Great recent reminder from @Alex Thorn recently: many of the most important documents in our county's history were written anonymously. Privacy is not secrecy. - Eric Hughes No privacy, no freedom. - @ODELL A republic, if you can keep it - Franklin Cheers to the humble patriots and freedom fighters💪🙏🫡

Identity (in finance & regulations) can take some time to unpack, but I'm hopeful we can keep making progress. This was a fun conversation!

Any NOSTR devs / advocates ever read this book?

"Privacy is one kind of freedom of expression: the freedom to disclose oneself to the world. Enabling that freedom enables all the benefits of free expression too. Privacy, then, has significant instrumental value." Excellent work here by the Resistance Money crew @Andrew M. Bailey, @Craig Warmke, and @Bradley Rettler

Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth epoch, at dawn look to the east.

The highway's jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight But there's no place left to hide Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun But 'til then, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run

John Henry told his captain "A man ain't nothing but a man But before I let your steam drill beat me down I'd die with a hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord I'd die with a hammer in my hand"

Nashville goals next week: - Meet with and learn from everyone there about manifesting businesses that deliver heat from mining - Find the right role at a company that wants to advance Decentralized Identity in the United States About mining: geraldglickman.com/mining Let’s build businesses that use Bitcoin mining heat! There is so much to talk about here, but my goal is conduct a comprehensive and OPEN survey (data will be shared) of top potential use cases for leveraging the heat from Bitcoin mining. About Identity: Let's build a world where individuals control the use of their identity! My 10 years in fraud and identity risk have shown me that we must collectively and urgently work to enable a new paradigm of digital identity in the US. Will you be in Nashville next week for the conference? I'd love to speak with you about either of these topics if they are of interest to you or your business 🤝
