a worthy tête-à-tête about all the fun things. Always trying to insert bitcoin into normal policy convos and interviews:

-online privacy + the Internet

-why left/right want their OWN censorship

-#Bitcoin and its enemies

-Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto army

-CBDCs

-weaponization of the Federal Trade Commission

My radio interview on WIBC 93.1FM highlighting recent legislative successes on restricting CBDCs at the state level

If you're someone who writes words online or in print, journalist, op-ed, other otherwise, and you're not actively using the wayback machine or archive.ph (hell, even Arweave) you're doing yourself a disservice.

Would love to find a "sats for webpage archiving" service.

I've tried to run archivebox on my server, but the permissions and ports you need open make me way too paranoid

this was my assumption. Tucker also has that theory as well, as he allegedly had South Korean spyware on his phone during his North Korea trip that drained his batteries to nil.

Obviously he's got a threat model far above many of us, but if he – as a loner in a Maine cabin in the woods – can somehow get spyware or screen capture snooping on his phone, that just shows how abusive US agencies have become

Is apple webkit is the base for all iOS browsers, does that mean that there’s a vulnerability for the onion browser (even when used with orbot)?

hey nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9, do you believe Tucker's claim that NSA and those folks have been successful in snooping on his Signal account? And then they leaked the details of your meeting and others (including the initial interview w/ Putin) to select journalists?

I feel that not enough reporting has been done on this and poses a significant question for people who do care about privacy and encryption

Unlike my bank, the CEO of Bitcoin never flags my account as “potential fraud” because I signed in with a VPN

subjects: Big Tech, bitcoin privacy, CBDCs, political tribes, etc.

open-sourcing model public policies on Bitcoin.

Would love additional input and comments!

Already 3 bills from this are currently awaiting final votes in US state legislatures (mostly relating to restricting CBDCs)

just paid a 50% tariff on a t-shirt and I'm once again radicalized for free trade

how about you?

we really do live in the best timeline

they really are truly choking off the web experience w/ VPNs

What are the best npubs to follow for all the latest innovations on nostr?

feel like an absolute dolt as I changed my server and my LNURLp was incorrect for a few days.

all those missing sats!

would love to learn how the privacy of https://copilot.money/ holds up
