The U.S. taking equity stakes in companies, not just Intel but others too, isn’t “capitalism with taxpayer upside.” It is the state tightening its grip on industry. Centralized control of corporations has a long and dark history, and it never ends with prosperity or freedom. This is not winning. This is a warning.

Sometimes the universe aligns around a protocol. Today I created a Nostr account, jumped into the 21M BitChat, and shared my npub. Out of nowhere I got my first zaps. The first money I’ve ever made on the internet. No ads, no gimmicks, and definitely no OnlyFans. Just permissionless protocols and cool people. Thank you all for the warm welcome ⚡
