I'll say it again for anyone still listening: Bitcoin does not need politicians to succeed, it just needs them to get out of the fucking way. Carry on.

Looking to politicians for solutions is like shopping for perfume in a cesspool.

Pro tip: rooting for the political gang that promises you the most "number go up" is not a strategy for lessening their power over you, any more than voting for the prison warden will open the gates of freedom. Bitcoin, and now Nostr, are both technologies for recapturing your sovereignty and making politicians, whatever their craven power fantasies might be, irrelevant.

GM ☕ What if the "strategic bitcoin reserve" being fantasized about...is the one we had at home all along?

Has anyone checked in on Peter Schiff lately?

Voting is consent to the outcome and the system that produced it. Don't encourage the fuckers.

GM ☕ Nothing like the feeling of a morning coffee, a fresh editor window, and a new idea.

Pro tip: When the comet arrives, be the mammal, not the dinosaur.

Voting is deliberate consent to the outcome, explicitly granting your sanction to the status quo and the system of threats and force against you and others that back it up. It is difficult to argue against the injustices stemming from the people ruling over you when you have participated in and perpetuated the very thing that gives them oxygen.

So much space, so little time 🙂

GM ☕ There comes a time when it is better to know someone who knows something than to try to learn that subject oneself. It's great to have smart friends and colleagues to lean on.

If the success of Bitcoin and its ecosystem is still dependent on or even just affected by which politician or bureaucrat is in office, cypherpunks must write more code.
