https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/The-Most-Important-Case-in-Crypto:5Is every single crypto transaction about to be ruled illegal?Yesterday one of the most important hearings in crypto took place, and most people had no idea.Basically, the SEC is suing LBRY Inc. for illegally selling securities -- They argue that LBRY credits, or LBC (the token that makes the entire decentralized LBRY ecosystem run), is a security.Yesterday was a hearing at the US District Court in New Hampshire to determine whether there would be a summary judgment or whether the case would move to trial. But the case is bigger than almost anyone realizes, and will set the precedent for how the ENTIRE INDUSTRY is regulated.Here is what the SEC argued in court:It doesn't matter if 75% of purchases are for utilityIt doesn't matter if the work isn't being done by sellerIt doesn't matter if the seller never uses investment languageAll that matters is where the token price is moves on the open market.This would mean that basically every cryptocurrency is a security.If the SEC wins, every person who works in the industry or has ever bought or sold crypto is guilty of trading illegal securities.Written by Joël Valenzuela and Naomi BrockwellInterview footage from Joël Valenzuela and John DeatonSee John Deaton's full interview with Jeremy Kauffman here:https://odysee.com/@CryptoLawTV:9/sec-v.-lbry-summary-judgement-arguments:9See Joël Valenzuela's response to the hearing for Digital Cash Network here:https://odysee.com/@DigitalCashNetwork:c/LBRYcaseYTS:eSupport the show

https://youtu.be/HYNZKQZEHoUhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell#4/Getting-MULTIPLE-PRIVATE-Phone-Numbers#5Our cell number is tied to everything we do. Most of us have had our cell phone numbers for many years, even decades, and we hand it out to everyone: to merchants, healthcare providers, social media accounts. That number can become associated to us like a social security number, and it allows all our interactions to be correlated.We need to ditch the idea that we have just one number our whole lives, that we give to everyone. In this video we’re going to give an example of a clean up strategy you can use to lock down your existing number, and create multiple VoIP numbers not associated to your real world identity, that don’t tie all your activities together.00:00 Why Handing Your Cell Number Out Is Dangerous02:36 VoIP vs Cell Number05:16 New Phone Strategy Overview05:47 Porting Existing Number to VoIP06:17 Number Porting/SIM Swap Attacks07:23 Google Voice Porting08:24 VoIP Communications are NOT PRIVATE10:10 New SIM10:26 Creating Multiple VoIP Numbers12:02 MySudoNote: The specific products mentioned are available in a few countries including America, but the overall ideas that you should never hand out your cell number, should lock down existing cell numbers by porting to voip, should get a new sim phone number you don't share with anyone, and should only use voip numbers going forward, are universal concepts. Hopefully this video will help you choose the right strategy for wherever you are based!Brought to you by NBTV members: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval, Sam Ettaro, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Sign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

Assange once said, “A mobile phone is a tracking device that also makes calls”. He’s not wrong. There are countless ways that phones track our movements, and one of them is via WiFi probe requests.In this video we explain how your phone automatically connects to your WiFi whenever you return home or to your favorite coffee shop, and why it leaves your device vulnerable to all kinds of attacks and surveillance -- it can allow people to maliciously intercept your internet traffic, track you, or find out personal information about you.Main takeaways:Turn your WiFi OFF when you're not using itDon't automatically connect to WiFi networksForget networks after joining themKeep your OS and device updated00:00 Intro01:00 How WiFi connections work04:29 Hidden networks05:49 Why broadcasting SSIDs is a privacy nightmare: Tracking07:45 Why broadcasting SSIDs is a privacy nightmare: Exposes Private Info09:06 MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE VIDEO: malicious connections11:03 How to protect yourself13:11 SummaryResearch paper from Johanna Ansohn McDougall:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.03745.pdfVideo from Modern Rogue:https://youtu.be/NkNgW3TwMy8Brought to you by NBTV members: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Sign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.
