Crypto and liberty. Living on crypto since 2015. Free State Project mover, content creator at Digital Cash Network, writer for Human Events .

Conservatives will talk about deporting all undocumented immigrants, yet will say that a US state seceding isn't feasible.

There are more illegal immigrants in the US than people living in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts combined. 🤯

Great show on Friday, the Dash Incubator is doing great things!

Elon open-sourced the Twitter algo.

Crypto open-sourced money and finance.

Wikipedia and YouTube open-sourced learning.

Wait until we open-source government! 🤯

Had almost as much fun making the thumbnail of Elizabeth Warren as I did with the show. Thanks Carlos!

SOme of my finer work 😀but the jokes write themselves at this point

I'm done trying to live on crypto. Too hard. From now on I'm only using Venezuelan bolivars.

Live with Carlos Cano talking about Elizabeth Warren's war on crypto!

Political battle lines are being drawn around crypto. It's the issue of our time. Which side are you on?

I post a lot of Bitcoin and Lightning Network critiques, but please don't get me wrong: I love Bitcoin.

It launched the crypto revolution, I use it (and Lightning) today, and would be less critical if there were no alternatives.

Six years later, I'm still as involved and excited as I was back then, both about crypto broadly and Dash specifically. What a wild ride!

The value of privacy on crypto (and fiat, let's be honest) is going to go from 0 to 100 very quickly, mark my words!

This Friday at 4pm EDT/8pm UTC Rion Gull and AJ ONeal come on the Dash Podcast to talk about the Dash Incubator. Really pumped for this one. The Incubator has had a breakout year from the Maya integration to resurrecting Electrum and Anypay, and many more coming.

Money is fungible value exchange. Not everything we value, however, is fungible.

Favors between close friends are non-fungible tokens. The more you know! 🧠😁

I remember the 90s, and it's insane how indistinguishable the world today is getting from then. It's almost a full-time job just keeping adapted to the modern world.

Anyone know someone who's familiar with the various CoinJoin implementations across different cryptos? I'm specifically looking at Decred's CoinShuffle++, Bitcoin Cash's CashFusion, and Bitcoin's Samourai Wallet, but any other major ones work too.

I'd like to compare and contrast them and basically try to find the best one and find ways others can be improved. Let me know!

Great chat with Seth For Privacy last Friday: detailed, nuanced, and offering a fresh perspective on privacy and Zcash that I think we can all benefit from 🍻

I have no respect for the boomer "bUt WhAt If ThE eLeCtRiC gRiD gOeS dOwN" take on crypto. If the grid goes down, your shiny rocks will be worthless. And most "preppers" are out-of-shape LARPers who would get eaten first in a societal collapse scenario.

The reality is, it's much more likely that governments will ban cash and crank up financial surveillance, censorship, and block off-ramps. Learn to use crypto today so you don't end up in a dystopian world you keep praying (unsuccessfully) collapses someday.

Had a blast with Nicole as always. But the tiara probably already told you that.
