The people breaking the law in the United States of America, are Governments, corporations, and private/non profit entities who insist that people’s choices, transactions, and speech, be surveilled, manipulated, and controlled.

Giving thanks for #bitcoin and the #nostr

✨💜✨

People hate not feeling in control.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, DESPITE RAMPANT SPECULATION I FAIL TO SEE HOW I BENEFIT FROM ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT. JUST THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE PUBLIC. CONSIDER ZAPPING DEVS WHO BUILD SHIT YOU RELY ON.

RHR WILL BE TOMORROW AT 1800 UTC.

Momentum is building to "child-proof" the internet by requiring social media age verification. It appears likely that a combination of legislative action and immense political pressure on tech companies over the next 2-3 years will lead to what amounts to a Digital ID for virtually any website where users interact with each other. Online anonymity will become vanishingly rare.

This is one way Nostr becomes a final refuge for those seeking surveillance-free, unmediated communication.

Has social media been a net positive or a net negative in your life?

How do flat earthers explain a solar eclipse?

Do they just think it’s another part of the psyop or what?

‘Freedom is not static but dynamic; not a vested interest, but a prize continually to be won. The moment man stops and resigns himself, he becomes subject to determinism. He is most enslaved when he thinks he is comfortably settled in freedom.’

- Jacques Ellul

#BITCOIN

I came here for freedom money, not for financial gain. Over the past 12+ years I have watched Bitcoin 12000x vs USD, and it blows my mind every time this happens. Even after all these years. Maybe I still haven't accepting the reality of it all.

Many of us were told over and over that we were making a terrible decision, or that we were idiots for investing in "tulips." Ridiculed and laughed at constantly. Not just by strangers, but by family and friends.

They were wrong.

Not only did we make a good decision, we made one of the greatest decisions in recent history. We had the conviction, the nerve, and of course the autism, to do what we thought was right while everyone else doubted.

Many of us were freaks & weirdos for most of our lives. Let's be honest - most of us probably still are. But we're the weirdos with motherfucking conviction. We're the freaks willing to put it all on the line for a belief, because maybe there's still something worth hoping and fighting for in this clown world.

We were right.

You can stay humble while you stack sats tomorrow. Today you pat yourself on the back. You text your brother with an "I fucking told you so." You look at yourself in the mirror and smile at a motherfucking winner.
