Just posted to my private family group chat! I've been quite mostly, until today.... What do you think? Am I off the mark? Post your reply so we all can understand! "About 40 days ago Bitcoin (BTC) was at $76,000, today it hit $107,000.... In 40 days. Make sure you make time to #StudyBitcoin..... Anywhere in the world, young or old, rich or poor, #StudyBitcoin. Even if you don't care to learn what Bitcoin is or what problems Bitcoin solves, help your kids! Learn enough to give them their allowance and/or for chores. Or teach them entrepreneurship, sell lemonade or cinnamon rolls and have them accept Bitcoin for payment. ...have you checked the US Dollar rating lately? ... Take your current savings in USD...0.02%???......, maybe you work for the state! "2% a year? COLA? Cost of Living Adjustment!? ...you doing the math like them? That means what ever you have saved today, in 35 years....it will be worth 0 ZERO! INFLATION The other hidden tax. Zero as in because the FAKE 'fed' has to keep printing money, that you had to work hard for... Now what you tried to "save" is gone now. 😁 " #StudyBitcoin #StudyAustrianEconomics #

"Microsoft’s recent decision to block access to the email account of International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan is raising urgent questions in the Netherlands about the country’s deep reliance on American technology companies"...... Sounds like more countries are realizing you shouldn't put all your tech and data behind closed/gated-walls. #learnOPENtech #LOT #FreedomTech #Linux #LibreOffice https://nltimes.nl/2025/05/20/microsofts-icc-email-block-triggers- dutch-concerns-dependence-us-tech

GM #nostr land Foreign governments are tired of Micro$oft spying on them, so more are switching to Linux and Open Source Software. "Open formats and open interfaces are an important building block for the necessary transformation process of public administration in Germany on the path to greater digital sovereignty and innovation. The IT Planning Council is committed to ensuring that open formats such as the Open Document Format (ODF) are increasingly used in public administration and become the standard for document exchange by 2027. It is commissioning the Standardization Board to implement this." #OpenSource #FreedomTech #learnOPENtech #LOT

Been a Linux end-user and Open Source Advocate for 15+ years. Know what isn't in Linux? An app that takes a screenshot every few seconds: #learnOPENtech #LOT #OpenSource #Linux #FreedomTech "Recall continues to demand an extraordinary level of trust that Microsoft hasn’t earned. However secure and private it is—and, again, the version people will actually get is much better than the version that caused the original controversy—it just feels creepy to open up the app and see confidential work materials and pictures of your kid. You’re already trusting Microsoft with those things any time you use your PC, but there’s something viscerally unsettling about actually seeing evidence that your computer is tracking you, even if you’re not doing anything you’re worried about hiding, even if you’ve excluded certain apps or sites, and even if you “know” that part of the reason why Recall requires a Copilot+ PC is because it’s processing everything locally rather than on a server somewhere." ↫ Andrew Cunningham at Ars Technica

I was like "Dude, that serape is far out! ... And he was like we only take fiat around these parts, and I was like ...Yo! I got #Bitcoin right here!" Then he was like "can I use $0.25 to phone home, and I was like, you mean Sats?! And he was all offended saying " not all of us can have that magic internet money, we aren't advanced enough...." So I just left and instead of a serape....I stacked SATs!...... #stacksats #StudyBitcoin image

Breaking news! 🍄 The New Mexico governor signed legislation that will allow patients diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse disorders and several other conditions to legally use psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, under medical supervision. More from the ABQJournal: The approval of a state-run psilocybin program will make New Mexico the third state to authorize use of the drug in such circumstances, following in the steps of Oregon and Colorado. Several military veterans urged lawmakers to pass the bill during this year’s session, citing their own experiences with psilocybin use.
