He fails to grasp that the rich and powerful would necessarily adopt Bitcoin were it to succeed

When Bitcoin was small, he brushed it off

Now that it is big(ger), he attacks it

Can’t win with these people

A World Bank analyst shared it on X

How wild is it that most people on earth just take for granted that money is political and can be turned on and off at the whims of a politician

Imagine the collateral damage here for people just trying to support their families

Make no mistake, advancing open neutral money for the world is one of the most important things we can do

This recent letter from the World Bank President to POTUS helps clarify why ā€œdevelopmentā€ is a business and why the goal isn’t to help poor countries, but to help ourselves

You really love to see it

Hrf is a 501c3 so all of that is public you can go look it up āœŒļø

I have skateboarded and snowboarded my whole life but was pretty poor as a swimmer

I would say that if you have a guide or instructor you can probably get to the point of catching waves and riding them across the face after a couple weeks (?) of surfing every day or space it out over a bunch of trips

2.5 years ago I had never surfed in my life

But Costa Rica taught me and helped me understand the beauty of the sport and experience

Now you will find me in the water learning more whenever I get a chance

The nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as that nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu is CSO for, is a shadowy intelligence agency cutout, dedicated to fomenting regime change in states that the North Atlantic oligarchy identify as obstacles to their extractive neo-colonialism. Same as USAID (and probably partially funded by them).

An exploitative process exhaustively detailed in… the book that I wrote

Where’s your book on this?

Good 🧵 on Syria, written by an independent consortium of Syrians and people who have worked inside Syria for many years, as opposed to armchair journalists, propagandists, and cable news shock jocks

Made a bet today with a skeptic that Nostr will have more than 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026

We are at ~35k today

That’s about 18 months from now

ā€œThere will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrections are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural.

Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."
