On the beat. Smoking Marlboro Reds and cranking out the best fake news articles you ever read. I'm the person the TV warned you about. Midwit Journalist. IQ 81

Acknowledging the existence of a left vs right is probably one of the most counterproductive framings.

Explaining anything from this angle is sign of a complete ignorance on how the world actually works.

I have faith in those who have faith in themselves

My application to Bitcoin University was rejected

Bitcoin podcast listeners have a big responsibility to ensure the rest of the world doesn’t get too off kilter.

Unfortunately a lot of people are going to have a really hard Christmas this year and they will have no idea why.

We know why.

PSA: Joe Nakamoto is not a journalist

For some reason, it seems most Bitcoin related philosophers don’t like me much.

I don’t support coercion but it’s a good idea for them to voluntarily do it

Ma’am I am no random. I am a credentialed journalist. Please continue enjoying your Saturday

A free society doesn’t have taxes on cigarettes

Freedom is illegal. Freedom always comes with trade offs.

Total Orwellian control over the world doesn’t stop criminals. It only empowers the worst ones.

Framing the conversation as if governments have jurisdiction over your nodes means you’ve already lost the plot.

“If you don’t do this then they will ban it”

The whole entire thing is noncompliant. The whole point of Bitcoin is to route around the state without direct violent confrontation.

Of course it empowers the worst type of people as well. But governments spend very little time and energy handling the worst kind of people because they are made up of them.

They steal, they murder, they abuse children, and they tell you where you can’t smoke.

The trade offs of freedom are worth it.

Anyone starting the conversation with how node operators need to out comply the state is not being helpful. Despite what PODCONF says, compliance is not defiance.

If you have an ounce of dignity, you need to be comfortable with understanding you are an outlaw.

There’s nothing wrong with having a preference for pleb slop. It’s just helpful to be self aware

As much as I like to to put Europeans in their place, I wish you all success

For some reason this didn’t hit on Twitter
