Oatmilk, certainly a shitcoin
Hidden Repression’s dedication page
No one will ever go to prison for imposing structural adjustment and killing millions
And so the victims of development will unfortunately not get the justice that they deserve
But through Bitcoin, they have a tool their predecessors did not have, and have a way out moving forward ✌️
It arrived :)
Thanks! More essays will come eventually :)
You can also buy on Bitcoin Magazine’s site for BTC
New book dropped today
Last year I started digging into the IMF and World Bank a little bit and was surprised that there were so few approachable books on the topic
This led me to keep digging, which led to a massive rabbit hole of archived essays and reports, interviews, and discontinued books going back 70 years all the way to the creation of the institutions at the end of WWII
What I started to realize as I learned — which became the thesis of the book — is that the IMF and World Bank actually exploit poor countries, they do not help them
This has mostly been achieved by working with dictators and corrupt officials to plunge emerging market countries into debt they can never pay back
Western lenders get paid back plus interest, and benefit from a massive economic engineering where entire societies are re-architected to suit the needs of rich nations instead of achieving industry and sovereignty
The Bank and Fund are known as charitable or maybe as flawed but necessary
In reality their operations are straightforwardly neocolonial, and they help subsidize the way of life in the West by depressing wages and looting resources in the global south
The book was a huge wake up call for me, I hope you can find it useful too

Hope to see some of you in Miami
Working on a big talk 😎 ✌️
The Bitcoin Revolution
We’ve never seen anything like this before
No weapons, only shields
Tens of millions participating
It grows bigger every day
So quiet most authorities don’t even know it’s happening
Until it’s too late ✌️
I’d like to see hard hitting stories that expose corruption at the highest levels. Created by local creators. And instead of them getting punished, having the government officials get punished. That would be press freedom in the ultimate sense
Proud to have this piece at home
Lucho Poletti is a legend 🔥
How dumb do you think we are?
Seriously…
