Public and private ledgers are a useful access model distinction that's not going anywhere. What should disappear is the association of [public = decentralized = proletariat = good] and [private = centralized = big business = bad]. coindesk.com/public-private…
We all know "public" projects that are actually very centralized, and there are lots of uses for private side chains that aren't bank consortiums. Sharding might address some of this (someday), but not all. And (😮) not all p2p applications need a blockchain. Shocking, I know.
Censorship resistant payments on a public ledger is a "killer app" just as Usenet & email was for the Internet: fundamental; revolutionary; great. But if you told the CEO of Blockbuster about Netflix on my phone in 2000, he'd probably say magic internet dust won't solve anything.
Shameless plug: And if this sounds reasonable to you, check out @GrowClovyr. We're not just dropping press quotes, we're building plumbing. And we're hiring. ☘️

Good lord, these talking points are getting so old and boring. It's a MESSAGE BOARD WITH INFORMATION. This isn't rocket science people. It's not dangerous, it's not dumb, it's fascinating, it's fun and it isn't going anywhere. I like you H.A, but chill brother. You're paranoid.
Some people out there need guidance, some are lost, some people need an igniter, etc. Especially in other countries. This movement made researching fun and more interesting again, for certain people. Nothing wrong with this. Read or don't read. It's that simple.
The people throwing out all these blanket terms around simply don't understand the bigger picture, haven't tried to understand or are simply just jealous of the attention it's getting. You're entirely missing the point here. The WHO has always been irrelevant.

1/8 It’s time to set the binance record straight and let the world know the truth. The binance - DGB story starts with us refusing to pay the “listing fee” last summer/fall. And continuing to refuse to ever pay it for the last 12 months.
2/8 Several key members of the DGB community were accused of being Chinese spies last fall in WeChat groups attempting to undermine CZ... Groups none of us were ever part of or aware of since none of us use WeChat. Major miscommunication here.
3/8 Binance used our social media attention for the Citibank Tech4Integiry event in 2017 to gain attention for itself after first launching. Several twitter polls were won for DGB and a listing was “promised” on several occasions.

Going to do a little thread on what it’s like to be on the autistic spectrum. Will add to it from time to time, mostly myth debunking, stuff you might not know & how to help / interact with autistic people in your life. #ActuallyAutistic
Did you know that a lot of autistic people have problems processing sensory input? Even leaving the house can be totally overwhelming as we are less tolerant of bright lights, strong smells, loud noises (or multiple noise sources), textures, motion etc. #ActuallyAutistic
If you’re meeting an autistic friend, try to meet somewhere quiet & calm. If you can make the effort to travel closer to us, that helps greatly as long journeys can be really difficult. On top of the sensory issues, we can be very anxious about planning. #ActuallyAutistic

"Good Evening. Assalamoalikum.

We are gathered today on stolen land."

My first speech to @AuSenate:
There is still a reluctance among many to acknowledge that we are a settler colonial society. It is a simple fact. Australia is a nation built on the invasion and colonisation of sovereign nations. It saddens me that that this reality is still denied, often vehemently.
Our past directly informs our future. Without truth, reconciliation and sovereignty for First Nations people, our past remains a gaping wound.

Part I – The FISA Court Grants The Authority, Not The Ability…

1) There is a meeting scheduled tomorrow between key congressional oversight committee heads (Nunes, Gowdy etc.) and leadership of the FBI (Director Wray),
2) DOJ (Edward O’Callaghan) and ODNI (Dan Coats). The meeting was set up by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and the purpose of the meeting is to come to some agreement on access to documents being withheld by the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI.
3) However, amid the ongoing debate over spies & informants used by the CIA & FBI to conduct political surveillance, there’s an aspect of the ongoing investigation that seems to be entirely overlooked.

Good morning, babies. In a few minutes I'll be starting my *definitive* thread on Mr. David S. Pumpkins, of the Haunted Elevator sketch.
I'm going to do a rewatch before I dive in. You can watch with me here.
