A crypto decentralized dao airline will be established. There will be also be delays and you’ll feel nickel and dimed for everything. The class tiering membership and rewards will be even more inscrutable and insufferable with 10x carbon for hopping to your offshore cyptocolony.
At daoAir you pay a gas fee to book a flight, change a flight, mint a boarding NFT, have a premium beverage juicero’d at your seat, and of course the fees to convert to the wifi coin
And pretty much only the first airdrops get lounge access because the prices are steep for the coveted day pass NFTs

So if crypto achieves its intrinsic objective of obsoleting democratic sovereign states and their antiquated trappings of central banks and judiciaries what’s the actual mechanism that deters fraud as a business model à la Theranos?
Reply guys saying but the blockchain is “transparent” isn’t that the whole idea! then tell me about all the recent fraudulent NFT ape transactions that require arcane knowledge to even begin to comprehend let alone conjure any possible remedies for blatant theft
So far the answer is a web2 centralization on top of web3 chaining but we haven’t seen a proof of concept for a fully decentralized platform governance UX because it’s so much more difficult than convincing folks to speculate their excess covid cash on the next big thing

So kinda like a #log4j attack on democracy itself
Technically a bad analogy mea culpa because passwords would never pass to logs (gulp) but meant to convey a surplus of meaning; certification of votes and whatnot; gunking the logs as a hack if you open an exploit
What is log4j in 3mins

Most Americans don’t realize that EU Charter includes a fundamental right to data protection. Sure pass an industry-favored commercial privacy law and a right-wing SCOTUS will eventually strike it down making business surveillance protected speech under 1A litigating ClearviewAI.
Affording rights for the 21st Century and beyond, the EU is a modern conception. No parallel in the US Constitution. I fear we need an amendment to enshrine our #datarights, ultimately. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/… Image
