“If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.”

Said another way, if Bitcoin were powerless against the fiat system, the fiat admins wouldn’t care what you did with it. nostr:note19vsrlxpp52r984ydjmm3qzj4lhnxu4amuxcc69e7wtj7t8zjy4usm5r30q

The fact that the fiat state does not want you to self-custody your Bitcoin should make you want to self-custody your #Bitcoin

Remember: The fiat state can only whack so many moles at once.
There is great power of decentralization. #Bitcoin 
The Fed knows it must resume money printing soon or face catastrophe.
This recent aggression towards #Bitcoin developers is meant to shake out HODLers before that happens. Don’t fall for it. 
Ideally, the #Bitcoin wallet you choose should be self-custodial, Bitcoin-only, and open source (or at least, verifiable source code), for maximum peace of mind.

There’s a reason that, when recommending #Bitcoin wallets, it’s best to recommend the type of wallet one should choose, rather than a specific wallet.
Principles are timeless, whereas specific tools are subject to change.
Nothing brings Bitcoiners together like a coordinated attack on #Bitcoin 
“Things are not explained by the past. They’re explained by what happens now. That creates the past. And it begins here.”

#Bitcoin is the way out. 
The DOJ isn’t going after Samourai devs because justice must be served.
They are going after Samourai because the competition must be squashed.
In the end, fiat will fail. #Bitcoin will prevail. 
We are living through the late stages of the US fiat empire (1913–present).
It’s remarkably clear to those paying attention, yet the masses remain almost completely unaware.
A few recent indicators:
• Inflation remaining stubbornly high despite rapid interest rate hikes
• Surpassing $1T/year just to service the interest on the national debt
• TikTok ban as a foot in the door technique to try to control the internet
• DOJ arresting Samourai devs to try to deter private financial transactions
• The remarkably idiotic unrealized capital gains tax proposal by Biden
However dire these developments may appear, they are the signs of a desperate, flailing empire, grasping at its waning relevancy amidst insurmountable technological and informational changes.
The fiat ponzi cannot be tapered. And #Bitcoin cannot be stopped. Tick tock. 
History has shown that what doesn’t kill #Bitcoin makes it stronger.
