The smallest number is zero. That’s how many we should be sending…

Unfortunately, the state will not stop until they have complete control over communication channels and visibility into everything you say and do. Freedom technologies like Bitcoin and Nostr are more important than ever.

You don't need to be a single-issue Bitcoin voter to understand Trump is significantly better than Harris on the issues that matter. He's better on what I believe to be the most important issues: 1) Free speech and anti-censorship 2) Reducing war and 3) Bitcoin (and ideally ending The Fed...). He's still awful, and I'd never vote for him (or anyone currently in politics for that matter), but clearly he is better, or at least could be better, on the most critical issues. Kamala is anti-free speech, pro-censorship, pro-war, and anti-bitcoin and freedom tech.

Warren Buffet is dangerously short #Bitcoin

If Kamala wants to kick Trump while he’s down, she should ACTUALLY pivot on #Bitcoin, adopting all of Trump’s policies + the Lummis Bitcoin reserve legislation and then some. While she’s at it, she should immediately pardon Ross, Snowden, Assange, and the Samourai and Tornado Cash devs.

Hopefully the spectacle of these two buffoons will wake people up to the fact that this form of government doesn’t work. The system is completely broken and democracies / republics will always devolve into this. More libertarians / anarcho-capitalists incoming?

Assange, Snowden, and Ross Ulbricht each deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for their heroic acts. Instead they’ve all been treated worse than some of the most violent real criminals.

Overheard a bunch of 60 year olds at a coffee shop complaining about anti-money laundering regulations and how it’s crippling their and their friends’ small businesses. I obviously chimed in and explained the myriad of issues with KYC/AML. Great to see normies waking up. We’re going to win.

Not only should Trump free Ross Ulbricht, but he should award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. #FreeRoss

By “cancelling” student debt, Biden is trying to buy himself the election with our own stolen tax dollars. I mean that’s par for the course, but they’re usually not this blatant about it.

This is…not good. From the Tornado Cash case. Their broad definition of money transmission would encompass pretty much everything, regardless of if funds were ever not in users control. It’s imperative for the future of #Bitcoin  that this gets defeated. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.604938/gov.uscourts.nysd.604938.53.0.pdf

America is not a free country and it never has been. The lack of freedom is accelerating though.

Hopefully more people in #Bitcoin  are finally starting to realize that the state is a violent, criminal organization. There is a better way. https://mises.org/library/book/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto

I keep seeing people posting “privacy is not a crime,” but unfortunately that’s not true. Privacy SHOULDN’T be a crime in the U.S., but it has been criminalized from the start, despite the 4th Amendment. The government has continuously encroached on and criminalized privacy over the years. And even if something isn’t explicitly illegal, it doesn’t matter. The government has never and will never follow their own rules. They will do whatever they want with impunity. The state never follows their own rules, they are above the law. Only occasionally will they get a small slap on the wrist if there is a cross-agency disagreement. The only long term solution is abolishing the state and abiding by the non-aggression principle.

Unfortunately if you are working on privacy tech, your best course of action to protect yourself is to renounce your U.S. citizenship, move to a non-extradition country, and do everything possible to stay anonymous. Privacy is a crime in the eyes of the USG. If you produce privacy tech, they will eventually come after you. It’s not a question of if, but when.
