This timeline is unreal 😂 POTUS taking a sweet cut of the world’s biggest shitcoin casino

Totally predictable Left-wing groups are now getting debanked under Trump and need Bitcoin

🎯

No bearish posts on bitaxe block days, I don’t make the rules

What a place 🤠

Met a (very clever and committed) miner who believes the lightning network is stealing his fees I don’t agree but I learned a lot from our conversation Good reminder that there are many, many kinds of Bitcoiners and that we need a strong marketplace of competing ideas to push everything forward

The SBR discussion is complex A) We should want American citizens, families, communities, and businesses to hold BTC, not the state But… B) It is unrealistic to expect that Bitcoin grows into a global currency without government adoption Government interest (as opposed to ignorance or dismissal or attacks) is absolutely a signal that Bitcoin is evolving, growing, and succeeding If Bitcoin was dying no one would be talking about an SBR (obviously) SBR advocacy *will probably* hasten the transition to the Bitcoin standard But such advocacy is also fraught with traps of centralization and government shitcoining (as we are watching play out) IMO it’s ok to not have a black and white take on this Probably more important than SBR advocacy (which will happen anyway if NGU continues) is civil liberties advocacy to ensure Americans can use Bitcoin privately, self-custodially, and p2p and to ensure American companies and developers can build tools that enable this reality

It just keeps getting more comical Sadly this whitewashing of scams as “important technology” with an “official organization” will help the organizers rug millions of people and potentially all Americans through some kind of state-run scheme

🤮

The creator of Solana, ladies and gentlemen

Orange pill vs Brrr Sorry @ck the printer doesn’t stand a chance 😂

The benevolent king quiets the unruly crowds

SF is BACK Was an honor and a privilege to help open up the magical Presidio Bitcoin space You need to visit 👌

One of the biggest questions of our time: Can we help fix this?

We are launching an AI for Individual Rights program at HRF Excited to see how we can apply learnings from working with Bitcoin and open source tools to this field Details and application link for the new director position below 👇 ********************************** The Human Rights Foundation is embarking on a multi-year plan to create a pioneering AI for Individual Rights program to help steer the world’s AI industry and tools away from repression, censorship, and surveillance, and towards individual freedom. HRF is now seeking a Director of AI for Individual Rights to lead this work. Apply today with a cover letter describing why you are a good fit for this role, as well as a resume and names of three individuals you would suggest as references. This initiative comes at a moment where AI tools made by the Chinese Communist Party are some of the best in the world, and are displacing tools made by corporations and associations inside liberal democracies. This also comes at a moment where open-source AI tools have never been more powerful, and the opportunities to use AI tools to strengthen and expand the work that dissidents do inside authoritarian regimes have never had more potential. When citizens are holding their governments accountable, they should use the most advanced technology possible. There are many “AI ethics” working groups, associations, non-profits, industry papers, and centers already extant, but zero have a focus on authoritarian regimes. Many are bought off by the Chinese government, and refuse to criticize the Chinese government’s role in using AI for repression in the Uyghur region, in Tibet, in Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Others are influenced by the Saudi or Russian governments and hold their tongue on too many issues. Others still are very close to the US government and must mind a different set of political alliances. HRF will establish the first fully-sovereign program, liberated to monitor and expose AI being used by autocrats as a tool of repression and also support open-source AI tools in the hands of dissidents, especially those laboring under tyranny. Critically, this program will not be oriented towards preventing “superintelligence” risk or concerned with an AGI becoming catastrophically powerful. While those might be worthy efforts, this program will be entirely focused on tracking and challenging how authoritarian regimes are using AI and helping spark the proliferation of open-source tools that can empower and liberate individuals. https://hrf.org/career/director-of-ai-for-individual-rights/
