1/ Many of the activities we perform on the blockchain are invisible to others. There's a limited social graph to see what we and our peers are doing. Enter @phi_xyz, a unique addition to #Web3 that facilitates user engagement and understanding of the ecosystem's primitives 🌐✨ 
2/ The new internet requires a fresh way of understanding on-chain events. Even legitimate ideas can be discarded as fantastical because they don't fit the current framework. Rethinking how we understand will flatten the adoption curve. #Innovation #AdoptionCurve 🔍🔗
3/ Web3 often focuses on utilitarian products, neglecting humanism. Phi's team understands the importance of creating products that "delight" users. Phi shares this ethos, aiming to onboard the next billion people to crypto in an enjoyable way. #UserExperience #Web3 💡🤝

@edecapitani @wouter_wolfs @POLITICOEurope
Over the past several years, @EDC_eudemocracy has made many, many requests to the European Parliament to access decisions by its Bureau on the funding of #europeanparties. These included decisions for funding (for the coming year) and final accounts (which wrap up the process).
Invariably, these documents were provided with heavy redactions over the parts covering the EP's reasoning for its decisions: we could see the outcome (amounts), but not how decisions were made. Until yesterday, the latest full document related to funding for 2015 -- 8 years ago.

🧵 Thread: How Bitcoin Block Hash Revolutionizes Provably Fair Lottery Draws 🎰
1/ Hey Twitter fam! Today, I want to talk about an exciting concept that has transformed the world of lottery draws: the Bitcoin block hash. It's not just about cryptocurrency; it's about provable fairness and transparency in lotteries. Let's dive in! #Bitcoin #LotteryDraws
2/ The beauty of using the Bitcoin block hash in lottery draws is in its unpredictability. Each block hash is unique, making it impossible to predict or manipulate the outcome. Ensuring that every participant has an equal chance of winning, free from any foul play. #ProvablyFair

August 2018, a simpler time for us all. @PolarBarrett was providing great city hall +more in Kalamazoo for @MLive. The Kalamazoo City Commission received a recommendation from staff to change city code that many complained unfairly targeted homeless residents.
Proposal in Aug 2018 would ban:
"Any activity in Parks where bedding, sleeping bags, personal belongings or other materials, are established, or maintained for the purpose of maintaining a place to dwell or sleep for a period longer than 2 total hrs within a 12 hr period..."

1/7 🎉🚀 Celebrating @cakedefi's 4 anniversary, let's take a trip down memory lane! Back in 2019, @uzyn and I met for a casual catch-up that led to the birth of #CakeDeFi. #FoundingStory cakedefi.com

How to Research Western "Soft Power" Media Influence

Western governments, corporations, and NGOs devote a lot of resources to "research," "experts," and narrative control.
Of course, other governments do it too, but at this point others are pretty clearly labeled, and those governments being bad is drilled into our minds.

In some instances, someone may seem like a "#glowie" [fed] but it is impossible to prove.
However, ours is not a subtle age, and the Western soft power machine considers themselves the "good guys," so they commonly don't even obscure their activities; they boast of them

You’ve probably heard or even used the quote: “The Judiciary is the Last Hope of the common man or woman”.
It is simple; yet profound as a street version of the maxim of the Rule of Law, that “Both the rich and poor are Equal before the Law” and always.
