 Reminder: there are 22 million millionaires in the U.S. alone (60M worldwide).

The number of millionaires increases every year as central banks inflate the supply of fiat currencies.

There will only ever be 21 million #bitcoin

 “Bitcoin implicates the First Amendment. As a system for collecting and communicating information ranging from payment data to art, #bitcoin is speech. As a statement of protest against the government’s monopoly over money, bitcoin is expressive conduct. And as a collection of individuals that share bitcoin’s hard-coded principles of individual liberty, anti-censorship, and anti-debasement, bitcoin is an expressive association.Bitcoin is free speech protected by the First Amendment and therefore regulating bitcoin has clear constitutional implications."

 “Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it.”

 “What if #Bitcoin were to monetize to reach some parity with gold in the next five, 10, 15 years… How should the United States make decisions now to maximize its advantage relative to its adversaries if that scenario were to pass?”

 “Everyone just gets gravity. Everyone gets the protocol and we all live within that. And that's a rule without rulers. And I think #Bitcoin is like gravity where it's just everyone gets free and open source money. Everyone gets programmable money, programmed and designed to maintain its purchasing power. And that's a rule."

 Why does FEMA prevent Americans from helping their fellow citizens during disasters?

It's all about the MONEY.

@TheGuySwann  and @walker cover a story by Ryan Tyre describing how government corruption and corporate kickbacks keep Americans from helping those in need, leaving disaster victims without help.

 “Prosperity happens because you have good money and you have a community that trades. Government is the opposite of that. It is literally cancer. The fiat system is cancer. We have cancer.

 “Our grandkids are gonna look back at this like we look back at bloodletting… they'll have the same reaction: ‘hang on a second. Everyone knows free markets are what provide prosperity and you let the market for MONEY be set by 12 guys who could rig it in their favor. What the fuck were you doing? That was insane.’” — @Lawrence Lepard with @walker on THE #Bitcoin Podcast

 “Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act.” — Eric Hughes, “A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto”

 “Early on, if you provide value [on Nostr], you can create an incredible outsized return because people will follow you. And then as more people join the network, they'll look to people who are providing value and they'll move more and more to you… But because it's a protocol level, no one can ever take those followers away from you. No one can ever take your content away from you. The clients are competing for you. So all of the protocol development and all of the client development is in service of YOU.” — @Jeff Booth with @walker
