OMG 😧 thank you for sharing. I was shocked.

Bitcoin doesn't need governments to win. It doesn't need governments to stack it. It doesn't need to ask for help.

Instead, the bar is much lower. Bitcoiners, in their preferred jurisdiction, would benefit by not being hassled by their government. They'd like to be able to buy it without problems. They'd like to be able to pay for energy and equipment and mine it in peace. They'd like be able to write open source code without facing legal problems. They'd like to be able to operate reputable businesses related to it. If they can't, then some of them will move as necessary.

It's helpful for the ecosystem to have non-hostile jurisdictions in the world. And for those that can't move without great sacrifice (i.e. most people), it's helpful for them that whatever jurisdiction they are in, is non-hostile.

So it's good that bitcoin is getting into the Overton window. The industry has some power now. Bitcoin benefits from builders and educators and advocates. It benefits from those who do their best to prevent the worst legislative outcomes against self-custody, against privacy, against running a business, against mining, etc.

But Bitcoin doesn't need to pander to them to proactively support us, and bitcoiners should recognize the sliminess of politician incentives when they come to pander to us. While it's in their best interest to build national reserves if they actually figure this thing out, we don't need them to build reserves.

I think that's the helpful line. That's where the signal is. To the extent that we minimize how much we are tread on, and build multi-national accepting footholds to pivot around, we gradually build what we want to exist.

We ask to be treated fairly, we use our resources to help ensure that we are, and to the extent that we are not then we adjust as necessary.

I’m not familiar with the term. What is it?

Watching some of this bitcoin conference makes me .... less interested in bitcoin than ever before. Bitcoin feels like a SuperPAC, a lobbying group, or some other huge scummy political football.

What is the new edgy underground hacker thing that we should all be jumping ship into?

Excellent night in July #nostr

I had a dream about Kamala Harris..

she was dressed in white and blue Hindu style dress with a Chinese fan flair at the back of her head (quite large) and a big eagle buckle around her waist area. Her dress was made out of white and blue looked beautiful at first glance, but when you looked closely, it was made out of porcelain… and no red in her dress
