Capitalism produces abundance at low cost (Walmart, Amazon, Google, X, Youtube).
Socialism kills millions with a $40 trill debt and leads to shortages (war, regulations, welfare)
Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath. Housing, childcare, public transit. No one should be priced out of these things. These are non-negotiables, you need these to live”

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls to end mass KYC data collection, warning it puts crypto holders at risk of phishing and physical attacks.
Pierce says the current KYC/AML system creates massive databases of sensitive information that can be hacked, leaked, or exploited.
She's pushing for zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) that could verify users meet regulatory requirements without exposing their personal information.

My official prediction for the 2026 Midterms. I put a lot of thought into this, and I think it is spot on. What do you think?

KYC = Kill Your Customer
‼️ BREAKING: Revolut handed over customers’ passport copies, verification selfies and full transaction histories to a malicious actor.
The actor sent lawful government information-demand emails using a genuine government domain that passed domain authentication.
Revolut later concluded they were not authentic.
Affected customers were notified on Friday. What may have been disclosed ranges from name, date of birth and home address to account statements, withdrawal records and complete Bitcoin transaction history.
The company says it has alerted the agency to the unauthorised mailbox on its domain, blocked the address and begun notifying regulators.
It has not named the agency, explained how someone obtained a mailbox there, or given a number of affected customers.
ZachXBT, who circulated the notices, believes the incident was limited in size and aimed at high-net-worth users.

i’m sorry to inform you that zero knowledge proofs are not the solution to the KYC data leak nightmare we find ourselves in.
the solution is less KYC.
advanced cryptography for governments is a slippery slope that will only lead to a more controlled society over time.

Example #1,453,678,899 of why KYC/AML is a scourge that puts people in harms way and creates massive risks for companies.
As reported by @ZachXBT, Revolut exposed personally identifiable information (PII) of some of their customers, because they fell for a fraudulent government request and has been sending out emails to customers since yesterday, saying:
"Exposed data included:
-Copy of passport and/or driver's licence, plus the verification selfie
-Account statements, IBAN, withdrawal records, and full transaction history including Bitcoin
-Full name, date of birth, occupation
-Home address, email, phone number"
But sure, KYC is there for our protection and fighting crime..
Meanwhile, Revolut has @ZachXBT blocked on X.

i’m afraid of KYC and you should be too.
KYC is a risk to your personal safety.
collecting personal information in the age of cyber security breaches everywhere is extremely irresponsible. and it’s not going to get any better any time soon.
our laws shouldn’t require institutions to KYC, they should prevent them from doing so.
institutions that leak KYC information or fail to defend it from hackers should be punished by the law for risking their user’s safety.

Is your BIP39 passphrase strong enough? It's a hard question to answer.
My weekend project was to research the state-of-the-art in password bruteforcing and adapt it to Bitcoin passphrases, to produce an easy to use and undedstand desktop app that allows people to verify how good (or most likely how bad) their passphrase is.
It's still early, and I haven't asked anybody to review, and there are lots of nuances, but here is an exemple :
If an attacker finds your seed and your passphrase is H4l_F1Nn3Y1971$2009
with my current assumptions it would cost him $7000 to crack it
Hoping to release the source code this week because perhaps im completely wrong. I'm using zxcvbn-ts with local wordlists as a base, and anectodal evidence from coldcard hack research.
