I can’t imagine any gov outright banning it, not now, maybe a few years ago but there’s alot of traction now.. even with investment banks etc. What reasons do you think a government/s might ban it this year?

A sibling poster mentions when an emergency is announced that they do indeed hand it over - I do wonder though is that for USA, or all countries. I’m curious why you recommend WhatsApp use when it’s a Meta/FB asset and they calamitousl

Catering to how companies want to run their sites is not the answer. The problem about privacy is that, left in the hands of those providing websites (and advertising networks via data brokers and surveillance), nothing would improve. They

Yeah that’s fair enough, and it’s changing so fast. I imagine alot of the current problems will be fixed over time… it’ll get there eventually. There are some good educational resources cropping up now e.g. Web3 University and rabbithole.gg

Interesting. Also FTA: Crypto-related crime may be at an all-time high, but researchers note that the growth of legitimate cryptocurrency usage far outstrips the growth of criminal usage. I wonder how much scams generate globally (non crypt

I think they key is: despite regular people not wanting to RUN their own server, they do want to CONTROL their own server. Current incumbents treat your data like tier asset, not like custody. This is because you pay nothing. The beginning

I think there would be some swe that would occasionally need to go to timber mills, mines, sea ports, air ports, oil rigs , farms etc… prob to install or troubleshoot critical systems. I doubt it would be often though.
