As I've been telling you; if Bitcoin is money then software is money and writing software will be regulated. The Tornado Cash conviction is the most recent excrescence of this abominable nonsense.

This was absolutely inevitable. If money is software, then the writing of software has to be regulated if you regulate money. This is fundamentally...

This is an example of the great danger of computer illiterate judges simply making things up when delivering a judgement. By this, all BitTorrent developers, and the Linux distros that distribute clients, are culpable for the uses Linux and BitTorrent are put to. It's insane to anyone who can think... And that's the problem in a nutshell, isn't it?

It would be a good idea to for “Bitcoiners” to buy a map, and study what “Jurisdiction” means. Whenever you hear an American say, “things are bad in Bitcoin”, several things are inevitably true. They think America and its “SEC” are the only powers on Earth. They refuse to name the enemy that causes their fear; “The State”. People like this can never solve problems because they’re psychologically incapable of imagining a world where their beloved State is smaller. These people were never truly aligned with Bitcoin’s aims; they think the purpose of Bitcoin is “decentralisation”. It is not. The purpose of Bitcoin is replacing fiat, not to act as a perfect expression of a database software problem. And Bitcoin has no aims; it is not a person. People have aims, and if your aim is X it’s up to you to make it so. If you refuse to face reality, other people who do, will, and you’ll be drowned out. And even if Bitcoin was perfect to their standards, it would still be corrosive to the power of the State, and distribution and dissemination of it into the economy would remain a problem (app stores)…or do these delusional people believe the State will throw its hands up and walk away, “because distributed”? You’ll still be an enemy of the State, and a target, even with a perfect Bitcoin, silly little boy. The level of delusion, infantilism, brainwashing and just plain silliness on constant display is shocking and perplexing. If it were not for the bright future coming it would be depressing. You the observers can choose to listen to the negative Bitcoin Cult members, and wallow in the pool of misery they sit and stew in that they want to drag you all down into. Or you can go boldly into the future with real Bitcoiners and step into the bright future with them. Easy choice Droogies!

Elon can post the vidya below, and yet, he thinks Bitcoin is a bad thing “because of the environment” and Doge is a serious alternative. AI electricity consumption is set to become greater than that of Bitcoin, (and aluminium production already is) but these are unquestioned…why? Not only does Bitcoin come under unwarranted scrutiny and hysterical innumerate criticism, but the truth about its consumption is thrown out (Bitcoin doesn’t waste electricity https://medium.com/@beautyon_/bitcoin-doesnt-waste-electricity-649694ea3605 and neither does AI or any other use) irrationally…why? I’ll tell you why. The fundamental problem expressed in this clip is that people are weak, incapable of grasping scale, afraid of themselves and desperate to push responsibility for all events in their lives onto (((them))). This is the reason why the irrational and illogical “Freedom of Speech Not Reach” is the policy on X. This is why Bitcoin is shunned by Elon, rather than being fully incorporated into X. This is why it was proposed that blocking and “likes” be removed. Irrational people don’t like facts, shun reality, don’t like being challenged by hard to accept truths, and will do anything to silence people telling the truth. This is not a new characteristic of man, obviously. The worst part is that they drape the cloak of “Science” around their shoulders to appear logical, fair, modern and reasonable. They are none of those things. They are unreasonable, unreasoning, illogical, unscientific, emotional and utterly wrong. They don’t follow Science; they’re cultists in Scientism. They don’t believe in free speech, or the truth. They’re not for mankind; they’re the enemies of man. This is exactly why Bitcoin is so desperately needed. The world would be much better off with a monetary system permanently free of the control of this class, where irrationality is excluded and immutable discipline is imposed.

TERRIBLE flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and our friends from Rolante (the biggest Bitcoin adopting community in the world rn) need your help.👇 If you can give any aid in any way, including Bitcoin, I'm sure they would find it a great blessing. With Bitcoin, it is now possible to send very small amounts, arbitrary amounts, to help in emergency situations, and Bitcoin was MADE FOR THIS. If you are in Brazil you can send PIX, obviously, but being Bitcoiners you have a special power at your fingertips to help people in need. If everyone in Bitcoin who is on Lightning sent a few dollars, this would be not only a very great act of charity, but would also send a signal about how useful Bitcoin is. 6 hbitcoinrolante Confira abaixo como ajudar 👇 PIX 👉 51.299.707/0001-81 BITCOIN via Lightning 👉 enchenterolante@coinos.io BITCOIN via onchain 👉 bc1q4w3mc5uztsznk6v64hwj097umr3p4cepayt6d3 instagram.com/reel/C6gtbUKLk…

COPA coming to Samourai’s defence is what I expect to see announced next. This is a historic case that will determine the future of Bitcoin. The high stakes Samourai case is no different to Bernstein v. United States, and requires a final, definitive answer to the fundamental (already answered) question, “What is the true nature of all cryptographic operations taking place in computers?”. And Bitcoin is simply math being performed in computers, and it is literally nothing more than that. The same arguments for Bernstein, and Phil Zimmerman’s case (http://www.skypoint.com/members/gimonca/philzima.html) apply to Samourai, and the same defences should work if The Constitution hasn’t changed. And it hasn’t. If COPA do not rise to this challenge and defend the underdog, then the floodgates will be opened for the missapplication of money laws to all Bitcoin operations no matter what they are. At the fundamental level, Bitcoin is speech. This is not “Semantics”; this is a plain statement of fact, established in law. Everything you do in Bitcoin is protected speech. If you believe that this event applies only to “mixing”, you are mistaken. The simple act of “moving” Bitcoin from one address you are known to control and are registered with, to another address that is an “unregistered Bitcoin address” could be construed as a criminal act in the future if COPA don’t kill this. And I hope they kill it. With fire. @opencryptoorg

As predicted, eventually someone with laser focus (not laser eyes) will enter the Bitcoin market, and make the process of controlling and using Bitcoin as easy as WhatsApp, without compromise or the need for any education. Bitkey is the first global scale company to achieve the hardest part of this. The focus - very sharp, the user experience - extreme simplicity. By removing all "thought barriers" from its operation, people using this device and service can just get on with using Bitcoin. That's more important than anything. It is a beautiful mix of safe storage and everyday use. The vast majority of users on Earth will never read about Bitcoin just as they have never read about SSL or POP3, but everyone is using the web and email. This has to happen in Bitcoin for it to reach and touch everyone, and it has to reach and touch everyone for it to do the work it was designed to do. This development, like Bitcoin itself, starts off quietly, then all of a sudden, it's everywhere, with the side effect of forcing everyone to rise to its high standards. As it was with the iPhone, before it, all phones had mechanical push button keyboards. Then, seemingly all of a sudden they were all relegated to the dustbin, and the expectation was "keyboardless". You're seeing the beginning of something like that here with Bitkey. This single event could be the beginning of the very much needed sea change in the thinking behind delivering Bitcoin services to the public. Well done that Bitkey team!

People who vote based on sad family stories recounted in tear jerk biographies rather than policy, The Constitution and ethics should not have the vote at all.

“Perhaps one of the more annoying twitter archetypes is the guy who replies to you with some surface level take some podcast f5g or grifter said in the past year like it’s some kind of revelation or counter to what you’re saying. You are not smart enough to to have this conversation, go back to jerking off to some midwit e celeb. I’ve seen this type of guy here way too often for it to be a one off. People are genuinely this unintelligent, and arrogant enough to parrot lines without understanding anything they’re talking about. This is quite literally how leftist movements cascade but now I’m seeing it on the right to a previously unseen extent. Maybe it was always there and I just had too much misplaced faith but to me something has changed. If we claim victory but this is the cost, what do we gain but our own defeat? A question that must be asked.” https://x.com/EndDemocracy/status/1702203345329377710?s=20

The future will be planned, developed and run by men and women with guts who build and invest in companies that build the future. This has always been true. Open Source is not a cult or a hat you can wear while you gush on a “Podcast” or hide in a ghetto echo chamber. History shows that Closed Source Software can dominate because the public has no interest in “Open Source”, and most advocates for it can’t put aside their pride to push companies that refuse to pander to infantilism and nonsense. Winning in the market means embracing the rules of the market; that means promoting the good guys if you have a voice, not just Virtue Signalling to your audience. It means building companies and serving people, not just talking about it endlessly. Thankfully there are a handful of men and women who understand this and who are making the sacrifices required so that others can claim success for other people’s work. This is true in Bitcoin obviously. No one cares that it is Open Source, and if a closed source copy comes to market that harms consumers, “CBDCs”, just as Micro$oft dominated, CDBCs will dominate…but don’t feel bad; fanboys will post on Nostr from their Windows laptops that “THE OPEN SAUCE REVOLUTION IS COMING!”. People who refuse to promote Bitcoin companies but cheer on the names of the tools and philosophies and who refuse to invest in companies are the sort of person you should strive not to be, if you want to see the problems Bitcoin was written to fix get solved. And by the way, those problems can be solved by closed source tools; it’s a safe bet that most of the people drooling over Open Source and requiring it for their tools are not developers and can’t write “Hello World” in C. SOMEBODY has to be realistic SOMEBODY has to face the problems head on SOMEBODY has to take things seriously SOMEBODY has to stop playing to the peanut gallery Make sure that somebody is YOU.
