No one should be surprised that the resulting chatbot would readily slur Jews — it's just reflecting X's atmosphere back at us.

We're rapidly approaching a level of integration where a fat finger somewhere is going to crash the market or start a war (probably both)

That could happen any time. USSR looked pretty strong in the early 80s.
Will we go back to using a mixed basket of currencies?
"We're sorry to inform you that your vehicle warranty he expired.."

At the time it was trumpeted as Q/Trump draining the swamp

Their support was crucial in nominating Zohran Mamdani, who says he wants to capture “the means of production,” as the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York.
But will the young people outgrow their radicalism? There is reason to doubt. Record numbers of Generation Z are pursuing higher education, with 53% of those 18 to 24 having completed at least some college. That’s a troubling sign given how left-wing ideology has come to dominate higher ed.
Misinfomation is a funny term coming from the left who would fail basic biology in school 20 years ago. Who also somehow forget that not all whites owned slaves and that white slaves existed as well. The list goes on.
Smart contracts are generally self-executing, and thus lack a primary feature of a negotiable instrument.... The ability to breach if you got fucked.
I can write a note on a leaf or rock. Show me how you transact bitcoin on those. EMP and your economy is toast. Real fucking secure.
The only problem bitcoin and other crypto currencies have is the hard finality.
Negotiable instruments — checks, notes, sometimes bills of lading — have been the classic instruments used to facilitate trade and have very specific, nuanced rules that facilitate those transactions, and it works. The lack of warranties and ability to unwind transactions is missing in crypto. See UCC Article III for more fun!
They could have let the story quietly die instead an obvious 180° pivot to “he killed himself” and “there is no list”
It feels like someone is rubbing our noses in it
>The study consisted of a series of experiments, all of which suggested that people who performed better on a test of pattern detection—a measure of cognitive ability—were also quicker to form and apply stereotypes.
Big brain gang where we at
The "CBDC" already exists, it's USDT / USDC, and it's on a dozen different chains with markets to swap it with 1000 different other cryptos. And every year, this whole system becomes bigger and messier and more politically entrenched.
> if they make it illegal
Where? In every single country in the world?
Not to mention half the oligarchs in any given country are already secretly stashing Bitcoin, even while they're telling each other that they hate it (because it undermines the money-printer that made them all wealthy in the first place).
100 years ago, they made gold illegal in the US. It took 40 years before the system collapsed. If they were to try the same thing again with Bitcoin, I recon it'd be gone within a decade.
