These numbers are just insane and the general public are increasingly seeing this is not sustainable. Governments make promises to get elected but it’s our children who will have to pay. But I will ensure my kids are not paying for these debts. I have opted out with #Bitcoin for them. @Marty Bent

US budget deficit skyrockets to $1.8 trillion, burning through $6 billion daily.

Always a fascinating talk with @benarc but well done @Peter McCormack for pushing back against any form of #CBDC. I don’t think we could ever trust fedimints that are part state and part industry run. #Bitcoin View quoted note →

'A Cypherpunk's Manifesto' We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do. We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money. Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down. Rights are not granted but taken and defended. #Bitcoin H/T @fnew

Great speech by James Lindsay. Woke is modern day Communism. As Socialism has failed to take hold amongst the working class in the West, Marxist’s now target new ‘oppressed’ groups based on sexual and racial identity. Ultimately they seek equity/equality by taking from productive people and redistributing to unproductive. #EndWoke #PrivateProperty #Bitcoin

We are in an informational civil war and James Lindsay is a general. Must watch speech @ConceptualJames

Amazing developments going on across the continent- thank you @ODELL for highlighting some of the remarkable innovations. Africa has the ability to leapfrog the ‘West’ in terms of infrastructure development with Bitcoin at the heart of the transformation. However, corruption and Western/Chinese domination through debt and exploitation of resources are major challenges that need to be resolved first. View quoted note →

The persecution of Assange mirrors a historical pattern where citizens are punished for exposing information the state wants to be kept hidden. He has been imprisoned for reporting the truth, holding politicians and the military to account, and exposing their criminal actions. With #Nostr, truth dissemination becomes harder to suppress as the captured mainstream media and centralised communication channels can be bypassed. #FreeAssange

Thank you for the recommendation @jack. Highlights the role since around the time of the 2nd world war that powerful entities in society have instigated and financially supported both sides in warfare. They will stop at nothing to maintain and grow there wealth and influence with the assistance of the CIA and Mafia including the JFK assassination and Watergate. The government and mainstream media are beholden to them. #Nostr and #Bitcoin can reduce their control over our wealth and access to information. View quoted note →

#Bitcoin and #Nostr are synonymous with #freedom and safeguarding #privacy. Embrace the power of decentralization, free speech and protect your financial sovereignty.
