My BPI keynote "Bitcoin is the Most Important Human Rights Technology of the 21st Century" Delivered in the heart of DC Please share with normies who don't think Bitcoin has a use case. We have A LOT of work to do, most people think this way But we WILL win in the end

We live in a timeline where the leader of the issuer of the world reserve currency A) Is promoting “pay me in Bitcoin” MoE narratives B) Thinks Bitcoin is “taking pressure off the dollar”

Main reflection every time I go to DC: It is astonishing how much damage the term “crypto” has done as a one size fits all category The worst altcoin scam promoters are lumped in THE SAME meetings and treated with the same cordiality with Bitcoin miners and stablecoin issuers. All the time. Congressmen and women scammed by SBF are weary of “crypto” - and they are right! We need to be specific “Crypto council” type constructs are silly. Why should Bitcoin miners have to share a table and discuss fart coin? Completely unrelated to what they do Huge respect to BPI for pushing in this direction, their name alone means and does a lot There should be Bitcoin meetings, legislation, working groups etc which exclude affinity scammers or anyone not working on Bitcoin

The nostr manifesto 🫡

What a city

Bitcoiners entering the belly of the beast (Also NGL stepping outside felt like opening an oven)

Taking off for DC Exhibit A why I like California Pilot: “I wish the weather was like here, but it’s going to be 97 degrees around 5pm, and it’ll feel like 105 degrees” Great suit weather 😅

Superb storytelling from HRF global bitcoin lead @Femi Longe about how new Lightning-powered apps like @Tando.me make it possible for anyone to live fully on a Bitcoin standard in a country of Kenya (55 million people) but interact with the fiat system whenever they need to buy goods or services from a merchant who doesn't understand Bitcoin yet Need a taxi? Pay in Bitcoin Need mobile minutes? Pay in Bitcoin Groceries? Pay in Bitcoin Paying someone for a small job? Pay in Bitcoin And the merchant receives the local fiat, instantly One day, they'll choose to receive Bitcoin. But we don't need to force that, or to wait for that, to dramatically expand freedom for people today

A good hat for a night like tonight Keep building 🫡

In honor of go skate day ✌️

It is hard to believe people take this stuff seriously
