I'm launching a new show called "The Freedom Tech Frontier" under the @Sovreign banner. Who should I interview first?

I'm sick and tired of folks who use scare tactics to try and profit off of other people's FUD. Enough already.

Will quantum computers do anything useful? Or are they solely being created to try and break Bitcoin? Weird marketing strategy ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Bitcoin in self-custody is the No Kings protest that has real teeth.

"You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems." - James Clear What is your Bitcoin accumulation and self-custody system? It might be worthwhile to forget about a stack size goal and focus on a stacking system.

Maybe this isn't true for absolutely everyone, but I believe it's important to go through experiences that absolutely crush you. I'm talking hard times that break you down and force you to wake up and re-examine everything. Those are the times that you learn the most about yourself. Whether it be a breakup or a professional failure or health event. The pain forces you to take stock and make necessary changes. Everyone deserves the opportunity to strive and fail as it's those experiences that gives us the strength and wisdom that we need.

My buddy sent this to the group chat and said, "these targeted ads are getting out of control." I gave him a hard time, "the next ad you're gonna get is gonna be for an AI sex robot." He says, "its already ordered. Her name is OpenClawdia." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ image

Individuals MUST maintain sovereignty over their consciousness if they ever wish to experience liberty during their lives on Earth. Freedom tech is a means to the end of liberating human consciousness. Keep fighting.

So it seems that half of American politicians have been captured by Israel and the other half have been captured by China. Either that or they've been captured by transnational capital interests that have no loyalty to the United States whatsoever. You can probably count on one hand the number of federal politicians who have Americans' best interests at heart. It's a sad state of affairs and a core reason to focus on freedom tech and more or less ignore politics.

I cannot recommend this article by nostr:nprofile1qqstm84k2lp9knmvmf5gw88zvfvar7duvfpqfplryfystdn55ug2gkspzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpramhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmndv9uxjmtpd35hxarn9ehkumrfdejskyecfuenough. The battlefield for the rest of this century is our minds and our consciousness. Centralized AI is incentivized to consume our consciousness for profit. Sovereign individuals, families, and companies must utilize sovereign AI or risk losing everything.

The clownish former Prime Minister of the UK comparing Satoahi to Charizard and Pikachu is a major bottom signal

After twenty years of living with them, I believe it is safe to conclude that centralized social media platforms were in fact SURVEILLANCE media platforms all along. I predict that reasonable people will revive their grandmothers' old practice of documenting their families' lives: physical scrapbooks. Your life and my life is NOT entertainment for the world. It is NOT designed to be consumed by strangers the world over or by the authorities. It is meant to be lived and shared with the loved ones we hold dearest.

I jump on IG and X every once in a while to see how our @Sovreign accounts are doing and my goodness are those platforms trash. Post and ghost is the only way to survive there.
