That’s true. But it is helpful to have politicians who grease the skids by, for instance, making it easier to transact in bitcoin.

What should libertarians, ancaps and bitcoiners make of the rise of Javier Milei, who finished first in Argentina’s presidential primary running on a platform to end the central bank, slash taxes, abolish multiple state ministries, and expel “parasites” from the government?

Check out my stream with Argentine economist Eduardo Marty, who supports Milei, and Gloria Alvarez, a Guatemalan libertarian activist and politician who shares his disdain for socialism but has some reservations about his conservative social policies and rhetoric. https://youtube.com/live/W8MeyFRv16o?si=iOtPH2OABHJviBd9

A reminder that a core value proposition of Nostr is its censorship-resistance. And that is extremely important in a world where institutions and laws can help secure yet never fully guarantee free speech.

That being said, check out my interview with Jay Bhattcharya and his attorney about the legal challenge to the social media censorship that occurred from 2020 to present.

Welcome to "the psychedelic '20s."

Check out our new documentary about the psycheldelic renaissance that's happening in science, art, and spirituality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0xoZOKiO9s

Any Argentinians who’d be interested in speaking with me about Milei?

Not gonna lie, pretty catchy tune…

This is how I think about political ideology now.

Mark Zuckerberg is anti privacy.

New Reason documentary about Prospera, a privately governed zone in Honduras, home to the Roatan Bitcoin Center, which aims to spread bitcoin across the entire island.

Will it survive? Much depends on the action taken by Honduras’ new democratic socialist president, who calls its existence “criminal” and “a threat to our sovereignty.”

Toe to toe with RFK Jr.

Watch it while you still can on YouTube. https://youtube.com/live/lqtONE93APQ?feature=shareb

Not gonna lie, pretty depressing to see the ⚡️ gone from Damus, extremely disappointing move by Apple. Nonetheless, goes to demonstrate why such decentralization of all layers remains a crucial project.

Much gratitude to builders like nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s for doing the work.

“Prigozhin claimed that the Russian Ministry of Defense deceived the Russians and the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin while preparing the invasion of Ukraine.”

If the reporting so far is accurate, a privatized militia turned on its client state and is overthrowing an authoritarian dictator because of the horrific and failing war he started.

Copium shortage in Brooklyn.

Hope you enjoyed our bitcoin documentary out of Miami.

Will be releasing some of the full interviews in the coming days, starting with this one with Caitlin Long.

She wants to start a full reserve bank. The Federal Reserve said no. She’s suing for the right NOT to fractionalize your deposits.

I can put out an occasional “banger” on Twitter, but Nostr is generally way better for promoting the kind of work I like to do.
