Are we all looking forward to Bitcoin dying on Friday?

Did a privacy publication really just leak private DMs?

Over 40 Shipping Vessels are heading to Gaza.

The eternal assholes at Chainalysis are being sued – AGAIN.

This time by Celsius debtors – remember, that lending platform that told everyone they had billions of dollars when actually they didnt.

According to the complaint, Chainalysis actively helped Celsius prop up its $3.3B sham audit, which the founders used to scam hundreds of thousands of customers.

Full story tmrw. Hard to put into words how happy this makes me.

Bring. it. on.

I had a really good day today.

My boss gave me $300 worth of grocery gift cards as part of my Christmas bonus. I went and filled up on all the treats and extras I'll need over Christmas. Mosha gets a month supply of soft food and some liverwurst sausage, her favorite.

While I was checking out I spoke about it with the cashier, and she mentioned how lucky I was to get a bonus. No Christmas bonus at the grocery store. My total bill came to just under $250, so I left the remaining $50 gift card for her. The look on her face was all the thanks I needed 🥹

It was a good chance to reflect on how good I have it, and make a stranger's day. Do something nice for a stranger this Christmas, it's worth it 🎄

In the coming months I expect to make a lot of people upset by discussing controversial changes to the Bitcoin protocol.

Mind you, I will be bringing these issues up because I believe that it's more important to address them while there's no current crisis than it is to avoid triggering the ossifiers.

Self-custody and no KYC.

Everything else is bullshit.

Cheers to the nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t crew for convincing me to make the switch from REST/Tailscale to LNC to remotely manage my node.

10k sats to whoever posts the funniest picture for their node config in ZEUS v0.8.3

Why will CBDC’s never work?

Reddit removed awards because those who receive one had an ad-free experience. That was the main perk.

Time for a new circuit

BREAKING: #Evergrande

Yes it is available in English on the major Amazon platforms in Europe.

Although #BrokenMoney is about money and finance, I dedicated a full chapter to the topic of privacy.

It covers government financial surveillance, surveillance capitalism, the frequency of data breaches, Snowden, Pegasus, Chinese export of surveillance tech to dictators around the world, etc.

Surrounding chapters are about CBDCs, encryption, and the intersection of financial technology and human rights so it all kind of flows together.

I figure that most people won’t read a book about privacy but if I can stick some privacy-focused content into a money book that will indeed reach a wide audience, it’ll educate a lot of people on the topic that weren’t otherwise looking for it specifically.
