With more $bns being put in bitcoin compared to 2021, and half the supply being produced every day, you'd think we would outperform 2021 relative .... But I'm still skeptical.

The $bns in ETFs will play a different role here dampening gains .  institutional investors will be happy taking 5%profit cuts and dump billions relatively quickly .


Cautiously optimistic about this actually happening.  Lots of obstacles to surmount

You can get phones with physical switches, no need to use a phone that comes with proprietary OS and very little userbase for hacks/rooting help.

Fairphone with graphene is still a good option, or volla phones .  has to be open source or else you have no idea what is going on in there.


Isn't that the phone that isn't open source, as in the binaties can't be built / replicated?

Haven't watched, I won't watch if the tech isn't open source as that's an obvious honeypot for governments.

Just looked at the site: yep, no mention of code being open and "how can you trust us" question is answered by "we are verified by experts".

Oh I was talking about bukele not max heh


Though you are correct, have you been to el Salvador and spoken to people there? It's interesting to consider how he has over 90% approval ratings.  As far as I know no other leader can boast that.

I can say from my own experience that the people approve of what he has done and support him.

As long as a government is accountable to its people and does what the people want the government to do its really hard for outside observers like us to judge.

Only time will tell if he end up a tyrant or a liberator - and the only people who can make that determination are the citizens of that country

This is much bigger than one American law my friend.  You would need to take on the FATF.

Lots of podcasts on how it's controlling the financial space globally , its the subject of my presentation in adopting bitcoin in el Salvador.

The more people know what this piece of festering garbage "global standard setting body" is, the better.


An act providing for restriction on use of digital assets? Have you read the entire bill? The bill likely removes your ability to do what you want and only authorizes certain activities.  Hardly a blessing my friend


He doesn't support bitcoin devs and holds all microstrategy BTC on coinbase.

He is also developing a bitcoin-based digital Id system.

I honestly don't know what to think


See you there!


This is gold.


I spoke about how governments are being taken over by global standard setting bodies (and thus less accountable to citizens) during my interview with Marty Bent on TFTC.

I think using "they" as a way to explain what is happening is intellectually lazy as it fails to take into account the shades of individual human personalities that are involved.

Again, I'm looking at this with a unique insider view I think few have.

Not trying to change your mind, just having discourse


Its easy to say "they" and piece this as an elaborate master plan, very difficult to trace the chain of cause and effect, even from within.

Sometimes it's just a speaker at a global conference that I fluences 5-8 bureaucrats who then go back to their countries and begin implementing measures.

I do admit there appears to be synergy between various governments around the world


As a government functionary, this is how little coincidences just happen to cross my path;

We all know the UK is registering chickens now.  Well, my country, which has very little agriculture is now contemplating creating a farmers registry - where farmers will be asked to register what activities they engage in and crops they are growing.

The reason given is to be able to compensate them in the event of a natural disaster, so no doubt most will go ahead and register.

Where did this come from? Likely a global standard setting body of some kind feeding policy, research, money or all the above to my governments ministry.

I saw the same thing happen with digital ID.  Suddenly all governments were passing laws, including my country.  Came out of nowhere.


Erik Cason echoes how I think in a very vocal way, and I love it.

If you vote you support and represent a system of control that doesn't care about your best interest.

Its not a popular opinion, but the more I ponder on this the more it holds true in my mind.

It can print its own money.  Stop legitimizing it instead.


Marty Bent told me there was a just released decentralized git framework.  Does anyone know the name?


Well said! And this should also be the de-facto norm for any freedom-code going forward.

The system works by shock and awe, by making an example of some low hanging fruit in order to scare everyone else into compliance.

We need to set up an infrastructure where devs and business owners are free from fear and repercussions for non compliance.

It is the duty of every citizen to resist an unjust law


There is no point in bitcoin being censorship-resistant and distributed if the code is not.

- they can censor the repository because it is in a centralized service.
- They can censor, coerce, imprison and kill developers because many are not anonymous and use a centralized service.

The code is as important as the executable.

Make the code also uncensorable and distributed.


True.  It is a sensationalist video.  What concerns me is the centralization of internet infrastructure and development. Countries will be incentivised to abide by the standards set in a centralized manner - a new digital infrastructure global body.

 The document does speak about open source and free access and human rights and all the right things for this resolution to be accepted. You can only see through the fancy words by asking yourself "how will this be achieved"?


The document outlines quite a few things, wrapped up in pretty giftwrap of a digital new age.

For example;

Anytime they say the words make the internet "safe" change that for "we will block anyone we think isn't making the internet safe", or " we will have measures in place to police the digital world"

Etc.

That's what is really being said here.


When Ubuntu touch or graphene ?


Addendum: no global standard setting body will ever state the end goal of their standards.  It's meant to capture the imagination and will of beaurocrats who want to make the world a better place.  Laws will be passed, requirements set , I've no doubt about that


You have to be able to read through this type of text.  Strengthening Global governance to ensure inclusivity and safety = identifying everyone using the internet and ensuring they don't "commit crimes".

The digital compact states it will create a governing body which will assess gaps in countries so they can be remediated, like the FATF.

This is all very nice sounding, like the SDGs, however when you look at the document all it says is " we will throw money at countries for digital development if they comply with our standards"


This is real, see the document here: https://www.un.org/en/summit-of-the-future/pact-for-the-future

This is a massive overreach on state sovereignty.

We should derive some type of master identity system which could be used to generate new identities from a central key, like how bitcoin uses one key to generate many public addresses.

Only difference is it would have to use words and numbers, e.g. a key could be used to generate the moniker "gardenelectorate2501" and "jasmineponder7866".  This way usernames could be generated with one key, and the owner of the key could prove his various entities are his (but only when/if he wants to do so).

Another example of the people voicing their opinion by voting , and then crossing their fingers the person they elected does what they wanted

Representative democracies need a mechanism to keep elected representatives in check during term.


Modern day heroes.  I hope they practice good opsec.


I chose to go nym instead of using my real name for a few reasons.  One of which is that governments are increasingly focused on "spreading disinformation" and other "harmful content".  They are trying to criminalize something that is entirely subjective and that needs to be interpreted by someone.

Incredibly dangerous that.

There's a principle in lawmaking that terms and concepts should be as clear as possible.

Another reason is because people tend to attack and judge the person instead of what the person is saying.  Ad hominem attacks are a cheap tactic and I'd rather not have to deal with them .

If this number eventually gets to a point where it will be open to ad hominems, I'll just create another .

Try opening a number and speaking your mind.  It's liberating.

Her ask was quite extensive.  I can see them taking a lot of time to reply to it.  I suggested she drills down to the humans behind the report and get emails.  She can also foi any reports or research written by those specific individuals.  She can then also look at the affiliations/history of the authors, etc.


Sorry I just read the thread and see you already filed a complaint.  Great.  Has it been acknowledged?

My only suggestion here is to send new simplified FOIs .  your initial ask is quite extensive, and would require someone to compile quite a bit of information.

For example, you may want to start by identifying who were the authors of that specific section of the risk assessment.  Then, you may want to FOI those individuals emails pertaining to the national risk assessment, or which contain the key words you want.  Maybe do so in a 3-4 month period.

This does require fishing blindly.  But try and dig down to the human(s) behind the statements and the work, and press them

Commendable and an excellent approach.  Dictator Musk (or WEF puppet X CEO) will likely ban nostr links in time, however that's a sign you got to them isn't it


Haha, fair.

Really just doing what I preach - looking for discussions on topics I find interesting.

The more we discuss and debate, the better when it's done in a respectful manner.


Who does the hanging?

A government can be given power, or extract it via violence.  Either way there are humans behind every expression of "legitimacy".

Its always humans who give a government power.  True, humans with guns can instill a lot of "legitimacy", and disproportionally so.


People seek expediency by default because our brains are wired to expend the least amount of energy possible as a route to efficiency.

So, people delegate governance and thus we have the rule by majority.

In my opinion It is immoral only to the extent that the minority individual cannot freely leave if he disagrees.  In a free and open world , an individual could just leave if he disagrees with the majority.  There are many barriers to doing this today, so leaving often isn't an option.


In a way we are arguing to the same end.  I suggested in the podcast that those who vote provide legitimacy to the government, and thus bear some responsibility for the governments actions.

Its just a thought I often ponder and knew it would be contravertial.

I also ask what would happen if no one voted in an election? What signal would that send?  Would a government (elected by , say, 5% of the population) be legitimate?


You are essentially arguing against the validity of voting in the first place.  I see your point and really appreciate the images.

Are you completely comfortable brushing aside the concept that a government rules by the consent of the governed, because the voting process is rigged to achieve a certain end result?

Where does the government get its power from? Itself?  Would that make any sense?

Only humans can grant power or extract it to/from another.  I can grant myself the title of King right now, but my title only has power if other grant it to me.


This is only true if one side asymetrically stops voting, giving the other side a decisive victory over the other.

How to improve the system is a difficult question; is it done by participating (and hoping the person elected makes a change) or is it done by "voting out" and building a better alternative?

Its old, but it did have traction, and no reason why it can't be kickstarted again.  Lobbying is legalized corruption.


Some YouTube commenter said this on my recent TFTC appearance :

He is suggesting that voters are responsible for government actions by participating in voting. That by voting you are an enabler. That is illogical. If no one voted (except the politicians voting for themselves), we would arguably have a much worse government, as only the most power hungry, corrupt people would run, vote themselves in & make laws that benefit themselves to the detriment of the rest of society.  I hear anarchists use the same flawed argument.

I find it a shame he didn't chose to post the comment on Nostr, as I'd love to discuss this point.  I find it interesting that a voter chooses to participate and yet wishes not to be held responsible for the actions of the elected government.  People really do consider themselves separate from the government, when in truth the government has power because it is given by its people.

What does Nostr think?


I'd be very interested in hearing successes, and failures of Nostr users sending #FOI

What you sent one? What happened?

If not, why aren't you willing to send one?

Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step towards obtaining it.  -Thoreau, on Civil Disobedience

My first debut in the world of bitcoin podcasting.  Thank you TFTC for spreading the good word and creating a platform where we can speak up.

There's a need for action, no matter how insignificant.  Just being on Nostr today is action, so pat yourself on the back

Send freedom of information for every representative asking to see any/all emails from their inbox that contain the title of this legislation.

You need to see what you can uncover.


More important than that picture of someone pouring a coffee you were going to click like on.


Rule of Law works in practice, but with a large delay and only if bad actions are properly challenged by someone who has the means to see it through.  A flaw in the current system for sure

Link sent!


Link sent !


I was not aware of either of those projects. Thank you.

The way to dev is to dev without a governable structure (no company, foundation, not for profit, etc) and anonymously.

Strange to think simple messenger apps may be targets for gov intervention .


Sent link to you both, see you in chat!


Ultimately any app that offers privacy and anonymity with doxxed devs is at risk of gov pressure.

Using simplex now, best there is that I can see


SimpleX okay? I can pm link


To all fellow Adopting Bitcoin 2024 speakers on nostr; any interest in setting up a pre-conference group chat?

Have a new project you're wanting to start? Don't incorporate a new company.  Legal entities make you governable.

Classic


Step 1. Jurisdiction passes law restricting encrypted secure social platforms, requiring back doors, etc.

Legislation has criminal penalties for non compliance.

Step 2. Jurisdiction will take 1-2 years to "police the perimeter" and identify entities within scope of the legislation.

Step 3. Ban-Hammer nails down non compliant platforms, enforcement phase. Usually 3-4 years after passing of legislation.

We are (in UK, Canada, aus, EU, ) currently in step 2.

Mozilla and all other entities may bring enforcement matters to court however once a law is passed it's really hard to argue against it.  Judges enforce the laws and interpret them.

I wouldn't assume mozzila backing protects from 1984 government.  Problem is most of those entities are doxxed and thus have balls to grab.  Government will grab them and squeeze.

solution : don't be doxxed. dont use legal entities like foundations or not for profits for your projects.  Do them a-la-satoshi and give a finger to the central state


Epstein disinformation? She literally wrote the book.


But will they appreciate it


Thank you for sharing this


This video almost seems contrived to be spread around social media to instill fear in those who watch it.

"I better censor myself now!"


Actually watched this to the end.  Very informative!


Freedom of informations are your friend here.  Ask for emails relating to bitcoin mining from the state ministry/department in the FOI and unmask what the true issues really are.

FOIs are very easy to send and often free. Worth ten minutes of your day?


I'll make my first post a reflection on the 9/11 state of emergency.  You know, the state of emergency that allowed TSA at the airport, and anti-money laundering KYC at your local bank.

Did you know the state of emergency has had to be renewed every year since 2001? It expires every year, yet every year it gets renewed.  Yes, even mighty Trump renewed it.

Do you think 9/11 events still warrant your loss of rights to this day still? Why does this have to be renewed year after year?

What would happen if it wasn't renewed? What would go away?


Long time Nostr user under another npub, I'm a civil servant who will bespeaking at the adopting bitcoin conference in El Salvador this year.

I've never taken any public-facing roles before, but seeing what I see I felt I couldn't be silent any longer.

I plan on speaking about the erosion of state sovereignty and what you can do today to help make your government more open and transparent.


Likely the mt gox peeps.  I think there are a lot more to sell too.  Hoping we hit 40k


Let's have a discussion about the centralization of government at adopting bitcoin el Salvador.
