Yeah, that's basically been the case all over the US, certainly at least as far as decade ago...
#Bitcoin taught me a lot about how the world works by drawing me towards markets & the world of speculation, which in turn taught me all about how the monetary system and the world in general work.
Roman Sterlingov's case (#FreeRoman) brought me to the first book on the list, for which I will be forever eternaly thankful to Mike Hassard of Tor Ekeland law firm, who is representing the defendant in court with regards to the nonsencical case...
So past few weeks I did a lot of book reading. The screenshot is an excerpt from the "Tower of Basel", describing the beginning of the end of the Bretton Woods, basically...
Here's the list of books I read lately:
Andy Greenberg - "Tracers in the Dark"
Victor Ostrovsky - "By Way of Deception"
Dr. Benn Steil - "The Battle of Bretton Woods"
Professor Richard Werner - "Princes of the Yen"
John Perkins - "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"
Adam LeBor - "Tower of Basel"
IMO every #Bitcoiner, every #Bitcoin #HODLer, all of you guys should read these books. Total eye opener. For me, having been largely aware thanks to #Bitcoin already anyways, it was merely a shockingly effective eye widener. Ever grateful nonetheless.

Spotting malicious attacks in the manner Snowden describes would, he says, require the NSA to collect and analyze all network traffic flows in order to design an algorithm that distinguishes normal traffic flow from anomalous, malicious traffic.
“[T]hat means we have to be intercepting all traffic flows,” Snowden told WIRED’s James Bamford. “That means violating the Fourth Amendment, seizing private communications without a warrant, without probable cause or even a suspicion of wrongdoing. For everyone, all the time.”
It would also require sensors placed on the internet backbone to detect anomalous activity
nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9
Of course there are wiretaps all over the backbone of the internet.
There isn't a single major network node (think in terms of "city" geographically speaking) in the US, for instance, which wouldn't have a tap on it. NSA tolerates about 3 days of downtime in case the tap itself is the cause of the outage. 14 years network engineering under my belt including a 7 year tenure at AT&T where I was a part of the backbone team - that's how I know.
The so-called "lawful intercept" oughtta be cancelled right the fuck away. Them lazy #ACAB and privacy invading stupidity (there's no "intelligence" involved) community idiots should be doing the hard work, not collecting bulk data and then having machine learning & AI algorithms dissect it for them.
It was one of the reasons I quit. The motherfuckers wouldn't leave me the fuck alone afterwards (5+ years of constant surveillance & harrassment, cost me all of my sats, LOL), so I'll gladly tell the public here & now in an uncensorable manner.
The beast is scared shitless to DEATH.
I found a LinkedIn post about "how to protect your #business from the #currency #devaluation in #Nigeria". It was an elaborate long-form bullshit containing all sorts of nonsense including "FX hedging" but leaving that one thing... So I typed:
"Why not just... like... switch to #Bitcoin? #NOSTR allows #uncensorable comms as well as #uncensorable #payments" - guess what - my Wi-Fi went out right the fucking moment I clicked "post".
#ACAB You fucking #motherfuckers! You can try all you want you're going to end up starved to death if you don't behave yourselves you fucking pieces of shit!
#UNCONFISCATABLE #UNCENSORABLE #UNSTOPPABLE. HOWGH!
Censor THIS POST, motherfuckers!
WEF fuckers should be publically hanged. Change my mind!
"Komercni banka", the daughter of Societe Generale is fencing the average joe out, while their mother is all of a sudden embracing the scarcest & only #unconfiscatable asset on Earth. They finally got it. They can't fight it, the best they can do is to try and see to get as much hand as possible at the less than 8% remaining to mine still scheduled for emission out there... Brace yourselves - maybe we'll get a few more weeks or months of chop, but then that's it. And don't forget - the more it balloons in MC, the higher the chance it actually kills BlackRock when they try to fork their either ESG (less likely, IMO, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx is more likely wrong on this one) or KYC/KYT/AML (privacy - more likely ) based blockchain - when that comes, dump it for the longest chain... Exactly as I outlined on LinkedIn...

Hey, guys, I kid you not, I've been breaking my balls trying to get npub15se9tcdrhkk0a8wnvxg3ukmj3y7glfeqyhs4ph2pgqqfwxjth2qsq4w496 to connect #NOSTR to his #lightning wallet, but I couldn't succeed getting it to work for him if my life depended on it. EVENTUALLY I capitulated and had npub15se9tcdrhkk0a8wnvxg3ukmj3y7glfeqyhs4ph2pgqqfwxjth2qsq4w496 send me a #lightning #invoice using #alby, but for whatever reason, I couldn't figure out what's wrong in terms of #NOSTR & #alby #extension settings, everything seems to have been checking out. Can anybody please help him out connecting #nostr with his #lightning wallet by any chance? Like I mean I managed to get him off zero (9k sats he invoiced me, haha), but I couldn't get the #nostr #zaps working for him... Just spent 2 hours get it work. #plebstr #iris #nostr #nostriches - anybody - can you help by any chance?
So here's the #Nigerian #SQL enchanted talent I've told you about:
npub15se9tcdrhkk0a8wnvxg3ukmj3y7glfeqyhs4ph2pgqqfwxjth2qsq4w496
He's new to #NOSTR, so be kind to him. Mind you, today I've found out he's got a microbiology background as well!

We're going down the #Bitcoin rabbit hole together.
#Bitcoin vs the #Banks when it comes to #energy usage & pollution - I've been arguing for YEARS now that all the idiots parroting the bullshit ESG propaganda are completely clueless & full of shit. Today I've accidentally came across the following YT vide presentation of some facts that are really hard to swallow for them #bankster #mafia:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjxLxNIQoyM
I suggest you give it a look & use this to your advantage when destroying the dumbfucks trying to frame Bitcoin as using too much energy.
And that's all on top of what we already know:
- stranded energy used to be a waste, thanks to #Bitcoin, it isn't anymore
- gas flaring used to be a waste, thanks to #Bitcoin, doesn't need to be anymore
- #renewable sources of energy are causing a lot more problems than they solve due to the incompatibility of their intermittence & volatility with the zero-sum nature of electric grid's stability, now thanks to #Bitcoin it doesn't have to be anymore
This is the way how to shut them idiots up once & for all. #Bitcoin is actually environmentally more friendly than the existing bankster dumpster fire.
bc1qmxjefnuy06v345v6vhwpwt05dztztmx4g3y7wp (James Zhong seizure) - the funds have been moving past few days, one of my colleagues from the CQ VA has pointed this out, looks like someone has systematically been moving funds so that they don't trigger KYT/KYC/AML automated filters/algos when they hit exchanges.
#Bitcoin #Blockchain #Surveillance #Systematic #Evasion #USG #Seized #Funds
Here's a WIP BreadCrumbs app report (it's a mess, but the systematic approach is clearly visible)
https://www.breadcrumbs.app/reports/7521
Someone has been splitting funds into bits and pieces small enough so that when they hit exchanges, they don't trigger automated KYT/KYC/AML algo/filters threshold, also, if you have a look at the average amount of hops off the USG seized address all the way before they hit exchanges, there goes your answer to "how far" does the KYT process go in terms of number of hops beyond which the algos deem the tx "safe"
Speculation:
- looks like this was done by an automated algorithm.
Conclusion:
- Someone was systematically splitting the funds into small bits and pieces enough so that they don't go past the trigger thresholds
- Someone was systematically making sure a certain number of hops is in between the source seized funds address and the exchanges so that the illicit funds labelling doesn't get triggered, either.
- Someone MUST have known the parameters for the tx size which would cause KYT algos to get triggered, someone MUST have known the parameters in terms of "how far" as in how many hops away doesn't the algo care anymore
- further speculation - The person setting the parameters up or the person making this happen MUST have SOMEHOW been aware of the parameters which would trigger exchanges asking questions. (E.g. a Chainalysis insider likely provided information how to avoid automated detection to the one doing these transactions, alternatively the person doing these transactions must have social engineered their way to the information via a contact in Chainalysis/possibly exchanges - clearly there's collusion involved)
- it's a mess to do it manually, it's 11pm evening time here, I'm knackered, if/as time permits, I'll see if by any chance I can look into this further, though manually it will likely take a lifetime to dissect...
It read "the thanks are mine to you" haha... That said, I gotta check now if for the few zaps I received there weren't any messages - gotta learn how to check them out - I assumed it is shown next to the payment received history, but that doesn't seem to be the case...
Twitter is censoring this Youtube link of the nostr documentary.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-jiiepOrE
Just finished watching it off of your Twitter post. The fuckers removed the thumbnail. My Twitter account got nuked because I was inciting violence against WEF, LOL... Screw legacy social media, #NOSTR is the way! Thanks for the documentary link - it's perfect.
#Nigeria #Bitcoin #NOSTR #sats #SQL #Africa #adoption
I think I've just managed to onboard a Nigerian SQL enchanted talent on #NOSTR... Once I get his npub, I'll be shilling him along with the #FreeRoman & my usual shitposting
I've been teaching the guy about #Bitcoin & #onchain analysis and then once in a while in each session we got to the topic of #Bitcoin being the lifeboat, especially for countries where the currency is going down the toilet.
Today, as he asked me where to best advertise his services after I suggested he starts shilling & selling his SQL skills for #Bitcoin / #sats, I told him:
"Look, it's nice that you have LinkedIn, Twitter MAY work, too, but the best thing I can think of is #NOSTR"
That happened as our discussion about life in Nigeria came to their local currency. The Nigerian Naira chart is heartbreaking. 90% of devaluation against the dollar across the span of past 25 years. About a month ago it had another major leg down. I told him: You gotta start selling your services for #Bitcoin / #sats immediatelly.
Referred him to nostr.how and nostr.apps. The solution isn't to shower 1st world countries with immigrants. The solution is to educate #Africa, the next frontier of #Bitcoin #adoption. And so I'm doing my part. And I kinda idealistically hope that #NOSTR goes viral in #Nigeria as well as all across #Africa. I kinda idealistically hope that #NOSTR actually ends up eating the world.
This is the way!
