Crypto Advertising Strategy: How To Target Crypto Users Through Ads

Edward Snowden on the anonymity of cryptocurrencies

Edward Snowden, a former CIA and National Security Agency analyst, has addressed the Bitcoin Conference in Amsterdam.

Snowden fundamentally took the position of the crypto enthusiast, advocating the freedom of crypto business. Since he is intimately familiar with digital surveillance and control technologies, his opinion is that of a professional.

First, and in my opinion, the most important thing is his valuation of Bitcoin as an asset with no anonymity. It’s a bit sudden, isn’t it? Now, a CIA analyst claims that Bitcoin anonymity no longer exists today, that governments and intelligence agencies can uniquely identify crypto wallet users.

The second statement is a consequence of the first. Snowden encouraged developers to focus on increasing Bitcoin anonymity, as privacy was one of the pillars on which Nakomoto’s work was based.

In this regard, the position of the American regulator looks interesting. Recall that the head of the SEC Gary Gensler fundamentally singled out Bitcoin among other cryptocurrencies. According to Gensler, Bitcoin is the only full-fledged cryptocurrency, and all the rest are securities or investment contracts.

There is a certain logic in this judgment: Bitcoin is already under control. Both the transactions and their participants, who habitually believe that they have hidden behind the blockchain, are controlled. Bitcoin ETF, which actively promoted by grands if the fiat economies like the BlackRock investment fund, will only strengthen the level of control.

Another thing is that Bitcoin anonymity is directly related to the overall security of IT systems. Today, states and intelligence agencies have the technical ability to look at almost any computer, except for a few specially protected. So, unfortunately, the world that Nakamoto intended to build, is still a long way from us.

So "charitable" donations from billionaires were BS all along? Economics rant incoming.

I've been looking up how to set up a charity trust, like the kind hella rich people use, because I've got this dream of buying land someday and turning it into a public park / food forest that stays public and has maintenance and taxes covered?

But hoooooly shit, just reading up on the kinda of charitable trusts you can set up??? Insane. The #1 person benefitting from that "charity" is the person who donated. It's legal tax evasion, a way to hold investments without paying taxes on them, and get payouts for yourself for a long ass time before a charity ever sees a dime.

Like literally I think I figured out how someone could take a million bucks, put it in one of these tax sheltered trusts, invest and pay themselves 3 million bucks over 40 years, and only leave 200k of it to charity? While still following the letter of the law. No, even better, donating twice as much money to charity as the law requires, far sooner than it actually requires. I'm never again reading an article like "billionaire donates millions to charity" the same way again. ("Billionaire legally turns millions into more millions for himself and his family, who will have to give a few hundred thousand dollars to charity after he and his kids die?")

Like giving money to "charity" through these trusts? Well, that means a way of investing some of your money while avoiding paying income or capitol gains taxes, and every year getting a payout (like up to 50% of the assets in the trust, re-assessed annually as they grow - and 50% is more than most investors would choose to withdraw annually anyway? So it's really just a tax sheltered investment.) (Not even getting into the fact that art is one of the investments you can have, and art valuation is verrry subjective? So you get an art assessor saying the art you bought at 1million is now worth 5million? Okayyy)

So.... If you put money in, and invest it in stocks? Or more cynically, apartment buildings? You can have tax-free paychecks TO YOURSELF, as your investment grows and you can take money out of that investment till you die. Then, if the date you chose to give the leftover money to charity hasn't happened yet? Your kids (or other beneficiaries) get that paycheck.

Like holy shit. When you see billionaires donating lots of money to charity? They could (and probably are) donating it to their damn selves, and kids, while legally evading taxes. It ain't selfless, it's a fuckin moneymaker for THEM.

Now I really get this saying i heard from a corporate accountant I went out with - "a good tax lawyer will ask you how much you want to pay in taxes" ... And what the fuck. Didn't realize how goddamn literal that was.

(Also fun fact I learned from her - most tax laws on the books were lobbied for by a single corporation to give themselves a tax loophole above other companies, and after it becomes law, it has the strange effect of other companies mimicking the financial model of the first, once they catch on, to exploit the same loophole. So there's a huge incentive to make tax laws as confusing as possible - so the competitor businesses don't catch on to the lobbyist businesses secret loophole. And taxes won't get easier or fairer without legislation against corporate political lobbying)

Like even the kinds of tax-sheltered investments that "normal people" know about like IRAs and 401ks are just the tip of the iceberg when you think about how, the more money you have, the less taxes apply to you. Not to mention the whole way the idea of "investment" is really just another word for skimming the profits off another person's labor.

I'd always heard people cynically say that billionaires only donate for the tax deduction, but I thought it meant "don't pay taxes, and give the money to charity" not "don't pay taxes, and invest the money, and make money for yourself and your children tax free"

anyway I don't think I'm gonna make a trust, gonna just keep on giving the food not bombs crew cash because they actually do something with it?

(also if any of y'all nerds think I'm misunderstanding shit, I might be? I'm very much not an economics nerd, just trying to learn and getting p cynical about what I find)

Twitter84

I usually make art many months ahead of time, this one I made late in 2022. This is why I avoid art that comments on recent events since it ages it too fast. I almost just didn't post this one at all but instead I'm posting it since it feels absurd how at this point I'd probably prefer Twitter84 to the real one.

Decentralization Concerns and Market Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Ethereum's Ecosystem and Price Trends

Many individuals within the cryptocurrency community prefer liquid staking platforms like Lido over centralized ones. Lidos approach has been to involve a number of node operators to prevent any single group from having excessive control over staked ETH, which helps address concerns about centralization. However the risk of centralization still remains. If a dominant group of liquidity providers or node operators were to emerge it could create a vulnerability. Even establish a monopoly that goes against the broader interests of the Ethereum community. Following the Merge and Shanghai updates Ethereum, the worlds most prominent cryptocurrency has experienced an increase in centralization. JPMorgan has expressed concerns about declining staking returns. Another important aspect mentioned in their report is rehypothecation. This
