Jason quickly deleted his post, as he is under orders not to discuss Bitcoin or his thesis publicly.. but I took the screenshot 
Matthew Pines posted a long form post on X speculating on what legal authority President Trump could use to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. He proposed two ideas.
The first was instructing the Treasury Secretary to purchase Bitcoin using the Exchange Stabalization Fund.
The second was to instruct/pressure the Fed to use its 13(3) emergency authorities for “unusual and exigent circumstances” to setup a Special Purpose Vehicle and then lend to that SPV for the purpose of making open market Bitcoin purchases.
Jason Lowery made a reply to his post offering a third and perhaps simpler approach by saying "Defense Production Act"
Once everyone realizes the fact that Bitcoin is a physical power projection technology and a national strategic security imperative, this conversation becomes much easier.
Bitcoin is like inverse Spice. Instead of giving you the power to fold space, it gives you the power to unfold cyberspace.
Been a while since I've been on this app, last time was when Wallet of Satoshi was still available in the US. Any recommendations for an easy one to setup?

Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing to it

Have you actually read it? I'd like to hear your argument for why you disagree. I've read the book five times front to back and from first principles I havnt seen anyone articulate a good argument for why it isn't an unprecedented form of warfare.. and yes.. ive read lopps critique and even wrote a rebuttal to it.
Many people think studying the question "what is money?" leads to a deeper more fundamental understanding of Bitcoin, when really that's a very narrow lens that misses the much larger picture.
A set of questions that should be asked and deeply understood are the following.
What is war?
What are dominance hierarchies?
Why is establishing a secure intraspecies dominance hierarchy one of the most existentially important activities for pack animals?
Understanding these questions offers much deeper and more profound insights into what Bitcoin is and it's implications for society.
The money question is basic, and perhaps even misguided. The war question is when you truly begin to descend the rabbit hole.
It's possible Satoshi deliberately obfuscated the complex emergent behavior of his protocol by describing it as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Effectively Trojan horsing in his invention under the radar of any potentially adversarial organizations. After all, military industrial complexes need funding, and this one needed time to scale and become powerful.
It's also possible Satoshi simply endeavored to solve the problem of allowing a distributed computing network come to consensus on a ledger with realizing the much more significant implications of the protocol.
Whatever the case, Satoshi appears to have invented a non-lethal globally scalable electro-cyber warfare protocol that seems to bypass the nuclear strategic stalemate. Because the physical power competition (war) over bitcoin's ledger writing privilege is electric and totally non-destructive, and in fact incentivizes those involved in the power competition to scale up and optimize their infrastructure, it is much less likely to escalate kinetically.
This form of electric warfare is infinitely scalable and produces clear winners and losers, resulting in a systemically secure physical-power-based dominance hierarchy. Kinetic warfare has reached a ceiling where nuclear armed nations can no longer settle international policy disputes using permissionless, zero-trust, egalitarian warfare without risking nuclear exchange, producing no winners.
If Bitcoin was never invented, nuclear armed nations, not reasonably able to engage in large scale kinetic warfare without risking MAD, would inevitably have to form a single global ruling class and rely on a systemically insecure and unstable abstract-power-based dominance hierarchy to settle disputes and control the world's resources.
Bitcoin represents the ability for our species to resume warring at large scale to establish a secure dominance hierarchy and preserve decentralization over our resources.
Doing pretty rough this week... family busted my bedroom door down and gave me a court ordered white sheet so I was handcuffed and driven to a psych ward by police. Then was told by family I couldn't return home after being in the hospital from the 2nd to the 11th making me effectively homeless.
If anyone can donate any amount of sats that would be greatly appreciated.
You either have an extraordinary amount of cognitive dissonance, or you don't want people to read softwar for some malicious reason.
I am cynical and view you as one of the biggest grifters in the community.
Lopp doesn't even comprehend softwar, calling him a bitcoin genius is a joke
--Digital Might--
Hashrate is ripping
BlackRock is tripping
Fiat, get out the way
Bitcoin is power
Let no evil flower
The banksters will have to pay
A truth hard to swallow
For the god-kings will follow
They really don't have a say
Brute-force digital might
People rise to the fight
Freedom at the end of the day
Cause this shits fucken broken.. people act like nostr is some miracle and it's cringey af.
Bitpower is going to win the internet, and strangle all legacy applications, including nostr, and anything else built using conventional bits of information/ encoded logic.
If only the lists feature on X actually did show the lists I am on.
