I am boycotting these conferences too. Main speakers are a lot of government officials and it seems they threw out people with „Free Samourai“ signs. This is not the Bitcoin I advocate for.

Someone is losing his nerves and thinks that forking bitcoin and assigning Satoshi‘s coins to accredited investors is a good idea! Calling it Ecash! The next guy who thinks he can do it better. Have fun. View quoted note →

Governments and traditional financial institutions will fight P2P Bitcoin everywhere. What’s not regulated will be banned. Bitcoin gives security and security is a human right! Resist! View quoted note →

Building skills and everything on Claude Cowork at the moment, I assume this will happen too. That’s why I am setting it up so that I have the skills and all resources in folders on my computer and can exit anytime. View quoted note →

The financial industrial complex doesn’t like unregulated peer-to-peer exchange of money, because it endangers their profits. Our privacy and freedom is not in their interest. The authorities are complicit, because it’s all a system. View quoted note →

Seems to be voluntary (at the moment) 🤮

I set up Cowork to build .md files for my blog articles. I wanted it to create the formatting and structure, propose title and meta description. I trained it on 15 of my published articles - it immediately created 5 publishing ready long form articles in 5 min. When I write myself I need 3 days or more for a long form article. It’s convenient to use AI, but I want to hear from a human, not a machine that is puzzling things together. That’s why I write myself and then ask LLMs for logical failings and to enhance my English.

Your bitcoin on an exchange are not your bitcoin. Self-custody is the way.

Bitcoin != Crypto Crypto = Pump-and-Dump Bitcoin = Money & Savings

Crazy, and that on the „free speech platform X“. I am just writing an article about inflationary money on the example of Zimbabwe in recent years (after 2007-2009). Will for sure be published on my website and Nostr and then let’s see.

Francisco runs a skate school in Maputo. He now pays his instructors in bitcoin, because it works better than anything else available to him. I spent ten days in Mozambique, here is what happened:

Arc de Trump 🙄 I have heard that from someone else.

Stop your slop in my comments. I am muting one „expert“ like this after the other. View quoted note →

Of course the Iranians want #bitcoin the best money in the world. It’s neutral and they don’t need permission.

Wonderful to see how Humphrey, who I met at our first @Bitcoin for Fairness meetup in Zambia in 2022, evolved from being a part of @Bitcoin Zambia to become the co-founder of @Bitcoin Victoria Falls after I recommended him. I regard him as one of the best talents and educators in the space. View quoted note →

The world is so crazy right now - I checked out for a couple of days. Getting grounded. #Zimbabwe

Made up death of worlds oldest tortoise (194 years!) to scam people for crypto. Learnings: 194 years! And people will scam others with all kinds of stories and it will get worse with AI.

World’s oldest tortoise caught in viral crypto death scam

Fake X account posing as his vet sparked global false reports of Jonathan’s death while soliciting crypto donations

Frigate is still experimental. But it proves for the first time that silent payments wallets are practical for widespread adoption. This is not only a long overdue upgrade for Bitcoin wallets, but a significant step forward for privacy. Thank you @craigraw View quoted note →

Today’s headline in #Zimbabwe. „Your USD is very safe“. Whenever the central bank says your money is safe, trust that it’s the opposite. I haven’t seen any ZIG banknotes around, it’s only being used digitally (card payment or EcoCash). I am using USD cash only and everyone’s trust is on the USD. Now the RBZ wants to push ZIG banknotes upon people they will issue new banknotes on Apr 7. I will keep you posted!
