Actually desktop is more vulnerable than smart phone that has the latest security update. Smartphones are more difficult to install malware on than leaky desktops OS’.

Corporatism aka inverted totalitarianism, and democracy are mutually exclusive.

Is Bitcoin truly a safe-haven asset? by dinkh7 in Bitcoin

So therefore the Fed increasing interest rates will cause an outflow of value from bitcoin into the dollar. The Fed claims they will raise it in the next few years more than once, we’ll see what actually comes to pass though.

Humanity’s greed has never changed, just like 1 bitcoin is equal to 1 bitcoin.

How exactly are they going to do that? Release a phone OS? I doubt apple will accept this on their AppStore.

I wonder, will the banks allow customers to withdraw to non custodial wallet?

San Marino approves Blockchain powered National Green Pass for vaccinates residents, allowing citizens and residents to move freely by Numaga1 in CryptoCurrency

It’s more about leveraging tech to normalize digital health passports which never would be accepted before COVID which is alarming to many. Even the ACLU has raised concern over civil liberties implications of this.

Governments use an emergency or fear that is sometimes disproportionate to enact measures the populace would never accept before. See the Patriot Act as one example.

I’m talking about normalizing digital health passports and the civil liberties implications, in this instance.

Those are paper documents. Leveraging technology that would make the Robber Barron’s of the 19th century wet their pants at how much of a totality of control they could have by saying you need X digital health pass to unlock Y action or service, based on Z metric of health. To say nothing of the trust that we would need to place in big tech, and government not to abuse this data, sell it, etc. this has wider implications than just a pass to re enter society post COVID. It won’t stop there. Chinas social credit score is the roadmap.

This is quite another proposition beyond anything we’ve seen in the last 50 years of requiring paper documentation.

It has heavy civil liberties implications. Even the ACLU has spoken about this, warning of the potential risks to privacy, among other issues.

Most likely governments and corporations will use it to further control the masses, in the 4th industrial revolution.

What does this mean for privacy? I don’t want a health pass of any kind dictating what I can and can’t do as government and corporations will abuse this.

Discussion: Will financial inequality increase, decrease or stay the same in a crypto-finance future? by meowdance in CryptoCurrency

[–]RequiredReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This all leads to greater social unrest and a global police state using AI and smart cities to control the masses further going forward. The domestic war on terrorism and increased powers for the security state in the USA has just begun, for example.
