Countries that do not allow women to own property

Include Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, and Afghanistan.
If there is a fundamental right to wrong for crypto this is it.

And the solution scales!

So does the problem, the largest human rights violations on earth are those actively enforced by states and religions.

Backwoods1999

Like lithium sourcing in Africa the worst kind of child labour imaginable in brutal conditions supported by every western country and at this point 99% of the western public;don’t ask don’t tell situation

buddy holy

This could enable a righteous meme coin with a drop to women's rights groups in these countries.

The First Anarchist

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Joseph_Proudhon

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was a 19th century French politician that was the 1st person to declare themselves an anarchist. His basic message was to stop fighting the state and simply ignore it.

My bigga.

it basically went from hippy to punk

Chaos is the all powerful force of nature why is it a bad thing ?

Tony888

Surely Moses/Jesus were proto anarchists….

lazybosgy

It wasn't do nothing. He proposed a mutualist economy compete with the capitalist one, what Lenin would later appropriate as dual power, to eventually subsume it. In practice, it is questionable if he even was an anarcho; he sat in parliament, was against strikes and revolutions, and advocated for money in the form of labour vouchers.

US to citizens: Give Us All Your Gold or 10 years in Jail

US to citizens: Give Us All Your Gold or 10 years in Jail

https://catalyst.independent.org/2023/04/04/us-seized-gold/

FDR literally confiscated every American's gold. Will this be government's ultimate move with crypto?

Hootie and the Blow Job

You can bet on some gov doing exactly this.

theStrokes

but what currency will you use for the bet?

Amsterdamned

Weed?

grits

ill bet an 1/8th to get a quarter when it happens

gypsum_fantastic

Which govt? Given the current prevailing global ideology is extreme neoliberalism, fuelled by libertarian ideals, it seems unlikely, except potentially for the use of controlling criminal use of currency.

Personally I don't subscribe to a hyper individualistic libertarian neo liberal philosophy. And I think that in looking at what FDR did - lifting the US economy, the alphabet agencies etc - he did make the USA better. And subsequent adherents to the philosophy I have described above have undone much of his work.

fommysWitAttitude

looking at the economic and societal impact (worldwide) fdr's legacy is militaraising the united states. the country has been in a constant state of war since he was in office and americans now devote a day of work each week to buying weapons and feeding soldiers.

i can't see how his administrative agencies have been undone. apart from the legal challenges of his own time they are much bigger than they were then.

gypsum_fantastic

Given the war he was funding, I am not sure I blame him for heavily funding the military. In fact, as someone whose family were murdered living in a country that the Nazis tried to invade, I kind of celebrate it.

And given the cold war, most of his successors can't be blamed either. You can look at presidents from Reagan onwards for blame.

Nearly all the new deal agencies are now gone.

zeppomarx

Countries with currency controls are a decent place to start:
Algeria
Angola
Argentina
Armenia
Bahamas
Barbados
Belarus
Cameroon
China
Cuba
Ethiopia
Ghana
India
Iran
Libya
Morocco
Myanmar
Mozambique
Namibia
Nepal
Nigeria
North Korea
Russia
Samoa
South Africa
Sudan
Tunisia
Ukraine
Uzbekistan
Venezuela
Zimbabwe

Will Tor Ever Mainstream?

Will Tor Ever Mainstream?

while the general public has got tonnes more privacy conscious tor remains unknown

BrassTacks

I think tor will forever hold a certain stigma around it that scares less technically skilled people away. I've been using the browser for about 8 years now and I'm yet to really see any sort of difference in userbase. Brave browser has certainly done bits to get younger people on board with privacy and the onion network, but I imagine those people would have eventually found their way into the onion anyways. It's certainly more plausible that things /could/ change now though, it no longer takes a billion years to open onion links anymore which was a big factor in me using the browser more often.

syjefroi181

I think people, in general, are mindless about privacy. We sign over tons of data to Amazon, store cards, streaming sites, etc. and it has become baked into daily life. All but a few of us are guilty of this to some extent.

Tenpester

Browser distribution to corporate platforms that own browsers is the non-starter here.

5th time recht

Every platform has its day, self interest makes some serious ched but it also kills them over time.

The Best Opportunity For Revolution In Centuries

by abacus

The Best Opportunity For Revolution In Centuries

With cryptographic networks the fundamental activities of a peaceful society have been freed from government control:

Finance check
Commerce check
Communications check

Yet physical violence remains a government monopoly. It's threat is considered the source of human order.

It's not hard to see how technology can decentralise violence too. Robots and a.i. are great equalizers of this terrible power. An army of 1 program could perhaps be enough to bring us back to the violent instability of our human past.

And that's what makes right now the best opportunity for peaceful and global evolution.

What our ancestors thought was only achievable through guns (or rocks), freedom from an exploitive ruling class, is becoming feasible through technology.

This revolution would look more like a pilgrimage for some, and for others a chance to improve the old game.

Are we as humans (and maybe our early successors/partners) able to do this? Or is it too late to avoid the old kind of revolution?

Vitalik On Network States

https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/07/13/networkstates.html

The founder of Ethereum weighs in on the idea that networks hold the potential for government.

electrorainbow

Do you view this as a positive or a negative? Personally for me, any sort of governance that is not my own really rankles. It's a hard one though. Many many MANY people have been convinced that there's no way at all humans can govern themselves, all the while forgetting that those that supposedly govern them are also humans (though that is entirely debatable in some circles, my own included, lol)
Edit: I'd written "his man's" instead of humans, and being a female that rankled me too. Lmfao. Just kidding. But still, correct text is better than not.
