The most surprising part of today’s discussion with presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was his commitment to pardon Julian Assange and abolish the FBI.

Lots to disagree with throughout, but I found those statements to be intriguing, especially from a GOP candidate.

Yes. Point #5 affects many of the other points and is what can actually be changed and what the documentary primarily focuses on.

Just enjoying some coffee purchased via generous zapped sats at the Bitcoin Center of Roatan in the private charter city of Prospera. Thanks for tips, nostriches. Stay tuned for the documentary of this adventure.

The trends in global freedom are not good, not good at all. Yet, there is some reason for hope… https://youtu.be/pwneUC9DGro

it works and you could reference posts from there, I don’t think the majority of users want syndicated content.

Ah ok. Thank you

This zero hedge syndication thing is exactly what I’m interested in. Would like to syndicate Reason’s feed here the same way if I can. Or if someone else wants to do it, even better.

Anyone know if there is a fairly easy way to syndicate a social feed to Nostr? I would like to get reason’s feed on here, but I think doing it manually is going to be a no-go for now.

Really pleased to see #[0]​ joining here. Let’s hope it brings a new influx of interesting people.

Not yet. I’ve talked #[2]​ and #[3]​ on so far.

The NYT article will cause at least some readers to chin scratch and wonder, “But WHY does bitcoin mining use so much electricity? What value is being created through this expensive process?”

And some of them will seek and find the answer to that.

My takeaway from the recent convo with Balaji (who mentions Nostr as a vital tool here): Not so sure btc to $1 million by this summer, but the trends are indeed alarming.

Network effects are extremely powerful but not insurmountable. I don't think Twitter will ever just collapse, nor would I want to see that happen. I do think pivoting rapidly to a subscription model, while it might make the company profitable again, does seem likely to erode its user base and particularly drive away the types of people who like to stay anonymous/pseudonymous.

I have a feeling a lot of Twitter users could become quickly disenchanted once non-Blue subscribers are removed from the algorithmic feed as Elon has stated will happen next month.

Wonder where they’ll go?

Going live with Balaji and banking/monetary expert Lawrence H. White this Thursday to discuss THE BET.

Hope some of you can jump on into the chat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0frw7BKkVE

Nixon, 1971: "I've directed Secretary Connelly to suspend, TEMPORARILY, the convertibility of the dollar to gold or other reserve assets..."

Don't worry, it's only temporary.

White is on my shortlist for sure. Selgin is a good idea.

Aren’t they in broad agreement at this point?
