There’s a kind of libertarian utopianism at work in the whole digital currency market. It’s sort of like everyone preparing for a post-apocalyptic world where banks and governments no-longer exist, but the internet does, only there’s no longer any central servers, just a bunch of wi-fi hot-spots, so you have to pay for things by transferring a cryptographic “object” from your phone to someone else’s phone without having that transaction go through a bank. It will be sort of like technological “mad max”. FROM https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2021/11/explaining-nfts.html#comments

NFTs don’t just provide a kind of digital “deed.” Because blockchains are programmable, it’s possible to endow NFTs with features that enable them to expand their purpose over time, or even to provide direct utility to their holders. In other words, NFTs can do things — or let their owners do things — in both digital spaces and the physical world. https://hbr.org/2021/11/how-nfts-create-value Avax programs in Solidity - Sol in Rust - Btc in Cobol, etc

Defragging Crypto
While too much is being asked of the term " Crypto ", its politics are becoming more of an issue since its economic reach and power keeps rapidly increasing. By drilling down a little on the politics we might then identify some crypto-anarchy crypto that's good and some ' cyber-liberty ' crypto that's bad. I say we rope Btc off into a ' bad cluster ' since its attracted so many bad actors - Gold-buggers, Anti-vaxxers, pro-nuke, Mars invading MAGA-type morons, etc. Bad ideas cling together and they'll cling to us if we let them. But phasing Btc out doesn't mean losing crypto-anarchist momentum now there are alt-coins ready to take up any slack. It does, however mean losing a lot of greenwashing garbage hopelessly trying to cover up Btc's unconscionable C02 emissions. So may I count on your support? Its a reciprocal arrangement.

> Joe "Mr. Unconstitutional" Biden Without Rule of Law you’re just a banana republic https://www.sovereignman.com/trends/without-rule-of-law-youre-just-a-banana-republic-33965/ In the year 552 BC in the province of Persis in modern day Iran, a local sheepherder started a revolt against his ruler, King Astyages of the Median Empire. The sheepherder’s name was Cyrus, though he would become known to history as Cyrus the Great. Cyrus led the rebellion against Astyages for three years, winning the decisive battle in 549 BC; and with Astyages defeated, Cyrus went on to found his own kingdom that would quickly become one of the largest empires in the history of the world. Cyrus’s new Persian Empire became vast and powerful. And Cyrus himself was revered by his subjects who believed he had been ordained by the god Ahura Mazda to rule over them. But despite Cyrus’s autocratic power, the Persian Empire still had a very strong ‘rule of law’. Whatever Cyrus decreed became supreme law of the land. Yet his rules were straightforward, fair, and stable. He was not whimsical or petty. He did not change the rules at a moment’s notice, and he was very respectful of people’s individual freedoms. Corruption was a capital offense. Any of Cyrus’s government officials who were found accepting bribes were put to death. Lying also became a capital offense, which compelled politicians and bureaucrats to always tell the truth. The court system was also highly revered; the king established the law, but judges settled disputes to ensure fairness across the board. Anyone who refused to accept the decision of a judge was put to death. And dishonest judges were flayed alive, with their skin used to upholster courtroom furniture as a warning to the next judge who filled the bench. His punishments may have been harsh. But Cyrus’s goal was to establish a strong rule of law where everyone could have trust and confidence in the system, and everyone had to follow the rules. Rule of Law is incredible important; throughout history, societies with a strong rule of law flourished. When laws are fair, predictable, and evenly applied, businesses can plan and prosper. People can confidently invest in the future. Economies grow and everyone wins. Where the Rule of Law is weak and corrupt, the opposite happens. Businesses can’t plan anything because the rules are constantly changing. No one wants to invest because they feel like everything is going to be taken from them. This is the sort of thing we’re seeing now in the Land of the Free. Several weeks ago when Hunter Biden’s dad issued his royal OSHA decree, it was almost immediately met with a number of lawsuits. Now, even beyond the obvious Constitutional and human rights issues, the nationwide mandate is extremely anti-democratic. In a well-functioning representative democracy, there should have been a national conversation about a mandate. It should have been an election issue and essentially appear on the ballot. Voters should have had their say. Yet that never happened. There was no national conversation. And any hint of discussion was shut down by the media and big tech companies. Any opposition was censored. This is seriously supposed to be the world’s most advanced democracy? Well it certainly took a while. But a US federal appeals court finally ruled a few days ago to temporarily block this nationwide mandate. In a society where the Rule of Law is strong, the court order would be respected by all, including the federal government. But that’s no longer the world we live in. In fact, despite the clear and obvious judicial ruling which cites “grave statutory and constitutional issues”, the administration is still telling business to proceed with the mandate. They’re flat out ignoring the court ruling. It’s extraordinary. Sadly this is not an isolated event. Recently a number of federal authorities raided the homes of journalists for supposedly being implicated in the ‘theft’ of the Ashley Biden’s diary. If someone wants to report the theft of their personal property, this would ordinarily be a matter handled by the local police. Only in a country without any rule of law would something so trivial involve federal authorities and the Justice Department. This is political persecution, plain and simple. The list goes on and on. Several weeks ago, for example, the head of the CDC simply invented special authority for herself to take control of the entire $10+ trillion US national housing market. This is all the stuff of banana republics. And it’s amazing how the people in charge cannot understand why no one trusts the system. The bottom line here is that a weak rule of law is just another indicator of serious rot. History is very clear on this point. And when you see that even the government refuses to respect its own system, it’s really time to get your Plan B in order.
Cryptocurrency: When Free Markets? 4k Years to DeFi...
Crypto DeFi... the last remaining peaceful path to Free Markets. 4,000+ years later and they still haven’t figured it out https://www.sovereignman.com/trends/4000-years-later-and-they-still-havent-figured-it-out-33955/ More than four thousand years ago around 2112 BC, King Ur-Nammu of ancient Sumeria gathered his scribes together to dictate a series of royal decrees, all of which were chiseled onto cuneiform tablets. A handful of these tablets were discovered and translated in the 20th century, making the Code of Ur-Nammu the oldest known set of laws in the world. While most of the King’s laws dealt with criminal matters (i.e. requiring the death penalty for both murder and robbery), some of the rules were actually a very early form of price controls. Hundreds of years later, King Hammurabi of Babylon created his own set of laws, known to history as the Code of Hammurabi. And while his code is famously known for its principle of ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’, much of Hammurabi’s code also fixed wages, prices, finance, and commerce. For example, the King decreed that any man who defaults on his debts could pay off his creditors by subjecting his wife, son, or daughter to forced labor for three years… regardless of the size of the loan. Hammurabi also fixed the price of wholesale grain storage, shipping, divorce, livestock, and even drinks at the local tavern. There are also several sections devoted to wage controls; Hammurabi saw fit, for example, that a home builder be paid a certain fee that depended only on the size of the house. Similarly, occupations ranging from farm laborers, ox drivers, shipbuilders, herdsmen, skilled artisans, etc. all had their wages fixed by the Code. There is also strong historical evidence of price controls in ancient Egypt. The ancient Indian philosopher Vishnugupta’s advised kings to not only fix prices, but fix the maximum profit for traders and businesses. And the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s infamous Edict on Wages and Prices in the early 300s AD was a complete disaster. Wage controls, price controls, financial controls, and commercial controls have been vainly imposed by governments for thousands of years. We’ve learned from history that they simply do not work. And yet, rather insanely, politicians keep trying these same tactics over and over again, expecting a different result. Recently I was visited by a close friend of mine from Argentina who often tells me the grim economic tales of his home country. Argentina is in a perennial state of economic chaos; like Venezuela, it went from being one of the most prosperous countries in the world in the 20th century, to one of the most chaotic. They’ve confiscated assets, imposed wealth taxes, defaulted on their debt, banned exports, and utterly destroyed their currency. In local currency terms, inflation in Argentina is 50%… though no one in their right minds actually holds their savings in Argentine pesos. Inflation is now so bad in Argentina that the government recently imposed a set of price controls. And my friend informed me that a number of producers, especially in the agricultural sector, have stopped delivering because the government’s price mandate is below their cost of production. Last but not least, my friend told me that Argentina’s government is also planning to forbid businesses from laying off workers. Even when a company cannot afford to keep employees because the economic situation is so pitiful, they somehow have to keep paying workers with money they don’t have. It’s like that old Soviet adage– “we pretend to work, they pretend to pay us.” These types of measures would almost be comical if they didn’t cause such widespread suffering. And yet even rich, advanced nations are susceptible to this way of thinking. In fact we’ve seen so much of it over the past 18 months, disguised as public health protocols. They spent hundreds of billions of dollars to give businesses free “PPP” loans so that workers could continue to be paid to NOT work. Then the government simply took on that responsibility themselves, paying people directly to stay home and NOT work. Now they’re trying to force businesses to fire tens of millions of people, even in critical sectors like healthcare and transportation, because of their vaccine status. Each of these measures is a way for the government to direct the supply and free flow of labor. In other words, they’re essentially wage controls. We’ve also seen endless examples of other controls. They forced certain places to close (churches, bars) but allowed others to operate (liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries, social justice riots). They unilaterally suspended evictions and foreclosures, creating incentives for people to stop paying rent/interest. And through the central bank, they’ve pumped hundreds of billions of dollars into financial markets, inflating stocks, bonds, housing, etc. to essentially create asset price controls. The specific

But while his trial takes place, a Facebook search for Rittenhouse turns up no results, even when using both the mobile and desktop version of the platform.

Facebook search for Kyle Rittenhouse on Nov. 11, 2021. (The Epoch Times) It is unclear why search results are not appearing. The Epoch Times has contacted Facebook for comment. Bizarrely, searches with the misspelled name “Kyle Rittenhouses” showed results as did “Rittenhouse Kyle” and just the last name “Rittenhouse.” Last year, Facebook admitted to blocking search results for “Kyle Rittenhouse” immediately following the Kenosha shooting. “It’s not actually new,” a Facebook representative told The Verge at the time. “We block searches for a ton of stuff..." The social media giant also said it was taking proactive measures to limit information in the wake of the incident, and a spokesperson told The Verge Facebook had, “designated this shooting as a mass murder and [had] removed the shooter’s accounts from Facebook and Instagram.” Facebook confirmed to the Daily Caller in September that it had banned all content in praise of Rittenhouse, including posts from users who argue he acted in self-defense, and had placed him on a list of “dangerous individuals and organizations.” Vice President of Counterterrorism and Dangerous Organizations Brian Fishman also told the outlet it had removed Rittenhouse’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.
