In my first contribution to the Bitcoin Policy Institute as a visiting fellow, I examine the "silent march" of Bitcoin policies across U.S. states, and how they impact the people and entities that embrace Satoshi’s innovation.

"The original promise of the Internet was that it might democratize the exchange of information globally. A free internet would overwhelm all attempts to control information flow, its very existence a threat to anti-democratic forms of government everywhere.

What we found in the Files was a sweeping effort to reverse that promise, and use machine learning and other tools to turn the internet into an instrument of censorship and social control. Unfortunately, our own government appears to be playing a lead role."

getting DAZN to accept bitcoin would be huge. pretty legacy operation though, as innovative as it seems.

big cringe. u gotta read his books though. more of a libertarian thinker.

I can’t believe they got Steven Pinker to endorse some lame NFT project. Someone spin him up a BTCPay Server.

Reactionary on Twitter

Action-ary on Nostr

this Senate hearing on Bitcoin mining demonstrates precisely why the founding fathers envisioned 3 separate but equal branches of government. There may be loons in the Senate, but they’re only 50% of one of three co-equal branches.

and most of these hearings are bogus anyway
