Weaponized accelerationism is too dark for this timeline
#Bitcoin is a neutral, decentralized, apolitical, censorship-resistant form of currency that cannot be debased, defaulted, or dispossessed. Built on an immutable and transparent monetary policy algorithm, a permissionless database secured by an incentived consensus mechanism that serves as a property protection & power projection protocol.
#Bitcoin is the only blockchain that unites money with energy itself.
#Bitcoin is open source money based on an open source network secured by a geographically agnostic energy bounty that serves as an open borders molecule-to-marketplace that powers modular, circular economies accessible anywhere to anyone at anytime.
#Bitcoin guarantees everyone has the human right to own a Swiss bank account in their head without permission from a CEO, corporation, conglomerate, cartel, committee, commission, church, cult, country, or counterparty.
#Bitcoin is the icon of self-sovereignty: the pursuit of transparency, accountability, and privacy. No rulers, just rules.
#Bitcoin is the largest nonviolent resistance movement and the most universal act of civil disobedience in history that is anti-Monopoly, anti-Tyranny, and anti-Bullshit.
I vote with my dollar.
I buy the truth and I never sell it.
My vote is my right and my voice and my code is my speech.
#Bitcoin is my first amendment freedom of speech and my right to consent, privacy, private property, contentious objection, self-defense, and censorship resistance.
#Bitcoin is my right to exercise my freedom from the monopoly of violence, freedom from debasement, freedom from silent taxation without representation, freedom from fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
#Bitcoin is distributed freedom money of the people, by the people, for the people.
Fiat is broken, and we can’t fix it.
#Bitcoin works, and no one can break it.
Happy ₿elated ₿irthday Gary Larson!
This poem by Ken Saro Wiwa is good enough to be a #nostr anthem.
Self-sovereignty is a fundamental human right. My freedom of expression includes my freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and freedom of conscience.
#BTC & #Nostr is Anti-Monopoly, Anti-Tyranny, Anti-Bullshit.
Have you heard of a “Minsky moment”?
Because that’s one scary sentence…
The 1st Amendment means we have the right to provide safe, nonviolent spaces to express freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and freedom of conscience.
Every potential collective problem we will ever have on this earth will either be solved by war or words.
Therefore, we have a human right to speak our hearts & minds and we have a responsibility to humanity to listen.
“Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto”
No-coiners don’t realize the Nakamoto Consensus is the closest thing we got to capital T Truth given the fact it’s used to secure the most objective database in human history.
My #Bitcoin is rather worried for the $13 in my fiat checking account right now.
I’ve done Irish showers (start cold, end hot) for the last 7 years. That voluntary step into cold water blasting my face is the hardest thing I do every morning but swallowing that toad is my way of starting the day with a W.
But this year I bought an Ice Pod and started doing ice plunges. Started at 35 degrees Fahrenheit and gradually moved down. Found my limit after literally breaking the ice one morning and ice plunging in 32 (0 C) water for 90 seconds.
Listen: My body was on absolute FIRE afterwards (one of the best feelings EVER) for a good 5 minutes but my fingers were numb for 12 hours.
So, everything in moderation (including moderation) but I’m still convinced heat/cold therapy is one of the best protocols for cardiovascular health and longevity.

Every #Bitcoiner must pass through the 5 stages of fiat grief.
While you were busy making fun of the UK for criminalizing free speech, the UN finalized its Cybercrime Convention which will overrule bank secrecy and criminalize hacking, whistleblowing, and security research.
The convention, which was finalized last friday, drastically expands government surveillance powers and enables the widespread sharing of personal data between UN member states.
The convention mandates the identification, tracing, confiscation and seizure of "proceeds of crime, property, equipment or other instrumentalities" and the collection of real-time traffic and content data on behalf of requesting member states.
It further mandates member states to establish criminal offences for "the concealment or disguise of the true nature, source, location, disposition, movement or ownership of or rights with respect to property" and "the conversion or transfer of property [...] for the purpose of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of the property" when committed intentionally.
As the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains, the convention includes "documents saved on personal computers or notes stored on digital devices. In essence, this means that private unshared thoughts and information are no longer safe. Authorities can compel the preservation, production, or seizure of any electronic data, potentially turning personal devices into spy vectors regardless of whether the information has been communicated".
While the treaty defers most articles to the governance of local laws, it states that states "shall not decline to act [...] on the ground of bank secrecy".

CODE is SPEECH is FREEDOM.
Big Brother can go fuck the fuck off.
I like how this St Louis Fed post blames people for banks’ failings.
Flip it around. Banks irresponsibly created way more claims for gold than they had gold, kept defaulting, and lost trust. So the government made gold illegal to own for like 40 years.
There was no “shortage” of gold in the Great Depression. There was an excessive amount of fraudulent promises for gold, made by commercial banks and central banks.

It almost seems like fractional reserve banking is just a lemon party between usury, seigniorage, and infinite money printing?
Self-sovereignty is anti-tyranny and anti-Monopoly. #HODL in #BTC & we starve late stage capitalism & choke the military industrial complex & bury the creature from Jekyll island & blind the eye of Moloch—the most peaceful revolution known to humanity fights back and wins simply by recruiter more and more ₿elievers to hodl the one asset to rule them all.
Don’t shout at the #Bitcoin.
There is no second best crop

Does #Bitcoin help us see the future before it arrives?
