FOSS, Decentralization, Freedom. Money and the free market aren't just tools; they’re the backbone of the only direct democracy that actually works.
Money is how you materialize your choices. A competitive market gives you the power to say 'fuck you' the second you're unhappy with what you get. That’s the ultimate way to vote. Every purchase is a ballot cast, and you’re voting every single day. Everything else is just noise. And if it all goes to hell? You vote with your feet and get the fuck out. That’s the last resort.

Central banks are a scam; there is no competitive market anymore in the EU. They have created so much bureaucratic complexity that you cannot start a business without spending thousands of euros. Holding companies, financial optimization, regulations, and taxes, all these things are symptoms of this illness.

If we want #Nostr to go mainstream, it needs to be an option on every "Sign In" page. 🔑
I just proposed bringing Nostr (NIP-98) to django-allauth (https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/).
We won't democratize Nostr, Lightning, or Bitcoin without a critical mass of services adopting them. By integrating into the tools devs already use, we bridge the gap to the next million users. 🚀

Money is the best way to materialize your personal choices. Money is freedom, freedom to choose, freedom to act. Money is the only true embodiment of a direct democracy.
I couldn't agree more. Centralized and interventionist governments spend their time trying to fix problems that they created themselves. They destroy the free market (the natural collaboration of individuals), and then they try to emulate it via state mechanisms and an army of civil servants and officials. This leads to corruption. Corruption is directly proportional to the number of officials.
Came for the gains, stayed for the revolution.

Netherlands’ Collapse: How "Social Justice" Killed Europe's Model Economy
How EU social policies sank the Netherlands' booming economy. A critical warning for EU citizens. ► Get my in-depth analysis: https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-social-model-144905765
In 2017, the Netherlands was a model of economic success. But just a few years later, the country is facing sluggish growth, exploding bankruptcies, and a severe housing crisis. What happened? This video provides a detailed case study on how the EU's "European Pillar of Social Rights" directly impacted and dismantled a thriving economy.
For EU citizens, this analysis is a crucial warning. We dissect the three key policies implemented by the Dutch government—forced requalification of freelancers, a massive minimum wage hike, and strict rent control—and trace their devastating consequences. You'll see how measures intended to create "secure jobs" ended up freezing thousands of freelance contracts in the IT and healthcare sectors, shattering the flexibility that fueled innovation.
Going beyond the headlines, we explore the core ideological conflict at play: the battle between "distributive justice" (social justice) and "commutative justice." Drawing on the work of economist Friedrich Hayek, we explain how moving from a system of clear, universal rules to one focused on engineering specific outcomes is, as he called it, the "road to serfdom."
This video is not just about the Netherlands; it’s about the future of economic freedom in Europe. We analyze how centralized planning creates the perfect conditions for economic crises and provides the legal infrastructure for future authoritarianism. Understand these mechanisms to protect your career, your investments, and your financial freedom.

ViDA - EU Now Tracks Every Purchase You Make. Here's The Escape Plan.
The EU's new e-invoicing system (ViDA) isn't about tax—it's about surveillance. Learn how it works and how to protect your freedom: https://www.patreon.com/posts/vida-eus-digital-148351457
For entrepreneurs, freelancers, and privacy-conscious citizens in Europe, a major shift is happening under the radar. The EU is rolling out "VAT in the Digital Age" (ViDA), a mandatory electronic invoicing and real-time reporting system. While officially designed to combat VAT fraud, its implications for individual liberty and data privacy are staggering.
In this deep-dive analysis, we break down how ViDA works and why it's a critical component of a broader surveillance architecture, alongside the Digital Euro and the European Digital Identity. We'll explore how this system transforms every transaction into a data point for the State, creating a perfect map of your professional and personal life.
This video is for tech professionals and business owners who need to understand the real-world consequences of this policy. You will learn about:
• The shift from a "trust-based" tax system to one of "a priori surveillance."
• The risk of "algorithmic justice," where AI can automatically issue sanctions.
• The massive cybersecurity threat of centralizing all transactional data.
• The economic burden on small businesses, forcing them to finance their own monitoring.
• Actionable strategies to protect your financial sovereignty and business interests in this new environment.
If this analysis helped you understand the risks of ViDA and other EU initiatives, please like the video and subscribe to the channel to support our work.
