more data on those “52 million americans” who congressional #dems think are using #crypto but actually aren’t: according to the atlanta federal reserve crypto ownership declined once again to 7.7% of adults in 2024 from its peak of 9.6% in 2022.

that 7.7% number includes people speculating on bitcoin via ETFs etc which is hardly “usage”. less than 2% of americans actually “use” crypto for anything (and a lot of that is probably just bros buying NFTs).

What if, listen to me, what if, instead, we relocated Palestinians and Gazans... directly on the Blockchain?

"The Trump administration and international partners are discussing proposals to build a 'Riviera of the Middle East' on the rubble of Gaza. One would establish U.S. control and pay Palestinians to leave."

What do you ( #fediverse ) think of a social networking done on (via) the #blockchain ?
Are there working proof of concept implementations?

Since @silverpill already working on PKI\cryptography for fediverse, blockchain seems like a next evolutionary step for social networking, since it's just distributed (cryptographic) database.

I'm sorry that I lack resources & haven't put enough effort researching #crypto, #freenet , #hyphanet . But it seems to me kinda on topic, So I want to hear from people.
Maybe I want to hear from people like @ArneBab & @silverpill
I don't know here anyone else who work on #p2p social networking.

Uhm... Tavis Ormandy works for Google, that is responsible of some of the aggressive crawlers Anubis try to block.

Whatever he writes on his blog should be read within such cultural frame.

Maybe they will soon enable #JS execution in crawlers, but if Anubis get massive adoption, #AI crawling will becomes much more expensive. Consider they will also have to avoid smarter guys trying polluting their models. So all, in all, I still think Anubis is a good idea.

Also, if they enable JS in the crawlers, I'm going to turn them into #bitcoin miners.
That might the very first use case for a #cryptocurrency since 2008!

I'm notoriously a #blockchain mocker, considering the whole technology stack as a large-scale scam-factory framework.
But getting money out of #Google, #Amazon, #Facebook and similar #BigTech might be the very first legit and useful use case for a miner since bitcoin invention.

🪤 Disguised Unemployment? 88% of Ethereum Protocols Are Not Earning Revenue vs 75% in Solana

｢ On Ethereum, 88% of its 1,271 protocols have not generated revenue in the past 30 days, while Solana sees 75% of its 264 protocols inactive.
Inactive smart contracts increase storage burdens, security risks, and economic inefficiency, hindering the overall user experience ｣

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Epstein's Arrest Shook The Blockchain

Jeffrey Epstein's arrest seems to have set off a wave of suspicious crypto payments that have heretofore gone unexamined.

1. The 2nd highest volume day in bitcoin history came a week after Epstein died.

2. #Stablecoin transfer volumes doubled less than 48 hours after Epstein was arrested. In particular #Tether, the stablecoin whose money is managed by Epstein's next door neighbor and #Trump's current Secretary of Commerce, saw on chain volumes skyrocket.

Also there's the matter of a bunch of suspicious deaths among Epstein's crypto circle.

It makes me chuckle a little that one of the biggest NFT stores on the Cardano blockchain is just called 'JPG Store'.

So many people are like "NFTs are shit. Do you not realise you're just buying an image?" and the name 'JPG Store' is just screaming "Come and buy some expensive JPGs"
