is Blackrock Bitcoin ETF a trojan horse for freedom? “In a world of increasingly centralized control and social engineering, Bitcoin provides a check by empowering the individual at the expense of the authority. Yes, billionaires and dictators can buy a lot of bitcoin, but they cannot control the system as they can with fiat money. Unlike with the dollar, euro, or yuan model, they cannot tweak issuance, censor transactions, make special rules or bailouts for the aristocracy, or perform mass remote confiscation or debasement.”

“the bitcoin standard plays to the strength of open societies, does not depend on dictators or fossil fuels, and is ultimately run by citizens, not the entrenched elite”

“Under the Bitcoin standard, everyone would play by the same rules. No government or alliance of governments can manipulate the monetary policy. But any individual can opt into a nondiscretionary, rules-based currency and control a savings instrument that has historically appreciated versus goods and services. This would be a dramatic net benefit for most people on Earth, especially when considering that billions today live under high inflation, financial repression, or economic isolation.” - Check your financial privilege, Alex Gladstein

Would the Soviet Union have survived longer without petrodollar?

After extra work and some support requests Lightning is working on the BTM! It took longer than I wanted, but it’s amazing how fast and smooth transactions are. Our lnd has channels with lightning wallets and that’s good for UX. We keep improving some things, but it’s a good start #BitcoinLake

#Coffeechain at Bitcoin Lake

Hey #Nostr! I’ve been volunteering at Bitcoin Lake, but money is always a problem. I’ve been planning to make some money with educational #Bitcoin Meetups in Guatemala City, but obviously I want to make them for free, but even going from Bitcoin Lake to Guatemala City has expenses. If you can help with some Zaps to make it free, I’d appreciate it. Newbies will be grateful!
