Kevin O'Leary at @PUBKEY eschews self-custody and pumps up Coinbase. Obviously, we can't forget how central he was to the FTX saga as well...
After openly flirting with a Trump annexation of Canada and now this, my fellow Canadian Kevin O’Leary is 0-2 so far this year

just installed a cloudflare tunnel as a workaround for super complicated port forwarding. Just wow. What a product
Wanted to upgrade one of my NAS devices for some time. One of my computers i use for this is overkill: a gaming computer with 32GB, modern GPU, and sucks up a lot of power.
Had my eye on the LincPlus N1, and especially since Unraid is the base OS.
Come to find out you can "kickstarter" back the LincPlus N2 for cheaper than you can buy the N2 today. Not bad! Should deliver in April

I’ve professed skepticism to a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for philosophical reasons. Bitcoin is meant to be a decentralized network for the people.
But the junior varsity arguments against any mainstreaming of bitcoin are just as juvenile as the NGU artists on X.
Change my mind.
cashu emojis? love it

Massey brings Ross to the State of the Union 

I was asked by Steve Gruber, one of the top syndicated radio hosts in the US, why Trump was interested in Bitcoin. Here's my response
Face aux tarifs, les dommages collatéraux pour les consommateurs seront désagréables, brutaux et douloureux.
Les représailles seront encore pires.
Tout ce que nous voulons, c'est la paix et la liberté d'échange.
Il n'y a ni sauveurs ni vainqueurs dans une guerre commerciale.
I like @Trey Walsh and @Margot Paez / jyn urso and I'm very happy they're pivotal figures in political Bitcoin. We need them and many others.
My interview on Trump's Bitcoin (eh crypto) Strategic Reserve with Steve Gruber, advocating for Bitcoin on right-wing TV/radio
“Oh bury me, then rise ye up
And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants’ blood
The freedom you have gained.
And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me.”
Doomed.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Marxist theory I see indirectly invoked over and over again in debates is false consciousness.
I still believe this denies the agency people have in their thoughts and actions
Very happy to work with Sen. Mike Lee to promote and endorse the "Saving Privacy Act" to better ensure financial privacy in the US.

–Drastically reforms Bank Secrecy Act
–Repeals Corporate Transparency Act
–No CBDCs
–Requires warrants for any bank data
–Gives citizens rights to sue the government for illegal snooping
–Restricts gov't ability to issue major financial rules

View quoted note →I’m not a famous person and I’m certainly not an influencer, so fuck this person trying to scam people using my likeness.
I don’t know what they’re DMing people or what they’re promising them. TBH I’m impressed they have more followers than I do.
If you are an X user, please, do me a favor and report this asshole account. I would do the same for you.
This post on nostr, using my NIP05 address and identity, should be the confirmation needed that I am who I say I am.
