I got all of the patriotic feels over the last few days in DC celebrating 250. Between parades, flyovers, and the red, white, and blue all over, the spectacle did a number on me like it was supposed to. Today, though, I am came back down to Earth. One week of overwhelming spectacle does not forgive decades of authoritarian oppression from the US Government. We don't forget the endless money printing. We don't forget the forever wars. We don't forget the crimes against humanity. We don't forget the mass censorship and surveillance. We don't forget COVID and the harmful jabs. We don't forget the monsters in Epstein's network. It was good to put those aside for a few days and remember that America is the best nation on Earth. It is time to get back to work in keeping it that way. And that means a long memory, relentless effort, and eyes on the true north of this country which is individual liberty and autonomy, ordained by God.

America is the greatest nation in human history because it is the nation of people who love liberty, believe in the divine spark that resides in every individual, and will fight any force that denies its people life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I know recent years have been bleak, and there are several signs of decay in America. But I believe Americans will remember who we are, and fight for liberty once again. Happy 4th of July 🇺🇲 Happy 250 🇺🇲 God Bless America 🇺🇲

All Bitcoin Demand Matters View quoted note →

Since when did some kinds of Bitcoin demand become "good" and some kinds become "bad?"

I've been selling burgers and fries for months now at Bitcoiner McDonalds AKA @PUBKEY Take that, bear market

This was fun. Last night at @PUBKEY DC https://www.youtube.com/live/g1Bqgrtt_2k?si=HKiqP7qKOcckQ2AE

A voice of reason sounds like a schizo to an insane society.

I got to spend the afternoon with my family today, playing and goofing off with my little nephews. Perfect weather too. I even manned the grill for the fan. It is blissful days like today that make the hard days worthwhile. What a blessing.

I like holding my own money

In episode 1, I interview the founders of Bitcoin Commons, a new Bitcoin node implementation that is 100% Bitcoin and 0% Core. Please enjoy! View quoted note →

Introducing a new show from @Sovreign hosted by yours truly. The Freedom Tech Frontier

Good News: It looks like the US and China will not be on a collision course to war against each other. Bad News: It looks like the US and Chinese governments and tech oligarchs will be collaborating to enslave the world population in an AI surveillance system that aims to eliminate individual sovereignty and autonomy. It is still the State versus you and me. Carry on.

Stablecoins are stable in that they pen you in to a digital prison like a farm animal.

It's likely the case that most people will not get Bitcoin because they do not want to go through the painful awakening process that accompanies understanding Bitcoin.

The federal government would make sense if we elected a President who's sole job is to protect and grow the nation's sovereign health amd wealth. The military would report to the President. The President would hire a small team to manage fnance and operations, and everyone would have performance based pay structures. You could get rid of literally e everything else that the government currently does.

Many who became powerful and influential under the Fiat Standard despise Bitcoin because it exposes them as incompetent, irrelevant, and impotent. Which is what those people fear the most.

I watched Finding Satoshi today and it was a really moving documentary. The conclusion that Hal Finney and Len Sassaman likely collaborated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin seems very plausible to me given the evidence presented. Even more significant to me though was the takeaway about these two men as human beings. They were brilliant and competent, but they were also kind, thoughtful, humble, and principled. They were good teammates, friends, partners, and in Hal's case, a good father. All of our lives, we are shown example after example in society that these kinds of men are not valuable. That, in fact, power, cunning, and ruthlessness are the only ways for individuals to make an impact in the world. Might makes right and the strong can do what they want, while the weak suffer what they must. Bitcoin's origin story is a repudiation of that worldview. It shatters that framework. Look at how much positive impact Bitcoin has already had on the world. And imagine how much positive impact is yet to come. If Hal and Len were the creators of Bitcoin, it demonstrates to the world that kind, humble, hardworking, collaborative, and loving individuals are powerful. In fact, they may demonstrate that a dedicated network of those types of individuals are the most powerful force in the world. We Are All Satoshi. We can be peaceful, loving, and humble (enough) people, and we can also be a force of nature that even powerful tyrants bend to. Thank you Satoshi. We'll carry the flame from here.
