imagine writing a post explaining that after careful deliberation you're no longer copying and pasting your posts from one website to another and trying to pass that off as strategy
these laws are feckless and unenforceable, maximal non-compliance will expose that
the destiny you're describing only happens if you willingly accept it
do not comply
do not pay the fine
idiot geriatric lawmakers have no power over what you do with your computer
sometimes you wonder if people have become so thoroughly captured by the status quo they can no longer even conceive of a monetary system existing that is not entirely dependent on custodians acting on someone's behalf
it's not the developers of bitcoin's fault your entire reg compliance apparatus was constructed on requiring intermediaries
>but the newer generation are using it to get more creative.
Without spending half the time beat matching, they now have time to interact with the tracks more - play with stems, loops, filters, fx, scratching etc.
>It’s becoming more of a live performance
while this is true in theory, i find that sometimes the new tools end up becoming a crutch making djs extremely boring
the extra time freed up from not having to concentrate on beatmatching etc. is replaced with nothing
a lot of the time i have no idea what people are even doing they may as well just be playing a playlist from spotify
whereas i can generally discern what a vinyl dj is doing, and watching someone like jeff mills dig through piles of records & spinning 3 decks while being on the edge of trainwrecking has a kind of energy and tension that gets lost and is not replicable with newer technology
it's sorta like someone being able to sing really well naturally vs someone with autotune
that being said i've still seen amazing sets from digital djs or people with interesting live setups
Have to wait for a post-mortem, but there was some speculation from Ben earlier in his spaces.
They used a gnosis safe which is a smart contract multi-sig wallet that is pretty much the gold standard for Ethereum.
They believed that all of the signers' pcs were hacked and that the UI for signing was staged with a fake element to make it appear like a normal transfer.
They were signing with hardware wallets, but it's hard to verify what you're signing from a ledger typically.
What they ended up signing instead was an upgrade to the smart contract giving control of the gnosis safe to the hacker who then drained it.
