🚨 PSA CALL TO ACTION AGAINST XRP 🚨

If you’re reading this, write your representative and senators to investigate Ripple/XRP and their corporate greed and lobbying efforts against SBR and freedom for the American people. Their grift on the freedom that bitcoin can bring is not welcome here. At least make someone in their office read your opinion on the issue.

Subject: Investigate Ripple/XRP Lobbying Against Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

Dear [Representative/Senator's Name],

I am writing to express my concern regarding the lobbying activities of Ripple Labs and its association with XRP, particularly in opposition to the proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).

Recent discussions and posts on social media platforms, as well as various news outlets, have highlighted accusations that Ripple/XRP has been spending considerable sums to influence policymakers against the establishment of an SBR. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is seen by many as a means to safeguard American economic interests and promote financial freedom through the adoption of Bitcoin, a decentralized currency without the need for centralized control or manipulation.

XRP, on the other hand, has been criticized for its centralized approach and its alleged push for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which could potentially undermine the freedom and privacy that Bitcoin offers. This lobbying has raised questions about corporate greed potentially stifling innovation and individual liberty in the financial sector.

I urge you to consider the following actions:

1. Investigate Ripple's Lobbying Efforts: Look into the nature and extent of Ripple's influence on policy decisions related to cryptocurrency regulations, especially concerning the SBR.

2. Examine the Impact on Freedom: Assess how Ripple's actions might affect the broader landscape of financial freedom and privacy for American citizens.

3. Public Disclosure: Ensure transparency by making the findings of such investigations available to the public to understand how corporate lobbying might be shaping our financial future.

Cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, represents a significant opportunity for enhancing economic sovereignty and individual freedom. It is crucial that our legislative framework supports this innovation rather than being swayed by corporate interests that might not align with the long-term benefits for the American people.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust you will give this issue the consideration it deserves for the sake of our nation's economic freedom and security.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

The first time I listened to this song live I had my eyes close, I was dancing & I started to think about Nostr & Bitcoin.

The words of this song hit me hard. I started to think about the parallel system we are building & how much better I started to feel since I started to stack sats & join the decentralized wave.

The centralized system failed with me, at 23 years old I was completely hopeless.

What saved me was travelling, discovering Bitcoin & right after Nostr.

It was like a psychedelic experience, I started to see things from a different perspective and slowly started my awakening process.

"The power is yours, you are responsible for every situation" - absolutely right.

Anyway, I love every single song of this artist, pure medicine for the soul

"Everybody now has to go through the logical concourse of understanding that Bitcoin's the premier and final asset that you want, and that destroys the dollar unequivocally."
