@Blackfan @hodlonaut Not bound by framing? "In journalism, conclusions normally emerge after reporting, not before. This framing pre‑judges intent before evidence is presented."

Citizen journalism is the natural evolution (or rather, rejuvenation) of the profession that is journalism. Not bound by arbitrary rules, nepotism, owner- or social manipulation. @hodlonaut is one of the major examples of how we will produce and consume news in the future

@coinjoined @lensassaman Journal of Cryptology on his Flickr photo flickr.com/photos/enochsm… and referenced in the BTC whitepaper. No evidence

I don't think @lensassaman was Satoshi. He didn't know C++, nor ever used Windows per his wife & he strongly criticized Bitcoin's lack of privacy. But this is wild: the whitepaper cites an obscure, at that time print-only, paper… and he shared a photo of his office in Belgium in 2007:

@nic_carter @david_seroy Research by Belgian newspaper including the pictures tijd.be/markten-live/h…

one of the strongest clues. there's even the claim floating around that he posted a pic on Flickr with the book in the background (haven't been able to confirm this). notably, there is another version of this paper that other academics more broadly would have had access to (including online), but he chose to cite the benelux one specifically. why? because it was in his local library.

Finding Satoshi doc was great. But, they missed a clue. Citation [2] in whitepaper is an obscure print-only paper from a conference in Belgium. It was basically only accessible via local university libraries in the region until 2020. Sassaman was PhD at KU Leuven in Belgium.

@YourAnonOne Did they find any Bitcoin?

@BehizyTweets ouch that hurts

This is an insane perspective. And it's all because Europe deviated from the free-market and entrepreneurial-freedom ideals that made them rich in the first place.

UPDATE: EU CHAT CONTROL WAS REJECTED. AGAIN. UNTIL THEY TRY AGAIN NEXT WEEK.

#ChatControl 1.0 got voted down!👏 No extension of mass scanning as from April 3th → big win for privacy → EU has to go back to the drawing board back and hopefully experts in tech, privacy, and law will guide the permanent framework. A special thank you to Bart Preneel @bpreneel1 from COSIC (KU Leuven) @CosicBe @KU_Leuven for all the work done to get here 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

European Parliament has just rejected the Chat Control proposal again! 🫶🚀 Your voice always matters! Stay ready and keep standing up for your rights!🫶 As a follow-up, ask your MEP to investigate: •Why are EPP MEPs following the agenda and timelines set by Google, Meta, TikTok, and other big platforms, instead of defending the fundamental rights of EU citizens? •On what legal and political basis was this vote reopened, and who requested it — was it driven by the public interest or corporate lobbying? •If this vote can be reopened once, does that mean it can be reopened again whenever the outcome pleases powerful actors — but not when citizens and civil society are dissatisfied with the result?

@ClioBitcoinBank No, we saying bitcoin is consensus and bluewallet is a bitcoin wallet. If you want opinions go ask people, not software. Cypherpunks write code.

@callebtc That's right. Bitcoin doesn't care!

Bitcoin grifters really think you're stupid. They promised you the most ridiculous things during bull markets. And the pleb cult slopped it all up like a herd of gullible sheep: - bitcoin will make wars unaffordable - bitcoin is a hedge against everything - bitcoin will be adopted by nation states - bitcoin will revolutionize energy markets - bitcoin will make you healthy - bitcoin will fix the traditional family - bitcoin will be a US strategic reserve - bitcoin politicians will win elections - bitcoin will fix your mental health issues The only thing Bitcoin did is to remain unaffected and neutral open source internet money. It's almost like Bitcoin doesn't care about your stupid narrative. Tick tock, next block.

@bitcoinpolicy 😱

🚨BPI has just learned of an amendment buried in Kentucky HB 380 that would require hardware wallet providers to reset users' seed phrases on request. This would effectively outlaw self-custody in Kentucky. BPI is sending a letter to the Kentucky Senate informing them of the harmfulness of this language. Section 33 was added as a last-minute floor amendment to a 77-page virtual currency kiosk regulation bill. The underlying bill has political support and is expected to move through the Senate for final passage, possibly within the next week. The mandate is technologically impossible for non-custodial wallets. Hardware wallets are specifically designed so that no one — including the manufacturer — can access or recover a user's seed phrase. Requiring a backdoor for seed phrase recovery breaks Bitcoin's fundamental security guarantees and pushes users toward centralized custodians that are vulnerable to hacks and failures. Kentucky legislators should be protecting their constituents' right to secure their own property. We urge the Senate to strip this provision before the bill reaches a vote. Relevant text below

@nic_carter @McFaul Somewhere between no plan and no outcome, it magically became 3D chess

- confirming that our allies are fake allies - creating clear evidence of the obsolescence of NATO - creating moral justification for future concessions demanded from european former allies once we unilaterally reopen the straight (hint: Trump will make sure he is repaid for the blood and treasure we spent opening the strait)

The United States has the greatest navy in the world. Not really sure why Trump is begging for help to execute his war in the Strait of Hormuz. Can someone explain this to me?

@lamps_apple @RemindMe_OfThis in 1 year

Look at the board. Russia’s economy is being eaten alive from the inside. China just posted the lowest growth target in its modern history and admitted, for the first time ever, that deflation has been devouring their economy for three straight years. Iran’s supreme leader is dead, and their Navy is scattered across the ocean floor. Venezuela’s dictator is sitting in a jail cell in lower Manhattan. Cuba can’t fuel an airplane. And the great CRINK alliance… China, Russia, Iran, North Korea… the coalition that every think tank in Washington warned us was going to end American dominance? It fell apart the first time any of them actually needed help. Every single time. Not once did one of these countries come to the rescue of another. Not once. And where is America? Military deployed across multiple theaters with a speed and precision that stunned the entire world. The economy absorbing global shocks that would flatten any other nation on earth. The dollar still the reserve currency of the planet. NATO still intact. And a president who demonstrated in a matter of hours in Caracas what Russia has failed to accomplish in four years in Ukraine. A matter of hours. The United States of America is operating from a position of strength that would have seemed impossible five years ago. Every major adversary is weaker. Every supposed counter-alliance is fractured. Every bet against America has lost. And there is not a thing… not a single thing… that any country on this earth can do to stop it.

@hodlonaut How 's it going? Status update please.

Trump wants: 1. freedom of speech on social media 2. stop wars 3. drastic reduction of bureaucracy 4. streamlining of the state apparatus 5. stop wasteful spending 7. stop illegal immigration 7. kick out illegal immigrants 8. require ID for everyone who votes 9. get rid of woke 10. end DEI and identity politics 11. keep women's sports free of men 12. have only 2 legal genders 13. healthier food 14. better studies on whether vaccines are disease-causing. No wonder that such common sense is unbearably offensive to the woke left.

@rcbregman First transperson as deputy prime minister 🇧🇪

@rcbregman been there, done that 🇧🇪

Proud day to be Dutch. Rob Jetten sworn in as the first openly gay prime minister in Dutch history. We were the first country to legalize gay marriage – and the fact that Jetten's sexuality hardly played a role in the campaign makes me even more proud.

@Laurastacksats It's the main reason for this account. Bitcoin doesn't care about what you should eat or how you should vote. It 's ok to disagree.

People preach 'iNdiVidUaL sOvErEiGnTy' while copying the same diet, politics, and memes of their timeline. So sad to see. That desperate need for belonging. Sorry but if you have to act like a clone to fit into the ' Bitcoin community' you just swapped one cage for another.

scam attempt today. Stay safe out there!
