I just took this picture. This is the wife of one of the Samourai developers who is now in jail for having written code. She walked up to a talk that Eric Trump was giving and held up a sign that said Free Samourai. It's a true image of dedication, love and free speech. If you think we should have the ability to do private transactions on Bitcoin, or even if you just feel that this imprisonment is unfair, support her.

Bitcoin Conference Ticket Givaway! I've been invited to speak at Bitcoin Las Vegas 2026 on a panel called "Bitcoin vs. The Surveillance State" on Wednesday 3:30pm - Genesis Stage. I won't be holding any punches for this one and focusing on open source privacy solutions like NOSTR.  I've been granted one free ticket for "friends and family" and well, we are all friends here - so I'm asking for your help:  I want to know what your biggest issue is with intrusive government surveillance is and why.   I'll be giving away the free ticket to whoever boosts this post (so more people see it) and whoever writes the most interesting or thought provoking reply.  (no spaghetti slop from AI please). Choice of who wins is made April 11th.  Looking forward to a good discussion. Don't let me down, Nostr Fam!
