Another US war in the middle east, what could go wrong? 
Happy Juneteenth, the most libertarian holiday of the year!
All my Chinese silver was seized at airport customs, can't take it out of the country. A climactic end to my journey around northeast china. At least they let me ship it to my grandpa's house back in China. If I knew this beforehand I wouldn't have bought hundreds of coins, would have just gotten a couple. Almost missed my flight running through customs to the post office
Found a Republic of China era manhole cover in ShenYang. This manhole cover has seen the Chinese Civil War, creation of the People's Republic of China, the Great Leap Forward, The Cultural Revolution, 64, and is still chugging along. 
Drinking with locals at my hostel in china, and wow, did not expect the two CCP members I was with to have such contrarian views of history, politcs, and the chinese economy. The best conversations are at 2am over a cold beer on a street shop. 
I'm in buttfuck nowhere China. Life is slow here, there's no subway or flashy skyscrapers with neon lights. There's 30+ dog meat restaurants and street vending is still legal. You can smoke inside restaurants and wearing a seatbelt is optional. Life moves on, day by day, year by year
Joined 7 random Chinese people in playing uno at the hostel, total American cultural victory
Visited Unit 731 where Japanese scientists experimented on and murdered thousands of Chinese, Korean, and Soviet civilians during their occupation of China. The Japanese would send dissidents, civilians and homeless people here and purposely infect them with diseases, freeze them alive, and then gas or vivvisect them to study. 
I love how twitter thinks I'm in North Korea when im actually in north east china 🤣 
Boarding a flight to Harbin, China. Lots of legroom since the flight is 80% empty. 
In Korea, there are few public trash cans but little littering. In the US, there are trash cans everywhere yet the trash is always outside the trash cans. Guess I'll hold this popscicle stick until I get back to the hotel 🤣
So Korean parks can have bench presses and workout equipment........

Forgot my pre flight selfie but I just landed in Seoul for Bitcoin seoul, looking forward to speaking about Bitcoin, human rights, and FOSS funding! 
Words cannot describe how lit the open source stage was at Bitcoin Vegas. Pure signal, full of devs, not live streamed. Freedom Go Up personified.
The main stage was Fiat suits, politicians, and shitcoin scammers. Diseased brains filled with Number Go Up, the same people who tell you to use a credit card and hodl your Bitcoin. The only talk I listened to there was Ross. 
Glad all the number go up Fiat brain people left after Saylor finished talking before Ross took the stage. Freedom Go Up is what we live and fight for.
Was a pleasure to speak on the main stage about The Critical Role of Funding Bitcoin Open Source Development. Free Samurai!
Found a HD 4k photo of @calle 
Fiat brained people can't understand freedom go up. They care about number go up and pumping their fiat gains. They don't care about liberating billions from dictatorships or central bank enslavement. Thankfully they can't stop us from building, we will only grow stronger.
