To add another quote from Giles Deleuze, the grande philosophe of Paris 8: “A concept is a brick; it can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.”

The anti-Trump backlash commences. The Democratic Party, due to their corruption - running a sex offender like Cuomo is a new low - is dead. Time for a second American Revolution: The USA needs a new political system.

Cryptocurrency is at a crossroads. VC money has moved to AI, and crypto hasn’t delivered its promise of a decentralized censorship-resistant internet. Just talk to someone in Iran. We must double-down on pro-privacy and anti-surveillance tech. @MoneroKon gave me hope.

Absolutely psychotic for the US to engage in World War 3 - this is just going to be a second Iraq War. The majority of the American people are against this war - this war will only escalate the end of the American Empire.
"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.

Until you realize that the USA is currently ruled by a Third World Dictator whose political program is race war and grievance mongering - and the police are a paramilitary terrorist groups. The real eye-opener is when you realize this is the tendency of all nation-states.

Max is missing:. À real cypherpunk uses . 1. Use $XMR.2. Use Linux .3. Use @GrapheneOS .4. Use NymVPN @nymproject, not a centralized VPN that is effectively a honeypot for your data.
Want to become a Cypherpunk? Here’s Max Hillebrand’s advices:. - Use Bitcoin.- Use Lightning Network.- Use hardware wallets - @Trezor .- Use VPN.- Get rid of Gmail and use ProtonMail.- Use Signal.- Use Password Manager.- Use Nostr.- Run a Bitcoin Node.- Read books like A Lodging.

Told you.
I was wrong about Trump . Entire Trump family are nepotistic extractive grifters, probably sets crypto back a decade after leaving office . Getting us into another large scale conflict in the Middle East after he campaigned against the Iraq war and foreign wars for other nations.
