Proud to support Sen. Mike Lee's No CBDC Act, to prohibit the Fed from ever minting, issuing, or requiring a Central Bank Digital Currency. Rather than offering separation of money and state as found in Satoshi’s innovation of Bitcoin, CBDCs merge the power of state and money in a programmable way that would be easily abused and prove harmful to individual liberty and financial freedom.

Now that the SEC’s SAB 121 has been rescinded, is it a bullish time for bitcoin banking? What will that look like? What does it mean for self-custody? Some ideas I sketched out for Bitcoin Policy Institute. Open to feedback!

Tomorrow, the Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on “debanking”. My organization, the Consumer Choice Center, submitted comments to the committee urging a repeal of the Bank Secrecy Act, which imposes financial surveillance that accelerates debanking, as well as violates our rights by doxxing our financial information without warrants to FinCEN. This can be practically done tomorrow by passing Sen Mike Lee’s “Saving Privacy Act”. Let’s GOOO

RFK: Elevating a well-heeled tort lawyer who's spent most of his career tearing down + obstructing free enterprise to lead a powerful agency like HHS should leave us petrified. My view in RealClear Politics on on why RFK's tort law background is the scarier element we haven't even cracked open. https://realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/01/29/with_rfk_golden_age_could_be_golden_cash-hungry_lawyers__152267.html

On Donald Trump’s last day of his first presidency in 2021, he issued pardons to several convicted political figures and rappers. In my hometown alt-weekly newspaper (Queen City Nerve), I argued at the time that the pardon of my former congressman, Robin Hayes, was the most undeserved, and it should have instead been granted to Ross Ulbricht, Edward Snowden, or Julian Assange. At least now, Ross has closure.

Opinion: The Robin Hayes Pardon Was Undeserved | Queen City Nerve

The pardon of former congressman and NC GOP chair Robin Hayes was a total and utter breach of the public trust, as were his crimes.

Saw a post somewhere about a guy running Bitcoin Core from his SanDisk Extreme SSD. What a great idea. Synced mine up the last few days. Everywhere I go now, I have a portable node. Takes a few seconds to sync, and just plugs in via USB-C and don't have to trust anyone else's node ever. I've toyed with using my own electrum server served out on the open internet, but I much prefer using a home node.
