okay @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞

🤐Gag rules on Suspicious Activity Reports compel financial institutions to keep the fact that they're being investigated from customers. It's also principally how you're de-banked and never told the reason why. How about Bitcoin and crypto firms that custody your funds? A new Senate bill would apply the same for crypto institutions (+ custodians) and lower reporting threshold to just $2,000. This means bitcoin + crypto custodians would be more regulated than fiat banks. I will attempt to sum this up in an article opposing this bill, and I'll be sharing with the legislative staff of both of these Senators. We won't comply.

unsure what to think. I use both services, Proton and Standard Notes. Disintermediating these for both my communication and notes was always a strength. As with its acquisition of SimpleLogin, Proton is becoming more powerful as a privacy company, and integrating a lot of tools and services that could be beneficial for consumers. At the same time, it risks becoming a single point of failure for end-to-end encrypted services that many of us rely on. Standard Notes has a benefit of being open source and self-hostable, so I do hope this remains true going forward.

Visited the awesome Czech town of Brno this weekend, and it’s absolutely crazy how much you can buy w/ Bitcoin. Food deliveries, electronics, the local version of Amazon, ice cream, Chinese food, books, etc. Very possible to live on a bitcoin standard in many parts of the Czech Republic/Czechia. Helpful that Prague’s bitcoin community have been a fundamental part of adoption!

obv on my bday I drop an FTC opinion piece about FTC Chair Lina Khan being fawned over by Jon Stewart: "It’s telling that when asked of any "success," Khan only cites the layup Martin Shkreli case instead of what she’s staked her tenure on, namely breaking up Amazon, Meta and Google"

It’s not often that the head of a US federal agency is given the red carpet treatment on Comedy Central, but for Jon Stewart, it’s to be expected.
