At the same time that the EU is not only preventing people from trying new things but also preventing them from even thinking about trying, SpaceX is capturing massive rockets with "chopstick grips". .. While the EU is stuck in an ocean of meaningless bureaucratic details, Musk is engaged in a process of constant testing and improvement, reminiscent of the natural course of decentralised systems... The EU is facing "existential challenges", but neither the Draghi report nor the Commission's Compass will be enough to solve these challenges.

🇪🇺 In The European Union today: - The censorship framework DSA violates the legitimacy of democracies (consent of the governed) - DSA also undermines the notion of "informed consent" - Chat Control 2 will violate the right to private & family life, home and correspondence - The ongoing war on cash (decashing) undermines both property rights & freedom of contract - CBDCs - ECB apparently looks for an October launch - will further undermine freedoms, as it will exterminate the freedom to transact - Without the freedom to transact, freedom of assembly, speech and of religion is undermined But do, pray tell, regale me with more examples of how the vapid bureaucracy and its European Democracy Shield is "protecting our democracy, upholding our values"...

(or worse?) - Is the current model of centralisation, corporate giants, and profit maximisation really compatible with our best interests? New piece out! #nostr #bitcoin View Article →
