Bitcoin ETF Self custody

The next decade will be pivotal for freedom, privacy & property rights:

- The right to self custody

- CBDCs vs open source unstoppable money: KYC, access to your money, & bank/country bail ins

- The right to financial privacy vs forced disclosures of assets (eg EU Asset Registry proposal)

- Open vs closed source AI: who owns & has access to all your data, your, thoughts & decides wrt what prompts are allowed

- Public domain communication protocols (like Nostr) vs centralized social media: digital identity, digital signatures, & freedom of speech

We've never been at so many important crossroads at once: it's up to us to build, educate, & advocate for the world we want to live in

A hack is different in my view from proceeds of crime - I should have clarified. Hacked funds should be returned, but proceeds of crime (eg Silk Road) are better off being held on to in Bitcoin than being sold off like Germany did

If Trump were to announce a Bitcoin strategic reserve, they don't even need to buy bitcoin to implement it. They can set one up & transfer the current ~$8B in Bitcoin seized by government to the reserve

Last night a few of us bitcoiners spoke to Santa Monica City council. Regardless of stance, the council went out on limb. Starting them off with general support for the willingness to learn, so we'd appreciate any likes, positive comments, and shares of the city post πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ: https://twitter.com/santamonicacity/status/1811113576129519805

This is a great step to orange pilling the 5th largest economy in the world & one that is traditionally very left!

Proof of Workforce & a motley crew of bitcoiners made a successful appeal to city council for a Bitcoin Office in Santa Monica (unanimous vote!) last night
