Mamdani certainty did one thing… Got my Trump loving in laws to love Cuomo! 🤣

‘Tis the season

Bless her heart, my wife is constantly dealing with me saying “hey let’s stop for a coffee really quick” (she doesn’t drink coffee). I’m always like it’ll be quick. Nope, never is 🤣

The progressive movement of the past decade has been centered around one core philosophy - the 1% should not have the amount of wealth it does v the 99% But, an even more radical and transformative idea is this - the 1% should not be in control and have the power and influence it does against the 99% This is where Bitcoin comes in. It’s anti-authoritarian, anti-oligarch technology. It’s the people’s money. And yes inevitably in this new paradigm and system of decentralized, accessible, transparent, permissionless money in Bitcoin - I do believe the wealth inequality will reduce and the gap will not be as large as it is today. But dealing with wealth only l, without dealing with the underlying system, is dealing with the symptoms but not the underlying cause.

Working on a new piece — “Want to Fight the Oligarchy? Try Bitcoin” Here’s an intro to the piece, dropping via progressivebitcoiner.org in the next couple weeks ⬇️ “… Every progressive knows the story by now: a handful of billionaires, megacorporations, and political insiders have turned democracy into a marketplace. They buy access, write the rules, and leave the rest of us wondering whether representation still means anything at all when it seems more and more our political leaders are bought. That’s oligarchy — rule by the few, for the few, often through wealth, corporate control, or political capture. We talk about taxing the rich, breaking up monopolies, getting money out of politics, or which political party to vote for. But few ask a deeper question — why do we still rely on the oligarchy’s money itself? What if there was another system and money that relied on rules not rulers, equal access, and no permission needed? The banks that deny loans, the payment processors that freeze donations, the corporate platforms that track every transaction, the government bureaucrats who write the rules for how their money works, who gets to use it, and under what conditions — they’re all part of the same architecture of control. Contrary to popular belief on the left, Bitcoin isn’t a tool for the oligarchs. It’s the first monetary system in human history that doesn’t depend on trust in elites, governments, or corporations — just open source code, math, and the same consensus rules applied to everyone who uses it. Bitcoin was created in the wake of the Great Recession, an event arguably orchestrated by corporate greed and recklessness mixed with government failure to protect consumers and bailouts for the rich. Bitcoin is the answer and response to oligarchy control. If the goal is to dismantle unjust concentrated power and the system that rewards the elite at the expense of the rest of us, maybe it’s time progressives stop dismissing Bitcoin as a libertarian or MAGA toy and start seeing it for what it is: the people’s money. Bitcoin gives us a peaceful way to opt out of an oligarchical system built on control and inequality and to participate instead in a network that treats everyone by the same rules. This is why we say Bitcoin is the peaceful, global revolution. It’s working and here today, if we want it. …”

You think the U.S. govt is gonna have whales pump the price of Bitcoin before they get to stack more, anon? Global financial paradigm shift in progress

We have the treasury secretary of the United States bull posting about Bitcoin (ya know our magic internet money, separate from the state), what a wild time to be alive

Let’s get Bitcoin/cashu in signal yeah? Whatdya say Meredith??

Any new candidates or leadership that emerges in the Democratic Party side of things, I’m hitting them hard with info on bitcoin and how they better get with the program or voters will tell them what’s up. There is a massive old guard v new guard dynamic. This isn’t because I love politics or our two party system. But because that’s an avenue of influence I have to try to make a positive different and less attack vectors to bitcoin rights and freedom in the U.S. and around the world. The Democratic Party will have its Trump moment (what Trump did to the Republican Party in ‘16). And I want to make sure when that happens they’ve been presented with a good road map for how to approach bitcoin (freedom, self custody, privacy, developers, power to the people)

I kinda love that fact the 0 people got the bitcoin price prediction right for 10/31/2025 🤣

So I just interviewed Ian Calderon, a democrat running for governor in California, about Bitcoin, his run for governor in California, why Bitcoin is important for CA, his family, and everyday people, and why it’s time for a new generation of leadership in the U.S.! A refreshing conversation with a democratic politician about Bitcoin (and understanding the difference between Bitcoin and crypto!). Excited to share with you all next week…#TPBpod nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld

I’ve never been more bullish on Bitcoin and freedom tech Its a mix of feeling this at a tech, adoption, state of the world level And also in choosing to be a part of the solution. Freedom go up is the mission ⚡️✊🏻

This is why I nostr, people are too fucking wound up and take themselves so seriously on X lol 🤦🏼‍♂️

Gm 😈

There are so many bitcoiners I looked up to when I got into it around 2021 that are right alongside me in becoming fathers now and it’s so cool. We all are much more chill and focused now, even more low time preference. LFG 🔥

Let’s bet on if a central banker says the same words as last time! Yup, this surely is the best system we can come up with. Opt out, #Bitcoin

When you put outlet covers on the electrical outlets and now your baby is all of a sudden obsessed with said outlets

I had another revelation about why many progressives and the left have such a hard time with Bitcoin Historically, and in recent decades, progressives still view govt as the solution and best assistance to peoples’ lives. They just believe *they* need to be in charge to make it work. So, when they see this private, money separate from the state, option — they are up in arms and assume the worst. Only criminals use it, what about the risks of money outside of state control, systemic risks, etc. They will not take the time to understand that Bitcoin was created precisely because of the issue everyday people face when it comes to government and central bank control of money, supply, issuance, and permission. Bitcoin is a human rights project, and much of their resistance and opposition to this is due to financial privilege and their assumption that the U.S. is the best possible actor when it comes to control of the money — which is laughable. So, don’t dismiss Bitcoin with your preconceived notions of what the state should and should not control. Don’t assume advocating for Bitcoin means advocating for overthrowing the govt or some techno-anarcho hellscape (it doesn’t). Don’t dismiss it because you assume it’s a pet project for the dark web. When you look at Bitcoin, view it from the lens of millions and billions of people around the world who simply want control and ownership of their money, don’t want to be constantly debased by their governments, and don’t want authoritarians ruling their lives and removing financial freedom. Bitcoin doesn’t have a technology or use case issue. Bitcoin has a perception issue.

The political system in the U.S. is completely, utterly broken and beyond repair or reform Stack sats, be a great member of your community, love your family well. That’s the only advice I have left.
