Bitcoin's fundamentals are stronger than ever.
This is evidenced by continued improvement to the protocol stack, adoption by reputable actors like the Kingdom of Bhutan, and the mismanagement of the fiat monetary system.
Don't fade the coin.

This was one of the more inspiring rips I've recorded in some time. I sat down with @OpnState to discuss the mechanics of the supranational regulatory regime that dictates what information financial institutions need to collect.
There's a big call to action in this rip; send a FOIA request to your politicians. If they won't hold themselves accountable you should be using the tools at your fingertips to hold them accountable yourself.
We're going to win!

The zombie economy is on its last legs as is evidenced by companies like Walgreens, which find themselves strapped for cash, loaded with debt, and on the brink of bankruptcy.
This puts the Fed in a catch-22; let them fail or turn the money printer on.

“Hate speech” is a made up Marxist euphemism. A dog whistle for aspiring censors.
There is no such thing as hate speech. There is only speech that particular people don’t like.
With all of the focus on bitcoin as a strategic asset I think some technical developments and trends have been overlooked. Particularly in the realm of second layer privacy.
BOLT 12 is making progress and people are waking up to the power of ecash.
