There are five major brain-wave types, each correlating to a different state of consciousness. “Delta,” the slowest brain wave (meaning the one with the longest pauses between bursts of electricity), is found between 1 Hz and 3.9 Hz. When someone is in a deep, dreamless sleep, they’re in delta. Next up, between 4 Hz and 7.9 Hz, is “theta,” which correlates to REM sleep, meditation, insight, and (as is often necessary for insight) the processing of novel incoming stimuli. Between 8 Hz and 13.9 Hz hovers “alpha,” the brain’s basic resting state. People in alpha are relaxed, calm, and lucid, but not really thinking. Beta sits between 14 Hz and 30 Hz, and signifies learning and concentration at the low end, fear and stress at the high. Above 30 Hz there’s a fast-moving wave known as “gamma,” which only shows up during “binding,” when different parts of the brain are combining disparate thoughts into a single idea.

1. Money's behavior at borders is absurd and incredibly stupid as it stops working when crossing borders. This should be explained to someone in the future. Money should function the same across borders, just like trade and everyday items like shoes and sandwiches.
2. Cross-border trade should be seamless and money should work across borders just like any other good or service.

Het advies bevat enkele algemene aanbevelingen, waaronder het gebruik van alleen end-to-end versleutelde communicatie. De Amerikaanse overheidsdienst noemt daarbij 'Signal of soortgelijke apps' als voorbeeld. Verder wordt aangeraden om geen sms-gebaseerde MFA te gebruiken en voor de nieuwste telefoonhardware te kiezen, omdat die vaak belangrijke securityfeatures bevatten die oudere hardware niet kan ondersteunen.
