It's easy to silence an individual. It's hard to silence a movement.

Kids should be allowed (and encouraged) to work and earn money as early as possible. As long as there are abuse and exploitation protections in place, this should NOT be a controversial opinion.

Somber chat about the sad state of crypto regulations in the US yesterday with Sylvain. Long-term I'm optimistic but the next 5 years will be tough.

Your daily reminder to use CoinJoin, Monero, Zcash shielded, MimbleWimble, Lelantus, whatever privacy tools you've got for your crypto. Look those up if you need to and go down the rabbit hole. 😉

Taxation is theft. Future generations will see this as "duh, everyone knows that" as we learn to voluntarily fund essential services.

Your rulers don't want you to follow the rules 100%. They want 90%, so they can use the 10% to control you. As a former 100% rule-follower, this took me a while to learn.

This is the one reason I feel uncertain about Bitcoin's long-term future. Give it a watch and let me know what you think, and which solution you like best.

Never forget that at some point the States decided to stop enforcing the US national government's stupid laws until the Feds basically gave up. Happy 420!

Coinbase is considering leaving the US. This would be the end of the crypto industry here, and a huge setback for the US as well. States will want to consider #NationalDivorce soon.

Definitely entering the "then they fight you" era of crypto, spearheaded by the SEC. We're about to find out: does the tech actually work as advertised? 🤔 Stay tuned!
