Working through my reading queue, I finally got around to reading Roy Sheinfeld’s piece. Excellent.

“Permission can only be denied if it is requested. Direct, peer-to-peer interaction obviates permission and equalizes market power. Don’t request permission to transact; transact. Don’t tinker with the system; supersede it.”

I’ve had this open in a browser tab for weeks. Thanks for the reminder - I’ll make a point to read it today 🤙

You bet. It’s a quick read. Pure bullishness.

Roy it's great. You've probably read this one already, if not, add to your list.

I love this too

💯 we are not asking for permission. Don’t like the rules, don’t play by them.

There’s a ton of great pieces by Roy. I love the Breez medium page. I’ve got this one, but also numerous others in audio on the show…

He’s a talented thinker and writer, for sure.

And thanks for the link. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Yesss that is such a powerful quote. I listened to it on Bitcoin Audible (s/o to the man, the myth, the legend nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev) and when I heard this I was like. DAMN SON. May or may not have shed a tear (I had something in my eye...)
