No kings should just be no rulers. Millions of people realize something is wrong with the things the state does, but those people think the solution is to just switch the people in power with different people. The problem isn't just which people are in power, it's that the power exists in the first place.
Voting doesn't make violence and oppression legitimate. Words in a law book don't make it legitimate. Nine high priests in fancy robes don't legitimize the violent actions of the state either.
People have been brainwashed from the second they start school into thinking a bunch of thugs have a right to rule them and tax them because they put on suits and hold elections.
If you own a shop and a local gang is extorting you for protection money, but every four years you get to vote on which gang gets to extort you, you are still getting fucked.
No rulers doesn't mean no rules. People can organize and cooperate on a voluntary basis without any need for a ruling class with a monopoly on violence. The state wants you think society would instantly collapse without it. This is false. The state has and always will do more harm than good.

One of the main reasons shitcoins are so shitty is because of regulations. Many of these protocols make plenty of actual revenue, but usually the tokens don't entitle holders to a share of that revenue.
In a free society without the criminal organization known as the state, crypto projects could easily share revenue with token holders without worrying about regulations. Instead projects have to do dumb workarounds like token buy backs and/or burns which don't actually do much for the price. Revenue sharing mechanisms would drastically increase the value of many tokens, leading to massive wealth generation accessible to anyone around the world including the billions of people who don't have the ability to purchase equity in traditional companies.
Imagine a world unencumbered by a corrupt state that protects entrenched players by stifling innovation through arbitrary and often nonsensical regulations that fail to protect anyone except a few rich and powerful individuals at the top. In a free society innovation would rocket forward at breakneck speed, and anyone would be able to benefit from this innovation regardless of where they live or what documents they possess.
Imagine a world in which we could invest all of the money we earned into ourselves, our families, and our communities based on our individual beliefs, priorities, needs, and wants. Instead we are forced to work a significant portion of our lives for the state, only to watch the taxes we pay get wasted or spent on evil. Imagine if the money we earned appreciated over time instead of losing value because the state prints money at a rapid pace to fund it's violence.
Such a world is possible, but it starts with people realizing that they are slaves.
I feel like this clip was Ross Ulbricht's low key critique of maximalism, what do you think? If you haven't watched his speech yet you should, it was excellent. Freedom, Decentralization, and Unity!

I think MACS will do a lot of good in criminal justice reform, once this amazing lady sets her mind to something she does not give up. When Ross lost all his appeals and everyone thought it was over, she continued to fight for her son's freedom. Now she's fighting for the many other people who get excessive prison sentences.

It has been over a year now since Proton acquired my favorite private note taking application Standard Notes and they still haven't reenabled bitcoin or monero payments for subscription renewals. Please bring back support for BTC and XMR!
You would think that since Proton has a BTC wallet, they would allow you to pay for Standard Notes subscriptions using BTC at the very least.
Being acquired by a supposedly privacy focused company shouldn't lead to the removal of support for XMR, the most private payment method.

Flock Safety is building a massive survelliance network using drones, cameras, and license plate readers. They now have a people search tool for law enforcement that allows them to instantly identify everyone connected to a particular license plate using various data sources including credit reporting agencies, parking kiosks, and data breaches.
Because Flock Safety is a private company, law enforcement doesn't need a warrant to obtain data from them. This is the loophole the state is using to build a dystopian surveillance state where you won't even be able to walk outside your house without being identified and tracked.
I hope people just start taking baseball bats to these cameras and Flock Safety loses a bunch of money. What kind of assholes are like "My start up is going to create a dystopian nightmare but that's ok I'll be rich."

Private onchain identity verification tools using ZK proofs only work for those individuals who are privileged enough to posess proper government issued identification documents in the first place.

The Biden administration didn't care about the rapidly increasing and entirely unsustainable national debt in the United States. The Trump administration doesn't care either, and the Obama administration also didn't give a flying fuck. I think the attitude of politicians about this dumpster fire can be summed up quite well by this quote:
"Asked about the credit rating downgrade during a Sunday appearance on Meet The Press, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, "Who cares?""
The recent Moody's downgrade came right after the new tax bill was introduced into the House. It would add a minimum of 3.3 trillion dollars to the deficit, up to 5 trillion. This would increase our national debt by 25% by 2034.
Governments around the world are addicted to easy money and when the easy money is no longer easy, they will try to make up for it by stealing even more from you than they already do.


Reason.com
Not even the Moody's downgrade can make Republicans take the national debt seriously
Moody's downgrading of the U.S. credit rating and the House Budget Committee vote should have been turning points.
The fiat system will collapse, it is a question of when not if. Not enough demand for our debt is forcing the Fed to step in. Are you prepared? What will you do if the dollars in your bank account become close to worthless?

Stop using KYC exchanges. For many years some of us have been preaching about the dangers of KYC and many people in crypto will agree with you and then they still use KYC exchanges anyways. Some things, you know like..NOT DYING OR GETTING YOUR FAMILY KIDNAPPED, and of course resisting oppression and financial survelliance are more important than the ability to offramp directly into your bank account.
There's a really good non KYC centralized exchange I like to use that has fiat on and off ramps, it's called my local bitcoin meetup. There's many other ways as well to on and off ramp without KYC. Use them, teach newbies how to use them as well before they jump straight into KYCing. We need to normalize non KYC crypto useage again. It doesn't mean your a criminal or you don't pay taxes, at this point it's just common sense.
kycnot.me
The coinbase breach and the kidnappings is just another reminder that you should never ever KYC. Is being able to use KYC exchanges so valuable to you that you are willing to put your family at risk? Use crypto the way it was meant to be used, outside of the system.

There is no reason why citizens shouldn't be allowed to have the same defense capabilities as the police. When the citizens are allowed to be armed to the same extent as the state's goons, it helps prevent such things as the police rounding up everyone of any particular political group, race, or religion and executing or imprisoning them.
It happens, everyone always thinks it can't ever happen but it most definitely can, just ask history. The idea that preventing gun violence (this won't do that anyways), is a justification for disarming citizens is disturbing and we cannot prioritize imaginary safety over real freedom.
