The crypto industry isn’t dead yet. In fact, it’s one of the biggest funders in this US election cycle.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to @molly0xfff to discuss what crypto boosters want from their nearly $200 million in campaign spending.

"The story used to be that Bitcoin is a protection, from the fluctuations of the stock market, from inflation, that it's a store of value, much like gold. We're really seeing that fall apart as the stock market has been more volatile and crypto prices have been right along with it. Crypto is similar to other high risk asset classes."


It’s finally time to release my newest project: https://www.followthecrypto.org/

This website provides a real-time lens into the cryptocurrency industry’s efforts to influence 2024 elections in the United States.

A screenshot of the front page of FollowTheCrypto.org, showing total amounts raised by crypto-currency focused PACs ($203 million) and amounts spent ($38 million). There are also graphs showing expenditures by political party, and expenditures by PAC. There is a list of the top elections influenced by crypto industry money, of the most highly-funded super PACs overall, and of recent expenditures by crypto-focused committees.

I am still waiting for my application for caretaker's social support accepted. I take full-time care of my wife (wheelchair, cerebral palsy) and I hope that - after several appeals and re-appeals (due to unfriendly legislation and even less friendly praxis) - I will get it approved. ETA: 3-6 months.

Meanwhile, I have no income, cannot even work (for money) remotely, as the authorities routinely use odd jobs as an argument (you can work, you do not need social support) to reject such applications.

So, I kindly ask you to support me with some crypto, so I can survive until - hopefully - happy ending.

Here is the regular link to AnonPay service. And here is the Onion link as well.

Bumps, boosts and shares will be appreciated.

Was just asked by a friend if I wanted a #BlueSky invite.

My reply?

“Thanks but no thanks.”

Why?

Because I don’t need to see the app. I know the people behind it and what they stand for. The app can only ever be a manifestation of (or an initial misdirection from) that.

Expecting the wolf that took a bite out of you last time to this time act in your interests is how you end up as its dinner.

"The Danger Of Privacy At All Costs"

People have to make a decision. You can only choose one.

Do you want freedom / human autonomy?

Or do you want pretend safety?

Ben Franklin quote:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Thomas Jefferson: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"

I'm unable to locate the settings in #Rebased#Soapbox to add new #crypto coins and associated #explorer to the existing list. Couldn't find any documentation either. What's the best way to modify and add to the current list? @alex@gleasonator.com
