"Poilievre, 45, failed to retain his seat in the Ontario district of Carleton, losing it to Liberal Bruce Fanjoy.
The Liberal Party's victory means Prime Minister Mark Carney, former head of the central Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, will lead a minority government."

Right. So my answer to this question is no.
"First, if you, an unbiased person, take a look at the above graphic by Elliptic, do you come to the conclusion that "unhosted wallets" are what enable cartels to launder money through cryptocurrencies? "
The mules get the money into the existing financial system. There are tons of ways to do this that have nothing to do with cryptocurrencies. That's why KYC/AML is a waste of resources.

How do they get paper USD into the bank in the first place? There must be something missing from this graphic. They probably take the money to a casino or buy gold and cash out chips/gold for fiat.
The "money laundering" happens in the red circle. The rest is just transportation of already money that's already been laundered.

Have you listened to the latest Common Sense with Dan Carlin Lyn? Carlin was the first person I ever sent bitcoin to and he's been talking about civil liberties being stripped away for 30 years. He calls this his bias.
He read a letter from Abraham Lincoln to William H. Herndon, 15 February 1848. It's a powerful letter and I've been thinking about it in the context of the new administration ever sense. Trump is taking the opposite side of the first Republican president on this issue. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.
"Dear William:
Your letter of the 29th January was received last night- Being exclusively a constitutional argument, I wish to submit some reflections upon it in the same spirit of kindness that I know actuates you– Let me first state what I understand to be your position– It is, that if it shall become necessary, to repel invasion, the President may, without violation of the constitution, cross the line, and invade the teritory of another country; and that whether such necessity exists in any given case, the President is to be the sole judge–
Before going further, consider well whether this is, or is not your position– If it is, it is a position that neither the President himself, nor any friend of his, so far as I know, has ever taken– Their only positions are first, that the soil was ours where hostilities commenced, and second, that whether it was rightfully ours or not, Congress had annexed it, and the President, for that reason was bound to defend it, both of which are as clearly proved to be false in fact, as you can prove that your house is not mine. That soil was not ours; and Congress did not annex or attempt to
(Page 2)
annex it– But to return to your position: Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, is to and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose– and you allow him to make war at pleasure– Study to see if you can fix any limit to his power in this respect, after you have given him so much as you propose– If, to-day, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, "I see no probability of the British invading us" but he will say to you "be silent; I see it, if you dont"–
The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress, was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons—Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object– This, our convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us– But your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where Kings have always stood. Write soon again–
Yours truly,
A Lincoln"

Most socialists make little money and people who don't have savings tend to have a high time-preference. I have never made much money income-wise(I just use better money and don't buy much), so I have empathy for these people, but socialism is never the utopia people claim it is.
People with lower incomes and a high time-preference tend to buy cheap carbs at fast food restaurants that accept CBD-Food Stamps, destroy their health, and drive up health insurance costs. Then the money breaks, people get pissed and we go through a fourth-turning(rinse and repeat).

I once asked someone I met on the orange pill app about the difference between Ayn Rand's Objectivism and Mises theory that all value is subjective.
He gave me a great answer. He said Mises essentially meant the same thing.
Reality, say my full node, is objective. My interpretation of that reality is subjective. We see bitcoin as a ledger verified by math and think our truth machine is undervalued, at least I do, but peoplenon nostr tend to agree. 😃
A lot of people tell me they "don't trust bitcoin." That's also subjctive, but it's based on an epistimology of feelings rather than logic(math).
Value, therefore, is a subjective interpretation of an objective reality. People who tend to judge objective reality with "feels" tend to be poor because they have a high time-preference and buy french fries on credit. People who use logic as an epistemic guide tend to buy assets.
It kind of is all in your head. A red baloon is red, but not everyone can see red.

The easiest way to accept #bitcoin price volotility was written over 2,000 years ago.
In 2016, I dressed like a homeless man and bought lunch with change from my closet at a grocery store.
I'll never forget the look of disdain on the cashier's face as I handed him my pennies. That was the worst part, but it wasn't that bad. The rest of being homeless is camping and a few sideways looks are not so bad.
Swings don't even phase me anymore. 75k bitcoin or 95k bitcoin doesn't make much difference to my emotional state anymore.

Peer Tube is like a foss YouTube. Jellyfin is a media server like a personal Netflix. There are some new p2p networking options like holesail I want to try, but it's very early and I'm not exactly sure how it works.
Primal is probably easiest for now, but I like the idea of hosting a p2p backup. Keet is very easy. I think that's the best option, especially if you have a following because the mlre peers yiunhave the better. It's just not open source yet.
I guess I don't have a great answer yet.

Your boost-rate was extraordinary. I always wondered how you had so much time to listen.
I once worked at a warehouse after being unemployed fkr a while. That mindless work allowed me to listen to audiobooks and podcasts 40-50 hours per week. I learned a ton in that 6 month time frame. There were very few bitcoin podcasts and books back then, but I listened to a few episodes about it on EconTalk and Joe Rogan. That's what sent me down the rabbit hole. There comes a point in time where you feel this need apply all this knowledge yourself. At least, thar's how I felt.
Good luck sir.

"If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to. "

It's a rough draft. I need to clean up the typos, but I'll let you know when I publish it.

Yeah. Check out https://npub.pro
I created a page, but I already host it on Start9. I'm not sure if it has integrations yet. It's been a while since I looked at the repositoey.

I left Substack for Ghost because I added a Zap Button that allows anyone to zap me from my self-hosted Ghost Blog.
#nostr can be integrated into everything,.

They don't want to end the Cantillon Effect.
They want to vote themselves the new beneficiaries of the Cantillon Effect.

It posted to nostr, but not ghost. I think it's because I don't know what the id is.

It posted to nostr, but not my ghost instance. I think it's because I didn't add the ID with the API. I don't know how to get the ID.

I decided I should host my own #blog on #Ghost and cross post to nostr until I can automate it.
Substack is cool, but I want to write for sats so I decided to use Ghost + #nostr to create sat-based subscription buttons on Ghost using HTML5.
I basically vibe coded some buttons and added them to the Ghost instance I run on nostr:nprofile1q9z8wue69uhnvmr9dp58jernwf6xsct8d45hxdn4w5m8gatrdej8v7nhxa3h2cnsw94ksanc09unw6n0d9hkxdp4d44hxu35v4skgtn0de5k7m30qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzq44xkafh8j8hhy79809wsmv0lw46nu4pkwqjyp20ekml80mytde8phfu08

I also put the HTML on GitHub in the hopes that more people accept bitcoin on their blog.

I've been thinking about this for several days. Sean's right. I should be on Ghost because it's free and open source, I run it on a Start9 and I can integrate bitcoin payments into it.

I think they call using US fiat bucks as a unit of account BTC Yeild, but I'm not 100% sure.
