Was this created with claude design? it looks very similar to something it mocked for me last week
ZK proofs are the solution to this problem. Its a pity this tech is not taken more seriously. I recently used a product that required proof of country (or rather proof of not from certain countries). It was a very painless experience with https://zkpassport.id/

Using your phone feels strange too
Every study under the sun shows drug criminalization causes more public health issues than it solves. It should be treated as a public health issue rather than a criminal issue. Portugal is a fantastic case study of how this succeeded.
thats a bit of a stretch
You can offer censorship to users who want it, everything stays up but some people dont see it

>collapse of civil and political life

civil and political life is terrible and still better than it has ever been

What i find especially intriguing is the certainty some people on this forum have of crypto going to zero. The same certainty they had 2, 5 and 10 years ago. Yet here we are. At what stage do they start questioning the strength of their certainty.

"for allegedly listing unregistered securities"

Andre is pretty much hated now. He created a shit ton of useless tokens in 2020 and 2021, made multiple millions off them, disappeared, and now has come back to preach to word of regulation to prevent others doing what he got away it.

These are the type of questions that need to be presented to the public. This type of attack on encryption hasnt changed in 30 years, except now governments are going hard on the CSAM aspect as opposed to the other 3 horsemen[1].
