The announcement is awfully considerate of them. You don’t see that anymore from terrorist groups these days. Pretty refreshing, honestly.
Back in January, Twitter blocked content in India at Modi's request. More than just blocking links, certain tweets themselves were blocked:

In March, Twitter blocked a bunch of accounts in India, widening the censorship:

Guardian reported on it last week:
"Twitter agreed to block more than 120 accounts, including the Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, the Canadian poet Rupi Kaur, several journalists and an Indian MP. Twitter also blocked the handle of the BBC’s Punjabi bureau."
In 2022, Musk said that Tesla looked into opening facilities in India but it as conditional on being able to sell and service cars in India (which makes sense). Given that it's an economically growing country of 1.4 billion people, it's a long-term important market to sell to. India might never be a profit center for Twitter, but it could certainly be a profit center for Tesla.
Yesterday, Elon Musk followed Modi on Twitter.
"Elon Musk has started to follow Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, on Twitter. The tech billionaire's action has generated a lot of discussion on social media, with many people guessing about what it might signal for the future of Tesla in India."
"Free speech absolutism" goes about as far as business interests do. Any centralized platform is corruptible, controllable.
Modi is a corrupt gangster.
Things that happen when there’s too much fiat.
mobile there is no clear best, there are a bunch of good wallets with different tradeoffs
my favorite mobile on-chain wallet is samourai, but that is android only, without lightning support
other good options:
muun - extremely easy to use - https://werunbtc.com/muun
phoenix - great for lightning payments - https://werunbtc.com/phoenix
bluewallet - many features, easy to connect to your own node, can be used with multisig
breez - similar to phoenix, great for lightning, with a slick point of sale mode
zeus - the best way to use your own lightning node
blixt - great for lightning
nunchuk - nfc support so works well with tapsigners, easy multisig, iOS version is closed source
No one ever mentions blockstream green. If there were one hot wallet I’d recommend to a newbie hodler, it would be blockstream green.
Your call that Tommy Fury would batter Jake Paul turned out to be the dogs bollocks! Made me a couple bucks. Used the winnings to buy Bitcoin. Cheers!
