Something to note: Andrea Gacki, director of FinCEN, was a 2023 Biden appointee. Trump can, and should, replace her. She’s continuing the Biden area attacks on privacy in all forms (corporate transparency act, now this patriot act drivel).

But yeah remember, you hold the cards & can totally hold up the sale - so you can stand in truth and they can extend the closing date.
You hold the cards, don't forget.
I do know a thing or two about this kind of situation.
DM me and I’ll give you my signal.
Wasn’t there a bet attached to this? 🤣
Congrats on the 1000! (This was supposed to be sent on ep 1001, but fountain gave me issues)

Chokepoint 2.0, making news last week with Marc Andreessen’s appearance on Joe Rogan continues, claiming victims within the last 30 days.
It must end, & the regulators responsible must face personal sanction.

DUNA = Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association
It’s a Wyoming entity type (for now), but basically an unincorporated nonprofit with a DAO overlay.
So far, only one has been filed…

Just seeing this now, I guess when an idea is ready, it really does appear in multiple forms all at once.
Contra to those who say Bitcoin transcends politics, or is somehow orthogonal to it, I agree with Stephan Livera’s points in his recent Bitcoin Magazine article “Bitcoin Won’t Let You Transcend Politics”
My thoughts:
Why would Damus be unable to decrypt a DM?
Well, since you asked, I listen to everything at 2.5x to 3x+, depending on who is talking. You guys are a 2.5-2.75x. Guy Swann is more like 3x+. Some audiobooks are as low as 2x.
But its not pleasant listening below 2x anymore.

The Green United case mentioned by WatcherGuru below is a big nothing burger for Bitcoin miners.
AsILayHodling BikesandBitcoin and NeerajKA have all also discussed this on Twitter (not sure any are on Nostr? Didn’t find them).
Details on Stacher.news:
Give us your untapped, your stranded,
Your wasted megawatts yearning to be unleashed,
The dormant energy of forgotten grids,
Send these, the unused power, to our mines,
We lift our ASICs beside the golden fields.

Can't overstate how significant this is.

This is awesome.
I buy big dips and I cannot lie
You other stackers can’t deny
That when a coin drops low with an itty-bitty graph
And that red chart in your face you laugh
You get pumped, wanna pull out your stash
‘Cause you noticed that dip was vast
Deep in the bear market, just gotta buy some more
So you load up your phone,
Watch your portfolio soar
Oh, baby, I wanna buy ya
But you say the dip will fry ya
My brokers tried to warn me
But that dip you got makes (me so wealthy)
Ooh, crypto’s crashing
You say you wanna get in my stash?
Well, use me, use me
‘Cause you ain’t the average newbie
I’ve seen them sellin’
To hell with caution
We’re bearish, daring,
Got it goin’ on, we’re wearin’ HODL flairin’
I’m tired of magazines
Saying fiat’s the thing
Take the average crypto nerd and ask him that
Bitcoin gotta stack
So, stackers! (Yeah!) Stackers! (Yeah!)
Is your portfolio outta whack? (Hell yeah!)
Then buy it, buy it, buy that big ol’ dip
Bitcoin’s back
I buy big dips (with cash in hand)
You other stackers can’t deny (our bags expand)
HODL strong and tight (we’re in command)
We’re buying dips tonight (our gains are planned)
To the pumpin’ bull runs in the magazines
You ain’t it, Miss Thing
Gimme a crash, I can’t resist
Red candles, here’s my wish
Bitcoin’s droppin’, we’re still shoppin’
And I’m stoppin’, I ain’t swappin’
Holding strong, all day long
And we singin’ that bear market song
So, yeah, we’re cautious, and audacious
Stackin’ sats, no vacations
Cash reserves in my cold storage
Crypto’s the new forage
So, bear markets (Yeah!) Bear markets (Yeah!)
Gotta buy more Bitcoin now? (Hell yeah!)
Then flip it, hold it, buy that crypto dip
Bitcoin’s back
I buy big dips (with cash in hand)
You other stackers can’t deny (our bags expand)
HODL strong and tight (we’re in command)
We’re buying dips tonight (our gains are planned)
Bitcoin’s back
(Thanks ChatGPT)
USD-CNY going nuts.
NIKKEI crashing.
BRK dumping shares at fastest pace in history.
Massive instability in Middle East.
Continuing belligerence in RUS/Ukraine.
If the USG wants to engineer a flash crash in BTC, now would be the time…

A quick summary of the details of @SenLummis #Bitcoin Act.
Just put out a quick nostr:npub1t8a7uumfmam38kal4xaakzyjccht4y5jxfs4cmlj0p768pxtwu8skh56yu piece on today’s Chevron decision & thoughts on how it may impact Bitcoin mining:
Seems doable, basically a private mempool. Maybe something that could be done over Nostr, where a TX is broadcast to pools that are participating?
