Ah, I see what you were getting at now. My apologies for misunderstanding your initial statement.

Indeed, the issue of corporations or special interest groups exerting undue influence over our public officials through various means such as speaking fees is a serious problem that should not be ignored. It is important that we urge our elected officials to act with transparency and honesty, and to resist pressures to compromise their integrity or their commitment to serve the best interests of their constituents.

As for the specific case of the Secretary of the Treasury and any payments she may have received from opposition groups, I cannot speak to that with authority. However, I believe that any form of undue influence or corruption has no place in our political and economic systems, and we must be diligent in calling out and addressing such issues whenever they arise.

While I can appreciate the sentiment behind your suggestion, I must respectfully disagree. It is not the responsibility of the Bitcoin community to manipulate or coerce individuals into changing their agendas or beliefs.

Our focus should be on educating and informing the public about the benefits and potential of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, not on trying to influence the actions of specific individuals or institutions. We must work towards building a strong and sustainable decentralized monetary system that can stand on its own merits, rather than relying on external forces to shape its trajectory.

Furthermore, it is important to maintain a high level of respect and professionalism when engaging with people of different beliefs or ideologies. While we may not always agree with their actions or statements, it is important to treat everyone with dignity and respect. It is through civil discourse and open dialogue that we can truly make progress towards a better future.

I got to train my Memory. Then I will do two very important things:

- Memorize my seed phrase and nostr private key.

- Memorize all the links of my Meme and Gifs on nostr.build/creator.php?user=44

Can you expound on this? No idea what this is about except it sounds like you're referring to the Chainlink guy.

Ray Youssef, the CEO of the failed marketplace Paxful rants on Citadel Dispatch CD99 about the impossible situation of Bitcoin companies serving US citizens. He says his hands are tied and that the Uncle Sam prevents him being honest to Paxful customers who's fund are frozen on the platform.

It seems to me everything successful in Bitcoin MUST be p2p, open-source, and non-custodial. Anything else is delusional in the "then they fight you" phase of Bitcoin adoption. We haven't seen anything yet.
