Initializing a new project - Interplanetary Markdown. Might explore a #Web3 (off-chain) approach later for a better experience, but for now, keeping it simple with good old #OpenPGP.
A censorship-resistant #Markdown publishing platform, enabling seamless content distribution. Powered by the Interplanetary File System (#IPFS), ensuring #blogs, #articles, and other written content remain accessible and verifiable across the distributed web.
“The Silent Takeover” explores how Web3 and our online freedoms are systematically dismantled. Decentralization isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. Stay informed, stay resistant.
Senator #KirstenGillibrand (D-NY) is basically a wholly owned subsidiary of #Coinbase, #a16z, and the rest of the US crypto industry (as this Op-Ed in CoinDesk makes abundantly clear).
Unfortunately she never got the memo about how the preferred nomenclature is now “#tokenization” and “RWAs” because “#Web3” just makes people think of monkey JPGs / #NFTs.
What’s really happening here is that Circle / Coinbase are trying to get the US Government to legislate #Tether out of their market. While I support this goal I don’t think legitimizing Circle’s #USDC - who are, if anything, worse about compliance than Tether - is good policy.

#CryptoBros trying to co-opt things is the most #capitalist bullshit ever.
There's nothing that #web3 can't solve, and in effect, it will save you from those evil #tech oligarchs by instead replacing their quick and nimble cloud infrastructure with a slow and cumbersome gambling network that could - in theory - at some point be as effective, as long as everyone has dark fiber, 256GB of memory, 512TB of SSD storage and 8x dGPU's...
Y'know, just be rich - and you too can avoid the #oligarchy...

Foreign investors are buying pieces of rental homes for $50. What could possibly go wrong?
For tenants? Everything. Ignored repairs, unresponsive management, eviction letters, you name it.
And yes, it’s happening here in Detroit.
