Most global activism revolves around asking or begging or pushing governments or companies to do something differently, to start doing X or stop doing Y. While it can certainly work, it fails more often than not and can ultimately be pretty depressing work. Bitcoin activism is a wholly different phenomenon. We’re not asking anyone for permission, and we’re not begging anyone to change their ways. We’re just building. Carry on 🫡

The frequency of global human rights organizations and civil liberties groups reaching out to me to learn how they can incorporate Bitcoin into their operations is reaching all-time high levels It is very exciting We can and will equip our allies around the world with one of the most important tools for advancing human freedom Bitcoin makes any resistance movement a much stronger force to be reckoned with 🚀

gm pv ☀️ John Shipton is a good man You should all check out the film Ithaka about his struggle to free his son Julian. It is profoundly moving The film is also a good reminder of why Wikileaks was created: because the largest protest in history failed to stop a war Julian saw this and decided to use software to change the world… leaks submitted to his platform ultimately helped end the war in Iraq Bitcoin also played a key role in the story in helping sustain Wikileaks through donations and also, later, through becoming the internal currency of the organization People always ask: what’s Bitcoin’s use case? The funny thing is that the “use case” is no different than what it was in 2011: giving people money that governments can’t stop ✌️

Ithaka

Ithaka - a father. a family. a fight for justice.

Ithaka shines a light into the darkest corners of society, highlighting what the most powerful nations will do in order to hide their crimes. Stand...

I just received a DM on here from someone who is currently translating my IMF essay into Thai: “I believe that Thai people, Bitcoiner or not, can benefit from getting the whole picture of the actions done by these institutions” 🔥 At the same time, there are Chinese free souls on here trading messages with us, basically saying no great firewall can stop them and nostr is an island of freedom in a sea of censorship This is very ALIVE
