Courts are dismissing charges following Todd Blanche's memo ordering the Department of Justice to stand down in cases involving cryptocurrencies where the law is ambiguous.
Meanwhile, SDNY is attempting to send three developers to prison for *decades* for a crime not even FinCEN knew existed.
The only point of the Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash prosecutions is to rewrite the law. It was illegal then, and it certainly is illegal now.

In the silence, with focused attention, it’s possible to notice that the self (“that feeling that you are you”), is just that: a feeling. It is *an *appearance*. A creation of the mind. Similar to how a flavor appears on the tongue, this feeling of self comes and goes. It is not permanent. Rather, it is something that can be noticed. Like a cloud forming and passing in the sky, or a wave that arises in the ocean and fades away.
Neither clouds nor waves have an independent existence. The same is true with thoughts. And that is all this Sense Of Self is: a thought. Like all thoughts, it arises and forms and passes away.
How long can you even hold onto a thought?
How long can you prevent a thought from coming into your mind?
Can you decide what your next thought will be?
#Meditation reveals the illusion, if you’re willing to look.
Jumping on a trampoline is a continuous exchange between potential, kinetic and elastic energy.
If someone adds elatic energy for you like in this video, your jumps can become incredible.

He built a cozy shelter above water so he could fish from it

Seems like just using a fishing pole would be more efficient.
I doubt they’re going to sign a law for Freedom FROM Religion, but that would help.
Makes you wonder why there hasn’t been similar prosecution by ICC towards Hamas leadership.

Ever read #JedMcKenna?
If you liked Waking Life, you might like his first book, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing.
Hiding under a rock of hypocrisy.
If they didn’t want people to run like a herd, they could *schedule* a press conference rather than make impromptu announcements at a moment’s notice.
These people are doing their job, which is covering what the WH says.
Mocking this, especially FROM the position of the Press Secretary, demonstrates contempt for the office and its duties.
this was directed by Spike Jones.
he has a similar music vid from later on.
It features actress Margaret Qualley, who is also an amazing professionally trained dancer.
i think i like this one even more.

Both are phenomenal.
Playing around with Sparrow wallet helped me a lot to make it all click in my head. Also this tutorial by nostr:nprofile1qqs27tmg9agj3xv993n9flcxt2jqtfqazh3trjmvj9e3yds9w38sdespzemhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skcqg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshusv9d
Again, I don't know the implementation in BTCPay Server, which might give you a different interface 🙂
Nice nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3jamn8ghj7cn4vakkzm3wd4nh27fwdejhgw358q6rsj0csxp recently posted a very long Sparrow tutorial, as well, which is taking time to work through.
You can always move your bitcoin without Block using the two keys you hold, even if Block servers are unreachable. And if you can’t get the Bitkey app from the app stores anymore, you can move your bitcoin using Bitkey’s Emergency Access Kit (https://support.bitkey.world/hc/en-us/articles/24395170222868-What-is-an-Emergency-Access-Kit-and-how-does-it-work) using your hardware and cloud backup. Are there other scenarios you’re looking to use seed phrases for?
I read and understand the Emergency Access Kit instructions, but have not tested them. Maybe I should, just for my own practical experience. I’m simply much more familiar with seed phrases (through much practice) and was hoping to seen an OPTION to view them with Bitkey somehow.
Watch and learn from the best.

For clarity, you are saying that I (as a sole owner of a singlesig wallet) could create a multisig 2 of 3 set up by adding two more wallets while continuing to use my original singlesig as one of the signers? I did not think that was possible. My understanding was that a multisig set up like this needed to start fresh with all new keys so, that’s how I set mine up.
I understand that the Bitkey is designed for non-technical people, but it would be nice for there to be an OPTION to obtain seed words in case CashApp ever experiences operational issues or otherwise deprecates the Bitkey project.
Would also be nice to allow it to connect to my own node over Tor, rather than Block’s servers. Otherwise, I cannot recommend it wholeheartedly to noobs.
No argument from me on *that* point.
I’m only questioning the professor’s bias and pointing to the many examples in history where countries “influence” others (by various means both peaceful and not). Note that I’m not saying that this makes it okay, just that it’s disingenuous to claim otherwise, or that the US/UK are somehow unique in this.
