Interesting observation by this Apple cofounder:

> Wayne feels that the monetary system has been on a path to disaster since it left the gold standard. It’s a belief, inspired by his reading of Adam Smith, that he’s stood behind for much of his life.

“I understood immediately, in 1968, that we were in trouble not only in The United States but worldwide because they took the whole world off of the gold standard,” he explained. “Which meant that every country in the world was running on what’s called fiat money. Instead of money backed by gold and silver, which had been the case for 2,400 years very successfully, now the world was running on Monopoly money


It is pretty well understood why the gold standard is worse than our current system.

How does this compare to Meshtastic, MeshCore and Bitchat?

Doesn't. That is like comparing the network connection with apps.

Network doesn't usually care much about the apps running on top of it.


It’s a necessity to use AI to keep AI slop in check.

There are 2 kinds of companies: those who’ve been hacked and those who don’t know they’ve been hacked.

KYC is the crime.

> * The Department of Justice seized roughly $15 billion in bitcoin from the self-custodied cryptocurrency wallets of Prince Group founder Chen Zhi*

How did they get theirs hands on the keys of a self custodial wallet I wonder?

NSA special back door? Or a $5 wrench attack?
