Well, I don't have Twitter account so I can't see it. 😂

My 4 year old got a Jeep for his birthday, which has led to a new game; Jeeps and Rockets. He rides around the backyard in his keep while I shoot air propelled rockets at him. Dudes rule.

I made my wife moose chili for valentines day dinner (and lunch tomarrow).

Does anyone know if there's a real estate listing site specifically for BTC?

When the #Bitcoin price is rising, cost per vB is falling, and the halving is 2 months away.

It is all about privileges and instruments you have in your hands to defend your life, close to your people, or your peaceful environment, home where do you live. If you don’t defend them, but enjoy your freedoms - it means someone did this job for you.

My 15 years of experience in human rights gave me painful lessons that all freedoms have to be defended or better to be preserved from abuse, and reality doesn’t care if you admit it or not.

In democracies you have more chances to defend/preserve your freedoms in easier and safe way. In case of political prisoners or victims of torture of dictatorships - political pressure of democratic institutions is the only chance to save imprisoned activist’s lives.

In dictatorships even like of the post in social media can cost you a life. Same can happen with bitcoin, especially if democracies label it in the regulations with criminal activities.

#bitcoin as a technology doesn’t need me or you. But it was created by freedom fighter Satoshi #Nakamoto to support freedom fighters. In solidarity I don’t want to allow to some lazy privileged individuals in democratic countries to ban/label #bitcoin or #PoW with any illicit activities/threat to security at the early stage of its existence.

In democracies I can safely explain to regulators that it is an enormous mistake of privileged people, who don’t know what is financial exclusion in practice and forget that technology is always should be evaluated as a neutral tool. It can be used by bad and good actors. But it doesn’t mean that legitimate actors should suffer.

And those whom I met from regulators agreed with me and our recommendations, both in US and EU. That is why I want to continue my work in defense of neutral language to bitcoin and PoW as technology in democracies.

I cannot do this in authoritarian states.

I experienced what does it mean being financially excluded due to coordinated attacks of three dictators in the very heart of EU, in Brussels. Also just as my colleagues activists in dictatorships - we need both bitcoin as the only financial tool we have rights now and both political support of democratic governments who help us to release political prisoners.

My takeaway from seeing the variety of political dissidents rotting and dying in prison all around the world is simple:

Don't let the motherfuckers take you alive.

I know ink has been spilled on this topic ad nauseum, by writers more knowledgeable and eloquent. But something really clicked into place for me this week, and I wanted to share.

Humanity was trapped in an endless cycle of states rising and falling. The 'good times creates weak men' meme.

States are incentivised to grow their power in order to justify their existence, because each state is nothing if not a collection of people who are self-interested. But that power must be granted by the populace.

Governments are literally incentivised to break societal bonds, to sap our strength and will, -to make us weak- so that we are inclined to grant them ever more power. If the average person took maximum responsibility for their own life, family, and community, what space is there left for a government to step in and LARP like they're solving problems?

We've been driven to this abhorrent softness over the course of generations, because this is what happens every cycle, in every land, with every people. Because we're flawed, and fearful, and imperfect.

But now we have Bitcoin, and Nostr... And I think these two things will give us enough space to break that cycle and realize our potential long term.

If you have young kids - take a look at them. When we are all gone and they are spending time with their grandchildren, the world will be a blindingly bright place.

Today I helped my parents invest in freedom money for the first time!!! Whoo hoo!!

I felt that...

IF YOU ARE READING THIS I APPRECIATE YOU.

WE ARE THE FEW. TOGETHER WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER.

ONWARD 🫡
