Who’s watching house of the dragon? 🐉

When you come from nothing you want to build something.

Will we maybe die with less rights than we were born with?

“Without a private sphere, every move becomes subject to observation, judgment, and control. Individuality collapses into conformity. Freedom becomes dependent on compliance.”

"Establish a Private Life."

We become unfree without privacy.

Nothing like trail running and a wasp stings you right under your eye 🐝

I met Uyghur activist Rushan Abbas at the halls of the Oslo Freedom Forum last year. Humbled by her story — and her deep understanding of how dictators use financial repression — I wanted to help share it.

HRF’s Financial Freedom Report is a weekly newsletter that exposes how authoritarian regimes weaponize money—and how Bitcoin and other freedom ...

With my new role at HRF, I look forward to exploring the various ways people living under authoritarian regimes are reclaiming their #financialfreedom with new technologies. That’s why I’m excited to announce the launch of our newsletter, the Financial Freedom Report. 📰 The Financial Freedom Report will arrive in your inbox each Thursday morning and will focus on: - the role money and banking play in the civil liberties and human rights struggles of those living under authoritarian regimes - highlight how new monetary inventions like #Bitcoin can help secure more personal freedom for people even in the darkest dictatorship - showcase real use cases from around the world - and feature new tools and applications that can protect our financial freedom. To my understanding, this is the first newsletter to explore the intersection between #humanrights and #financialfreedom, which means you have an opportunity to be at the forefront of this conversation. 🔥 Highly encourage you to subscribe here:

Governments are increasingly using financial repression as a tool of control—surveilling transactions, denying banking services, freezing funds, ...

“The Human Rights Foundation — a group that says it exists to fight tyranny under authoritarian regimes — is launching a tracker that will allow the public to keep tabs on which governments are experimenting with CBDC’s. Its big takeaways so far: More than 62 percent of governments are going down the CBDC road, and autocracies are leading the charge, including China, Russia and Thailand.” — Politico #CBDCs https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-money/2023/11/14/a-cbdc-call-to-action-00126990

Today’s my first day at the Human Rights Foundation! I’m most excited about unearthing and sharing the stories of people in search of sound money, freedom, and hope… (and finding it.) As well as meeting the people fighting to ensure they all get financial freedom. From activists, human rights defenders, to bitcoiners, there’s no shortage of incredible people doing this brave work. Can’t wait to learn more!

Watched “Killers of the Flower Moon.” What a tragic, true story. In 1920, the Osage Nation (a Native American tribe in Oklahoma) became extremely wealthy after oil was found on their lands. They even became some of the wealthiest people in America. But the laws at the time required white "guardians" to manage their money. And thus begins the unravelling of crimes against the Osage people. If you have some time, recommend you watch it.
