Ian Grigg talks solving blockchain regulation hurdles
Regulators have been turning to banks and exchanges for advice, and the interests of these two groups are at odds with the retail traders, HoverTrusts founder Ian Grigg tells CoinGeek Backstage.
Entonces, ¿en serio, @iang_fc...?
Los 1.600 millones de dólares aprobados por la Cámara no son para difundir desinformación, sino para contrarrestar la influencia maligna de regímenes como China y Rusia, que participan activamente en la desinformación para subvertir los procesos democráticos a nivel mundial. La financiación está destinada a apoyar a los medios de comunicación independientes, a la sociedad civil y a los esfuerzos que promueven la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas, fomentando entornos en los que la verdad y los valores democráticos puedan florecer, no socavarlos.
Comparar esta iniciativa estadounidense con los presupuestos de propaganda de China o Rusia ignora una distinción fundamental: Estados Unidos promueve sociedades abiertas y una gobernanza transparente, mientras que estos regímenes autoritarios utilizan la desinformación para desestabilizar y controlar las narrativas para su beneficio geopolítico. La Iniciativa del Cinturón y la Ruta de la Seda de China, por ejemplo, ha estado vinculada a prácticas económicas coercitivas y manipulación de la información, mientras que las campañas de desinformación rusas están bien documentadas por su interferencia en las elecciones y por sembrar discordia en los países democráticos.
Al equiparar estos esfuerzos, se está cometiendo una falacia de equivalencia falsa, al tratar los esfuerzos para reforzar la democracia y la libertad de expresión como si fueran idénticos a las tácticas de desinformación autoritarias. Estados Unidos no está financiando la propaganda encubierta, sino que se está defendiendo de ella, garantizando que las voces de las sociedades civiles de todo el mundo puedan hablar libremente sin ser ahogadas por la influencia autoritaria.

@iang_fc So, really @iang_fc...?
The $1.6 billion passed by the House isn’t for spreading disinformation but for countering the malign influence of regimes like China and Russia, which actively engage in disinformation to subvert democratic processes globally.…

Flower Power
No matter the ultimate folly of the meme, there is a message delivered in flowers.
Flowers are the ultimate gift, as they die, they expire, they are therefore the expenditure of value which will never be returned as investment. They are not the financial system, the money, the tax, the obligation, the law. I say to you that this beautiful thing does not need to be returned, nor can it, as it will be dead in a week! It is my gift to you.
For you to appreciate to the end of time.
Flowers were the symbol of the 1970s hippie era which was strongly related to the Vietnam War. Resistance was strong, and flowers were used to fight guns. The flower in the barrel was a symbol of our boomer elders. Did it work? It didn’t hurt. The flower played its part in stopping the Vietnam war by stripping the political classes of any sense of support. We the people of the West fought your bombs with our flowers. Flowers for peace, flowers on the grave of our fallen soldiers, nobody can argue with flowers.
The proposition of the Vienna flower project was to see flowers for appreciation. This meant, if you had pressed flowers, you had to give them away. There was a sort of rule - you could not have 7 flowers, if you reached that you had to rush out and pay your favours. They weren’t for hoarding, they were for expressing.
Did it work? Not as a currency. But as a project to get everyone involved, yes, absolutely. It was somewhat legendary in the Vienna art scene. Everyone loved it, it was an expression of production, together, of working to create something.
Many years later, I recall the mangled Russian tank that was proudly displayed in Germany, as a symbol of the righteous war in Ukraine. The people of Germany laid flowers on the tank, in remembrance of the Russian crew that died that day. There is no pride in war, no right, no logic. Today we’re righteously killing our enemy, tomorrow they’re righteously killing us. I hope they lay flowers on my tank.
Can the flower stop a war? I don’t know, but it can’t hurt. Send your flowers to your congresspersons, your MPs, your MEPs. You don’t need to say anything, or send a message. A flower says it all, they’re all involved in enough wars that somehow, the flower has to get through to them. Stop that war, we don’t want it!
Go to senate hearings, lay flowers. Attend Trump’s cavalcade, throw flowers. Visit the New York Times, leave them flowers. Does the Pentagon have enough flowers? Help them.
And the Allies! Surely Scholz needs more flowers. Perhaps Annalena needs more flowers in her life? I know Penny Wong could do with some. Macron is a dude who seems lifeless and desperate, how to inspire him? Flowers! And that unsmiling Victoria Nuland could definitely be cheered up if she had some flowers, if she didn’t feel the need to hand out cookies for coups.
The message of Peace - the message of not interfering with other countries, not killing their people, not telling them to adopt our democracy until they bend the knee - is the message of our generation. We can do this, or we can disappear. How?
Messages of such subtlety need memes. The Flower doesn’t need a label. It doesn’t need a QR code. Nor a manifesto nor a blog post nor a tweet. It just needs a delivery. Send flowers, send peace. Spend flowers, buy peace. Make flowers, build peace.
