Good news from Biden’s TOP economic advisor. Things are looking up!
I feel what he’s doing will honey pot corporations. If they want sats, then it’s good for Bitcoin right?
Well Jack just announced 10% of Square’s profits going in to BTC so it must be good! He’s not gonna entertain questions about Saylor or his motives. Jack never addresses anything controversial, I don’t know why he’s concerned about free speech when he refuses to use it himself.

I don't understand this flase paradigm of "grant vs defend". If we're talking about inalienable rights, then no one is granting them to me (or you), ever. Also, I can't defend an inalienable right, but I am responsible for defending myself, which includes defending against attempts at infringing on those rights. Maybe Jack is saying the same thing, but in a manner that is awkward to me. I prefer to encourage people to use and exercise every lawful inalienable right they can think of. They disappear when we don't.

I‘d rephrase: don‘t depend on specific corporations. They can change your permissions. Be flexible with your tech.
Yes buy Bitcoin not square stock since you. Report numbers in opaque ways (bullshit earnings)
All of my rights were 'granted' to me the moment I came into being. All ANYONE else can do, be them corporations or governments or individuals (which make up the other two anyway), is choose to try to honor those rights or choose to try to violate them.
My iPhone? No but seriously, when Square phone that has BTC and nostr built in.
how long do you have freedom when the government can see your transactions and go after you?

Use a personal server from @npub126nt...e9ll to manage your own private cloud, password keeper, Bitcoin & Lightning nodes, Nostr relay and more. (Use code MYDATA for 5% off). Use @GrapheneOS, a privacy and security-focused OS for your favorite Android device. Use your favorite Linux distro for your computer. SELF RELIANCE IS TRUE FREEDOM. View quoted note →
At the beginning we felt kind of free and anonymous with bitcoin, the same we felt at the beginning of the 90s with ip addresses, usenet and the web. Now the internet is a terrible surveilance machine and i am afraid bitcoin is becoming the same. Thats why anybody interested in personal freedom better get some Monero, now.
I never felt that, and I'm here since the beginning. It was always obvious that pseudonymity was not enough, and any attempt to partition funds was doomed from the start unless I never did transfers across wallets. Incidentally, that is why I got into Monero very early on, I recognized the (should be obvious but apparently not) problem Bitcoin had, and still has.
I just finished a book called Tracers in the Dark by Andy Greenberg. And if you are a Bitcoin user, you should absolutely read it if you have not already.
Private membership associations can help in this regard. @BITKARROT says there are a few bitcoiner groups that are doing this already. Anyone know of any? #Pma #privatemembershipassociation
Fully agree. Monero was an obvious iteration of Bitcoin as early as 2010. It took some time to materialise as at the beginning people thought those upgrades would come to Bitcoin.
