It feels AOC is doing all the heavylifting grandstanding while all the rest of them smug bunch are just watching with “told ya dis was gunn happen” drawn on their face.

Please tell me my ignorant ass is just blatantly wrong because I ain’t getting any news.

You’re blatantly wrong. AOC lives to grandstand and pander. Just like mamabear Pelosi, she kept REALLY quiet about everything (including the ongoing genocide she voted to keep funding) when her team was in power.

Here’s a video showing how she was hand-picked from 10,000 applicants in a nationwide talent search for a pretty face to intentionally and impotently pander and drum up support from low-information identity politics dupes to keep eroding labor movements under the guise of being a leftist.

Cast your attention to Rashida Tlaib if you want a real one. AOC is as fake as professional wrestling.

Yes. They did, after all, assassinate him.

It’s pretty funny to see this thread filled with wrong answers by lemmy.world users and those same smuglibs downvoting anyone that suggests otherwise when it’s pretty universally accepted that he was killed by the CIA.

The CIA even did a distinctive CIA-style cleanup job , eliminating all parties with knowledge of the hit afterward.

What for many years seemed unthinkable has turned out to be true after all.

There was a CIA cover-up. The CIA did suppress information. The CIA did stonewall both of the official government investigations of the JFK assassination. And as a consequence of this Agency misconduct, both investigations were compromised in important respects-particularly in regard to the fundamental issues of whether the assassination resulted from a conspiracy and whether Lee Harvey Oswald (alleged to be the sole assassin in the Warren Report and alleged to be one of multiple assassins in the Report of the House Assassinations Committee) was affiliated with the CIA.

Do you have a link to his undoing?

Are there obvious, inherent pitfalls to deregulation of anything at all? Yes.

Is it absolutely necessary for it to exist? Also yes. Self sovereignty is both dangerous and absolutely necessary…unless you WANT Uncle Sam to be able to put a short time-limit on spending your tax return once they adopt a Central Bank Digital Currency (and they will). With a CBDC controlled by the Fed, we will be subject to money that expires and other features that feel like bugs that go hand in hand with a central power controlling a currency.

Agree to disagree then. You don’t seem to grasp my points and I don’t grasp yours. Peace.

As my rant above detailed, I’d be happy to give up my belongings if I lived in a truly communist society. But I don’t. So, I hold onto my possessions tightly since it is literally the way I survive.

That’s fair. However, I’d say anyone that is just fine with the deaths of >50,000 innocent people because of some tenuous revenge premise fall closer on the politicial spectrum to Reagan or Bush than anyone I’d even consider labelling a “liberal”.

I suspect you should listen to your own counterpoint:

Don’t walk down the street because someone might rob you.

Don’t use your computer because someone could hack you.

Don’t go swimming because it is possible to drown.

Throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

An uncensorable ledger not controlled by any one party is (at the very least) a valuable technology with unique abilities despite scammers using it for gambling.

The digital equivalent of uniqueness is (at the very least) a valuable technology with unique abilities despite assholes using it for Bored Apes.

Just because you can’t see the use case, doesn’t mean we need to stop innovating.

Scammers:

• don’t tend to share any of their their source code
• usually have an initial token allocation where insiders are given early access to more than 15% of tokens. (this one is a CRUCIAL)…Obviously, the best ITA is one where the tokens are 100% available to everyone at once.
• heavily market their cryptocurrency before it even has a use-case (most projects fall into this category)
• their governance is centralized to some charismatic Elon-bro that talks about price all the time
• don’t let you use any wallet you want (self-sovereignty is CRUCIAL)
• don’t give you access to your keys at all times (again, self-sovereignty)
• are usually just some governance token or ERC-20 or some quickly minted Solana token ($LIBRA $TRUMP $MELANIA were all obvious scams)
• never have a viable peer-reviewed white paper
• their code is NEVER formally verified by neutral parties
• use technologies that are not auditable
• use technologies that are not decentralized

I’ve spotted many scammers a mile away just starting with this list off the top of my head.

For instance, I am the moderator of infosec.pub/c/midnight and actually locked my own communities until I see the source code.

I like the tech from what they tell me. But, I can’t, in good conscience recommend it yet because it ticks some of the above scammer boxes.

Don’t call me buddy, guy!

You: “If you won’t spend your whole weekend on your smart phone, writing a paper for me complete with MLA formatted bibliography, you are wrong.”

Replying uselessly to comments you don’t like just to defend a censorship-happy neoliberal hivemind hotbed makes you look like a petty, bored, very gullible person.

is too communist for you?!?!?

Thanks. 😂 Honestly, I hate scammers. I really do. But they’re SO easy to spot.

I feel that the hivemind threw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to crypto. Thanks to Do Kwan, Sam Bankman Fried, etc, a whole viable set of technologies aimed at wrestling power from the world bank has been vilified by the hivemind.

Yeah! How dare people try to have wealth that is actually borderless and self-sovereign. Those idiots are scammers! I will own nothing and be happy. Get out of my way, I need to step in line to bow before the Federal reserve (an organization that I fully admit is corrupt to the core and the very root of the issues in our society). I’m actually a Marxist living in a capitalist society. So, I am too cool to worry about the fact that I actually need money. I’ll just pretend that I don’t need it even though I REALLY do. I’ll do whatever I can to piss on viable alternatives to the Fed just because people were degenerate gamblers and got owned by obvious scammers. Sure the fed can take away my money for no reason, inflate the dollar so that my savings are worth less every single day, and do whatever they feel like with my money but that is a good thing because scammers exist in the world…

Instances could run stake pools and tie the two together somehow. Perhaps in this case, your username follows whatever pool you’re staking to.

It’s a solution look for a problem admittedly. It works better in the case that instances act as retail “clubs” like Costco for example. In that case, stakers to said pool could be authorized to get certain deals on products sold by that instance.
