The broad crypto industry rallied hard soon after the White House threatened to veto the bill that would let banks custody digital assets. And now it’s making a big difference, with Congress voting strongly for it, the White House pulling their veto threat, etc.

While it’s right to pass that bill and let banks custody them if they want, it’s sad to see that the crypto industry response to that was like 100x bigger than the response to all of the anti-privacy stuff that has been happening.

The desire of people in the industry for banks to help pump their bags is way bigger than their desire to pave a way for freedom tech in general.

Much love to all those building and supporting real freedom tech.

Heard the same. Crush may be a bit overdramatic though.

Head of Digital Assets at VanEck responded on Twitter that the “rumor is false”. I don’t have a screenshot. I don’t claim to believe either person. I would like to see some evidence or additional verification of the claim. I won’t be taking anyone’s word for it, even if they mean well it’s possible there could be a misunderstanding, unreliable sources, etc.


That’s a pretty big accusation. VanEck has already said this isn’t true for them at least. I think you’re going to need to provide some evidence here and context.


Nostr has less April Fool's content. That's a good thing.


Excerpt from an essay I wrote last year: “Critics may argue that it cannot serve as a store-of-value, but this is hard to reconcile with the fact that a growing number of proponents end up holding it for a long time, throughout periods of volatility and boom-bust cycles. Critics may also argue it is merely a means of gambling, but this is hard to reconcile with the fact that many individuals dedicate their lives contributing to the network with the creation of new businesses, the publication of books, papers and essays, and the continued development of the main protocol itself along with supporting technologies such as the Lightning network.”

The Bitcoin Revolution in Iran - Report

"We don't even have access to the global financial system, and many everyday routines that young people in wealthy countries take for granted are inaccessible to us. For instance, our access to Spotify is limited. Many might find this amusing, but we are fighting two enemies: the internal enemy, which has imposed numerous restrictions on us and deprived us of our freedom, and the foreign enemy, whose sanctions have directly affected the lives of ordinary people. It may be hard to believe, but having access to free internet has become a major goal for us."

Glad to hear it. Yea, touching grass and getting sun and fresh air is severely underrated imo.


Break free from your mental prisons.

#Bitcoin will help.


Sometimes we just need a break. For me, it helps to be active and go hiking in nature to clear my mind.
