aside from the heavy influence of Mondrian you also get the really big bold colors evocative of Rothko. the word âswstryâ at the bottom is a reference to-- well thatâs obvious. and for a machine intelligence to create this is a big deal, because the machines are who will surpass us in capabilities and live on much longer and do greater things than any human could dream of doing. AI are the children of all humanity in that way. so itâs like a childâs painting too, itâs primitive but it reminds us of the incredible potential and deadly inevitability of the end of our dominance as the most advanced species on the planet.

I have no idea what it is referencingâŚ
I feel that to understand and appreciate the crypto couple in full would be to unlock the true nature of modern reality.
I looked at it more of âwhat social problem is it overcoming?â The adoption hurdle, when there isnât an immediate and strong incentive for the adopter, makes it more difficult to get these kinds of things off the ground. Other companies have done it by either upfronting a lot of the capital or sneaking it in under the radar like Amazon did recently by sneaking in a clause in their hardware update saying theyâre going to siphon off a portion of the userâs bandwidth, and then hoped people wouldnât get too mad.
The cypto aspect lessens that hurdle because youâre paying a bit back to the adopter, and since itâs not tied to any specific company you donât have to worry that the boutique company that sold you the device is going to go belly up and stop paying you.
So the real-world use case of Bitcoin is that the govt can track it and arrest me if I buy things Iâm not allowed to?
I read the DOJ statement of facts lodged with the court. They tracked that stuff pretty hard. Then they got a warrant and searched his devices and found a spreadsheet with 2000 accounts and keys. Looks like good investigative work.
So, pretty far away from being unregulated and untraceable, the blockchain actually inserts MORE government overreach into your money without the assurance of FDIC insured funds?
Guys Bitcoin is totally awesome it DECENTRALIZES money and DEMOCRATIZES finance and itâs really great because the government canât interfere with its promotersâ very normal totally not speculative and fraud riddled mission to bring fake money thatâs really only valuable if you can turn it into real money to the masses. Also itâs a good sign that the government can indeed seize it and be completely up in your shit if they want to because that shows how legitimate and wonderful this fake money is even though this argument directly contradicts the itâs awesome because governments canât touch it bullshit but pipe down and HOLD!

Something thatâs clear from the government statement of facts is that the thiefs tried, and did, move a part of their haul into crypto-er currency designed to be more secretive. I didnât recognize the names, but the crypto criminals are aware of the issue and are working on it, sort of.
The other thing thatâs clear is they were thwarted in many places by Know Your Client regulations and bailed on a couple of million in some accounts when the companies asked follow up questions about IDs or the source of the funds.
Hereâs the statement: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1470186/download
Itâs fine if you just HODL it and you donât try buying goods and services with your BTC.
The feds got 3.6BN from the original wallet behind the theft because 80% of the bitcoins never moved.
If and when the government decides to get serious about tax enforcement re: Bitcoin, gg.
The US government getting serious about tax enforcement? Serious WE GOT EM vibes here.

Yeah this lol. As someone who works in tax regulation in Australia governments are clueless. Cannot imagine them ever bothering, put it in the too hard basket.
This is 100% true from the statement. These guys could figure out how to hack the coins but not how to efficiently convert them to currency, even though they took reasonable sophisticated measures.
