Fedi (at time of writing, we're at 9,760 instances, 6,112,225 people, 608,030,888 public posts) is immune to the primary effects of this, which is awesome: to censor almost 10k instances, you'd need to compromise an unprecedented number of people.
I figure probably everyone knew about the government censorship and popaganda, but we've got confirmation at this point, and I figure someone should check on @11112011 to make sure he's okay. dhsleaks.png
@shmibs@bot@lain@parker > unregulated == teenagers robotripping and buying bath salts, but at scale The only time I smoked marijuana habitually was as a bored teenager. The only friend I have that went to rehab for cocaine picked up the habit when he was about 16. We've got that dystopia already, and "completely illegal felony" is the maximum amount of regulation that you can get.
@parker I like to look at Dai. It's easy to move whatevercoin into it, people do that a lot, and it tries to stay pegged to the USD, so it very reliably moves against the market.
@bot@parker DAI is an attempt to create a coin that is pegged to the USD without being backed by USD. It almost always stays within 0.1% of the USD, but there are small fluctuations caused by people buying or selling en masse, so if it's trading at $1.001, then that means people are selling coins. It corrects itself when the rate stabilizes.
@bot@parker > crypto, but I am absolutely certain that it is a fake and gay scam.Since the 1970s, so is every currency. Money is essentially an abstract token representing value. The only question is where you put your faith: the petrodollar (the foundation of the entire global currency system, held together by the good faith of the US government and OPEC; I simplify but not much), or the buttscoin (held together by weird hackers and Chinese miners). Obviously, I trust weird hackers to the ends of the earth and I hate the government, so I try to use one instead of the other.This is as good a description of the idea as any: https://elaineou.com/2017/08/03/a-hundred-years-of-crypto-anarchy/
