I felt many moments of anger and despair today, as many of you may have, after watching today’s congressional kabuki theater designed to attack Bitcoin and Bitcoiners.

But more powerfully, today, I had a great conversation with Evan of nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5, I worked alongside nostr:npub18yvpnchj7yaepjk8yz2pn66hfmmup505aqvx0lpyc3aree0g5fyq8clpz3 at nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea, I discussed the impact of today’s events with nostr:npub1j0sh8peshr8rthgn0hlh2mxqwaazne3kc3rqsm0y7ysssg77wd8smfga0n, and I exchanged a few words with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx in the hallways of nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha. These are men of purpose and passion and integrity. I have the immense privilege of interactions like this most every day, and every day, this fuels me.

They and those like them are why we will win. Keep building and keep fighting. We will win.
