Someone recently asked if I was happy.

Sure, I'm grateful to be so privileged that I'm likely in the top 0.1% of humans with regard to quality of life.

But I'm not satisfied. I can not relax until I see the authoritarians driven before me and I delight in the lamentations of their sycophants.

My griefing attack on Bitcoin testnet has resulted in over 165,000 blocks (3 years worth) generated in the past week. 😏

Had to remove half a dozen dead links from my resources site thanks to the Samourai seizure.

RIP OXT charts, metrics, and landscapes 😐

In 2014, Obama's lawyers insisted a president had the right to extrajudicially assassinate Americans.

10 years later, Trump's lawyers are basing political assassination assertions on the same argument.

If a self custody wallets are money transmitters under this interpretation then how are ISPs NOT money transmitters?

Neat cheat sheet!

On the bright side, as far as I can tell, no one who was using Whirlpool actually lost their money when the feds shut down the coordinator. 👏🏻

Privacy is not a crime.

But apparently if you dare to earn money by helping others improve their financial privacy, that's a crime. 😐

Thanks to folks overloading the term "regarded" to route around censorship, now whenever I see someone using it for the original meaning, I have to do a double take and use context clues to determine which meaning is intended. 🤡

Fuck Reddit

Privacy is not a crime!

It's fascinating to see how the remaining few Bitcoin Cash supporters continue to delude themselves.

Some Bitcoiners are so blinded by their hatred of altcoins that they recommend "pure" KYC services over "impure" non-KYC services. 🤡
