New Hampshire House passes HB639, the ‘Bitcoin Rights’ Bill, which protects the right to self custody, to mine bitcoin, & to run a node.
It also exempts blockchain activities from money transmitter laws.

As ASICs become more expensive for U.S.-based public Bitcoin mining companies, more of the hashrate will move out of the U.S. — which will help maintain Bitcoin's censorship resistance.

A chilling thread on how easily dictatorial countries can request and potentially gain access to private #EU and U.S. data of individuals and entities on fabricated charges. In my case, this time, thanks to the defense of the #Belgian judicial system, it failed 🧵
In 2022, Kazakhstani secret service operatives came up with a crafty plan: they filed a 'cyberbullying' criminal complaint as "parents of their minor children" in #Belgium to create for the second time a legal backdoor to access my and Open Dialogue Foundation's private #financial #travel and #communications data stored not only in the EU but also in the United States and worldwide.
A Belgian judge refused to comply, but we still don't know if #Kazakhstan got that data directly from the United States or potentially other countries. Their

I believe the point I was trying to make was in response to @Sjors Provoost stating that he anticipated a lot of media to cover the Samourai case, when, in fact, I’m the only member of the media who has been to all four pre-trial hearings. Some other members of the media have started coming to the recent hearings, but it’s a very, very small cohort. That’s all I was trying to say, though I may not have done so properly. Sometimes, when I’m on stage speaking, adrenaline gets the better of me and I misspeak. My apologies again for any confusion this may have caused.

We’re living in a brand new world—nothing will ever be the same again. What made sense before was just habit: the consistent, daily reinforcement that Keynesian dollars could get you things. More fiat meant more stuff.
But those assumptions were built on sand.
Now, with perfect money, capital allocation among Bitcoiners follows a different logic. It’s grounded in real economics—Austrian economics—with a focus on hurdle rates, opportunity cost, and long-term value.
Just like Bitcoiners found each other by following reason to its conclusion, their investment choices often arrive at similar endpoints. But there’s a twist: perfect money creates a paradox. When your money appreciates exponentially for doing nothing, it becomes harder to justify spending or investing it at all.
That’s the challenge: if Bitcoiners don’t actively defend the medium of exchange property, they risk

Fiat credit cards nailed the UX: fast, offline, works anywhere.
I always wanted that for Bitcoin.
Now it’s open-source. Private. Instant. Beep, done.
In the video: two Cashu wallets for bitcoin.
Left: @Minibits (PoS)
Right: cashu.me (payer)
Ecash is sent directly via NFC — no internet, no delay. Beep, boop.
Ecash is a bearer token — the money lives on your device, not on a server. That’s why it pairs so well with NFC. Pick an amount, tap to send. No talking to servers. No syncing. Just push it over. The payment is pretty much instant. A PoS can accept ecash from any mint and receive payments via Lightning.
Still early days, but we’re experimenting. Card-to-phone works, but phone-to-phone? That’s the real killer use case.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.
Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.
His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and

A week after, someone described to me what #bitcoin was at a bar. Had I been drinking that night, I probably would have made fun of them for getting fooled into speculating on the price of magic internet money before largely dismissing what they had to say.
Instead, though, I listened intently that night and spent the following three years quietly studying #Bitcoin Come January of 2021, I published the first edition of my Substack newsletter on #Bitcoin and to be blunt, I was fucking petrified.
“I don’t know enough about #Bitcoin to write about it,” I first thought to myself. I went to bed that night after publishing feeling like I was having a panic attack.
Within a year, I started getting job offers to write about #Bitcoin and I turned some of

The longest-lasting civil war today took an unexpected turn... when the resistance adopted plastic weapons and cryptocurrencies.
You NEED to know what's happening in Myanmar 👇
Myanmar has never had political stability since gaining independence 76 years ago.
The latest coup was in 2021, banks were drained, and the local currency lost 60% of its value in the following months.
Rebels have since been using CRYPTO to finance themselves.

They declared TETHER as the official currency 🏅
They launched a stablecoin and a crypto bank on the Polygon network that accesses Uniswap pools for buying and selling currencies.
They even created a digital lottery and boycotted the national Myanmar lottery, which
