You cannot "own" #Bitcoin in the traditional sense of owning stuff.

No matter what governments, courts, chain-anal people, or anyone else tells you, there is no way of proving that someone DOESN'T know a string of information such as a private key.

From this perspective, satoshis aren't ever transferred but rather reorganized on the timechain for communication purposes.

The twelve magic words do not belong to anyone. They're just twelve words.

What Bitcoin makes so blatantly obvious is that money was never anything but information.

A ban on "self-hosted wallets" is as absurd as a ban on using your brain.

Such a ban would have severe consequences.

It would deny you the right to keep a secret while granting the government the right to claim that you do, making everyone a criminal.

YOU would have to prove that you DON'T know something, which is impossible.

You would be guilty until proven innocent, which cannot be proven.

Any law trying to stop or restrict Bitcoin usage is nothing less than a crime against humanity.

IMHO, the Bitcoin community should do everything in its power to prevent such laws. Your ability to use a communications network shouldn't depend on where you were born.

Do your part and educate as many people as you can as often as possible.

Speech is never free but always costly. It's high time to separate speech and state!

Always. It calls protection of human rights, you should expect to be persecuted if you are effective in defending human rights. Unless you build strong enough coalition to resist and make substantial changes. We can and should do it 🧡

So privacy… IRL if I don’t want you to see me pee, I close the door. So what’s going on here? Peeing is not bad, it just needs to happen. Not everyone needs to approve or witness the task. Most don’t want to be involved, most are happy with this arrangement.

Are critics the problem? They won’t do anything but criticize and shame? Getting in the way and slowing everything down? I would call this a governing action (government) ok…

Is it necessary to slow everything down to not go too fast? Who’s to say? Speed up, slow down…

🤔🤷🏼 Here for a good pee, not a long pee.

I used to be dumb, I was a Dogecoin fan and would talk to the creator of it frequently on X. He said that he had sold most of his anyway 😂, I never really bought much though luckily, then I came here!

Good morning nostr 👑

If you’re a business owner who wants to start earning bitcoin…

Get your message and company in front of [bitcoiners]

*they’re the ones with the bitcoin!

1. It’s WAY cheaper than the traditional advertising model

2. It’s way more effective than burning cash promoting your business to people who don’t own any bitcoin yet

3. You’re supporting the platforms/channels that are helping grow bitcoin adoption in the process

Look inwards rather than outwards

Something to think about

Have the best Tuesday of your life today! You deserve it.

🫡

absolutely. all things cheapen in a fiat system, specifically because the incentive is geared towards mass production over quality. listen to summer by vivaldi and compare the quality and proof of work in that to most any modern music

Do you think fiat culture had an impact in music?

How so?

I’ve seen more opinions about visual arts & architecture… wondering if this is something we also ser in music!

I love hearing to music, but I feel very ignorant about it 🤪 would love to see different opinions!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but clean your keyboard.

There are no political saviors.

Replace government with freedom tech, cooperation, and community.

Why is bitcoin better than gold?

Every correct answer in the next 40 mins will get a little Monday morning zap!
