 Trump videos edited by those in power and control. More reason why you can't trust the system.

 I can never see the full message in my notification. And once I click on it, the app opens but the message is gone lol. 
 If we're being honest, this is how we're all being lied to. All part of the plan to keep us voting a certain way.

 Trump doesn't understand #Bitcoin to give a damn about it. Hello understands getting vote to win an election. 
 Oh Lord please don't tell me Nostr / Primal has bots or that @saylor account was hacked. I received a message from "Michael Saylor" and I'm sure that can't be real. 
 Per this guy, you should sell your #Bitcoin and run as fast as possible 😜

 The Perfect Scam

Government promises to the Poor in exchange for their votes vs Government promises to the Rich in exchange for their money and how the Middle Class pays for it all... while believing in emotionally voting for their favorite politicians will solve all their problems.

 The same mistakes made about the internet is unfortunately being made about #Bitcoin today.

 Well said! Thanks for the correction. 
 "if a country is deemed unfriendly, UMA transactions could stop routing to UMA addresses from that region."

What does this mean @lightspark? What country should have the ability to stop another country and it's citizens from using a global money?

 "The time to ask questions with an open mind is running out. The institutions are coming. And the fiat wave won't be far behind them.

The window of opportunity on the most obvious investment of our generation is closing.

You'll still benefit by stacking BTC at $300K a coin.

But you'll hate yourself for ignoring this tweet."

 Such a beautiful story. I know we say a lot how #Bitcoin fixes this or that, but I truly pray that a mass adoption of Bitcoin will one day remove the ability of those in "power" to no longer be able to control everyday people or anyone for that matter. 
 BREAKING...
Trump found guilty on all 34 counts

 I think the most underated feature of the @strike Bitcoin app from @jack mallers and Team is the ability to send fiat currency over the #Bitcoin Network.
Anyone know any other Bitcoin wallet that allows you to send/spend fiat while continuing to HODL your Bitcoin?

https://m.primal.net/IRpp.png
 
 Yes, you're right that you can send/spend fiat on @CashApp just as you can on Strike.  But what I'm saying is, with Cash App you can ONLY do so using the "banking and fiat system network", not the Bitcoin Network. With @strike, sending/spending fiat can be done using the Bitcoin Network just as you can with sending/spending bitcoin. In my opinion a huge advantage and an underrated feature that I don't know any other Bitcoin wallet has. Another way to put this is, on Cash App you MUST convert your fiat to bitcoin in order to send/spend it on the Bitcoin Network. And with Strike, you can send/spend the fiat directly from your cash balance to a Bitcoin address without first having to convert it to bitcoin... in turn keeping your Bitcoin for strictly HODLing and spending your dirty fiat as you should. 
 Just as the Internet is a global form of communication around the world, #Bitcoin is a global form of money and a way to transact around the world without needing permission from corrupt government, politicians, banks, CEOs, or anyone.

 As Bitcoiners we know the problem, we now know the solution. The toughest hill to claim is getting everyone else on board still being distracted by shining objects and the lies of government and their favorite politicians.

 Where are we going wrong?

My Mom called me early this morning to complain that her car insurance had increased and wanted to know what company I was with so she could switch. I told her mine was up too and there's nowhere to hide. Last year I introduced her to #Bitcoin but since there is no way to show how #BitcoinFixesThis overnight, she wasn't interested. Probably won't be unless the President comes on her TV and says #Bitcoin isn't illegal to save in.

 Yeah pretty interesting to be one of the largest if not the largest Exchange and just now getting around to enabling the Lightning Network. 
 "I strongly believe what scales #Bitcoin adoption is utility.
...The problem is... the current system we have still centers fiat.
...If #Bitcoin is the currency for the digital age, than every digital platform through which people earn or spend should have #Bitcoin as a currency alternative."

 Sadly, the Argentina government and the new president Javier Milei has blocked the on and off ramp to fiat from @Strike. Definitely not a good feeling! But since #Bitcoin can still be sent directly P2P, hopefully the citizens have access to @Bitrefill or @TheBTCco to get gift cards instead of depending on the fiat banks.
