 Dear EU Legislators,

I wrote this in 2021 for a reason. 

Love, 
A concerned citizen.

 you can't stop a (mathematical) idea ⚡ 
 Of course, they did not listen nor understand... 
 I highly doubt many of them can read. Maybe @TheGuySwann read it at some point? 
 He did 😘

It's not possible to zap on Spotify  
 Thank you. I would always grab Fountain links except the podcast index makes searching for my show a nightmare. So often I can’t find stuff from my show and it makes no sense to me. Something weird with their index/searching tool 
 Well, of course he did.

 Becoming more and more relevant each day. 
 Do you  
 Somehow I get the feeling that they are not on Nostr 
 I think about this when a politician like RFK goes “I will defend your right to do Bitcoin”. Like we need permission 
 Based on your definition of a wallet and the most recent regulation on the digital euro, the EU is coming after you to regulate how you flip a coin.

 Wait, what? 

I was away for a while
I'm in Europe

Is my self custodial wallet now illegal?!

 
 The EU are scared, punitive and a drain. Get out of the way please. 
 I didn’t vote for the EU “government” . In fact no one voted for them . 
 Very good piece becoming more relevant as we go. 
 "Thankfully, Bitcoin is an open system, which means that everyone can learn the operational details of the network. I encourage you to do that and, if you can, educate others."

is starting with the book 'Mastering Bitcoin' too advanced for learning the operational details of the network?

if so, where do you suggest commencing?
