The IRS is a garbage agency.

@Babygravy9 I've always been a fan of tig ol bitties.

Been thinking about this for more than a week now.

@benwehrman @OwenShroyer1776 Boomers tell me it's to help make it rain because God's creation wasn't good enough.

@OwenShroyer1776 what in the geoengineered chemical hell is this 🤢

I've never seen that before. Amazing.

@DavidFBailey How is NAKA doing? Are you guys ready to just let it completely fail and admit that it was a pump n dump?

Hearing things but my heart has been broken so many times I’m afraid to post it

@Bitcoin_Teddy Only to then fumble it like they did with gold.

🇺🇸 VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: "Bitcoin will become a strategically important asset for the United States."

@GolanBinder @Pledditor @saylor Metaplanet, Block, and XXI have mempools. Is Strategy too good for it?

I hear you but this is a public US company regulated and probably scrutinized by the authorities more than others I would assume. If Michael Saylor or any of his team “Cook the books” they will spend their time in a cage for many years. They don’t strike me as being that stupid. Just my two sats

I'm not accusing @Saylor of anything, but when you purchase nearly ~3% of the BTC supply over the span of 1.5 years, and you don't move the BTC price, a reasonable person would be asking to see those proof of reserves. x.com/i/grok/share/c…

@meerkatmaxi @Pledditor @saylor Last I heard Strategy has CB holding their bitcoin.

@Pledditor @saylor i would simply like him to confirm that they hold atleast the public keys and that he himself can conifrm the coins are onchain. Has he publicly admitted such??

@Pledditor @JesseKobernick @saylor @blocks @twentyone @Metaplanet They have one. x.com/i/status/18660…

@JesseKobernick @saylor Yes. @Blocks and @twentyone provides us with their actual wallet addresses. @Metaplanet doesn't provide wallet addresses but does offers real time verification with Hoseki

@kinetic_finance @Pledditor @saylor @arkham No. Identified by guessing isn't proof from the company. @Metaplanet has a mempool, why can't @Strategy ?

@Pledditor @saylor they’ve been identified multiple times on @arkham do you not believe those?

@Pledditor @saylor Today is the 1 year mark of me asking @saylor for a mempool. A lot of the Saylor fanbois don't like it though. x.com/i/status/19190…

@elkrun21 If you stay in bitcoin long enough you see your heros fall. Pierre is a bootlicker. Saylor is finger banging crypto. Back believes spam on-chain is good.

Saylor is promoting Ethereum. Saylor is promoting the Runes protocol on the Bitcoin network. Saylor is promoting issuance of stablecoins on the Bitcoin network. Saylor is promoting issuance of staking tokens on the Bitcoin network. Saylor is promoting the use of the Bitcoin network to support tokenized synthetic bitcoin tokens on L2s. Saylor is telling folks to exchange their BTC for stablecoins, in part so they can earn yield on those stablecoins. That yield is provided by STRC, which is purchased by entities within the stablecoin ecosystem described above. Saylor/Strategy then takes the proceeds from those entities buying STRC and buys a boatload of BTC themselves. Saylor use to tell folks to buy and hold BTC, there is no second best. Saylor now tells folks to buy a security or a stablecoin instead. Here's what's involved in the stablecoin money flow. Two different stablecoins, one riding on Ethereum, one riding on Bitcoin. Two different staking tokens, one on Ethereum, one on Bitcoin. One synthetic bitcoin token riding on an L2, which uses the Bitcoin network. One security, and last, but not least, some actual bitcoin. What could possibly go wrong? Here's the kicker, in that whole process, the only entity not buying and holding BTC is the individual customer. It's an unbelievably complex thing. I'm almost hesitant to even post this out of fear I'm going to look like an ass because there's no way this monstrosity could exist, and I'm just making shit up. Who knows maybe I've misunderstood it all, but I don't think so. Taproot and OP_RETURN are the two key aspects of the Bitcoin protocol enabling the Bitcoin network to be used for all this non-bitcoin stuff. All except Strategy are VC-backed. Here are all the entities, protocols, outputs and tokens involved for the privilege of exchanging your BTC for a yield bearing stablecoin: Hermetica (USDh, sUSDh) enabled by Runes/OP_RETURN on Bitcoin. Saturn (USDat, sUSDat) on Ethereum. Stacks (sBTC) on bitcoin L2, enabled by Taproot on Bitcoin. Strategy (STRC, MSTR) - securities.. Oh and some BTC, mostly flowing away from the individual into STRC. Unbelievable. No way this will turn into another FTX, BlockFi, Celsius, Voyager, Three Arrows Capital, etc.. No way. This time is different. How do you sleep at night Saylor?

@SatoshiSwords @djsenior13 Only to see that it's a load of bullshit.

@TDuffles @djsenior13 You'll click our links.

@SatoshiSwords WTF is a web3 system

@SatoshiSwords @djsenior13 Web3 = shit Nice try though.

@TDuffles @djsenior13 Just wallet/portal is over 30k lines of code. We're the real deal

@NancyMace Why? So he can continue protecting the Epstein regime? Or for him to blow through another $3T this year and increase the US debt to 41T or 42T?

Pray for President Trump.

@Europarl_EN @EP_President

No democracy without media freedom. "The European Parliament stands firm in defending free speech, protecting journalists, and acting to uphold media freedom. Because a free press is essential to every democracy". @EP_President on World Press Freedom Day.

@BGatesIsaPyscho The Netherlands needs to make signs like Japan.

🇳🇱 Meanwhile on a Train in Holland The Netherlands opened their first Railway Line in 1839 - For almost 200 Years the Dutch have commuted in peace on trains. Then the people responsible for the destruction of Europe decided to let in tens millions of Migrants and this starts happening.

@Resist_CBDC You are aware who our last 4 (5 if you count trump twice) were. This shouldn't be a surprise for you.

Congress, including Republicans, passed laws: - putting a kill switch in your car - renewing FISA But can’t pass: - voter ID - CBDC ban What happened to “of the people, by the people, for the people?”

@IntCyberDigest Utah is competing with Texas on who can be the more retarded "Red" state.

‼️🇺🇸 Utah is about to become the first US state to legally target VPN use as part of online age verification. The law goes into effect Wednesday, May 6, 2026. 🔴 If you are physically located in Utah, you count as a Utah user, regardless of whether you use a VPN, proxy, or any other tool to disguise your location. Websites are now legally responsible for age-verifying you anyway. 🔴 Sites that handle "material harmful to minors" are banned from sharing instructions on how to use a VPN, or from offering any means to bypass geofencing. The EFF calls this a "liability trap." Websites cannot reliably tell where a VPN user actually is, so the safest legal move is either to block every known VPN IP outright, or to force ID-based age verification on every visitor worldwide. Either path subjects millions of users to invasive identity checks, regardless of where they actually live. The Cato Institute put it bluntly. When a policy can be defeated by a privacy tool millions of people legitimately use, the policy is the problem. The collateral damage is, as always, the people who actually need VPNs: 🔴 Journalists protecting sources 🔴 Domestic abuse survivors hiding from stalkers 🔴 Activists in hostile environments 🔴 Remote workers tunneling into corporate networks 🔴 Travelers banking from abroad 🔴 Anyone who simply does not want their ISP, employer, or data brokers reading their traffic This is not staying in Utah. The UK's Children's Commissioner has called VPNs a "loophole that needs closing." France's Minister Delegate for AI and Digital Affairs has named VPNs as "the next topic on my list." The EU is rolling out age verification across all 27 member states by end of 2026, with EVP Henna Virkkunen openly admitting they have no plan for VPN bypass yet. Utah is leading by example. EFF: "Attacks on VPNs are, at their core, attacks on the tools that enable digital privacy."

@eu_eeas Ahh, the good ole censorship is free speech. Fuck you guys.

A free press is essential to democracy. Across the world, journalists are threatened, forced into exile, detained or killed for doing their job, as we have seen in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and in conflicts in the Middle East and Africa.  Disinformation and intimidation continue to undermine independent journalism and the public’s right to know. The EU will continue to defend press freedom at home and around the world. Read the full statement by the HR/VP @kajakallas on behalf of the EU: link.europa.eu/6qWdMh

@EU_Commission Yet you guys are the tyrants of censorship.

Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰 Journalists hold power to account, uncover injustice, and keep citizens informed often at great personal risk. This #WorldPressFreedomDay, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting journalists and defending independent media. Because free press is the foundation of democracy.
