RFK is an environmental activist and tort lawyer who made a career opposing pro-market and pro-energy policies.

It’s still unclear if he believes in the weaponization of government power to carry out his more progressive ideology

DEGENing so hard I need a preemptive pardon

‘Twas the Night Before Inauguration,

And all through the Land,

Shitcoins were proliferating,

Mass rugpulls and scams”

The Bitcoiners stood in awe, holding their keys

While a new crypto casino welcomed new fiat refugees

“Running nodes? Self-custody?” they pondered.

None of that yet, just tons of wealth squandered.

great story.

Guy gets arrested for an online spam operation, eventually helps the FBI, gets close to the Marvel CEO over their mutual love of fish tanks, goes to legal battle against Apple, and then gets a Trump pardon

Yes — Sen. Ted Budd from my great state of North Carolina should be introducing a new bill by February. We’re meeting his team to make the argument for a very high exemption

A lotta power. Perfect for a lightning node and media server

Very happy to see this bill introduced to advance Bitcoin policy in Oklahoma.

One important part is the clarification that no noncustodial Bitcoin projects nor those that keep away from fiat should be required to have money transmission licenses (#freesamourai)

You can read the bill here:
