If Elon is truly a freedom of speech maximalist, he will turn X into a client running the #Nostr protocol. Boom. Problem solved. No more Brazilian Supreme Court judges blocking the use of your app in their country.

The US and NATO countries are being "led" into a war with Russia by bloodthirsty psychopaths. These maniacs are losing their proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and they are too arrogant and narcissistic to admit defeat and negotiate peace. How many more Ukrainian and Russian lives do they want to sacrifice? Is several hundred thousand not enough? Instead, they are escalating the war with a nuclear power by authorizing long range missile strikes into Russia. Russian authorities are warning that they would deem this a declaration of war by the US and NATO. Tell me, do US and NATO country citizens really want war with Russia? If citizens could vote for or against this war, how many would vote for? Two percent? Less? Meanwhile, the legacy corporate media are too feckless and compromised to criticize the US and NATO leaders pushing for all out war with Russia. They're in a position to change people's hearts and minds with their platform and influence (which is dwindling, mind you), but they won't do it. Why? Do they want war with Russia and China because it will help them sell newspapers? Despicable. Foolish. The establishment political, financial, military, and media powers are leading us to ruin. It's plain and clear to see. I suppose it will be up to ordinary citizens to speak the truth and call out these lunatics. But you get censored and called a "Russian sympathizer" for speaking common sense in the wrong places these days. Common sense says, "don't go to war with Russia." There will be no winners in a war with Russia. Common sense says, "negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine and negotiate and end to the war in Gaza." But asking for common sense from the establishment is asking for too much. God bless. I wish the best to all people of good will.

The Trump DeFi platform is going to be an absolute shitshow. Better yet, a shitcoin show. Never trust a politician. Ever! They are all a different flavor of shitcoiner.

Maybe Western Civilization needs to die so that Bitcoin Civilization can be born.

You can't forfeit personal responsibility to an utterly irresponsible State and expect to have a high quality of life.

GM When you have the truth on your side, you feel lighter. When you feel lighter your work feels effortless. When your work feels effortless, you produce your best work. This is how we win. The other side lies, deceives, and distorts the truth. They have to work much harder to prop up their lies and they carry a heavy burden on their conscience as they do it. Truth and light go hand in hand. Keep them close in the coming days, weeks, and months. The freedom movement rolls on baby 🫡

Discovering #Bitcoin sucks you into a truth vortex that there's no coming back from. All of a sudden, you realize the depth and the breadth of the lies all around you in society. If something as fundamental as money is built on a tall pyramid of lies, what else is built on lies? Almost everything, it turns out. This has been one of the most incredible things about Bitcoin for me: how it helped me see through the bullshit and get over my naivety.
