Innovation
- 🔎 We spend so much time arguing about crypto’s criminal use that we’ve missed the most useful part, which is the most honest economic map we’ve ever had. Watching on-chain payments to fentanyl precursor labs can predict overdose trends months before the government's own hospital data. It turns the blockchain into an early warning system for public health. The ledger is a real-time signal for where the next crisis is hitting. This is the first time we've seen on-chain transparency actually save lives on the ground. (link) - x.com
- 🧰 The AG placed a lifesaving naloxone distribution box at Pratt Community College yesterday. Naloxone can reverse fentanyl ODs and save lives. Each distribution box provides free kits that anyone can take and carry. If you're in the Pratt area, check it out. - x.com
Harm Reduction Discourse
- 🟢 This for 20 years (with EVERYONE taking a cut along the way to cast a blind eye), while @bcndp @Dave_Eby Poverty & Drug Industry has citizens running around with naloxone kits (that cost millions from our taxes) to revive junkies who will continue to feed a system that only exists in order to makes lots of people (who should rightly burn in hell, & I hope they do) rich. Pls read @scoopercooper 'Wilful Blindness' & support his Substack if you can. Also @AdamZivo @AaronGunn have also done great reporting on the issue. I live adjacent to DTES & witness it daily. Just today from Sam Cooper:(link) - x.com
- 🚫 #Mexico Hey, @DanielLurie!! L👀k at what the fentanyl cartels are doing with all the money you make sure they get!! Seems bad. I assume you did not intend this? Still: Look at what your policies have done, funding drug use. Do you feel bad about it? cc. @SFPD @SF_DPH - x.com
