The “China was ripping us off” is such a gaslight US policymakers intentionally designed a system where we could get cheap stuff and labor from China to reduce inflation and costs of living here in America The CCP has happy to play its part but this was intentional We aren’t a victim here, we got to buy unlimited stuff with debt issuance with China as the factory with lower wages that we could possibly have here Take China away and we have crazy inflation after the Great Financial Crisis Today the system is wobbling, and needs some kind of reset, but don’t let them fool you into thinking we were getting “ripped off”

Folks at my Hidden Repression book event in DC did a “reverse signing” for me — Attendees all signed a copy of my book with notes (the notes keep going for several pages) and gave it to me as a gift Big love back to these folks! 🧡 image

A fairly remarkable short BBC profile of Gridless's work using Bitcoin mining to convert stranded or wasted energy to value As we move forward, you'll slowly see more and more of this until eventually it is "mainstream" that Bitcoin is pretty much good and healthy for everyone and the planet Every new transformative technology encounters years or even decades of pessimism... Bitcoin will be no different

**For collectors of cool Bitcoin things** I am excited to announce the limited release of an anthology of my books and essays I have been working for a year with @Skyler on these He did an incredible job making each book a true work of art We produced 100 total copies, and 50 signed copies will go on sale at Scarce City on Monday at 12pm PT All proceeds will go to support open source devs via HRF’s Bitcoin Development Fund Link below :)
