The lines at the ski resort are even more congested than the mempool 😩 (Mammoth Mountain)

A broad coalition of Tibetan, Hong Kong, Taiwanese, Uyghur, and Mainland Chinese activists are protesting Chairman Xi JinPing and Chinese Communist Party human rights abuses in San Francisco. ?ex=6567a482&is=65552f82&hm=be6cde9983a5b52d0d15554475167a28e5e70932243eb26ef13d0f24a1b0451a&

HRF CBDC Fellow Nick Anthony goes over CBDC's and the CBDC Tracker https://cbdctracker.hrf.org/

I have Samourai wallet on my android phone. UI/UX could use a refresh but it's definitely a powerful wallet.

Why are building circular #bitcoin  economies important?

I'm onboarding some activists to Bitcoin, the most common question is, "how I spend this Bitcoin for real money". For many people scam fiat is "real money". Everyday people need to be able to spend their Bitcoin for it to be useful to them. We have to push more merchant adoption for bitcoin to be truly seen as "real money.

What is your favorite mobile #bitcoin wallet and why? What wallets am I missing that I should test out?

Just finished nostr:npub1szpa7cypmyd59083qs3pte9lez22lzfu6pl2guhgqx7q09x68y6qquh3td presentation from #HRF @ #nostrasia

Incredible.

Nostr has the potential to serve human rights activists, political dissidents, survivors, whistleblowers, journalists and everyone else in a way that I always dreamed that Twitter would but never could. My hope is that they find their way here, soon. It’s needed now more than ever. Grateful that HRF is involved. I really appreciate their work.

and off topic on a completely side note, I love Alex’s hair!

Thank you for the kind words! Have to give credit to my GF for making me comfortable with my natural hair curls and longer hair. If you missed my talk you can watch it here!

Was sad to leave Tokyo and everyone at nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l. Just hit country #30 on my travels! Doing a 7 hour layover in Finland before I arrive in Vilnius, will enjoy the freezing cold weather, nothing being open at 4AM, and getting the capital city to myself 🤣

Great to be at the #BTCPay day in Tokyo! Bullish on freedom tech, bullish on #bitcoin!

A short excerpt from Alex nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu's talk "The Currency Caste System".

The TLDR: 150+ fiat currencies allows for massive exploitation via endless wage devaluation. Billions get squeezed

#Bitcoin threatens to obsolete this system with one neutral, open, global currency

There's a great little shrine next to the nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l venue. So peaceful, you feel the serenity and your worries disappear. Zen.(Konno Hachimangu Shrine)

HRF is launching our CBDC tracker on November 14! This new online tool tracks the development of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) around the world, with a focus on their rollout in authoritarian regimes and their threat to civil liberties.

URL will be cbdchumanrights.org

nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 just mentioned that most Nostr users are using custodial Lightning wallets to receive zaps. Users don't want to run their own server to receive offline donations. We need better non custodial Lightning wallets. Looking forward to a world where I can visit a conference in the global south and see everyone using a self custodial wallet!
