“Oh bury me, then rise ye up

And break your heavy chains

And water with the tyrants’ blood

The freedom you have gained.

And in the great new family,

The family of the free,

With softly spoken, kindly word

Remember also me.”

One of the most fascinating aspects of Marxist theory I see indirectly invoked over and over again in debates is false consciousness.

I still believe this denies the agency people have in their thoughts and actions

Very happy to work with Sen. Mike Lee to promote and endorse the "Saving Privacy Act" to better ensure financial privacy in the US.

–Protects Bitcoin self-custody

–Drastically reforms Bank Secrecy Act

–Repeals Corporate Transparency Act

–No CBDCs

–Requires warrants for any bank data

–Gives citizens rights to sue the government for illegal snooping

–Restricts gov't ability to issue major financial rules

Was so bullish I made a 1 sat/vb transaction expecting it to clear in the next hour. 5 days ago.

Thank you all — we got ‘em nostr:note126pksyj60gdky3t9fwvwnatsxuhatp6lu6ayfgvxcxd2mc5es70srwl3rc

I’m not a famous person and I’m certainly not an influencer, so fuck this person trying to scam people using my likeness.

I don’t know what they’re DMing people or what they’re promising them. TBH I’m impressed they have more followers than I do.

If you are an X user, please, do me a favor and report this asshole account. I would do the same for you.

This post on nostr, using my NIP05 address and identity, should be the confirmation needed that I am who I say I am.

Nostr first, X second.

And fuck the scammers.

Sorry to all Bitcoiners and Goldbugs, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says all the gold in Fort Knox is accounted for, any US Senator can arrange a visit to go see, and there's no plan to mark up the gold to current market prices

Practical and actionable tools to share with dispensary owners. Here’s how you accept BTC (various apps and lightning node implementations). Here’s how you can convert to fiat if you want, etc.

The legal cannabis industry, from what I hear from insiders, is criminally under-informed on how they could use bitcoin today to solve their “banking” issues.

Strike API, BTCpayserver, Zeus or Breez POS could be used today. Even Alby.

Tell your cannabis dispenser (in legal states) to accept bitcoin today.

Working on an education and adoption campaign for anyone who is interested. There are Bitcoiners at the higher level (larger industries) but not enough in retail.

My personal gauge for this is basically asking if the people who deny this have ever traveled to a Baltic country, Ukraine, Georgia, Eastern European, or any former victim of Soviet/Russian aggression and talked to a single person there.

A STELLAR bill soon be introduced in the U.S. Senate…
