California Department of Motor Vehicles partners with Avalanche and puts 42 million car titles on blockchain to fight fraud. Digitising car titles will reduce the need for in-person DMV visits and the blockchain technology will also function as a deterrent against lien fraud. Blockchain technology can help detect lien fraud by creating a transparent and unalterable record of property ownership, making it difficult for fraudulent activity to go unnoticed. "So the first step was creating the 42 million titles associated as a token on the Avalanche blockchain, that's what the State of California DMV has already done and now what they're doing is they're creating a wallet where you download on your phone," said John Wu, president of Ava Labs. Probably nothing... #blockchain

WHO, WEF and people with similar orientation think that they are carrying out the agenda of 'global depopulation'. This is not the first time that depopulation agenda is playing out. It happened - under Genghis Khan, during barbaric Muslim invasions on India, Bengal famine under British, World War I&II, in USSR under Stalin, in China under Mao, but not fully by Sanjay Gandhi in India. The current depopulation agenda is definitely the first in modern history on a global level and that too under the disguise of 'benefit to humanity'. But you will be surprised, if I tell that the current depopulation play is not the first and it is just like a drop in the ocean when compared to what happened in mythological time under Bhandasura. Bhandasura carried out depopulation agenda not on global level but intergalactic level. Not just human race, animals, or devas, but all forms of life in many planes of existence other than Rakshas suffered depopulation. Devas under the guidance of Lord Shambhu performed a great yagna for the manifestation of Sri Lalita Tripura Mahasundari (Sri Mata). Only after Sri Mata killed Bhandasura...life returned to normalcy and depopulation stopped. While we should take all actions within our control to fail the current depopulation agenda - success will come only if we do these actions with an attitude of surrender to God.

Bittensor TAO is probably the most interesting thing in BOTH crypto and AI afoot right now. The coin nearly doubled in value last week: Bitcoin economics + open AI subnetworks = 'actual' OpenAI -- the 'Linux' of the space. Now ReadyAI -- a subnet -- is attacking Scale.AI and making dents already. I'll be interviewing the CEO on Hash Rate next week.

Why does Sam Altman need his own cryptocurrency, and what does the retina have to do with it? Sam Altman's crypto project, World, has unveiled a futuristic device, Orb: it confirms that there is a person in front of it using the retina. Such a CAPTCHA in the physical world may become relevant in the near future, the developers believe. 👀 How does the project work? People registered in the system receive a World ID, which they can use to “securely and anonymously” confirm their humanity online, as well as a share of the associated WLD cryptocurrency token. The developers plan to reach as many people as possible. To do this, they have released an updated version of the Orb retina scanner, which has not only become cheaper, but can now be ordered quickly and conveniently - “like pizza at home”. 📸 What's inside Orb? The company claims that Orb is a secure and anonymous device that allows World ID owners to confirm their identity. Orb uses a camera to scan a person's eyes, determine their status, and send all the information to the user's phone. Nothing is stored on the device itself. 📈 How many users are there already? World reports that the company has verified almost 7 million "unique people" to date. However, there are concerns about such a global database in a number of countries. For example, in Spain, Portugal, and Kenya, World has ceased operations due to the lack of transparency in the collection and storage of biometric data. 💸 What does cryptocurrency have to do with it? The creators of World believe that identity verification will make the cryptocurrency market, which is currently dominated by robots managing trades, fairer. The human factor and money belonging to World users will be able to make the cryptocurrency trading process more balanced, and the availability of Orb will expand the number of trading participants. The ultimate goal is the entire world owning crypto assets.

How tech bros bought ‘America’s most pro-crypto Congress ever’ Trump trade boosts crypto‘ Most pro-crypto Congress ever’ “Welcome to America’s most pro-crypto Congress ever” Key Points ·        Crypto execs, investors and evangelists saw the election as existential to an industry that spent the past four years simultaneously trying to grow up while being repeatedly beaten down.  ·        In total, crypto-related PACs and other groups tied to the industry reeled in over $245 million, according to Federal Election Commission data. ·        Nearly 300 pro-crypto lawmakers will take seats in the House and Senate, according to Stand With Crypto, giving the sector unprecedented influence over the legislative agenda. Prior to announcing his Senate candidacy in April 2023, Bernie Moreno was a political no name. A former car salesman in the Cleveland area, his only prior experience in politics was a losing bid for Ohio’s other Senate seat in 2022. Moreno has since accomplished the once unthinkable.

Elon Musk is concerned about the centralization of Bitcoin. But he fails to realize that Bitcoin's biggest problem is NOT that it is centralized at mining, but it is secretly centralized at a human Core, which is controlled by a handful of human agents who ideologically and economically represent certain powers behind the scenes. This is why Satoshi wanted Bitcoin's base protocol to be locked. Satoshi understood Bitcoin as a system comprehensively, including computing, economics, and law. But BTC chose to do the opposite, which was both a reason and a consequence of Satoshi's exit from BTC (a critical part of history you should investigate more). The way Musk talks about centralization or decentralization shows that, like most others, he fundamentally misunderstands the concept of "decentralization" for a network system to prevent the weakness of a single point of failure or concentrated points of failure. For this, please read Baran's foundational work (Baran P. “On Distributed the Communications“). For example, the kind of incidents Musk points out, in itself, really is not a problem at all, as long as the system is open for other mining nodes that are competitively independent of the hypothetical fallen node to pick up the load and rise from the fall. Baran's work has shown that the existence of just two such nodes would make a significantly more reliable system than a single full-node system. The network reliability increases exponentially with the total number of independent full nodes. More importantly, after the total number of nodes has reached 4, it quickly becomes unnecessary to increase the number of nodes because the marginal return quickly diminishes. Bitcoin is both a computational and an economic system. Please don't imagine things based on empty and abstract propaganda of "network of everyone", which is a fallacy promoted by BTC. When you talk about "network", be very certain of what network you're talking about. While it is economically foolish to require an unlimited number of full nodes (see Baran), it is desirable to have an unlimited number in the network of applications and the network of users. These are entirely different networks. The BTC community confuses them altogether. But they took advantage of the confusion to promote a useless "digital gold". I'm glad to see that people like Musk are waking up from the deception of BTC. But I'm afraid that they are not seeing the whole picture yet. For this, I humbly recommend my book: BIT & COIN: Merging Digitality and Physicality (http://bitandcoin.net).
