Today I officially became a citizen of Australia
An article I wrote on why Bitcoin rehypothecation should be illegal for TBTF banks now that SAB 121 was rescinded. And yes, I know, Bitcoin doesn't need laws. But I also know that all your grandmas will probably have exposure to Bitcoin through an ETF. So this is for all your grandmas.

Will have a read. Thanks
Fewer than 1% of S&P 500 companies currently hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet
BULLISH
Exposing the Lie of Inflation: How Money Printing Is Stealing Your Time and Energy
Jigs Jeffery and I discuss how money printing, inflation, and distorted metrics like CPI steal our time and energy.
Is inflation just a normal part of life? How is CPI calculated? Can Bitcoin protect us against monetary debasement?
Jigs Jeffery and I explore a Bitcoin technical analysis strategy that has outperformed professionally managed hedge funds over the last 2 cycles.
What metrics and data points are most important to track? How do you control your emotions when analyzing and trading?
Bridgewater’s Ray Dalio said on CNBC that he thought non-government money, including bitcoin, reduced risk in a portfolio.
He explicitly stated that he owned bitcoin and thought it was interesting.
Again, probably nothing…
Blackrock CEO Larry Fink said recently “if you are frightened of debasement of your currency…you can have an internationally based instrument called Bitcoin….I’m a big believer.”
Probably nothing…
That’s certainly one of the main reasons it will gain popularity
The ability to decipher what is real
Bitcoin re-engineers your brain
We need #encryption backdoors to 'enforce' democracy says Europol chief.
Says anonymity "not a fundamental right"
I disagree.
#Anonymity is part of the bedrock of protecting healthy dissent.
Forcing total government access to private communications lays the technical groundwork for undermining democracy.
But here we are. It's a new year, so cops & governments are taking fresh swings at encryption.
Only the scare tactics change.
Welcome to a new, cynical chapter in the fight to protect privacy.
Demanding them... when the worst recent national security breaches in the US happened... when #China hacked government-mandated backdoors... is also absurd.
There's every reason to believe something similar may have happened in #Europe , we just don't know it yet.
Shortsighted and cynical stuff.

Keep up the great work. Need to call this out for what it is
Power grab… “for your own good”. Ridiculous
“Nostr is just really exciting because there hasn't been any space to have any of these nuanced and difficult discussions and being able to really actually put them out there and not have the algorithms fuck with it in all kinds of ways.” — nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf
“Isn’t that refreshing that like when humans have absolute freedom or when a certain amount of humans have absolute freedom, they use it to just be chill with each other? It's like, it feels a lot better when you don't have the boot on your neck.” — nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs
Will have a listen for sure 👍
That was an awesome hike!
Without a pic though it’s hard to recollect
I meet a lot of nyms in person and have no idea who they are online!
