At this point I think it is safe to say that that I have no fair weather friends, no "friends" who assume they know what is best for me, or better than me, or do not see me as their peer. I am a self-sovereign free man who knows his place in this creation and I have been called for this mission, however reluctantly as I was to take on the task. I no longer have fair weather friends. I have only brothers and sisters in arms. The Lord does not call the equipped. He equips the called. And brethren, I am building tools like Tubal Cain to do the important work of Saint Michael the Protector. I am surrounded by those who love me and care for me deeply, as I also care for them. I have been blessed and honored to be called on a very, very important mission. There are still some things I don't know how to explain and do not know. But I do know what I am called to do. And that mission is simply this: We must seek truth, and to seek truth, we must hold the liars accountable for their lies for all time. But we must also act with wisdom, grace, forgiveness, and humility, not to others, but to our all-knowing divine creator as, truly, the only one who can judge us for our actions at the end of our days. Let's find the joy in this moment, take this opportunity to be kinder, more thoughtful, and forgiving of those who may not be as spiritually aware as you. Always remember the first beatitude, for it is first because it is most significant: blessed are those who know they are spiritually poor. Not to diminish the rest of the seven spoken upon that fateful mount. Those are important lessons worth learning too. Do not fear. Do not stress. Do not be as Paul was, stressing out over a second coming that wouldn't happen for millennia. We must take this time to lean on our first principles, to find our center and our values, and we will see whose protocol is the most successful because it is most honorable and most defensible according to the reality of objectively verifiable nature, independently verifiable as peers, not as witch doctors, experts, priests, warriors, cabals, consortiums, or any other self-appointed elites. We are peers, created in God's image. This I know. Any other claims to sovereignty I reject other than self-sovereignty, with free will, as generously granted by our divine Creator as explained in the books of old. If that makes you uncomfortable, please, I no longer have use for fair weather friends, do ourselves the favor and unfollow me now. facta non verba et verbum caro factum est

Regarding the @tether announcements on #RGB. There is a reason why they announce announcement for the second year in raw not delivering anything - and having a zero liquidity. The reason is that they know the below tweet is true.

"All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness." Isaiah 40 There is no valid basis for the modern nation state in scripture. I have room in my heart for only one higher power, and that is God. Less than nothing to God means it is evil. Evil is all that is contrary to truth and reason and God's love and light. I'm not certain even the Father of Lies could have wrought such atrocities as nation states have, as the evil that dwells latent in some men's hearts. Statism is a religion far more destructive than even Satan could have ever devised. "Westphalian peace" is an absolute farce. Where is the peace? There's been a war in Europe for nearly five years now. And that's not the only one going on here on Earth. And for what? All this senseless violence and destruction and bloodshed... It could not have been avoided? War certainly happened before there were nation states and central banks, but the scale and scope of that warfare has only gotten worse. The 20th century was the most violent yet, and were only a quarter through this one. We must do the work to think of what we need in order to bring peace to this world. But I do know this: it is a fatal conceit to think nation states bring more good than harm. I hate the state with every fiber of my being. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Make no peace with evil. But first take the time to understand what evil is. God was very generous when He gave us free will. He also seems quite patient for us to figure this out. He created the universe. He also let us decide what happens. Can you imagine how frustrating that must be? To see us reject His divine authorship and instead worship the old gods at seemingly every turn? Well, not me. I dedicate myself to careful study of scripture, natural philosophy, and the analytical arts, because they are all useful things to know. And I'm not the only one. I am surrounded by friends and loved ones of similar mind. Even if they don't believe in the inner workings (God), they don't disagree with the API (Classically Liberal Western Morals). It is not hopeless. Others just need more work to convince that "zero sum outcomes" are actually negative sum once you account for the opportunity cost. We need to choose kindness and never violence, always. Maybe by building better tools, we can make the tools we need the most defensible we can prove them to be. Have a blessed Sunday.

Shame him

God truly is GREAT! WE WON! Thank you to @HRF, NED, and all who made this journey from Windhoek to winning in Washington DC a reality. Most of all, thank you to my amazing team members who made me feel like I was learning while working @ckanimba @Schnitzel @carl_dong 🙌🏾 🥳

Imagine being fashion mogged by a big Ukrainian man

I was surprised how bad it was just walking from the hotel to the Rails World venue. One strung-out guy wanted to fight me for some reason, another was swinging wildly and swearing profusely. Lots of zombie vibes too. Whatever Austin is doing, it's not working.

If you have Bitcoin heroes… Get rid of them now.

This is really good! Try it if you like cats mandelduck.com/vincents-cats…

No - the answer is mass adoption. User friendly self-sovereignty (UFSS) is a skill issue. Thus far, most have lacked the skill.

Thinking AI might be conscious is like thinking that there are real people talking to you from inside the TV, or that there is a tiny band playing music inside the radio. Fine for 2 year olds to believe, but beyond that, insane.

Zohar is one of the leading theorists of his generation. This forecast is not hyperbole. Society has not begun to grapple with the implications. It’s hard to underestimate the transformative impact this fast physics takeoff will have on our civilization. Brace.

The government shouldn't have any ownership over your identity, your money, or your machine. Somehow the blockchain folks failed to articulate this? Maybe I missed it though. In any case, I think it's time for a body politic amounting to more than nihilistic excusalism.

bro i am working rn, you can't be sending this stuff in the middle of the day

If your computer can't run Linux / BSD natively then congratulations, you have an appliance, not a computer.

How very ironic

What every country needs, turns out

Dissecting Bitcoin puritanism and making Bitcoin ternary one dress at a time. Which inclusivity has you been lacking in Bitcoin, @TheBlueMatt?
