$DESO is not $1 yet... š
A clear sign of decline is that even the scammers aren't releasing new tokens. Is this the worst moment in $Deso's history?

Kindness by @SidXO x @WhaleDShark
A calm figure sits in a hoodie, centered and surrounded by subtly moving grasslands, the Tennessee countryside. The background rotates gently like a heartbeat, and scrolls around them, echoing waves of community energy and being at the centre of the space.
ā¢The main character sits in place surrounded by frens and characters from collector culture and gaming with slight horizontal sway, mimicking a meditative presence.
ā¢The grasslands flow in smooth rhythms, dynamically repeating across the width of the screen, speding up or slowing down, even inverting to reverses flow controlled by sentiment.
ā¢This piece is chill and shows how not 2 fucks are given at the childish trolling or mudslinging in the heat of pure chaos within the web3 space.
ā¢The entire animation changes based on live sentiment from WhaleDSharkās latest DeSo post. High sentiment intensifies movement and pulse, while low sentiment slows everything to a still, gentle flow.
This piece embodies kindness through subtle, harmonious motion and synchrony between character and WDS postākindness as a stabilizing, anchoring force.

So... I just tested ByBit virtual MasterCard. Check here bybit.com
Basically I registered, applied for Virtual card after KYC procedure. Card was approved in about 2 weeks, not sure why so long. I got USDT to my ByBit account that were sent to me via internal ByBit system from another user, so no fees and transaction is instant. You just share your UUID in ByBit system and transaction can be done based on that.
Anyway, I added the card to GooglePay at my phone and paid with it in supermarket, no problem. Exchange rate was same as my bank, even a bit better, there was small fee aka Foreign Transaction Fee (2%). Obviously I can also use it to pay for things online and so on. The only limitation I believe is that I can't take cash from ATM with it, but it's possible to order physical card for only $30. So I will go ahead with it.

Truck broke down and was late for my meetings.
Rode in a tow truck along the back roads to get it serviced.
Just another day in Paradise.
My life metamophosised into a country music song today š

For sure @nader should at least feed this document to ChatGPT and ask for help.. Let me quote - "As a general rule, storing personal data on a blockchain should be avoided, if this conflicts with data protection principles."
DeSo is blockchain, so once transaction is made it's there... But you can still limit access to data via API and via GraphQL. Right now if you fetch list of user posts via API you can't get posts marked as hidden, but GraphQL does not have such limitation. Those people who provide access to data via API or GraphQL are responsible.
If you build and run an app, this is your responsibility to comply with European Data Protection regulations. API and GraphQL is another level and who is responsible here? @nader is responsible. He can easily update API and GraphQL in a way that if you "delete" (hide) your profile, apps can't get your data.
On GDPR and Blockchain there are recent guidelines published by European Data Protection Board:
