Since we're all busy celebrating that Ross will be free Day One, did you know that the US Government is using Ross' conviction to go after Tornado Cash?

In the Tornado Cash case, the government directly cites the Silk Road prosecution, arguing that neither Ross, nor Roman Storm, needed to have conspired with the users of their software to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.

The Government calls Storm's and Ulbricht's cases "analogous" – and its the same argument applied to convict Roman Sterlingov.

Unless Ross' conviction is overturned, anyone developing software that the Government doesn't like is fair game.

The dangerous precedent his conviction set will continue to be used to be used by the US Government to overstep its boundaries and hold software developers accountable for crimes they did not commit.

Ross Ulbricht should never have been in prison. And neither should others prosecuted under the same flawed argumentation.

Freeing Ross is not enough. Overturn US v. Ulbricht day one.

We're about to have a Canadian flippening. Bitcoin is close to surpassing the market cap of the Canadian dollar.

I'll say that again, Bitcoin will soon store more economic value than the entire currency of my country. I suppose it's not surprising, given how easily our money can be frozen and seized.

Here’s my I have only had 5 hours of sleep take on Donald Trump’s win.

This election was about class. Once upon a time, class and identity were separated as the neoliberal era took hold. Democrats capitalized on identity and it worked for a while. But as our guest on @TPBPod, Alan Minsky, noted… Neoliberalism is dead. We have to realize that these new alliances that are forming under Trump are not only odd bedfellows, but because they are, they signify a new cultural and political power shift.

I have been watching this happen since Bernie ran in the 2016 primary. The coalition is building beyond race among the working class. A unity that the left could only dream of. Yet, this is not an empowerment of the working class in the way that we’d envision. I don’t believe that this will end in a worker revolution where the proletariat owns the means of production.

I don’t because this is a coalition of the working class with a different faction. This isn’t the traditional corporate-state-capitalist alliance that has coalesced in the Democratic party. This is an alliance of those who feel powerless, with those who want absolute power.

I am not sure where we are headed, but if Lawrence Wilkerson is right, this is dark.

The liberals will have yet again made it possible for the worst outcomes to happen. The left progressives (a wide umbrella that covers a coalition of socialists and center-left), unable to unite to stop the Democrats, are at their most powerless.

I really ask Democratic supporters, to wake up. We are a country that has been living three different experiences simultaneously. And just now, two roads have merged into one.

I have traveled so much around the US and the world this year. I truly believe that in the US, we have two countries in one. There’s two cultures thar have developed as a result of rural isolation and gross economic inequality. For those who have, identity issues are the only remaining issues. For those who do not, identity is the least important. It makes sense. Then we have the ultra rich, who saw an opportunity to exploit this. This where the danger now exists.

I wish I could tell you what happens next. But, what I do know is that the probabilities of socio-economic and political disasters are much higher now than ever before.

The left must find a way to bring the workers back. But I am afraid that the left has become mainly the highly educated who do not understand the worker’s plight.

And what of bitcoin? Bitcoin works no matter what but also because of what happens next. It is both a deterrent and an accelerant. We have skin in the game.

MSM never misses do they?

From 2025 on visitors to Kenya must declare the IMEI of their phone at entry!! With this obligatory declaration Kenyan authorities can track everyone in realtime.

The IMEI is the unique identifier of your device, you can not change it. As soon as you use a SIM card / or eSim - these have their own unique IDs as well, which then are associated with your IMEI. This is a global standard.

Being Nostr only I’ve pretty much entirely avoided election bullshit.

Feels good man.
