Are the risks to cold storage real as it seems in the U.S or will the Bitcoin and privacy advocates defeat the push to take away our privacy? I'm uneasy with the idea of taking some of my Bitcoin of exchange when stuff like the patriot act in regards to Bitcoin and private/anonymous transactions are facing such hard times right now. The script has flipped recently when I thought we were headed towards better regulations regarding privacy.

To those with the money and/or power to change things in this world. Is what your doing making things better or worse?

What need Bitcoiners to help those that are stuck in the fiat trap, not out of choice but out of the perceived necessity. Example scenario: Bob, can't ever afford to keep, or buy Bitcoin because he seems to only ever have enough money to cover his ongoing necessities (paycheck to paycheck, being tapped out). This is where I would suggest looking at ways you can save money or stretch out expenses (not long or too significantly) so you can exchange into Bitcoin, although it won't seem like much, it doesn't matter because you always have to live within your means and adjust to your economic factors. Don't let Bitcoin podcasters cause you FOMO, that's extremely important. They give you the news and use that to keep yourself informed of the health of the Bitcoin network, nothing more. Time your buys, however large or small, based on your own movement research.

I'm a freedom of speech absolutist because otherwise you're basically policing thoughts, saying that whomever hears a call for violence has no ability of their own to say no.

Fannie and Freddie Mae may be the best bet right now (stock wise) and hold onto it. Oh and Bitcoin #1 of course.

People don't seem to understand how freedom of speech applies to them in this country. It applies in your private life but it doesn't protect you from your employer or school punishing you for something you say that doesn't represent their goals. That's a different bubble protected by internal regulations and rules.

Of course NY Times blames everything under the sun (especially Trump) besides the root of the problem. College in th America is a scam, a money trap and throwing out lazy ideologically driven brainwashed sheep. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/business/long-term-unemployment-college-grads.html

Trust me, rich people want everyone but themselves dead and they're rapidly closing in on that goal. Population control through surveillance, through digital currency. Through ID4D the World Bank will use their debt slavery model to achieve this for their rich club.

Any petitions going around that I can sign to fight back on this Patriot Act bullshit?

Is there a hack on Nostr or something? When I go to post a comment a message pops up saying this relay requires a one-time zap but when I exit out of it the comment posts anyway.
