Yes, I love your tutorials! I have only been in Bitcoin for 4 weeks. I have set up a hardware wallet, Bitcoin node, lightning node, nostr account, thanks to you and a few others. I could not have done it so fast without your videos though. Plus this is my first nostr post! Cheers and thank you!

At a small Princeton event last week, among other panels and speeches, Carole House spoke about censoring bitcoin.

She is the former director of cybersecurity for the White House National Security Council, and prior to that was at FinCEN focusing on cryptocurrencies, and prior to that was in the military.

Some of her main points:

-Energy-related regulation may push some hash rate outside of the U.S., whereas she would rather see more of it in the U.S. so that they can force miners to censor the network on the base layer. She also views international cooperation as a necessary component for successful censorship. She also wants stakers to be forced to censor their PoS networks.

-It's not just about telling miners not to mine certain transactions, but to not even build atop blocks that have non-compliant transactions, so that those transactions don't get anywhere in the chain. A 51% attack, in other words. Her main concern is censoring states like North Korea from being able to participate in the network.

The event was interesting because there were several very different perspectives. On one hand there was Roya Mahboob talking about using bitcoin in Afghanistan, followed by Troy Cross, Craig Warmke, and Natalie Smolenski talking about the importance of bitcoin from an ethical perspective. On the other hand, there were panels about Bored Apes and speeches about how to censor the networks.

Everyone will need #Bitcoin

Who is he? I mean I googled him but didn’t get if he is in the “Bitcoin Community” or here for the pure “freedom of speech”.

Damn.. even writing this question made me feel excited for the first time in my life I have the proper tools for building up the future that I feel optimistic about.

Hello all…

Dads can save Bitcoin for their grandkids. How cool is that?

The long term implications of plebs raising children to be of solid character so they’ll be responsible with our Bitcoin legacy will be fascinating. 🧡🙏

I can't decide if a bunch of popular people really just turned stupid, or if they're all compromised by the Epstein stuff & being blackmailed, or if with all the trillions printed by govt in the last few years a bunch of them are quietly being paid to take stupid positions on things. I just have a hard time understanding how someone like Howard Stern, who is a buck the system type of personality, and said he agreed with everything Ron Paul had to say during his campaign, could be so bad on the covid stuff & on this woke BS. And why would all of these corps be jamming this stuff down everyone's throats at the expense of their bottom line. What's in it for them?

Hello Nostr. we are The Bitman crew from Germany. We bring Bitcoin to the people. 🧡

Thats only because you were late 😉 I had to off load my miner, banner and other stuff for the MKB dag of bitsave. They were leaving before you came… would be nice if you had more time next time, would love to know more about your journey. Your story about people starting to listen after years is an interesting direction I’m curious about.

The orange shirt is hard to miss 😉 was great meeting you nostriches irl!

I don’t know a lot, but I know this.

The world is a prison and if you find an open door, you run until they catch you and drag you back.

Ooh also a good one. That was an incredible game.

Next time!

Damn! I did find Bert but I did not meet you

Did you make it?
