hmm anyone able to evaluate this? https://t.co/Hipoxaw8kN
The large number of forces Russia shifted from its Eastern Military District (12 BTGs+) to Belarus is illustrative of the degree of vulnerability Moscow is comfortable with China. The Russian Far East has probably not been stripped of combat power like this in decades. /1
@eigenrobot That appears to be just an elaborate way to describe what military operations already do to stay semi-autonomous. https://t.co/ZT95AL1Xdb
@eigenrobot Interesting to think that its just a form of state backed paper script.Imagine having a pog with a cryptographic ID embedded in it. Probably that.https://t.co/3FlU4konub
@eigenrobot Presumably that is the same thing talked about here https://t.co/M9coEo0Pbp which is a "digital currency" (but not a 'cr*pt*').
@eigenrobot china has one https://t.co/imG1K5qoFS too and the US is probably not far behind. https://t.co/IuuhiDVISpIIRC china's option included a paper form, so presumably we'll see similar here.
@eigenrobot I think this is being framed in military language because of the current strife, but its not new at all by any means. The idea of a centrally controlled national digital scrip that can be remotely de-authed has been a long time in the works.
@eigenrobot "Russia has argued for years against cryptocurrencies, saying they could be used in money laundering or to finance terrorism."https://t.co/Kf6SWyqGMvIt's all about framing.
@eigenrobot It's happening everywhere.https://t.co/raNY3sn0KA

@eigenrobot Gonna be fun watching this play out. https://t.co/VlKFOHKASUThe stage is being set.https://t.co/Sx6ABVcS5e https://t.co/NMyDFHNGeN
"In the long term, the card infrastructure should be converted into a permanent, Treasury-administered digital public currency wallet system, to serve as a privacy-respecting âeCashâ complement to universal Fed Accounts and/or Postal Bank Accounts for All"https://t.co/tPQSuEyneo
@eigenrobot I don't have any way to prove who I am anymore.https://t.co/JwwcQqxlmv
@eigenrobot I smell blood.https://t.co/Yq0n969w57
The truckers didnât have a way to win. But the Canadian state found 3 ways to lose. First, they couldnât censor social, so they lost the narrative. Second, they went after the money because they lost hard power. Third, they donât control hard money, so theyâll lose there too.
@eigenrobot Watching.https://t.co/SXfdDjwiZg
@eigenrobot I was 14.https://t.co/b8YfFLfr5x
@eigenrobot Have you now or ever been associated with a terrorist? https://t.co/WgSjScIkwC

@eigenrobot I just spent like 3 months of my life trying to get a bank account going b/c of asinine regulations that are meant to stop terrorists, and am not looking forward to jumping thru the hoops to prove my legitimate grant to solve a long-covid problem is real.Boot to face, forever.

@eigenrobot Slow, then quick.> Biden Administration seeks China-style CBDCs, warns US Congressman [May 22, 2024] https://t.co/qXAVkIR3O7
It's just preventing the Feds from owning the CBDC. It's a power play.> "In a speech to the House of Representatives, Emmer expressed concern that the administration is âitching to trade Americansâ right to privacy for a CCP-style surveillance tool.âhttps://t.co/1hCcOXxLFg
@eigenrobot Have you now or ever been involved with terrorist money laundering (euphemism: crypto)?https://t.co/esU6D247Gk
Ever worry about your government forcing banking institutions to unilaterally limit access to the ability to eat because they don't like a whistle-blower / dissident. Can you imagine this happening to shut down a journalist who writes against the regime?https://t.co/Uz88Z8mc6D
@eigenrobot Maybe you have your genes leaked because a family member opened up their 23andMe profile, like me? https://t.co/JZ7A6EQ3hR
@eigenrobot Are you worried about your identity like me?https://t.co/RZViQg1u9B
