SNORT Login Following ODELL odell@werunbtc.com 14:09 Good morning nostr, We are about to enter the "then they fight us stage" and it is going to be fucking messy. - Build strong local communities. Improve your own skills. Stack relentlessly. Then we win. 🫡 23 jack mallers jack@strike.me 21:11 Strike Upgrades: Direct Deposit, Wires, Cards, and more. Strike getting bull run ready as SBF goes to jail. let’s fucking go for those outside the US, for the first time in my career, i now get to start a blog about letting you buy bitcoin through strike! 🫡🫡🫡 https://jimmymow.medium.com/strike-upgrades-direct-deposit-wires-cards-and-more-6f1f1721fa21 26 gladstein gladstein@nostrplebs.com 22:09 On Nov 14 the Human Rights Foundation will launch its CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington, DC The Tracker will go online for the first time, providing the public with a resource to examine the progress and risks of CBDC implementation worldwide Like paper dollars or euros, CBDCs are liabilities of central banks Unlike paper dollars or euros, CBDCs do not offer the privacy protections, neutrality, or finality of cash Virtually all money today is already digital, but it is typically issued and controlled by private banks and fintech companies, even in dictatorships like China When consumers use a credit card, spending is at the discretion of the corporation that issued the card When consumers deposit money into their bank accounts, their funds are liabilities of the bank CBDCs are an effort to: 1) Replace paper cash with government-issued, government controlled digital credits 2) Reduce the power of private banks 3) Expand state control over the economy Paper cash doesn’t require identification, can be used by anyone with no discrimination, and cannot be easily tracked As such, cash is a daily tool of human rights activists, dissidents, and civil society, especially under authoritarian regimes CBDCs stand to potentially phase out this tool for human rights defenders, making them entirely reliant on currency that is surveilled and easily frozen and censored Unlike cash, CBDCs can require ID, have expiration dates, be remotely frozen, and abide by blacklists HRF believes CBDCs pose a significant threat to human rights work worldwide, especially for people living under tyranny More than 100 countries are researching CBDCs, while more than 20 have pilots, and a handful of governments have already launched some kind of retail product Russia, India, the EU, the US, Brazil, and other major governments have all signaled intent to pursue CBDC projects HRF considers it important to track these activities and document what risk they pose to human rights We are pleased to be working with the Bitcoin Policy Institute to launch the CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington at 10:00am ET on November 14th We are excited to share the work of the project authors: Nick Anthony, Janine Roem, and Matthew Mezinskis If you would like to learn more about the project or RSVP to the launch event, please contact @ck We look forward to sharing the resource with all of you on Nov 14 https://cbdchumanrights.org/ 21 5.65K Will jb55.com & 14 others zapped Lyn Alden lyn@NostrVerified.com 16:42 At an airport, getting a burger. An Impossible burger (which I am not getting) is 20% more expensive than a real burger. How is that not a scam? Who buys that? Imagine putting plants together and the result is more expensive than beef. 17 2.05K Jabbi Jabba 🥑🤪⚡️ jabbijabba@nostrplebs.com & 10 others zapped ODELL odell@werunbtc.com 14:49 some of us will win but most will not even the most bullish scenarios will most likely include billions of people that remain digital slaves out of convenience freedom is not free, we must take it and defend it 6 Lyn Alden lyn@NostrVerified.com 16:50 If “green energy” (including w/ storage as needed) costs more than hydrocarbons and doesn’t win in the marketplace, then maybe it is more environmentally impactful than you think, with energy-intensive and materially-intensive supply chains. Likewise, if fake meat costs more than real meat, then maybe it too is more environmentally impactful then you think, with energy-intensive and materially-intensive supply chains. 14 622 Cory Wilbur cory@strike.me & 10 others zapped Edward Snowden Snowden@Nostr-Check.com re: npub1pvgcusx 01:13 I think inertia is leading us toward a quantified state, in which the costs of tracking and categorizing objects — primarily people, phones, cars, and money — as they move from place to place becomes so low that most institutions are doing it by reflex, without either considering or caring for consequences. Eventually, somebody is going to exploit the gap in information (between what is available to ordinary people, and what is available to organizations) in a way that causes enormous, historic harm, as happened in WWII when a particular state realized that IBM had compiled a database that was perfect for populating a list of names of those who would soon be marched off to camps. And that was just census data. Now they know what you read, where you go, who you're with, and how you'll vote. The unfortunate reality of contemporary political thought is that consequences do not exist until they are felt. Rare is the chicken that fears the farmer. That means we've got two options: we either wait for the pain, or we stop waiting for political consensus. 34 188 Free Spirit & 6 others zapped Shinnno3(しんのしん) shino3@nostr.shino3.net 04:40 Hello Nostr! 渡せた!! @jack 33 592 Nokotaro Takeda takenoko@nokotaro.com & 2 others zapped ODELL odell@werunbtc.com 20:24 billions of people do not own bitcoin yet - they are effectively short bitcoin but do not realize it - few understand this 12 ODELL odell@werunbtc.com 03:36 primal users can choose what content is in their feeds and trending. users have full control over their experience. as it should be. 42
