“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.” Thomas Paine, The Crisis

anyone interested in purchasing two tickets to the miami bitcoin conference? total price: 2M sats (my cost basis). Lightning works. DM me if interested. #Bitcoin2023 #Bitcoin

my nurses have asked me to stop doing the shaka 🤙🏼 and saying “pura vida” to the patients. can’t stop, won’t stop

elites want to peer into every transaction we make while their own stack is hidden by shell companies and swiss bank accounts

I read all of Hidenburg Research's bullet points about Block. All weak AF. TLDR: legacy fiat rails may be prone to fraud. No shit. That's why Block's embrace of bitcoin is critical and it's why they will succeed. This is nothing else than a short-seller's attempt to leverage *crypto's* notoriety to blast a visible bitcoin company

jack is under fire. hidenburg research is facilitating a state-sponsored attack

the state is starting to close the exit ramps. prepare accordingly

physically in clinic seeing patients, but my spirit is sitting on a red couch without shoes on at Awake Uvita

90% of success is showing up. Thank you to all of the nostriches #[0]

“Of all 36 ways to get out of trouble, the best way is - leave.” — Sovereign Individual (to my freedom fighter brother #[0]​ )

“If we wish to encourage a society where citizens come to the aid of neighbors in distress, we must not strip them of the actual power to do something about crime. Surely, it is the height of absurdity to disarm the peaceful public and then, as is quite common, to denounce them for "apathy" for failing to rush to the rescue of victims of criminal assault.”— Murray Rothbard, For a New Liberty

“Gun prohibition is the brainchild of white middle-class liberals who are oblivious to the situation of poor and minority people living in areas where the police have given up on crime control. Such liberals weren't upset about marijuana laws, either, in the fifties when the busts were confined to the ghettos. Secure in well-policed suburbs or high-security apartments guarded by Pinkertons (whom no one proposes to disarm), the oblivious liberal derides gun ownership as ‘an anachronism from the Old West.’"— Murray Rothbard, For a New Liberty

“Coercion deprives a man of the freedom to choose and, therefore, of the possibility of choosing morally. The libertarian, in contrast to so many conservatives and liberals, does not want to place man in any cage. What he wants for everyone is freedom, the freedom to act morally or immorally, as each man shall decide.” —Murray Rothbard, For a New Liberty

at SJO going on a rothbardian rampage post #nostrica ✌🏼

“It is not the business of the law-even if this were practically possible, which is, of course, most unlikely--to make anyone good or reverent or moral or clean or upright. This is for each individual to decide for himself. It is only the business of legal violence to defend people against the use of violence, to defend them from violent invasions of their person or property. But if the government presumes to outlaw pornography, it itself becomes the genuine outlaw-for it is invading the property rights of people to produce, sell, buy, or possess pornographic material.” — Murray Rothbard, For a New Liberty (to your questions #[0]​ #[1]​)

“There is another reason why State aggression has been far more important than private, a reason apart from the greater organization and central mobilizing of resources that the rulers of the State can impose. The reason is the absence of any check upon State depredation, a check that does exist when we have to worry about muggers or the Mafia. To guard against private criminals we have been able to turn to the State and its police; but who can guard us against the State itself? No one. For another critical distinction of the State is that it compels the monopolization of the service of protec-tion; the State arrogates to itself a virtual monopoly of violence and of ultimate decision-making in society. If we don't like the decisions of the State courts, for example, there are no other agencies of protection to which we may turn.”— Murray Rothbard (For a New Liberty)

“We see clearly why the State needs the intellectuals; but why do the intellectuals need the State? Put simply, the intel lectual's livelihood in the free market is generally none too secure; for the intellectual, like everyone else on the market, must depend on the values and choices of the masses of his fellow men, and it is characteristic of these masses that they are generally uninterested in intellectual concerns. The State, on the other hand, is willing to offer the intellectuals a warm, andre, and permanent berth in its apparatus, a secure income, and the panoply of prestige.” —Murray Rothbard (For a New Liberty)

“The libertarian creed can now be summed up as (1) the absolute right of every man to the ownership of his own body; (2) the equally absolute right to own and therefore to control the material resources he has found and transformed; and (3) therefore, the absolute right to exchange or give away the ownership to such titles to whoever is willing to exchange or receive them.” — Murray Rothbard (For a New Liberty)

“It need hardly be emphasized that taxation, of income, property, or whatever, is the exclusive monopoly of government. No other individual or organization enjoys the privilege of taxation, of acquiring its income by coercion.” —Murray Rothbard (For a New Liberty)
