The broad crypto industry rallied hard soon after the White House threatened to veto the bill that would let banks custody digital assets. And now it’s making a big difference, with Congress voting strongly for it, the White House pulling their veto threat, etc.

While it’s right to pass that bill and let banks custody them if they want, it’s sad to see that the crypto industry response to that was like 100x bigger than the response to all of the anti-privacy stuff that has been happening.

The desire of people in the industry for banks to help pump their bags is way bigger than their desire to pave a way for freedom tech in general.

Much love to all those building and supporting real freedom tech.

Good morning, its been over 3 weeks since the Samourai Wallet indictment and there still seems to be no sign of TDev

in the justice system. I don't like it, so I sent the Feds some questions.

(also can someone help me fix my zaps, they still seem to be borked)

I really dislike social media algorithms and incentives. Negative stuff is what sells.

There are so many times where I sit down with a good host and have a thoughtful discussion about macro finance, and then the Youtube title and thumbmail that their producer makes is some version of me smiling next to a terrible headline and often something on fire or blowing up.

If you were vaccinated and got Covid you have more risk factors than someone who merely caught Covid.

My family and I have had Covid multiple times.

We are healthier and more robust than someone who has had multiple vaccinations.

If this triggers you, it’s because you have no understanding of the human immunological response.

You either attempt to order your world or you embrace the chaos.

Anywhere in between is death.

We still got our edge.

I am open to recommendations on a platform to make Broken Money easily buyable with sats, either print+ebook or just ebook (since I won’t be handling physical shipping).

Let me know some of the best ways to proceed and I’ll look into them.

This first round is print books on Amazon, which is done. Next in the queue is the kindle version which should be available within a week or so.

And then the audiobook will come out. It’s in development but it takes time.

In parallel with the audiobook, I will be working to have it available in print in Barnes and Noble and other bookstores.

And I will figure out a way to make it buyable in sats. As I said, I am open to suggestions on the best way to do that. Any books I happen to sell in person will of course be buyable with cash or sats.

And then depending on sales figures, I will be looking into translation options.

All of the profits from the first thousand copies sold (about $5 per book) will go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund.

And for those for whom the book price is a burden or distribution is an issue, perhaps because they live in countries where the money is most broken, I invite them to pirate it.

Most eating restrictions started from religions, some say to create segregation.

I think many lose track of “what feels good” should be the goal.

For me, dropping gluten and being moderately keto feels great, specially for less active winters. Love wine, cheese, nuts, and some vegetables, so full carnivore even though felt healthy didn’t make me happy.

I was gone for lunch, what is happening? is elon shitcoining again?
