Interesting enough,

Iranian intelligence is trying to locate Netanyahu ... and he's gone dark for this reason.

I love when people call me a spammer/scammer/jpeg person/etc. People demonstrating a willingness to lie/invent nonsense is just telling on themselves with regards to their own character.

The last time I sold or profited from an NFT was in 2016.

Every other one I've ever owned I still have, and I always will. They are not investments to me, or something to profit from. They are novelties. They are gifts from friends. They're stupid little mementos from different periods of history in Bitcoin I've lived through.

So to all the clowns who constantly whip out those labels because they are incapable of making any logical or principled argument whatsoever:

I challenge you to show me a single example of me shilling jpegs or scamming people.

You can't.

I'm really afraid this could just be a gullible thought, but I feel like Greta Thunberg's freedom flotilla sailing to #Gaza isn't just a psy op after all.

It's a small aid mission that might not be as big of a deal in practicality as it is symbolically, but it still looks like good work being done, maybe some of the best.

I got to see and once again thank the creator of the awesome, open-source SeedSigner technology.🚀😁

🇧🇾 Lukashenko to Xi Jinping:

"You have correctly identified the main trend of our time: the West's unprecedented pressure on us—primarily on the People's Republic of China.

Today, the eyes of many countries, including Belarus, are on you—on Beijing.

Five years ago, people said: ‘If China holds out, the world will remain balanced and carry on.’

Today, they say: ‘China has held out. China will not allow the world order to be broken.’"

The crazy thing about Strike BTC loans is that the ₿ you put up fluctuates more than any other kind of collateral.

Buildings, Gold, Cars etc don't change in value much while you loan against them. Few ultra wealthy use stocks that may have a margin call but rare.

Imagine you went to the pawn shop with a gold watch and depending on where you were in a four year cycle you would have to come back with another gold watch just to cover the current loan. Never gonna happen.

The timing of these loans and the taking of new loans to cover the old loan is a tricky market move that I don't see myself taking at this time.

Square business loans give me access to cash today that I pay off with daily sales, no collateral. Way better fiat leverage. I don't see anyone but myself talking about this.

every time i visit family, i spend some time watching Netflix with them, so i can play "hunt down & decipher the propaganda being pushed in each movie"

it's always in there

So what is the really really big news that this spat between Trump and Elon is meant to distract us from?

Let's just cut the bullshit. If you really need / want #privacy. You don't need VPNs and hacker software that you have never heard of. You just need some simple hardware mods.

1. Buy a old laptop with cash or monero.

2. Open it up and remove the hard drive, camera, microphone, Bluetooth, and wifi card.

3. Put a drop of nail polish on the screws when you put it back together for anti-tampering.

4. Boot off a non persistent USB. Tails is the right answer.

5. Keep the USB on a lanyard and snatch it if things get hairy.

Nice to meet you friend 🤝😉

⚡️💬 5 years ago I was very close to taking out a home loan (God forbid). But it frustrated me, I couldn't understand why I had to pay rent when I could "own" my own home for the same amount. Then I got interested in economics & finance and discovered the other side of the story and I understood...

Interest-bearing credit allows the rich (creditors) to get richer effortlessly and without risk, while the borrowers (often poor or vulnerable) get poorer because of the high interest payments.

Usurious interest feeds speculation (especially in real estate), and it's the middle classes who pay the highest price for housing.

States are over-indebted and dependent on the financial markets... they pass this on to the population to continue to incur debt and pay ever-higher interest rates (higher taxes, pension reforms, cuts in social benefits, etc.).

Usurious interest is responsible for inflation: the rich get richer by borrowing at low rates to accumulate assets, while the poor suffer the loss in value of money.

Certain powerful countries can go into almost infinite debt, and usurious interest finances and fuels wars around the world.

Over-consumption, waste, pollution... all the ills of this world, going back to the beginning, are always linked in one way or another to usurious interest.

🗣️ Did you know that usurious interest (i.e. lending money at interest) is forbidden in several religions?

➤ According to Islam: Formally forbidden, called riba in the Koran. Riba is considered a serious sin, as it is seen as a form of exploitation.

- Qur'anic example (Sura 2:275): "Those who consume usurious interest will only rise up (on the Day of Judgment) as one who has been upset by the devil's touch. (...) Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury. (...) "

➤ According to Christianity: Usury was condemned in the first centuries of Christianity. The Gospels call for lending without expecting in return. Councils (Middle Ages) forbade Christians to practice usury. Today, churches no longer forbid moderate interest, but excessive usury remains morally condemned.

- Biblical example (Exodus 22:25): "If you lend money to one of my people, to the poor man who is with you, you shall not be to him as a creditor; you shall not charge him interest. "

➤ According to Judaism: The Torah forbids charging interest between Jews, but allows it towards non-Jews.

- Example (Deuteronomy 23:20-21): "You shall not lend interest to your brother..."

I tell myself that behind every prohibition there is God's wisdom, whether we understand it or not.

There's nothing fraternal about shaking hands with your banker after signing your loan; you literally go from free man to slave in one signature...

That's why bitcoin, that's why I put so much energy into Nostr, I'm looking for financial freedom while remaining FREE!

The Jewish state of Israel is now lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize. I guess slaughtering 30,000 innocent children qualifies you for a peace prize! 56% percent of their nation agrees.

America is worth fighting for.
