Yes

Maybe, because of Trudeau (hopefully he will go away soon). If you are talking about the tariffs, is not. Canada also has leverage, these tariffs are utterly dumb and Trump will come around.

The Rockefellers were an instrumental part funding the feminist movement. They figured that if they got women also chasing jobs, salaries would drop (supply and demand). It worked.

This whole process has really surprised me, but it’s good news, so excited to share!

In the summer of 2023, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) launched a Bitcoin Bounty program aimed at funding software developers to create new tools and features for Bitcoin tailored to the needs of dissidents and human rights advocates challenging authoritarianism worldwide. These bounties ranged from UX improvements to privacy upgrades and open-sourcing closed and permissioned systems.

There were 11 bounties in total, each with specific objectives. The deadline was Dec. 31, 2024.

We are excited to announce that every single bounty was claimed and that the resulting tools and upgrades are now empowering human rights activists daily across popular apps such as Blue Wallet, Zeus, Stack Wallet, Iris, Coracle, Keeper, Bull Bitcoin, Cake Wallet, and more.

This program highlights the impact of collaboration between human rights activists and software developers to create better tools for freedom. HRF is proud to have played a role in this effort and looks forward to continuing similar programs in the future. Special credit goes to the Oslo Freedom Forum, where much of the critical interaction between developers and activists occurred.

This wave of bounties was inspired by a successful pilot project in 2021, executed in partnership with Strike and Jack Mallers, which supported developers like Will Cassarin and Calle. Their innovations later gave rise to important advancements such as zaps in Nostr and the Cashu ecash protocol.

We learned a lot through this process and look forward to doing similar things in the future.

There’s so so much to be gained from mixing political dissidents with developers!

Fantastic!

I don’t think those tariffs will stay for too long. He will soon realize what a bad idea that is.

They should round the pointy end of their beloved dards too, just in case.

Well, she probably was asked about it given all the bitcoin reserves talks in other countries. Otherwise she would never have risen that subject. But indeed her answer seems aligned with her criminal past. Central bankers gonna central bank, and at this point, after 50 years of stealing purchasing power from the people, this is nothing but criminal.

Exactly that is what made me see the matrix for the first time back when covid. Bitcoin had already kind of cleaned up my glasses for me to see it. Since then I see the world in a completely different way. It is a disappointing sight sometimes, but liberating at the same time. There is no way back from that.

I mute all the calls from phone numbers that aren’t in my close contacts list. If it’s anything urgent or important, they will leave a message, of which I’ll get a text transcript. Most of the time they won’t.
