Repeal the 17th amendment and everything changes. Everything. Not a single corrupt mechanism within the federal USG would survive this singular change. Instead, all of the K-St activity would return to the states (where you can control it).

This little illuminated dragon is very happy about Pretext. He's too busy having fun to care about people's "hot takes" on how "it's not that special." (This little dragon also only works on desktop right now but maybe I'll do mobile later) illustrated-manuscript.vercel.app

Sat on a rock until nearly 3AM waiting for the upside down Milky Way to appear over Tasman Lake. Worth it

Thank you for making this!!! And btw x402Agency is one of the most seriously, insanely awesome systems that I have ever seen #BSV ever used for.

Regarding a "Benevolent Dictator", the Wikipedia Foundation was set up with the co-founder, Jimmy Wales, as the "dictator" who would (theoretically) have the final edit on any Wikipedia articles. This mish-mash (cooperative governance, combined with a founding basis on dictatorial powers) has led to severe issues at Wikipedia. The other co-founder has publicly denounced the direction the website has gone in. In my opinion "Benevolent dictatorship" is a temporary measure, and works poorly if attempted on a permanent basis.

Jorge, I did not know you are a journalist. Are you a member of a journalism association or writer's guild, whether in the US or in Colombia? It could be lost in translation: there is such a thing as a rhetorical point. I currently publish articles under a pseudonym on a BSV-based internet platform. Readers are free to donate to me, or pay small amounts of BSV (equivalent to $0.02 or $0.25) to view the articles and photos which I upload. Is accepting money from readers against Journalistic ethics? I am surprised you would even hint at this being the case: journalists have been paid by their readers for hundreds of years. Whether $10, $100, or $1000 USD or more, these payments are what makes journalism possible, with no compromise of ethics -- unless the journalist themself is willing to be compromised. Glenn Greenwald is an example of a journalist who is Independent, and who accepts donations. The transfer of money is not the issue, by itself, or we would not be having this conversation, about BitCoin.

@Kate_L_Mosso I always doubted your true intentions; you don't understand Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision for Bitcoin. Gavin Andresen made it clear: Satoshi behaved like a ‘benevolent dictator’. The @BSVAssociation now acts exactly the same, guard the rules with authority to fulfill Satoshi’s vision to the letter. What was once accepted from Satoshi is now criticized when the Association does it.

1). Kate has been posting about BSV here on X longer than you have. Do you have any websites or social media accounts that publicly prove you have been involved with BSV longer than 2025? 2). Your "X" profile has a link to a GoFundMe fundraiser, however the fundraiser is now closed (with no details available). Was this to raise money for you or someone else? Do you believe in raising money using BSV, or USD, or both?

@Kate_L_Mosso @BSVAssociation Kate leave it alone . You doing to much of nothing . We want you to move on with your life . Please go sit down somewhere . BSV does not need your type of support . All you do is beg , complain and try to show a lil skin to gain a friend . Find something new to do or be , Damn

share.google/ZxgYfIowtbe0QA… Who is on the @BSVAssociation board? I didn’t know, so I looked it up and got some good news: GROK: Yes, I can figure this out using publicly available sources. The BSV Association (also referred to as BSVA or formerly Bitcoin Association) is a non-profit Swiss Verein (association) registered in Zug, Switzerland (Commercial Register No. CHE-427.008.338). Swiss associations are required to register key governance details in the commercial register, which provides the most authoritative information on the legal board/executive structure (known as the Vorstand or Executive Board). The official website (bsvassociation.org) has a “Meet the Team” page listing operational staff and department heads (e.g., Connor Murray – Stewardship & Standards, Martin Coxall – Growth & Strategic Partnerships, and others like Alexander Mann, Darren Kellenschwiler, etc.), but it does not publish a full board of directors or governance roster. There is also no dedicated “board” or “governance” page. Current Board/Executive Leadership (per Swiss commercial register, as of late 2025) • Calvin Ayre – CEO / President of the Executive Board (Vorstand) / Member of the Executive Board. (He has been a key figure since the association’s founding in 2020.) • Vladimír Cíp – Member of the Executive Board (listed with CxO title in some records). • Ásgeir Óskarsson (also referred to as Ásgeir Thór Óskarsson) – Managing Director (Geschäftsführer). Authorized signatory (with power to represent the association legally, but not necessarily a full board member): Olga Fernandez (appointed 2024; some records note prior signatories like Cyrille Albrecht have changed roles or exited). Additional Publicly Identified Board Member • Richard Baker (founder and CEO of Tokenovate) – Repeatedly described in 2025 press releases, articles, and event coverage (including WEF 2025) as a “BSVA board member.” He participates in high-level representation for the association but does not appear in the registered Vorstand listings (he may serve in a non-executive or advisory board capacity). Notes on Historical Context and Other Bodies • Older executive committee (2020 era, when it was still called Bitcoin Association): Included Jimmy Nguyen (founding president), Steve Shadders (vice president / nChain CTO), Calvin Ayre, Stefan Matthews (TAAL), and Jodok Wicki (legal counsel). This has evolved significantly with rebranding to BSV Association and personnel changes. • The Technical Standards Committee (TSC) is a separate technical body (not the association’s governing board). It has its own chair (Angus Brown) and members from the ecosystem (e.g., Alex Fauvel, Masumi Hamahira, and others added over time). It reports to or collaborates with the association’s executive. The association does not appear to maintain a comprehensive public “board of directors” list like a typical public company. The information above represents everything verifiable from the official Swiss registry and recent credible press. If new appointments occur, they would update in the commercial register (accessible via sites like northdata.com or moneyhouse.ch). Let me know if you’d like me to dig into any specific person’s background or check for updates!

All I have heard (secondhand) is that the BSVA website once had videos of Dr. Wright speaking about BitCoin, and that in the year or so after the most recent UK court cases, these videos were taken down from the BSVA website. I have not verified this by going to Archive.org or Archive.ph or Archive.is I have not heard of anything more significant than this regarding Dr. Wright and the BSVA. Essentially, no longer highlighting Dr. Wright's videos was interpreted (by the X poster who reported this change) as a move by BSVA to avoid giving a public connection between Dr. Wright and BSV and/or BitCoin in general.

@cryptorebel_SV @Bitcoin_Beyond Hm.. well, as we all got to witness, there no fair way with the powers behind BTC, or however to say it. But how did BSVA abandon Satoshi?

I want to acknowledge that from the outside looking in, this post might "make sense" because the Association can and should continue to be more open, transparent, and engaging with the BSV community. This is something that Asgeir and Siggi are fully committed to. As someone that has been in BSV since day 1, I have never felt more confident in the Association's leadership, and I've never been more optimistic in BSV's future. Babbage is not on the outside looking in, which is what makes this post all the more confusing. There's a fundamental confusion here between decentralized governance and distributed systems. Bitcoin was never meant to be governed by committee — it's a distributed network with defined rules. The NAR codifies those rules. The guy who wrote the ISDA Master Agreement, the standard contract governing trillions in derivatives globally, helped draft the NAR. This wasn't guesswork. It was deliberate: model the rules on frameworks that have actually been stress-tested in high-stakes commercial contexts. Let's address your specific claims: "The BSVA has ultimate authority over everything on-chain" — No. Read Part I, Clause 1a. The NAR is a multilateral legal agreement between the Association AND all Nodes. The Association is bound by the same rules. They can't act outside them. Their powers are explicitly constrained to the original Bitcoin protocol. They cannot alter the coin supply. They cannot change the protocol outside Satoshi's design. "Set in stone" is now a legal constraint written into the framework, thanks to the NAR. "You alone can order all nodes to cut off their fellow chefs" - Also no. Any enforcement action requires the Association to act "reasonably and in good faith" (Clause 6). There's an entire Part III (Enforcement Rules) and Part IV (Dispute Resolution Rules) that govern this. It's not arbitrary. It's not unilateral. There's due process. The Association can send Messages (alerts), but only within defined parameters, only for actual rule violations, and with accountability mechanisms built in. "You alone can change the NAR whenever you want" - This fundamentally misunderstands how multilateral contracts work. The NAR is anchored to an external, unchangeable standard: the original Bitcoin protocol as described in the White Paper. That anchor doesn't move. The Association can't just rewrite the terms because the foundational reference point is fixed. You can't "update" a contract to contradict its own core premise. That's not how contract law works - and the people who helped to draft this understand contract law better than most. The NAR is a multilateral contract. Nodes are bound. The Association is also bound. They can't alter the coin supply. They can't deviate from the original protocol. The protocol is "set in stone" as a legal commitment, not just an allusion to an old forum post by Satoshi. The Association's hands are tied to Satoshi's design. That's the whole point. On "openness": The NAR is published. All of it. Every rule, every enforcement mechanism, every dispute process — it's all at nar.bsvblockchain.org. Compare that to the backroom "rough consensus" of other chains where rules change based on who shows up to a call. Clear rules, published publicly, that bind everyone equally — that's transparency. That's the opposite of operating in secret. On "political weaponization": You've got it backwards. The NAR exists precisely to make weaponization impossible. When the rules are anchored to an external, unchangeable standard (the original Bitcoin protocol) there's nothing to weaponize. No one gets to rewrite the rules because they don't like the outcome. The Association doesn't have that power. The NAR explicitly removes it. What you're proposing - turning the Association into an open charity with democratic governance - would actually increase the attack surface. Now you've got factions, voting blocs, whoever organizes best wins. That's how protocols get captured. That's how politics gets introduced. Rules-based systems resist capture. Political systems invite it. I, and many others, supported BSV precisely to prevent this possibility from happening. And I will continue to ensure it doesn't happen. On "weak institutions": You know there's new leadership. You know the team. You know they're qualified, they're capable, and they're working on exactly the kinds of structural improvements you're describing - funding diversification, stakeholder engagement, all of it. You could have picked up the phone to talk about any of this. You could have had this conversation privately with people who would have welcomed it. Instead, you chose a public thread framing the Association as "the devil" at the exact moment when the ecosystem is trying to establish credibility with regulators and legislators. That's a choice. And it's worth asking who that choice actually serves. We're at a moment where real progress is happening. The CLARITY Act is being debated. Serious conversations are happening in DC with an administration that is outwardly pro-blockchain. BSV is finally getting recognized for what it is — the original Bitcoin protocol, the scalable one, the regulation-friendly one. Public infighting over governance philosophy at this exact moment serves one purpose: it undermines all of that progress. If the concern is resourcing and funding — let's talk about that directly. But framing a competent legal framework as "the devil having authority" while the entire ecosystem is trying to establish credibility with regulators is counterproductive. This isn't the time.

I go to the grocery store. I see produce wrapped in plastic. I see soda and juice sold in plastic. I see meat and dairy draped in plastic. I pay with plastic currency but I can't get a fucking plastic straw? Unbelievable.

Then why is your party trying to abolish mandatory minimum sentences for child pornography in Virginia?

Mississippi has passed a law banning the production and sale of lab-grown (cell-cultured) dairy products. The bill took effect without the governor’s signature, and state officials say Mississippi is the first in the U.S. to enact such a ban!

5 Everyday Products That Were Actually Good… Until Corporate Greed Ruined Them You ever notice how some stuff from back in the day just lasted forever… and then suddenly it didn’t? Number one: the light bulb. Number two: nylon stockings. Number three: insulin. Number four: printer ink. And number five: cars. It’s the same story over and over: make it good once, then make sure it breaks or costs more so you keep paying. What product do you think they ruined next? Drop it in the comments.

@FidelityF43962 @MaxNordau @DanBilzerian @mattforney @grok Sorry, I could be a dual US-Canadian Citizen if I wanted to. But I don't want to. What you said is just like saying I am a wino just because I have friends who would open up their wine collection 🍷 for me if I came over. But I am not a wino, and I don't go over there to drink.

@MaxNordau @DanBilzerian @mattforney @grok All jews are dual citizens because israel is a racist ethno state based on the inbred group of people claiming to be jews.

I stand with PATRIOT Randy Fine against the broke Muslim convert, sex pest, drug addict, and disloyal dual citizen Dan Bilzerian

Hubris kills. The voters of LA unknowingly elected a Trojan Horse mayor. The January 2025 wildfires -- and the Mayor being away in Ghana at the time of the first major fire -- tell a lot about (lack) of leadership. The people at the bottom can do their best -- and they do -- but the rot is at the top, in LA.

You can't twist your way out of this one... We know you defunded the ENTIRE CIVILIAN staff of Border Patrol and ICE in your 2AM bill and then jetted off on vacation. I don't think people appreciate how bad this is, so I'm going to give an example. Let's say for the sake of argument that ICE executes an arrest... The arrested illegal needs to be entered into the case management system. That system is maintained by civilian IT staff. Someone has to coordinate bed space at a detention facility. That's also a civilian logistics function. ICE's Office Legal Advisor provides civilian attorneys who review removals before they send them off. If those attorneys are walking out because they haven't been paid since February, removal orders don't get signed off. So that literally could mean the illegal alien gets released. Deportation also requires air coordination. Civilian mission support staff schedule and manage removal flights. If that person quit because they haven't been paid for... oh I don't know... 6 MONTHS... No staff, no flight. Illegal alien released. These staff are FUNDAMENTAL to mass deportations and YOU, yes YOU Senate GOP... you defunded them.

@SenWarren You literally voted to send $200 BILLION to Ukraine you fraud.
