Bitcoiners have identified the need to become sovereign in our monetary matters, it probably makes sense to become sovereign when it comes to our healthcare as well. naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qq0kgefdve6kuepdvf5kwttsdpshymtp94mkjarg943xjarrda5kumhuh68

It is imperative that anyone who cares about being able to hold bitcoin in self-custody, mine bitcoin, and send bitcoin in a peer-to-peer fashion makes some noise around the Samourai case. The SDNY is drunk with power and could set a dangerous precedent. naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qq78g6r994ekzmt0w4exz6fdwaskcmr9wskkxctnv5khw6tvdskhxet594sj6an9wfuj66tdwphhyarpde6z6urjv43k2er9de6qax0tl2

Bitcoin is catching on. You may want to get some.

It's been a hell of a week for bitcoin in Austin, TX. Here are some of my reflections so far. Headed over to @btcplusplus to run the live desk for Day 2 of the conference.

TFTC – Truth for the Commoner

Reflections on This Week in Austin, Texas

The energy is palpable.

While everyone is focused on the OP_RETURN discussion, @calle and other Cashu developers are pushing code to improve the UX of ecash. Multinut payments are here and they are a forcing function for risk distribution and competition among mints.

Pay Attention: The Cypherpunk Banking Stack Is Coming

The future banking stack is being built our in the midst of all the chaos.

Financial privacy isn't a crime. It is something that should be celebrated and protected at all costs. Especially in a world that is becoming hyper-digital, hyper-surveilled, and hyper-politicized. It's time to FREE SAMOURAI.

Bombshell Disclosure in the Samourai Wallet Case

This is a truly disgusting display of prosecutorial malice.

I think one thing is pretty clear, there is no consensus at the moment on this OP_RETURN issue.

S’more season has officially started.

It's time to come to grips with reality. 100% renewable grids are unreliable and outright dangerous for populations leveraging them. The abundant energy future is here if we're willing to take it. We just need to ignore the climate hysterics.

TFTC – Truth for the Commoner

It's Time to Get Serious About Baseload Energy

Climate hysterics are going to destroy modern civilization if they get their way.

A bitcoin strategic reserve is way more profound than passing a stablecoin or market structure bill. The over-indexing of focus on stablecoins and market structure by the House and the Senate is a strategic mistake.

The House And The Senate Are Focused On The Wrong Things

The priorities on the Hill are ass backwards right now.

Is Portugal alluding to a potential EMP attack on the grid?

The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed. Paid my office rent in bitcoin this morning.

The Great Liquid Reserve Swap has been under way for more than a decade. Hard assets are replacing treasuries as liquid reserves. It's probably advantageous to hold the former and stay away from the latter.

The Liquid Reserve Swap

The public is now waking up to a process that started over a decade ago.

Don’t get mad at the pace of bitcoin adoption. View it as a blessing. Adoption is moving along at an incredible pace and you will wish you had stacked more sats when adoption accelerates.

The Information Asymmetry Arbitrage

The information gap is your friend.

*fights the urge to say the word 'decoupling'*

Stocks are dumping, bitcoin is ripping. Let's test out @buzzbot 100000

Show some self-respect and avoid using Coinbase.

Stay Away From Coinbase

Showed my kids and our niece and nephew Sora tonight. Going to try to make an epic movie with them as characters this Summer.
