@Dariusaurus give em hell! 👍👍

Predictions for next week. Sega + Colp will desperately file a late acknowledgement of service. I have ofcourse already mapped out every argument they could present to the court and have heavyweight counter arguments pre prepared. Someone will likely attempt to argue a stay on the interim application against the police. They will desperately be trying to supress disclosure of the (lies) that were told to the judge at Southwark Crown Court to obtain the unlawful warrants. Problem is, i’ve got the audio recording that could land certain Colp officers in very hot water. Evidence tampering is a criminal offence afterall. All of this was entirely avoidable if someone just opened a line of communication about the consoles instead of trying to frame me for a crime 🙃

@TFTC21 suck dick @brian_armstrong

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off. A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC. A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption. Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited. Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped. Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure. We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection. Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm. This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare. Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.

Valve veteran Chet Faliszek calls out Tim Sweeney and Epic's 1,000 layoffs while making "as much money as possible "I worked my ass off at Valve, and I could retire today. I made more money than I'll ever make." "You just make one game... how do you have any agency? How do you have any ownership when you're just gonna get laid off like this?" "Hey Tim, Gabe's better at that than you."

The Signal protocol is well documented but hard to grasp the first time. Especially what's happening under the hood while using a messaging app. I built an educational tool that lets you chat on a simulated phone and see protocol details in real time, completely offline. Enjoy!

Economists Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises predicted the fall of the Soviet Union. They were right about a lot of other things: Why politicians can't manage the economy… How politicians create inflation… Why economies boom… then bust. @ryanmcmaken of @mises has more:
