It is WILD how bad Boomers are at recognizing AI slop… You can show them a picture of Jesus riding a unicorn and they’ll be like “wow, where was this photo taken??”

"Why do you need privacy if you have nothing to hide?" With everything happening with the Samourai case, it feels like an appropriate time to share my opening remarks from Lugano Plan B this year... I discuss privacy, the totalitarian temptation, the purpose of the State and the Law, government overreach, and how to subvert the State with open-source freedom tech. Remember: if the State controls your money, the State controls you. Rights are not given, they are taken. Let us take them together. We own the future.

ON THIS DAY IN 2013: The term "HODLING" was born on Bitcoin Talk Seems like a fitting time to re-up this legendary post, given there are clearly a lot of of lettuce-handed tourists out there... Here is the original post: I AM HODLING I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell. so i've had some whiskey actually on the bottle it's spelled whisky w/e sue me (but only if it's payable in BTC) ---- P.S. it's pronounced "HODL" **not** "hoddle" Thank you for your attention to this matter.

“SECURITY CHECKED”: @M A D E X contraband given special treatment at the Canadian border…

well, this is stupid. must have been a decent sized payment too because i have a good amount of channel liquidity. honestly this is a great reminder that the average person will never use lightning in a non-custodial way. no one wants to dick around with balancing channels all the time. people just want to send and receive bitcoin fast and cheap.

Never sell your bitcoin... But absolutely do spend-and-replace your bitcoin. Also, sell your bitcoin if you need to. I don't give a fuck what you do with your money.
