I think it's incredibly bullish to watch what miners do. There's only 6.4% of supply left to mine and they are investing MILLIONS into massive facilities and it's just getting started. For reference, 200MW is like 4x the power consumption of my entire city. For one mining facility! [arkinox arkinox@arkinox.tech].

~50% of SEC enforcement cases were crypto in 2023… The SEC is once again showing their hand, as they are disclosing today that their enforcement crusade against crypto is also a sideshow to distract against their lack of pursuing cases against traditional financial firms.

The most under-reported and under-discussed story of 2023: a federal district court judge, upheld by a unanimous appellate panel, found the Biden WH and FBI committed one of the gravest attacks on the 1st Am in decades by coercing Big Tech to censor dissent online.

NOSTR: 

Nostr summed up: You own your data (contact list, posts, profile, etc). This is pretty unique, in every other online app the company owns your data and they are just letting you access it until they say you can’t. Your data is portable, it can be stored on your devices and copied to many relays. This effectively makes your online presence unbannable and undeplatformable. You are not just cattle for big tech to sell ads to. It’s borderless. the protocol integrates the native money of the internet (sats via nostr #zaps) so you can freely transfer value to anyone in the world if you like their post. It’s bridged to other protocols like activitypub so its not isolated to just nostr weirdos. There are 10+ quality clients to choose from if you don’t like the one you first tried. No other social media protocol has this level of client development. POST: https://primal.net/e/note1q378dxn83zlcrrkz25jtwnp0jmxc6qzvx8v7fqntfgsdavmn7rys5553zw
