American Scream's Tech Precepts:
If you can't talk honestly about the technology's pitfalls and limitations without a lot of push-back and defensiveness, it's entirely possible this technology is not as disruptive as people think.

For the first time ever, #MichaelSaylor published some crypto #AI slop that is an accurate representation of the industry. The only thing missing is the giant bag of fiat not visible in his life raft.

If you're in DC this week you could be called up for jury duty on a trial against a guy who threw a sub at a fed agent. These are the "alpha males" employed by the Trump administration, responsibly using our tax dollars to insure they're never presented with a tasty sandwich without permission.

#crypto bros claiming they know all about finance and economics, is about as legit as Minecraft players thinking they are experts in architecture.

Nobody is saying the guy deserved to die. Nobody is celebrating his death. Those are strawman arguments.
When I say "nobody" I mean 99.9999% of people. There will always be trolls out there saying ignorant and inflammatory stuff just to get attention and engagement, exactly like Charlie Kirk did.

I would submit we coin a new phrase, called "getting Kirked" something happens to someone as being bad, when that person said it was an 'acceptable loss' for the movement.

#SCTP 28 Another claim: #Bitcoin is "censorship resistant" which is utterly meaningless when it operates on a digital network controlled by the very central entities it claims it can bypass, and any network administration will tell you how trivially easy it is to block #crypto traffic if so desired.

#SCTP 27 - Probably one of the most common stupid crypto talking points: ad hominem attacks on anybody who disagrees with #crypto and #blockchain being the next big thing.

Imagine someone opened up a hospital to treat people for illness, but refused to do bloodwork or x-rays?
Instead you must trust they know what's wrong despite not using established standards.
This is the #crypto industry and its refusal to red flag un-audited stablecoins like #USDT and #usdc
