Hey #bitcoin #Vegas! 🧡 If you are here - let’s meet! Missing: Bitcoin + human rights discussions at #BitcoinConf2025 📍@thebitcoinconf 🥹 Let's fix this with a side meetup! If you want to exchange views/ have updates on financial freedom, privacy rights, or countering authoritarian financial controls, let's connect 😉.

For me “never spend bitcoin” sounds like never use bitcoin. It is absurd to hear it from developers and those who love #bitcoin. I can understand when you say about big volume trading/speculation, but day to day - if we want to have ecosystem we need to spend and buy with use of bitcoin. Our example will teach effectively others how to do it. So more people understand the concept, power and help to make faster adoption. Where Im wrong? #askNostr

EU IMPOSING RULES TO PROHIBIT FOREIGN INVESTMENTS UNDER SECURITY MEASURES Things worse then I though: if any EU member states finds that your planned foreign #investment project is likely to have a negative effect on #security or public order, it will either have to authorise the project subject to mitigating measures, or prohibit it... More #compliance, less funding for new technologies is coming... Today the European Parliament's International #Trade Committee adopted revised rules for screening foreign investments in the #EU. Under the new rules, more sectors, such as media services, critical raw materials and transport infrastructure, will be subject to mandatory screening by Member States, in order to identify and address foreign investment-related security or public order risks. The procedures applicable to national screening mechanisms will also be harmonised and the Commission will have the power to intervene on its own initiative or where there are disagreements between Member States about potential security or public order risks emanating from a specific foreign investment. #overregulation https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20250407IPR27703/new-screening-rules-for-foreign-investment-in-the-eu

#asknostr seems doesn’t work. Are there any videos how to use #Nostr and its new features ?

#asknostr how to get to the human rights feed of #nostr? 😅 how it works?

Watch How Dictators Spy Using Cybersecurity Laws Within the EU and U.S. A chilling thread on how easily dictatorial countries can request and potentially gain access to private #EU and U.S. data of individuals and entities on fabricated charges. In my case, this time, thanks to the defense of the #Belgian judicial system, it failed 🧵 In 2022, Kazakhstani secret service operatives came up with a crafty plan: they filed a 'cyberbullying' criminal complaint as "parents of their minor children" in #Belgium to create for the second time a legal backdoor to access my and Open Dialogue Foundation's private #financial, #travel and #communications data stored not only in the EU but also in the United States and worldwide. A Belgian judge refused to comply, but we still don't know if #Kazakhstan got that data directly from the United States or potentially other countries. Their target? To force ODF and me to delete video evidence from social media about mass #torture and political #killings in Kazakhstan, where survivors of torture have given names and testified against their crimes. The Belgian judge saw through the charade, dismissing the case and noting it appeared designed "to use Belgian justice to collect the maximum amount of personal and private data on #Kozlovska for purposes other than simply revealing the truth." My case has already made headlines because of the abuse of AML/CFT laws and weaponization of my banking data during 2018-2023 by at least three authoritarian regimes. At that time these abuses led to the effective financial exclusion of myself and ODF from the traditional Belgian financial system. We survived and held accountable perpetrators thanks to #Bitcoin. This time the defense worked with court intervention, but secret agents are abusing appeal process as a classic #SLAPP case to exhaust me and ODF financially and compromise physical security in the EU and US. This isn't an isolated incident. It's a playbook: authoritarian regimes exploiting Western legal protections like AML/CFT & cybersecurity laws to spy on, intimidate, and silence critics or uncomfortable business competitors abroad. We live in a reality where the majority of countries are non-democratic, and in the last 10 years have abused the Western system of inter-state cooperation, including #INTERPOL, extraditions, AML/CFT laws and now cybersecurity cooperation for espionage, political assassination and stealing businesses. Consider this: what happens to the countless lesser-known cases that face the same tactics WITHOUT public attention? They are exposed without public and, in practice, legal protections that could safeguard them, because in the case of cybersecurity or ML/TF offenses, such requests are automatically enforced on the basis of trust/preventive measures. It is high time to review these rules and protect EU and US citizens, residents, and entities from such abuses. #TransnationalRepression #DigitalRights #Cybersecurity #HumanRights

More debunking practices coming to tech companies… I don't know if you have seen... next Tuesday discussion in the EU: „EU protection against risks from foreign investments. A proposal to boost EU screening system of foreign direct investments (FDIs) to identify and mitigate potential risks to EU security is up for a vote by the International Trade Committee. Issues potentially of relevance include access to sensitive information, the supply of critical materials, and control over crucial technologies such as AI, navigation technologies, connectivity, energy and biotechnologies. In 2024, non-EU investors owned over 35% of EU assets.” Im afraid, it means more debanking just because you have investments from the U.S. in your company/ charity while in the EU almost nobody simply invest in the innovations... or protection of privacy…

HOLD ABUSERS OF POWER AND AML/CFT LAWS ACCOUNTABLE On April 1, 2025, the European Parliament revoked the immunities of two Polish MEPs, Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik. It is one of the most important decisions for me and many victims of their abuse of power. It is one of the most important decisions for me and many victims of their abuse of power. What have Kaminski and Wasik done? As former top officials of Polish special services who served from 2015 to 2023, they abused power / exploited the state apparatus, misused AML/CFT laws, and EU financial system to silence critics, their families and seize assets from dozens of prominent Polish businessmen. Kamiński and Wąsik must face justice for the political harassment and destruction of hundreds of victims' lives over the last 10 years. Although they are no longer in power, the consequences of their weaponization of AML/CFT laws and the entire state apparatus continue globally today: all victims still suffer from financial exclusion, lack effective instruments to restore their reputation for bunisess relations in the international market, or even simply to secure employment. The most important: the EU AML regulation doesn’t provide any protection against such practices. That is why it is so important for the #EU Commission and #FATF to review the AML/CFT rules and develop remedies against such practices. We presented in detail the scale of the problem and how it undermines EU competitiveness in the report: https://en.odfoundation.eu/a/726958,polish-public-prosecutors-office-restoring-independence-and-reviewing-politicised-criminal-cases-in-poland/ In late January 2025, the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw initiated an official investigation into power abuse by former Interior Minister Mariusz Kamiński, his deputy Maciej Wąsik, Internal Security Agency (ABW) officers, and the former Head of the Office for Foreigners. The probe focuses on security services' actions against Lyudmyla Kozlovska of the Open Dialogue Foundation. The attacks weren't limited to me; they targeted my family and organization as well. They mobilized the entire state apparatus against us, from tax officials to the Internal Security Agency. Their aim was to brand me a Russian agent, while ironically employing tactics reminiscent of Russian repression themselves. We have survived, resisting and still overcome these enormous challenges thanks to #Bitcoin, being financially excluded in #Belgium. Now, the ODF and other victims of their abuses have a real opportunity to hold these perpetrators accountable for their crimes. I encourage other victms to follow my example and file criminal complaint against them, and in parallel defend freedom tech so we always ready to resist malicious attacks by abusers of state institutions and mechanisms. Our joint efforts to hold them accountable will be a significant step towards justice and the restoration of democratic values in #Poland and the globally 🧡

When reading the news, the only thought that comes to mind is how horrible the coming days will be for my family and friends in #Ukraine. We live in the new reality.

Back in 2023- 2024 we were struggling to find EU bitcoiners who wanted to participate in the advocacy in defense of FreedomTech Bitcoin mining. We got support of few Czech, Italian, UK and American bitcoiners and grateful for our FreedomTech angels. The results what you see by Czech central bank head wants it to buy billions of euros in bitcoin is a result of a direct investment by bitcoiners and activists like us in defense of the industry and end-users rights/FreedomTech. It is possible to repeat in every member state of the EU if you agree to invest in your rights and join movement of FreedomTech Embassy. When you fight for your rights, you get results and rewards. On photo: one of our meetings in Czech Parliament with Mr Martin Exner, vice-chairman of the Security Committee and EU Affairs Committee. As rightly noticed Mr Martin Exner, we live at the edge and the most intense times: if we don’t defend our freedoms, history will repeat empowering dictators in the very heart of the Europe. We need to have new tools to address such attacks on democracies, including energy security. Our role was to share with Czech Parliament why and how the new technologies play important role in defense of human rights, elections , stabilization of the #grid, reducing pollution and building new energy infrastructure thanks to #freedomtech #bitcoin. So instead of the EU commission’s approach to limit innovation in the #EU, we call to learn more, support its developers, miners and end-users. @boomer_btc @Gabridome @EliNagarBrr @janbraiins @KristianCsep @BraiinsMining nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r thank you for supporting us 🧡
