If I led a brokerage/exchange selling #Bitcoin  or crypto offspring, I’d never be reliant on a vendor for money transmission licenses (re: PrimeTrust, BitGo, you name it). SOLID APPROACH: Stack money transmission licenses state-by-state (ie. #[1]​) LONG GAME: Support multi-state money transmission license *reciprocity* in the law. we’ve written a model bill for US state lawmakers that would do just that.

as well as: -forbidding Bitcoin mining electricity price discrimination -forbidding municipalities from outlawing Bitcoin transactions “Smart” bitcoin policy has less to do with proclamations that just sound good, and more to do with pre-emptions on government action and control that allow Bitcoin to grow independently and free. Bitcoiners don’t need new laws on bitcoin nor an SEC action, we need pre-emptions and restrictions on governmental power that recognize our “right to bitcoin” that is as vital as the First Amendment. Let people build, trade, and exchange freely.

The biggest, most influential bitcoin event in Europe ever, again!

Hey you lightning wizards, what does this mean? My node lost internet and power for a while, so I had a large channel close on me (weep), but it's just been hanging there for over a week now. The closing transaction already cleared mempool days ago I have one dust transaction waiting to also confirm, but the rate is probably way too low (can't see it on any mempool)

On TRT World’s TV program “The Newsmakers” I made the case for keeping social media + internet free from restrictive gov’t filtering/blocking “For The Children”. Stop internet censorship bills. Let teens learn and build online. Let parents, not governments, moderate online lives
