Every day that goes by the case for war with Iran for the U.S. gets dumber and dumber. The press is not hard enough on the admin about this. The GOP spineless. Too many Dems way too concerned about AIPAC lobby money It’s all so pathetic and infuriating.

Pam Bondi is a joke and should resign Also complicit in attempting to dismiss and at worst cover up some of the most horrific events in modern history

Donald Trump has been extremely net-negative for Bitcoin adoption, positive legislation, and growth of the asset/use cases for individuals, the industry, and global adoption A short, medium, and long term fail by the industry and big crypto money behind the admin 🧵

Bitcoin is a neutral, open, permissionless monetary system This is what makes it so great as resistance money. No pedo-bankers/institutions required. Truly peer to peer when held and used in self custody (which is easy!)

Real question Bluesky. I am a former progressive who really thinks our government has grown too big, and powerful and away from the founders intent. There is too much room for error. I identity as a libertarian socialist/anarchist now. Anyone else feel this?

The political opportunism and power trip you see from JD Vance is the stuff of legends What a rise and fall of the soul

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

We’ve got a bit of a refocus brewing for TPB. Stay tuned — but mission remains the same Show bitcoin as money for the people and social good.

Our hearts break for Minneapolis, lives lost & families shattered 💔 We aim to show that Bitcoin is the people’s money and provides incredible social good use cases. To that end, we plan to issue direct grants/funding for families affected, and resistance grants. Stay tuned.

I still don’t get how “the resistance” doesn’t understand that A) you need to fucking toughen up and exercise your first and second amendment rights B) use resistance money which is bitcoin Still thinking asking for permission from and giving the government more control is a good idea?

The reality to grapple with her in Trump 2.0 is how did we get here? Those who voted for him of course, but also the failed leadership from democrats the past decade, and most of all Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Joe for not dropping out and Kamala for running on a no change campaign. Shame on you

I mean ICE officers have called those simply filming “domestic terrorists” so under Miller’s definition here 1st and 4th amendment rights are violence against ICE! Miller is a terrible liar and incredibly unlikable person, but good luck thinking Americans are stupid.

If Bitcoin is “captured”… What about the current system?

Bitcoin is for protestors. It's a tool for Alexei Navalny and other Russian dissidents. It's for Roya Mahboob and women under patriarchal rule.

Please help me share this far and wide on Bluesky 🚨🚨 I’m the ED of @progressivebitcoiner.org, a progressive think tank focusing on Bitcoin. What are ways the progressive/left community would find our work, and Bitcoin, more authentic and appealing to them? Is it too MAGA coded already?

Bitcoin gives me hope in a world run by hopeless and untrustworthy governments and institutions

Bitcoin is the most progressive tool on the planet It’s the peoples’ money oligarchs can’t fuck with. Censorship resistant, permissonless, borderless, fully open and accessible to anyone on the planet. When will progressives realize this? ✊🏻⚡️

Working on a new piece for @progressivebitcoiner.org — “Want to Fight the Oligarchy? Try Bitcoin” “Bitcoin gives us a peaceful way to opt out of an oligarchical system built on control and inequality and to participate instead in a network that treats everyone by the same rules.”

Detaching Bitcoin from oligarchy narratives is how we get progressives on board. Too many lump Bitcoin into the oligarchy, dark crypto money, trump crypto corruption bucket. Couldn’t be further from the truth - Bitcoin is the people’s money.

Satoshi was a human rights activist, btw. Reframe your perception of Bitcoin. It’s freedom tech, giving power back to the people, and away from the gatekeeping in central banks, governments, and corporations. Happy Bitcoin Whitepaper day 🎃 bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Donald Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Binance has been a major supporter of Trump's crypto projects, and Trump has already made millions after Binance accepted a $2 billion investment from an Emirati fund denominated in the Trump family's USD1 stablecoin.

ICE is beating up and detaining citizens for several days and sometimes weeks with no charges. The Trump admin is blowing up boats (with people) in the Caribbean without due process or sufficient cause And the vast majority of Americans seem to not care. That’s a major problem.

How a Democrat engages with Bitcoin is a litmus test It says can you speak and engage with the future? Can you engage a younger vote? Can you combat Trump while also engaging on emerging technology as a non partisan, winning issue? It’s not just about Bitcoin. Be smart.

The Democrats will find it increasingly hard to win while Trump is in power. Full stop. Despite Trump not being favorable, many of his policies extreme, the Democrats continue to operate from a place of fear and no direction. Voters feel that. Voters don’t trust Dems!

I don’t like the language or assumption that a CBDC is a “public” option as many, particularly in media and western governments/politicians, are proposing. It’s not about the public (the people). It’s a government surveillance and control option.

If the government ceases to be by the people for the people Then let’s move on from it. I’m not sure I can still share Ezra Klein’s optimism of hope for good governance. Happy to be proven wrong…but the incentives aren’t there.
