in the near future. With Heil FatLips Fuckwad threatening to impose the Aliens Enemy Act amongst others I truly believe any and all information Muskovites robots children collect whilst they crawl around through everything supposedly protected by every privacy law, including the Bill of Rights, ever implemented since the beginning of this Republic will be used to classify, track and report on every facet of every individual in this country probably group isolating those deemed to be likely threats to this incoming Dicktatergarchyship.
It sounds like Orwellian science fiction but there is historical precedence and these billionaires have access to AI tools that make ChatGP look like the toddler it is. IMO we are being pre soaked for an all out fascist bloodless take over in which war will be the only escape.
Maybe I'm nuts, but what if I'm not.

My understanding is that Bitcoin is held Almost totally anonymously.
What if these Bitcoin geeks have identified huge Bitcoin accounts that are INACTIVE for a long time? AT SOME point they would assume the person is dead. But they can only see the balances and they can see the transactions, as I understand it, but they can't see the NAMES. Right?
Bitcoin data is encoded in block chains and only keys from within those turn the lock in the account. (Again, as I understand it) Maybe they don't have a birthdate or a death date, which Social Security HAS THOSE. Maybe those are keys. Maybe there are other informational keys in Social Security or other government data that are also keys in the blockchain lock on a dead account(s)with billions/trillions,thus, locked in them.
So this would be a reason to rifle through so much government data. To collect those data points. Maybe it's off base? Honestly I am not a crypto/blockchain/Bitcoin king, I just play one on DU.
BUT ALL THESE GUYS, EVERYONE, is about any cash they can lay their hands on. And if Bitcoin can lock up money real good, and if there is unclaimed money to unlock, wouldn't these assholes do everything to open the lock(s)? IMHO.
Think. Again.

(17,518 posts)People are blackmailed or extorted for being gay, for having affairs, for cheating on taxes, for drugs or gambling secrets, AND for the condition and circumstances of their CHILDREN. And they make stuff up, too, so you dont even have to be guilty. People were sent to the camps in Nazi germany for those reasons.
If your loved one had an abortion, or was raped; or has mental health issues; or your son-in-law is trying to get a job but has some skeleton in his closet maybe you carry other peoples secrets. And you may fear for what might happen to them.
It could be as simple as your kid has their dream job at the NIH and suddenly they are on the list to be fired.

(9,051 posts)files and to use that to cut you out of things, get warrants issued for your arrest etc. It is as easy as making an entry in your bank records for a donation to a terror group etc. and then using that to cut you off and grab you off the street. Even though you never made any such donation. They'll say "prove it" but how are you going to do that when the transaction is in the bank record? You think they are really going to let your lawyers have access to the computer system of the bank in order to identify if that transaction originated with your phone or computer? Not likely and as an example remember that when they ask Verizon etc. for your phone records for other things they tell Verizon you are not to be told about any of it.
