Seems to be a lot of deplatfoming going on, especially towards people that already fully understand the need for decentralization, despite coming from backgrounds and countries where they haven’t necessarily experienced censorship before, or at least to the same extent as others. What those with the power to deplatform fail to realize is cypherphunks can, will, and have been building the alternate technologies needed to prevent this from happening. This wave of targeting will only strengthen the motivations of the builders and accelerate the inevitable.

After leaving Casa a year ago, I've gotten a lot of questions about what I've been up to. Usually it's, "so what exactly do you do?" 😆 I've never been able to give a direct answer because the truth is I've been up to a mishmash of various open-source initiatives in bitcoin. I could never think of a succinct way to respond. Well, I still don't have a succinct way, but I have taken the time to provide an answer. As I get ready to go on maternity leave for an indeterminate amount of time, here's a summary of what I've been up to over the last year: https://technicaldifficulties.io/2023/06/09/reflecting-on-a-year-in-open-source-bitcoin-development-2022-2023/ In short, "no lessons were learned and I did not grow as a person" 😉 Enjoy!

Got another one for ya #Artstr! 🎨 Also a piece from 2020 for the now defunct Bitcoin Zine. This time it’s one of those “Thank you” bags you get with your Chinese takeout, but reimagined for the humble sat stacker 😉 @Cortez​ @Nela​ @Nosnevets

Hi #Artstr! 👋 Submitting a few pieces I made in 2020 for the now defunct Bitcoin Zine (RIP 🪦) This one is a play on the term “PSBT” and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Cheers! 🍻 #[1]​ #[2]​ #[3]

reading the differences between "open source" and "open-source" and it's way more confusing to me than "bitcoin" vs. "Bitcoin"

Why yes my 9 month pregnant self will be sitting down to brush my teeth instead of standing. No further questions will be taken.
