My canary in coal mine.
With the wave governments are going in Europe, increasingly taking away freedoms and wealth I think it indeed may finally be time for network states My difference of opinion with the Network State theory here is that I think it's easier to adapt existing countries (or city

Once ChatControl is in place it will be repurposed to fight "disinformation". At that point WhatsApp becomes as monitored and censored as WeChat in China. If friends abroad send you a news article, it won't reach your phone if the govt-controlled AI filter labels it as disinfo.
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. https://t.co/015qmQnIS2

(The year is 2030) I try to buy round flights for my parents in Europe to visit me overseas, but their digital IDs have "run out of carbon credits at this moment". The message is opaque and never gives the number of carbon credits; it only says if you have enough of them. 3/3

(The year is 2030) I send obfuscated links to X/Twitter on a WhatsApp group of friends in Europe who are unaware of the cypherpunk riots in Brussels. They tell me X now requires KYC with the new digital 🆔. They're afraid of losing carbon credits for opening certain links. 2/3

(The year is 2030) I'm living overseas. Talking on the WhatsApp family group with my parents in Europe. They mention something about the high cost of living the last few years, but their messages are disappearing, flagged by the #ChatControl AI as Russian disinformation. 1/3

Maybe unaffordable housing is an early sign of societal/political collapse and civil unrest.
An affordability nightmare: It would take a -38% drop in home prices OR a +60% JUMP in household income JUST for affordability to go back to 2019 levels. You must now make ~$113,000/year to afford the MEDIAN home in the US. Will housing ever be affordable again? (a thread)

UK Age Verification Data Confirms What Critics Always Predicted: Mass Migration To Sketchier Sites https://t.co/LHPvRWzfIB ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New data from the UK’s age verification rollout provides hard evidence of what internet governance experts have been warning about for years: these laws don’t protect children—they syst…
Big Tech is making a huge strategic mistake going along with KYCing the internet. The social media dopamine slot machine needs the variance that comes with non-conventional views/opinions/art. Big Tech will kill their golden goose 🪿🪙.

We might have the same heads of state in 500 years.
Microphone picked up conversation between Putin and Xi at the Beijing parade. Xi: “People rarely lived past 70 before. Now at 70 you’re still a child.” Putin: “With biotech, organs can be replaced endlessly… people could even reach immortality.” Xi: “Some predict people might

Maybe crypto is now just part of the everything bubble.
Traditional economic metrics (inverted yield curve, Fed Funds Rate and Unemployment) indicate a stock crash is likely to time approximately (give or take a couple months) with the dropping of the Fed Funds Rate, which is going to begin happening soon. Many indicators are lining

Maybe GPDR was a Trojan horse to make a registry of data silos, so they could plug in the surveillance dragnet later.

@vpnet_official They will confiscate crypto with a mandatory central asset registry (because you bought your crypto with KYC, didn't you?) plus a wrench attack. https://t.co/ZCHEjr8jl0
I forgot the Central Asset Registry where the EU wants to track everything you own. Why? So they can tax it, obviously. An EU wealth tax. Become sovereign while you can. We built @CitizenX for this.
