    “Spotify paid Joe Rogan $100M to go away. Then he used the money and his ten million listeners to build a platform that generated a billion dollars a year, so folks pressured banks to not process his transactions. And that, kids, is how Bitcoin ended up as the national currency.”

    Remember that time Howard Stern went on a tirade against Wendy Williams, calling her a "c*nt" multiple times, transgender, bug-eyed, a cow & also often used the n-word, blackface...but he still ain't canceled? Wonder why?

    Does censorship have an ideology it protects?

    It is not a coincidence that the attacks calling Rogan racist come as pressure on Spotify to censor builds. Politicians and the media profit from division & outrage. They fuel the extremes that make us believe we're divided. We're not. We're in this together. Censorship is a cancer that kills both sides eventually

    The "Right vs. Left" framework for understanding media bias isn't nearly as useful today as the "Dissident vs. Establishment" framework. Adopt the latter and things start to make more sense.

    It's officially time to learn good Bitcoin privacy. They're coming for your sats after Trudeau enacted the Emergencies act. Do not believe me? JUST IN - FBI to form national cryptocurrency unit, focusing on the seizure of virtual assets like #Bitcoin and blockchain analysis, the DOJ announced today 2/17/22.

    If you have your coins on your wallet = you are 100% private and protected

    We are at the point of no return politically or macroeconomically.

    It's either Bitcoin or tyranny across the globe.

    There is no other way.

    But Now I am a little worried about unchained capital.. I love the multi sig option but can the government force disclosure of coins in their vault?

    Since the beginning of the War in Ukraine Tor browser usage in Russia is now above 45K. Censorship resistance is good for everyone but tyrants.

    They made up the Covid rules
    They ignored the negative impacts
    They overlooked conflicting data
    They demonized heterodox experts
    They censored research
    They disregarded control groups
    They acted surprised when the rules failed
    They claimed they had no idea
    They'd do it all again with cyber pandemics

    Bitcoin is algorithmically-minted and censorship-resistant money that is apolitical at the protocol layer.

    Algorithmically-minted money is appealing at a time of record printing of the government-issued kind, printing that has resulted in — surprise, surprise — record inflation. The crisis in Ukraine has certainly made things worse, but consumer prices in the US and around the world were already spiking before the invasion. This inflation, like most inflation, is primarily a monetary phenomenon, and those who blame it on problems like supply chain disruptions are telling only half of the story. Case in point: 2021, a year that ended with a 40 year high in inflation, also featured record global trade, with 13% more goods delivered by global supply chains than before the pandemic.

    In the last two weeks, the US Bond market has lost 4.8 Trillion dollars. That is a big sign. When BTC crosses the 46K price 300 million of shorts will be liquidated driving Bitcoin a lot higher. As inflation rises the case for Bitcoin becomes stronger.

    Bitcoin is appealing at this time because it is the first currency in history whose supply is controlled by a decentralized protocol and, by extension, has its base inflation fixed. This is a stark contrast to every other currency out there, where day-trading central bankers print money with less deliberation than a group of friends deciding on dinner.

    As the cancer of corruption grows in Washington DC, so too does the government’s need to corral the outrage and the activities of ordinary citizens. In this regard, one weapon supersedes them all: the ability to control how ordinary citizens transact in the economy. As Ben Hunt brilliantly describes in his excellent piece In Praise of Bitcoin, the goal of the US government is to see and preside over all the money in the world because once that power is obtained, it’s game over. Here’s a key passage (emphasis in the original):

    That’s really all it is. That’s what Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations are all about. That’s what Know Your Client (KYC) regulations are all about. That’s what Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) regulations are all about. That’s what the Treasury-led Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) is all about. That’s what the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) is all about. None of these programs are really about taxes. None of these programs are really about catching crooks or fighting terrorists. All of these programs are really about information for information’s sake regarding the greatest source of power in the world and the raison d’etre of every government on Earth: money.”

    Buried in the noise and drama surrounding the ongoing collapse of the crypto sector are disturbing developments in tangentially related technologies that look set to snuff out the last vestiges of individual privacy: central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Just as the shock of 9/11 was leveraged to roll back basic freedoms in the name of security, so too will the deep criminality exposed in the digital assets space be used to justify a terrifying shift in the way all citizens interact with each other in the economy. What are CBDCs, how close are we to their realization, and why should they be actively resisted?
