I think they are literally thinking along the lines of "i don't like crypto; ergo the risks that apply to the crypto sector do not apply to me"

If people started using crypto to avoid this tax and lawmakers tried to close the loophole with unconstitutional restrictions on speech and software publication we'd happily fight it out in the courts.

The proposed 5% remittance tax in the ‘Big Beautiful Tax Bill’ does not apply to crypto transactions sent from self custody. And may not apply to transactions sent from hosted wallet providers either. New from Coin Center: www.coincenter.org/what-the-pro...

“decentralization” can be a scary word but eg look at custom feeds instead of our own blackbox algorithm, we’re turning it over to third-party users to create a marketplace of feeds that anyone can subscribe to. for us, third-party should feel as seamless as first-party — that’s decentralization

been going down a youtube rabbit hole of serial police impersonators getting arrested lately. it’s amazing how many there are. weird combo of ego, failing out of becoming a real cop, and (i assume) weird guys using their fake job to impress women

Dearest mutuals, How are things back home? We hear that the king’s actions grow more vile, and the new aristocracy he has empowered are cruel. It is a wild but hopeful land here. Many have made the trip over. We still cannot block, which engenders much unpleasantness, but also opportunity.

the other alt-twitters are too niche. this one has done a good job of attracting generalist posters who aren’t really experts in any one thing and more just in it for love of the game
