Highly recommend Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud, by Ben McKenzie and Jacob Silverman.

Chapter 1: Money and Lying offers a concise and intuitive discussion about the fundamental architecture of Bitcoin and related assets. It also presents compelling concerns with assessments about use cases, lack of oversight, and actors for whom these assets provide liquidity.

[Citing former Bank of England regulatory economist Dan Davies]: "Golden Rule for Fraud Detection: "Anything that is growing unusually fast for the type of thing that it is, needs to be checked out. And, it needs to be checked out in a way that it hasn't been checked out before."

Disclaimer: I have not been asked to provide a recommendation for this book and have no financial interests.

More evidence to support a new propaganda strategy regarding election fraud claims.

The strategy is to suggest that the fraud is so sophisticated, there is no way to bear evidence. Hence, the fraud seems obvious.

From U.S. Congressional leader Mike Johnson.

CNN Reporter: "But what evidence is there to prove that there was this was rigged?"

Representative Johnson: "Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream that it is impossible to prove. But, I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here."
