@bjn @tante I am a silent listener only in cyptomoney today (but still reading BTC coredev). My own digital money track goes back to 1996 at KU Leuven in Belgium (Project ASPeCT with Bart Prenel). Ways seperated in 1997 : I developed my own patent at G&D for loading cash on mobile phones (https://patents.google.com/patent/WO1998048388A3/en) which somehow collided with DigiCash (David Chaum). This patent was used until 2007. I know Satoshi's vision for Bitcoin from 2008 including BTC source code.

@tante I guess this is the full version: #THEGOODPLACE

Crypto today has been built on narratives not on verifiable facts or Satoshi's vision. Just join X.com and start listening: #HODL is my favourite bullshit (buy and never sell ... OMG).

@tante Linux Foundation is joining widespread support from the payment industry for cypto. Not only Coinbase. Together with DAC8, Travel Rule, MiCA and AMDL6 there is hope for crypto transparency at least in EU. With a bit of luck crypto may leave its scammy past behind and finally become what is was meant to be in 2008. Implementing Hayek's vision of a global denationalized currency independent from central banks. That was Satoshi's idea for Bitcoin. Not "Store of Value" for Wall Street.
