost thoughts. Are you similarly willing? We would stand openly before all mankind if it were not suicidal. Perhaps some day we will have to accept slaughter for our crime of independence, but not yet.

Your criticism and your malice are much deeper than mere disagreements of strategy or philosophy. You do not oppose our philosophy, you oppose our existence. Our presence in the world means that your precious ideals are false. Some of you would rather kill us than face the loss of your ideologies, just as those like you have either hated or killed every sufficiently independent human.

You present yourselves to the world as compassionate, tolerant and enlightened, but we know that your smooth words are costumes. Oh yes, we know you, servant of the state; don't forget, we were raised with you. We played with you in the schoolyard, we sat next to you in the classroom. Some of us studied at the same elite universities. We watched as you had your first tastes of power. We were the boys and girls standing next to you. Some of us were your first victims. We are not fooled by your carefully crafted public image.

## What We Believe

1: Many humans resent the responsibilities that are implied by consciousness. We accept those responsibilities and we embrace consciousness. Rather than letting things happen to us (avoiding consciousness), we accept consciousness and choose to act in our own interest. We do not seek the refuge of blaming others, neither do we take refuge in crowds. We are willing to act on our personal judgment, and we are willing to accept the consequences thereof.

2: We believe in negative rights for all: That all humans should be free to do whatever they wish, as long as they do not intrude upon others; that no man has a right to the life, liberty or property of another; that we oppose aggression, fraud and coercion.

3: We do not believe that our way of life, or any other, will make life perfect or trouble-free. We expect crime and disagreements and ugliness, and we are prepared to deal with them. We do not seek a strongman to step in and solve problems for us. We agree to see to them ourselves.

4: We believe in free and unhindered commerce. So long as exchanges are voluntary and honest, no other party has a right to intervene before, during or after.

5: We believe that all individuals should keep their agreements.

6: We believe that honestly obtained property is fully legitimate and absolute.

7: We believe that some humans are evil and that they must be faced and dealt with. We accept the fact that this is a difficult area of life.

8: We believe that humans can self-organize effectively. We expect them to cooperate. We reject impositions of hierarchy and organization.

9: We believe that all humans are to be held as equals in all matters regarding justice.

10: We believe that the more a man or woman cares about right and wrong, the more of a threat he or she is perceived to be by governments.

11: We believe that there are only two true classes of human beings: Those who wish to exercise power upon others either directly or through intermediaries and those who have no such desires.

12: Large organizations and centralization are inherently anti-human. They must rely upon rules rather than principles, treating humans within the organization as obedient tools.

## Our Plans:

(We are building our own society. We will supplement traditional tools with networking, cryptography, sound money, digital currency and anonymous messaging. Our society will not be centrally controlled. It will rely solely
on voluntary arrangements.

We welcome others to join us. We are looking for people who are independent creators of value, people who act more than talk, and people who do the right thing because it is the right thing.

We will develop our own methods of dealing with injustice, built on the principles of negative rights, restitution, integrity and equal justice. We do not forbid anyone from having one foot in each realm - ours and the old realm - although we demand that they do no damage to our realm. We are fully opposed to any use of our realm to facilitate crime in the old realm, such as the hiding of criminal proceeds.

We expect to be loudly condemned, libeled and slandered by the authorities of the old regime. We expect them to defend their power and their image of legitimacy with all means available to them. We expect that many gullible and servile people will believe these lies, at least at first. We will consider traps laid for us to be criminal offenses. Any who wish to join us are encouraged to distribute this declaration, to act in furtherance of our new society, to voluntarily excel in virtues and to communicate and cooperate with other members of the new society.

Free, unashamed men cannot be ruled.

We are The Free and The Unashamed.

I joined Neil Oliver for an interview about power and corruption. Available on YouTube and podcast apps. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/08/press/neil-oliver-podcast/


Trump, JD Vance bankrolled by CIA/Mossad backed billionaire Peter Thiel

Whitney Webb talks about Peter Thiel’s influence on Trump and his VP JD Vance and how a Trump administration would advance a CIA-Mossad backed plan to expand the technocratic surveillance state.

Trump has chosen JD Vance as his running mate, a character made and financed by Silicon Valley and surveillance state billionaire Peter Thiel. It seems no matter whom you vote for, our national security state – and that of Israel’s – will be the winner.

Peter Thiel’s CIA-tech empire “Palantir” helped Israel develop the AI lavender system which has been used by the Israeli military to target civilian homes, children and completely decimate the world’s largest concentration camp with precision.

However, this is not Peter Thiel's first ride in the Trump campaign as he helped bankroll Trump himself in the 2016 election and even worked in his cabinet to advance the surveillance state by collecting our data during COVID.

Trump, JD Vance bankrolled by CIA/Mossad backed billionaire Peter Thiel

Whitney Webb talks about Peter Thiel’s influence on Trump and his VP JD Vance and how a Trump administration would advance a CIA-Mossad backed plan to expand the technocratic surveillance state.

Trump has chosen JD Vance as his running mate, a character made and financed by Silicon Valley and surveillance state billionaire Peter Thiel. It seems no matter whom you vote for, our national security state – and that of Israel’s – will be the winner.

Peter Thiel’s CIA-tech empire “Palantir” helped Israel develop the AI lavender system which has been used by the Israeli military to target civilian homes, children and completely decimate the world’s largest concentration camp with precision.

However, this is not Peter Thiel's first ride in the Trump campaign as he helped bankroll Trump himself in the 2016 election and even worked in his cabinet to advance the surveillance state by collecting our data during COVID.

Trump's Crypto Embrace Could Be a Disaster for Bitcoin

At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Donald Trump promised the crypto community the moon. They'd better hope they don't get it.
Image may contain Person Adult and Money

Donald Trump is an unlikely crypto ally. The power of bitcoin, embodied in Satoshi Nakamoto’s founding document, is that it frees participants from murky assessments of trust, instead relying on the bedrock of proof.

Bitcoin is truth. So it was cosmically weird last week to hear the attendees of the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville enthusiastically hailing a former president who, by one painstakingly compiled count, lied 390,573 times in his single term in office. The believers of a mathematically indisputable blockchain poured on the hosannas as Donald Trump delivered a speech bulging with falsehoods, fabrications, and fantasies. They hooted with joy as he claimed credit for bitcoin’s meteoric rise in value during his administration—even as they surely knew that until recently he trashed the idea of cryptocurrency.

“Bitcoin, it sounds like a scam,” he said in 2021. “I don’t like it because it’s another currency competing against the dollar.” Now Trump is the sudden darling of the crypto world, even though no one believes that he has a clue about how tokens work, or even what they are. “Staple-coins … stablecoins,” Trump said at one point, correcting himself as he probably glanced at the teleprompter, then paused. “Do you know what a stablecoin is? Does anyone know?”

Clearly Trump doesn’t. That didn’t stop him from making promises that only someone who deeply misunderstood bitcoin both technically and philosophically would ever make. He compared bitcoin to the steel industry of a century ago, a mind-boggling mismatch between an icon of the industrial revolution and a cutting-edge movement of the digital world. Then he promised to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet and the bitcoin superpower of the world.”

This sentiment, as the conference goers surely must know, flips the basic premise of cryptocurrency and blockchain—a sovereign system that operates without regard to the interests of any nation. To quote cryptocurrency theorist Erik Cason: “Bitcoin offers a radical new hope from which man may rescue himself from the cage that is every nation-state today.” Trump’s promise that the United States would dominate bitcoin is a slap in Satoshi’s face.
.
One of the proposals Trump floated is a bitcoin reserve where the US would stash and HODL billions of dollars’ worth of tokens, a scheme that experts consider of dubious value to taxpayers—but might jack up the value of the currency to the enrichment of the Nashville crowd. Again, manipulation by a government superpower is anathema to the values of the blockchain revolution. Another promise Trump made was to pardon Silk Road owner Ross Ulbricht, currently serving a life sentence in federal prison for running a massive crypto-fueled operation in illegal drugs and money laundering. So much for being tough on crime.

Despite the weirdness, the alliance between Trump and the bitcoin bros seems almost preordained. The crypto world chafes at government regulation, and it sees in Donald Trump an opportunity to lighten the touch of state, perhaps to the level of a friendly tickle. Trump has encouraged that thinking by meeting key funders and investors and adopting their views. As if cementing a barely disguised transaction, the players in the crypto world are funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign coffers. So it’s not surprising that Trump promised the Nashville conference that he would put an end to “left-wing fascists and totalitarians hell-bent on crushing crypto.” He was lustily cheered for the sentiment. Trump also indicated that Kamala Harris is among those “fascists.” “She’s against crypto by the way,” he said. “She’s against it very big.” (In fact, Harris has not set her policy and has been reaching out to crypto companies.) The cheers were loudest when Trump said he’d fire Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission—which has been policing dicey crypto schemes—on his first day back in office.

Legitimate question: Does the current White House “hate crypto,” as the industry and Trump seem to believe? I poked around a bit and learned that in the early days of the administration, crypto policy—which, to be sure, was a relatively low priority during a pandemic—was indeed up for grabs, with some officials viewing it as a scammy technology. Ultimately, however, the administration set a course that tried to walk a line between encouraging innovation in the field and enforcing current securities law.

Biden’s 2022 “Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets” laid out the blueprint: “a whole-of-government approach to addressing the risk and harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology.” The order did include an element of nationalism, promising “to reinforce American leadership in the global financial system and the technological frontier,” but no plans to dominate the blockchain. There would be enforcement and investor protection, but also research into safe crypto protocols, and even efforts to reduce the impact on the climate. (In contrast, Trump promised the crypto crowd “so much electricity that you’ll be begging me, ‘Please, Mr. President no more electricity, we can’t stand it!’”)

The SEC under Gensler has been the enforcement arm of this policy, earning the enmity of the crypto world. The SEC notes that, by far, the most investor complaints to the agency in recent years have involved crypto schemes. Using a legal standard called the Howey Test, Gensler has determined that crypto tokens can be classified as securities, making them subject to regulations applying to “investment contracts.” (Bitcoin is one token that the SEC does not regulate—despite Trump’s claim that the agency is out to “obliterate” it. The reason is that bitcoin is not promoted by a single self-interested player.)

If you look at the actions the SEC has taken on crypto, they aren’t attacks on the foundations of the blockchain, but generally charges involving misleading promises and outright fraud. Admittedly, as a speech he gave in June 2023 shows, Gensler seems more enthusiastic about enforcement than harnessing crypto’s potential.

What would Trump do in terms of crypto regulation? After firing Gensler, he said, he would gather a group of “people who love crypto”—maybe even consisting of people in Nashville slurping up his speech—to cobble together some regulations that would please them, wrapping up the task in 100 days. In other words, they would set the rules by which they would be regulated. No mention of the public or possible investors being involved in the process: regulatory capture as a feature!

What the crypto crowd seems to miss is that the short-term gains from a hands-off regulatory approach will hurt their cause in the long run. Regulation, even under Gensler’s SEC, is not slowing the adoption of crypto and blockchain. Despite endless setbacks, these technologies are still viable. “Bitcoin is here to stay, so big a phenomenon that it can’t be ignored by politicians or governments,” says Pascal Gauthier, CEO of the crypto wallet company Ledger. “Nobody’s debating that, but debating how to regulate this or that.”

The biggest obstacle, however, is not regulation. What’s holding crypto back is the get-rich-quick vibe of greedy bros showing off their Bored Apes NFTs, and a seemingly endless cycle of rug-pulls and exit scams. Unbridled greed and the unbounded risk in the crypto world has hobbled progress and tainted the entire field. No role model has emerged in the crypto world as an example of how the movement could benefit ordinary people; instead the poster child is Samuel Bankman-Fried, who skirted laws to gain billions of dollars. “At the end of the day, it's in the interest of industry to have a sound set of regulations that give Americans who are buying crypto confidence that they're not going to be victims of the next SBF,” says Peter Harrell, who was a senior director for international economics and competitiveness for the first half of the Biden term.

Trump’s promised schemes might give an instant boost to those running or funding crypto companies, but they would thwart the stability that must be earned for the long term. So those newly minted Trumpists in Nashville might want to think twice before putting their trust in the man who graced their podium. “Crypto is doing the deal with the devil if they think that Trump is going to be a hands-off figure,” says Tim Wu, a law professor who was Biden’s special assistant for technology and competition. “I think those crypto bros who are bending the knee to Trump are insane, and betraying the whole emphasis of the product.” Somewhere, Satoshi weeps.

When I began covering the crypto world—largely for WIRED—in the ’90s, who knew that it would be a sizzling hot topic in 2024? I ignored warnings that crypto was an obscure subject and published my eponymous book about it in 2001. My subjects included the Cypherpunks, who posed for the cover of the second issue of WIRED in 1993 and later would turn out to be the most likely inspiration for Satoshi Nakamoto’s famous Bitcoin paper. (By the way, none of these pioneers talked about venture capital or giant valuations.) In the book I talk about how from the very first meeting in 1992, Cypherpunks saw crypto as a way to separate from the state.

It would be a mistake to misjudge this group by their peccadillos or by the modest turnout at this first meeting. In fact, they would wind up becoming so influential that their grandiose fantasies would be vindicated. Profane, cranky, and totally in tune with the digital hiphop of internet rhythm, they were cryptographers with an attitude. If the government hadn’t enough to worry about with industry, privacy advocates, and reform-minded policy wonks urging liberalization of cryptography, the emergence of crypto rebels as popular culture heroes was a tipping point, an unexpected sign that the code wars had gone someplace new. The code rebels had arrived, brandishing a powerful intellectual weapon: crypto anarchy.

For this first meeting [early Cypherpunk] Tim May had produced a 57-page handout, along with an elaborate agenda including discussion of “societal implications of cryptography,” “voting networks,” and “anonymous information markets.” There were reports on digital money in virtual realities and John Gilmore’s assessment of the NSA. And there was time set aside, of course, for the “reading of manifestos.” Tim May had one prepared especially for the meeting, which he called the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto. It ended on a stirring note:

“Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put in words and pictures.”

Thanks, Teresa. You explained that you feel like the internet searches you made four years ago for a science project might not be as productive now, and that you don’t find much improvement using chatbots. And you suggested that you might need more training, even though you mention you’ve been searching the internet since the days of Gopher.

No, Teresa, the problem is not you. Almost everyone believes that search in 2024 has degraded from its past glory. Some think this is relatively recent; others say this process has been going on for at least a decade. Google disagrees and claims to have metrics proving otherwise. One recent study from German researchers, concentrating on product review sites, concludes that search has been degraded. A couple of years ago, former Google executive Marissa Mayer implicitly conceded that search was worse, but she blamed the web for the decline. It’s Google’s job, though, to make search maximally useful given the web as it is, so no excuses.

It’s hard to find numbers, but people who agree with you are already using alternatives to the search box. I look for information on local businesses not from search but maps. (Google has me anyway.) And to get certain complex information, I do use AI chatbots, which are most useful if they share the sources for their output so I can check whether the bot is making things up.

Still, when it comes to search, we can’t quit Google, even if we don’t think it’s doing as good a job as it once did. When a product dominates that much, the only way competitors can win is when the paradigm shifts, and a disruptive development redraws the field. That's happening now with large language models, and that’s why Google is working so hard to integrate its AI into search.

To quote cryptocurrency theorist Erik Cason: “Bitcoin offers a radical new hope from which man may rescue himself from the cage that is every nation-state today.” Trump’s promise that the United States would dominate bitcoin is a slap in Satoshi’s face.
.
One of the proposals Trump floated is a bitcoin reserve where the US would stash and HODL billions of dollars’ worth of tokens, a scheme that experts consider of dubious value to taxpayers—but might jack up the value of the currency to the enrichment of the Nashville crowd. Again, manipulation by a government superpower is anathema to the values of the blockchain revolution. Another promise Trump made was to pardon Silk Road owner Ross Ulbricht, currently serving a life sentence in federal prison for running a massive crypto-fueled operation in illegal drugs and money laundering. So much for being tough on crime.

Despite the weirdness, the alliance between Trump and the bitcoin bros seems almost preordained. The crypto world chafes at government regulation, and it sees in Donald Trump an opportunity to lighten the touch of state, perhaps to the level of a friendly tickle. Trump has encouraged that thinking by meeting key funders and investors and adopting their views. As if cementing a barely disguised transaction, the players in the crypto world are funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign coffers. So it’s not surprising that Trump promised the Nashville conference that he would put an end to “left-wing fascists and totalitarians hell-bent on crushing crypto.” He was lustily cheered for the sentiment. Trump also indicated that Kamala Harris is among those “fascists.” “She’s against crypto by the way,” he said. “She’s against it very big.” (In fact, Harris has not set her policy and has been reaching out to crypto companies.) The cheers were loudest when Trump said he’d fire Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission—which has been policing dicey crypto schemes—on his first day back in office.

Legitimate question: Does the current White House “hate crypto,” as the industry and Trump seem to believe? I poked around a bit and learned that in the early days of the administration, crypto policy—which, to be sure, was a relatively low priority during a pandemic—was indeed up for grabs, with some officials viewing it as a scammy technology. Ultimately, however, the administration set a course that tried to walk a line between encouraging innovation in the field and enforcing current securities law.

Biden’s 2022 “Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets” laid out the blueprint: “a whole-of-government approach to addressing the risk and harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology.” The order did include an element of nationalism, promising “to reinforce American leadership in the global financial system and the technological frontier,” but no plans to dominate the blockchain. There would be enforcement and investor protection, but also research into safe crypto protocols, and even efforts to reduce the impact on the climate. (In contrast, Trump promised the crypto crowd “so much electricity that you’ll be begging me, ‘Please, Mr. President no more electricity, we can’t stand it!’”)

The SEC under Gensler has been the enforcement arm of this policy, earning the enmity of the crypto world. The SEC notes that, by far, the most investor complaints to the agency in recent years have involved crypto schemes. Using a legal standard called the Howey Test, Gensler has determined that crypto tokens can be classified as securities, making them subject to regulations applying to “investment contracts.” (Bitcoin is one token that the SEC does not regulate—despite Trump’s claim that the agency is out to “obliterate” it. The reason is that bitcoin is not promoted by a single self-interested player.)

If you look at the actions the SEC has taken on crypto, they aren’t attacks on the foundations of the blockchain, but generally charges involving misleading promises and outright fraud. Admittedly, as a speech he gave in June 2023 shows, Gensler seems more enthusiastic about enforcement than harnessing crypto’s potential.

What would Trump do in terms of crypto regulation? After firing Gensler, he said, he would gather a group of “people who love crypto”—maybe even consisting of people in Nashville slurping up his speech—to cobble together some regulations that would please them, wrapping up the task in 100 days. In other words, they would set the rules by which they would be regulated. No mention of the public or possible investors being involved in the process: regulatory capture as a feature!

What the crypto crowd seems to miss is that the short-term gains from a hands-off regulatory approach will hurt their cause in the long run. Regulation, even under Gensler’s SEC, is not slowing the adoption of crypto and blockchain. Despite endless setbacks, these technologies are still viable. “Bitcoin is here to stay, so big a phenomenon that it can’t be ignored by politicians or governments,” says Pascal Gauthier, CEO of the crypto wallet company Ledger. “Nobody’s debating that, but debating how to regulate this or that.”

The biggest obstacle, however, is not regulation. What’s holding crypto back is the get-rich-quick vibe of greedy bros showing off their Bored Apes NFTs, and a seemingly endless cycle of rug-pulls and exit scams. Unbridled greed and the unbounded risk in the crypto world has hobbled progress and tainted the entire field. No role model has emerged in the crypto world as an example of how the movement could benefit ordinary people; instead the poster child is Samuel Bankman-Fried, who skirted laws to gain billions of dollars. “At the end of the day, it's in the interest of industry to have a sound set of regulations that give Americans who are buying crypto confidence that they're not going to be victims of the next SBF,” says Peter Harrell, who was a senior director for international economics and competitiveness for the first half of the Biden term.

Trump’s promised schemes might give an instant boost to those running or funding crypto companies, but they would thwart the stability that must be earned for the long term. So those newly minted Trumpists in Nashville might want to think twice before putting their trust in the man who graced their podium. “Crypto is doing the deal with the devil if they think that Trump is going to be a hands-off figure,” says Tim Wu, a law professor who was Biden’s special assistant for technology and competition. “I think those crypto bros who are bending the knee to Trump are insane, and betraying the whole emphasis of the product.” Somewhere, Satoshi weeps.

When I began covering the crypto world—largely for WIRED—in the ’90s, who knew that it would be a sizzling hot topic in 2024? I ignored warnings that crypto was an obscure subject and published my eponymous book about it in 2001. My subjects included the Cypherpunks, who posed for the cover of the second issue of WIRED in 1993 and later would turn out to be the most likely inspiration for Satoshi Nakamoto’s famous Bitcoin paper. (By the way, none of these pioneers talked about venture capital or giant valuations.) In the book I talk about how from the very first meeting in 1992, Cypherpunks saw crypto as a way to separate from the state.

It would be a mistake to misjudge this group by their peccadillos or by the modest turnout at this first meeting. In fact, they would wind up becoming so influential that their grandiose fantasies would be vindicated. Profane, cranky, and totally in tune with the digital hiphop of internet rhythm, they were cryptographers with an attitude. If the government hadn’t enough to worry about with industry, privacy advocates, and reform-minded policy wonks urging liberalization of cryptography, the emergence of crypto rebels as popular culture heroes was a tipping point, an unexpected sign that the code wars had gone someplace new. The code rebels had arrived, brandishing a powerful intellectual weapon: crypto anarchy.

For this first meeting [early Cypherpunk] Tim May had produced a 57-page handout, along with an elaborate agenda including discussion of “societal implications of cryptography,” “voting networks,” and “anonymous information markets.” There were reports on digital money in virtual realities and John Gilmore’s assessment of the NSA. And there was time set aside, of course, for the “reading of manifestos.” Tim May had one prepared especially for the meeting, which he called the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto. It ended on a stirring note:

“Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put in words and pictures.”

Thanks, Teresa. You explained that you feel like the internet searches you made four years ago for a science project might not be as productive now, and that you don’t find much improvement using chatbots. And you suggested that you might need more training, even though you mention you’ve been searching the internet since the days of Gopher.

No, Teresa, the problem is not you. Almost everyone believes that search in 2024 has degraded from its past glory. Some think this is relatively recent; others say this process has been going on for at least a decade. Google disagrees and claims to have metrics proving otherwise. One recent study from German researchers, concentrating on product review sites, concludes that search has been degraded. A couple of years ago, former Google executive Marissa Mayer implicitly conceded that search was worse, but she blamed the web for the decline. It’s Google’s job, though, to make search maximally useful given the web as it is, so no excuses.

It’s hard to find numbers, but people who agree with you are already using alternatives to the search box. I look for information on local businesses not from search but maps. (Google has me anyway.) And to get certain complex information, I do use AI chatbots, which are most useful if they share the sources for their output so I can check whether the bot is making things up.

Still, when it comes to search, we can’t quit Google, even if we don’t think it’s doing as good a job as it once did. When a product dominates that much, the only way competitors can win is when the paradigm shifts, and a disruptive development redraws the field. That's happening now with large language models, and that’s why Google is working so hard to integrate its AI into search.
