Well, that explains why the increase in Goons on social media.

The newly released White House Digital Assets Report represents a clear policy shift. For the first time, Bitcoin is treated as something distinct, quoted, cited, and understood on its own terms.

Satoshi is referenced, the whitepaper is cited, and Bitcoin is positioned as the foundation of the digital asset ecosystem.

The report outlines Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer structure, its operation without intermediaries, and its role in financial innovation. It goes further than past U.S. publications in explaining what sets Bitcoin apart from the wider crypto sector.

It also mentions the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. While details remain limited, the fact that Bitcoin is being considered a strategic asset, separate from other digital assets, insicates a clear shift in policy tone.

For Bitcoiners, this is progress. The framing is more deliberate. The tone is more respectful. And the message is clear: Bitcoin is being taken seriously.

The groundwork is laid. What matters now is whether policymakers engage with Bitcoin on its own terms and begin treating it as a serious strategic asset.

Meanwhile, in the UK, spot Bitcoin ETFs remain unavailable, and Economic Secretary Emma Reynolds has dismissed the idea of a national Bitcoin reserve:

“We don’t believe that’s the right approach for our market… that’s not the path we plan to take.”

They say when the U.S. acts, the rest of the world follows. Let’s hope that’s true for the UK, because Bitcoin offers the kind of hope we badly need in a dysfunctional, collapsing system.

Well, it would be nice if you’re right, but They say a lot of things, and my modus operandi today is “when the government speaks, I probably ought to do the opposite” because They are lying.

pay for what you’re willing to use. I pay for Gigabit cable internet, but not 42 subscriptions to different Internet services. Different open source projects work for me, including, increasingly, Linux.

OK, now that’s either the best AI ever of a large crowd of refugees hauling rice, or that’s just a lot of people suffering. Good work, world. 🤦‍♂️

Oh, and to address your “Big Bang to Big Crunch ad infinitum” idea: that would require a mathematically impossible level of order and design (based on even the most generous age of the universe of -14.6B yrs; and it could be as little as several thousand years depending on your level of interpretation of the Bible) to BOTH events, infinitely, which essentially requires a God untethered to any universe to keep such a cycle from collapsing into full random nothingness.

If I presume what you mean by the Big Bang is the typical scientific definition, then the Big Bang is creation of nothing to something. Non-material, non-existence to material existence. (And no need to argue down the rabbit holes of string theory or multi-dimensional universe theories - that’s just adding pointless layers of recursion on top of the primary point here.)

God is not defined in material terms, so there need not be anything preceeding God. It is from God which all things, whether immaterial, material, or spiritual come from. In Christian parlance: “In the beginning, God…”

Hope that helps frame for you my original argument. 🤙

😆 We’ll get there. nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wvh8xmmrd9skcqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgm3cefa ‘s first little experiment with a smartphone and texting kinda got ginormous eventually.

The “Big Bang” still requires a Big Banger - so there’s no reason to nullify the existence of God, which then invalidates the entire straw man set up here to knock down a spherical Earth hypothesis. There’s no reason to believe Flat Earthers when their best defense is almost always centered on the straw man structures used for the exact same fallible arguments of atheist evolutionists against the existence of God.

Mind you, I’m not even arguing for a spherical Earth here. I’m simply pointing out the stupidity of this manner of arguing for a Flat Earth. Do better next time.

Bill Burr has a funny line about the old Nestle CEO: “This guy wants to own the rain. Can we do somethin’ about this psycho?!”

This happened to my family this winter. Walked in a diner, ordered burgers, family behind us paid for it. “Wow! You don’t have to do this! That is so kind!”. Answer: “Well, the couple before us paid for ours, so we’re passing it along.” So then I paid for next family that came in after me. That was joyful.

easy answer: racism. All the black people are forced to watch from outside the playing field while being told they’ve been given equality or equity by those who had some leftover boxes they could temporarily use. the socialism and justice quadrants are just funny. 😄

Central banking extends to the Internet, in case none of you plebs realized this fact. The protocols may be open, but rug-pull some undersea cables or land-based central points of failure and your entire country goes dark. Will happen again. Bitcoin doesn’t fix that.
