 So grateful for this man. https://youtu.be/H-fQ7i8q5C8 
 indeed 🫂💜 
 A fucking hero

Anyone who hasn't yet needs to watch "Citizenfour" 
 Amazing speech. And heroic call to action from someone who sacrificed so much for us.  
 Have you seen Citizenfour? 
 No what is that 
 Snowden documentary from 2014

Highly recommended  
 Made my Laura Poitras who Snowden hand picked along with Glenn Greenwald to give his documents to. 
 I barely remember it, time for a second viewing.

Absolutely top quality work 
 We all are 💜🤙🏾 
 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥

“We need to stop asking permission.” - @Snowden 
 💯💯💯💯

You can feel how much he weights each word. Very good talk.

Ultimately, it’s a highly optimistic take of the opportunity we have to right many wrongs.

 foreskin licker 
 Listening 
 Agree 
 A great man indeed  
 Yeahhhhhhhh 
 💯🙏 
 Too bad public awareness didn’t change a jota since his revelations. 
 Disagree. His single act inspired an awakening in me about surveillance, FOSS, encryption etc. I'm sure you can extrapolate my case by millions of people all over the world. 
 Someone who alerted us to the truth, drew the line, and stood by it 

A real humanitarian 
 Legend 
 just watched. always good to hear his views on things. 
 Was an excellent talk  
 “The thing most important about Nostr is that it’s trying from the beginning to conceptualize the integration of free speech and free trade, open, instant, with immediate payment is a world changing idea.” 
-Edward Snowden 

We are changing the world for the better. #bitcoin  #nostr 
 Holy shit. I was listening to him say this quote EXACLY as I scrolled to your note and read it in my head. Powerful, holy moment for me.

 The people who chose freedom, we chose Nostr and bitcoin. 

Thank you for existing #Nostr and #Bitcoin 💜

 He asked "at which point do we start taking away their authorities?"

I think its now.  Look around.  

We need the metaphorical equivalence of a milestone somewhat like the declaration of independence.

I could see it being more of a personal pledge, a commitment really, a list of guiding principles that that could serve as a foundation for identifying the collective.

 "May it be more humane and fair"

Big fan of John Perry Barlow.

I wish I was smart enough to write succinct, remarkable, potent and memorable calls to action, to accelerate the transition to cyberspace being a stronger independent state.

Bring on the Bitcoin Network State! 
 I am so worried that we will never have true freedom of speech. We will never have true freedom to transact. We will never have privacy. Ever. The cameras are everywhere. The microphones are everywhere. All our transactions are cataloged...watched. All of our interactions everywhere with everyone and everything is cataloged...watched.  

And maybe for some of us that amounts to nothing. But to someone like Mr. Snowden, who was simply trying to tell the world that their privacy had died, it amounted to something. 

This was an incredible speech and I hope someone(s)...somewhere, someday hears this speech and has the ability to help free humanity from the digital and physical prison that continues to grow all around us.

Build. Wherever any of you are please build.

And if you don't know how to build, do something. Anything. 
 are you paying attention to @nobody yet ? 
 I think centralized social media has done more damage to society than what he leaked. He should be able to come home. 
 All the social media and other tech companies are PRISM members so they come hand in hand. One is a tool of the other.

100% Snowden should be pardoned.  
 So, obfuscation layers, abstracts, and other various forms of talking in code still isn't the goal... Yet, it's the only tool some people have right now. 
And teaching everyone really isn't feasible - nor practical... It turns into a clusterfunk anyway.

So what can people really do?

I honestly don't think people are going to have an answer for a long time. 

Privacy is dying and intelligence agencies are getting dumber.

It's quite the mess.

 💯 Packed room in Amsterdam for this one. Stream conditions weren’t perfect, but his words had a heavy impact. His tone is a bit alarmist I would say, but he’s making a great point nonetheless. And, indeed, you can’t ignore the fact that the world has a privacy problem, and that price tickers + acting in secrecy isn’t actually solving anything. We need to get busy, have fun, and build the Web we had dreamt of in the 90s. And it does start with Bitcoin and Nostr!

 This is one of the most pressingly good talks I've heard in a LONG while. I encourage everyone to listen to it slowly and let it percolate.

@Snowden doesn't pull punches and hits the target - which is bitter medicine more people in the community need to take.

The world is at stake here and Snowden doesn't flinch. Going to listen to this again slowly and take notes.

Man was this galvanizing to hear.

 100%

It's sad that he isn't more celebrated, or his, Glenn Greeneald's, and Laura Poitras's work even acknowledged by the masses.

I'm happy to see that he is still making contributions and has a voice. I'm sure there are people that help make that happen, given his exile, and I appreciate that. 

Jack, do you know of a way to support him? 
 "Just an IT guy" 
 Mad respect. 
 Wtf at 2:14 blocktime is 811846 then it jumps back to 811845? Is the video edited? 
 Never mind, I see now there are at least two screens for two blocks shown

 Very much, yes. 
 does he talk about black coins and how they will be defined?
do you think anyone is grateful for you?
have you used your courage and done anything good for humanity? 
did you protect innocent civilians on your platform from being terrorised? or did you protect the terrorists? 
why do you think anyone on this planet should trust a single word that you say jack?  
 "Gary Gensler is not daddy Bitcoin" lol. But that aside, this is really good. When it doubt, listen to Snowden. And he is right and spot on with everything - there is so much of distraction even within the bitcoin ecosystem and what drives the price instead of creating that value for it. The irony about Lenin, he was in London for 2 decades and charted Marxism from there mostly, before the revolution happened.  
 really awesome speech 
 he is a patriot, americas founders would be proud 
 WE NEED A NEW CYPHER BUREAU

 RFK JR says that he will pardon Snowden and Assange. 
 If I were president of the US I would do the same.

in the meantime, why we don’t do a referendum? 
 Worldwide 
 We engage young people
no doubt we get easily 51% in favor 
 Snowden is American, Assange no
Both are heroes of the internet. 
 Different cases from old Justice system.
Both global citizens of the world. 
 Justice needs a reform
beyond national jurisdictions. 
 Excellent speech

This is a timely reminder of the true state of things and a speech worth watching.  
“The world is ending… join Nostr” 
(Paraphrasing Edward Snowden)
 
 Great speech.

 True heroe!
