eldenwrong··on TikTok Ban Bill Is Patriot Act 2.0 Trojan Horse [video]
Not really but I understand that the word is used like that by people who haven't spent 30sec looking what it actually is

It really means no government or central authority dictating arbitrary rules enforced by violence.

Imagine going outside of your house and engaging in voluntary interactions the whole day. A horrible horrible world.

Thankfully the government and police make everyone behave due to the threat of violence. What would we do without them!!?

Anarchy doesn't mean no rules

Anarchy would be great and the chances of that are extremely small. I think you mean a total surveillance fascist dictatorship

Ever heard of the Azov battalion?

Oh sorry the US does it constantly by mistake. Its just stuck on a loop.

As if the government and the wealthy weren't extremely closely related. One even might say "twins"

Weren't most americans supporting the "war on terror"?

And weren't all your president approving drone strikes on kids and families for decades?

The level of propaganda that americans consume is not to different to the one of russians.

Ofc it didn't help that Ukraine was harboring entire Nazi battalions.

Just think if China was putting a military base in the mexican border and Mexico hired Nazis to fight for them. What would the international response would be like? Not too difficult to imagine eh?

Easy to say when your government has committed worse atrocities and you've never suffered for it
eldenwrong··on CFTC sues Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao [pdf]
Not too different from americans believing the war on terror was about freedom.

Did they get any sanctions? Nah

eldenwrong··on CFTC sues Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao [pdf]
Why are russians punished for the sins of their government? Should americans get the same treatment then?
eldenwrong··on Crypto exchange Kraken to shut staking service, pay $30M fine in SEC settlement
It's just a spelling mistake.
eldenwrong··on Covid drug drives viral mutations – and now some want to halt its use
The vaccine doesn't provide immunity. It doesn't prevent transmission, just lowers it. This is well known. It may lower sickness severity in older population. It also only lasts 2-3 months.
eldenwrong··on Covid drug drives viral mutations – and now some want to halt its use
There was a recent paper published in Nature that shows this. Only observed in people who had breakthrough infections though
eldenwrong··on Covid drug drives viral mutations – and now some want to halt its use
Yeah cause this type of vaccine doesn't provide immunity and the protection lasts a couple of months at most. Not to mention that repeated doses are started to be weakening the immune system
eldenwrong··on Covid drug drives viral mutations – and now some want to halt its use
Yes but it would have been much worse without the vaccine
eldenwrong··on Covid drug drives viral mutations – and now some want to halt its use
Uh most vaccines did offer pretty good immunity and an extreme reduction in transmission

They are not in the same category at all

eldenwrong··on The digital pound: A new form of money for households and businesses?
Because the crypto space are just scammers. They barely know anything

People working on Bitcoin are very aware of this and it has been extensively discussed this in the last 10 years and taken into account even by Satoshi

eldenwrong··on The digital pound: A new form of money for households and businesses?
Are there still reserve requirements in the UK? The US removed those

Don't buy bitcoin, buy my shitcoin

Its faster! Its new! Its more advanced!

eldenwrong··on Binance's books are a black box, filings show, as it tries to rally confidence
>"Blockchains by definition are immutable post-finality."

This is the greatest misunderstanding. Immutability is NOT a property of blockchains. Its a property of Bitcoin and possibly Ethereum through PoW/PoS

eldenwrong··on Investigating Logan Paul's biggest scam [video]
Side effects of easy monetary policy and low education of the wealthiest population in the world.
eldenwrong··on Nobody’s using CBDCs – India’s piloting one anyway
Does it require 1 click?
eldenwrong··on FTX’s collapse was a crime, not an accident
Well he's part of the exclusive money lenders club. Nothing to do with being jewish. Its literally just a coincidence that they are extremely overrepresented in positions of extreme power and wealth.

They are simply smarter than the goyim

eldenwrong··on FTX’s collapse was a crime, not an accident
He belongs to a very protected group of people who happen to own all the boats and medical outlets
eldenwrong··on How friendships change in adulthood
If things on your life seem dark right now, know that its temporary. Getting help is always an option

Bribing and rape? Explain?

eldenwrong··on Crypto trading firm Alameda Research might be insolvent
What are you implying?
eldenwrong··on Ad blocking is under attack (2017)
I only block ads for shitty multinational companies that are sadly essential for many daily tasks.

I don't lose sleep over that. Those companies ain't playing by the rules

eldenwrong··on Authors’ names have ‘astonishing’ influence on peer reviewers: study
Climate change is one of the most politicized fields at the moment.

Any questioning it, even slightly means being banned from grants and academia.

Its also interesting that most climate models are NOT open source. Most recorded data from satellites is also NOT open source. So everyone works with a pre cleaned data set.

Its also worth pointing out that data sets like HadCRUT have never been audited by any respected scientist/group of scientists. This data was collected in stations not meant for long term measurements and they have a lot of errors. Just download it yourself and see. (Climate scientists are not really data experts, since they go from clean datasets in school to "clean" data sets in real life)

Calculating global temperature is also one of those things that is done in quite an obscure way, extrapolating too much IMO.

That's false. Trust the science.
eldenwrong··on Hello Taro: Building the (Tap)Root of the World's Financial Network with Bitcoin
It seems like Bitcoin is absorbing a lot of the functionalities of other crypto networks. Haters in disbelief?

You have no argument.
eldenwrong··on Bitcoin is not a store of value
Yes. Just like if you fork the amazon website you become amazon.
