This is not a democracy
The American people overwhelmingly don’t want this. And there is no legislative body—they’re spineless.
This will end with mass movements in the streets if this continues to escalate, it just will.

TRUMP COULD HAVE STAYED WITH THE ORIGINAL IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL IN HIS FIRST TERM BUT HE WITHDREW
And now Iran either makes deal, or war and U.S. does another regime change operation in the Middle East FFS 🤦🏼♂️
Fuck. This.
We all better hope to god Iran throws up the white flag. Fuck war, peace now.

If we’re not utilizing Bitcoin to empower people, promote inclusion, teach people to be self-sovereign (especially those most abused by historical power structures) then what’s the point?
Thank you Anita!

Don’t let your friends use or trust orgs or companies that say vague statements about “crypto” that are actually attributed to Bitcoin.
These are shady figures not wanting to step on toes. Talk about Bitcoin, or talk about a specific crypto if you’re gonna say crypto! All of these things below relate to Bitcoin.
But saying Bitcoin specifically is too “toxic,” or isolating degen dollars and politicians you need to get in good graces, right Brian?


Also at the end of every year @The Progressive Bitcoiner will report on its financials (revenue/expenditures), report our Bitcoin treasury proof of reserve, and give an annual report overview.
Full transparency. Yes, our 990 will have this but we’ll make it easy to read for everyone.
This year will be light (unless we raise a lot more money lol). But I hate scammers, and disingenuous bullshit artists, including in the nonprofit space. @The Progressive Bitcoiner is high integrity!

Man, there are some sleezy crypto trade orgs and business doing lobbying and “education” across the U.S. and in DC. I’m learning this more and more interacting in the public policy arena. It’s awful lol.
We feel like unicorns (in a good way) at @The Progressive Bitcoiner. We’re a nonprofit, we’re not lobbyists, we’re not giving politicians money, we’re not “all cryptos matter” bullshit artists. We’re Bitcoiners that care and just want to talk about bitcoin in a way that can resonate with folks on the left.
Anyway, excited for BITCOIN to be the focus in DC next week.
The world moved on from Ukraine to focus on a Gaza
Now the world moves on from Gaza to focus on Iran
Now three major world conflicts *still raging* with no end in sight 😔
Woah this is cool 👀

Warhawks are putting out disinfo that Iran is at the 1 yard line in terms of nuclear weapon.
0 independent intelligence from around the world, including U.S., can confirm this, because it’s not true. Only Israeli intelligence is saying this.
The neocons are really trying to have their moment again. We can’t let them.
#NoWarWithIran
Lololol


I asked ChatGPT If you had to pick one year that was the best year in modern history to live in America what would you say? It said:
🇺🇸 1999
Here’s why 1999 stands out:
✅ Economic Peak
• Unemployment was 4.1%, the lowest in 30 years
• The stock market was booming (near the peak of the dot-com bubble)
• Wages were rising, inflation was low, and the federal budget had a surplus
• Median household income reached new highs (adjusted for inflation)
✅ Peace and Stability
• No major wars (pre-9/11 world)
• High trust in institutions
• Violent crime had declined steadily since the early ’90s
✅ Tech Optimism
• The internet was becoming mainstream but still felt decentralized and hopeful
• Google had just launched (1998), and everyone was excited about the future of tech
✅ Cultural High Point
• Pop culture was fun and less polarized:
Think The Matrix, Fight Club, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and Napster
• TV had The Sopranos, Friends, The West Wing
• There was a sense of millennium anticipation, not dread
✅ Social Progress
• The country was far from perfect (e.g., LGBTQ rights and racial equity had a long way to go),
but many Americans felt upwardly mobile and socially optimistic
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt: "I have a message directly from the president - based on the fact that there is a chance for substantial negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future - I will make my decision on whether or not to go within the next two weeks"

Very good news: Trump doesn’t want to do it, wants some negotiation to not have us tangled further in this that would lead to massive war and casualties


Imagine being an anti-war Bitcoiner that also called out scammers in crypto for years
Then voting for Donald Trump 🤡
The Bitcoin President!
