Everything I do is for one simple goal: freedom. I believe in making people's lives around the world as free and self-directed as possible. I believe in this for its own sake, but also because I believe freedom produces the best objectively-measurable outcomes like wealth. Whether it's crypto, the Free State Project, privacy, open-source tech, and generally libertarianism, all these are to maximize freedom as effectively as possible.

What if the real decentralized, uncensorable sound money is the friends we made along the way?

Live with Lorenzo Rey!

Today at 3pm EDT/7pm UTC Lorenzo Rey joins the Digital Cash Rundown to talk about Bitcoin's crazy congestion episode and more!

If the decisions of every business you frequented were subject to a popular vote, you'd hate them. Voting for things you think you want (high minimum wage, government healthcare) doesn't work out like it did in your head.

Really fascinating chat with John Nieri on some more innovative stuff going on in the Bitcoin Cash world. Stabilization protocols are quite needed in crypto today.

Everyone! I'm going to travel to Amsterdam to speak at ETHDam next week. I have layovers in London and Dublin. Who wants to meet up? Let me know!

With freedom, it can be hard to achieve your dreams. Without freedom, it's impossible. Live Free or Die!

Bitcoin isn't "uNdEr AtTaCk". It's being used The Lightning Network is unusable right now. Lots of illusions being shattered!

Bitcoin is now Ethereum's L2 Litecoin is Bitcoin's L2 MWEB is Litecoin's L2 Take as long as you need to think about that and make sense of it 🧠🤔💡

Had a great time with the "real" Ryan Taylor on Friday. Always brings a smile to my face when I see people who have been in the space for over 10 years!

Tough pill to swallow for supporters of scaling crypto on-chain: no one cares that #bcasherswereright. Scaling cheaply on-chain is not enough. Giving up massive network effects isn't overcome by improving a single parameter.

Live with Ryan Taylor!

So many people will be triggered by this one but I don't care.

Sorry #LightningNetwork, but the market has spoken, there's a new dominant #Bitcoin L2.

Great chat on My Latin Life about crypto (obviously), freedom, and a lot more. Cheers! 🍻

While I do have free will, where I am now is mostly the logical conclusion of who I've been all along. I suspect the same is true for you.

Seriously think how much you'd be impacted by a nationwide banking collapse. Now as yourself why you aren't living on crypto.🧐

You don't have it because you haven't earned it yet. You think you have. But you haven't.

Really excited to be speaking at ETHDam later this month! 🤩 It'll be the culmination of learning to not only live on crypto but travel internationally on crypto using de-Googled privacy-preserving devices. Wish me luck! https://twitter.com/CryptoCanal/status/1653428387354931200
