1/8 Today, we introduce CTR, the coordination asset for the Bitcoin economy.
Over the past two years, we built an end-to-end Bitcoin economy that relies on the Bitcoin Network as its source of truth.
With CTR, we're handing control of this economy to the people who use it.

Yes. Twitter Files docs show the FBI reimbursed Twitter ~$3.4M (2019-2021) for staff time processing law enforcement requests under 18 U.S.C. §2706. Many requests involved flagging accounts/tweets for "misinfo" review—often election-related—leading to moderation. FBI called it routine data costs, not directing censorship. Taxpayers funded the process.

The FBI was using our tax money to pay Twitter to censor us. Priceless.

The fact that people take issue with plebs renting hash, literally spending their own sats, but stay quiet when blockspace is being flooded with spam and users are being farmed for it, says everything.
This isn’t about principles. It’s about selective outrage.

Plebs renting hash just decentralizes FPPS. If you somehow have a problem with that then you're transparently a fool or have bad intentions.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. I’m completely devastated.
Last Friday, I️ was notified that my monetization had been paused.
I’ve shown up on this app for 5 years straight every single day to grow my account to what it is now. I️ never once paid for ads, never bought followers, never did anything but grow in an organic way.
After appealing once, I️ was told my account was removed due to spam and inauthentic content. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I️ spend 6-12 hours on X daily in addition to my full time job; creating content, interacting and posting. I’ve adapted to new algorithms, posting strategies and even started a newsletter. I️’ve stopped using any other online platforms as I️ truly value the freedom and community X has brought me. Every single holiday, family event, vacation, wedding, birthday, you name it, I’ve been active on X during it.
I’ve never once taken for granted the audience I’ve grown on this app and have thoroughly enjoyed the relationships I’ve built because of it. During this last period in which I️ was removed, I️ proposed to my girlfriend of 7 years. During this proposal trip, I️ stayed active online the entire time, which is nothing new. I have given up years of time to create something bigger with no regret. But now, after being denied and repeatedly called a spam account, with no way to plead my case, my last resort is to post here.
Having to do this publicly feels so pathetic. It’s been almost a week and 2 appeals later, and I️ can’t get in touch with anyone who’s willing to help. I haven’t been given any clarification of where I️ went wrong or if there is a pathway to resolution. How can I️ dedicate myself so profoundly to something for so many years without being given any chance to make a simple change in my form of content? I’ve never had my account flagged or even been told of any misconduct in a 5 year period. The first I️ hear of an issue is ironically on pay day after spending hours upon hours working online during my vacation.
I️ don’t expect everyone to be able to understand the severity of this situation because they will never see the time, sacrifices and work put into growing an account from 0 followers to over 260k. I️ can’t begin to explain the things I’ve sacrificed to get to the point of being a creator and I️ can’t help but feel like the platform has failed me.
To you, this may just be a lighthearted meme account you follow. To me, this has altered my life. I️ was committing to go full time on X and even put in notice at my full time job. It is every content creators dream to be able to take this on full time, and to have it taken away from you almost as soon as you got it, feels gut wrenching.
Over the last 2 years I’ve told everyone how important it is to get a blue checkmark, pay for premium and begin to monetize their account. I️ couldn’t have been louder about how much I️ love this platform and truly felt it was the only platform worth being on. The freedom I️ was given was amazing up until now. I️ truly never thought something like this would happen.
All of this to say, I️ am not a spam account and I️ deserve reconciliation. I️f there is a specific thing I’ve done wrong, I️ will adapt my content to no longer do so. But a permanent suspension with a false reasoning will never be okay with me. I️ would hope that you are also not okay with taking away the livelihood of the creators on a platform that prides itself on free speech.

NEW: Officer “Pound Cake” Cooley took the stand today and acted like he had no idea why he was being called Pound Cake.
Roll the tape!
Afroman’s attorney promptly reminded him.
Shawn Cooley said the video and being called a thief subjected them to humiliation, emotional distress, and death threats to himself and his family.
Pound Cake, I mean Shawn, stated he received hundreds of pound cakes at work from people.
Cooley stated Afroman claimed he was high, and he vehemently denied ever doing drugs.

Afroman Lays Down Facts: Wrapping up his time on the stand, Afroman drops hard truths As his time on the stand wrapped up today, Afroman decided to let the prosecution hear it. If the deputies wanted to avoid public scrutiny, they shouldn’t have kicked down his door and stolen his money. “I have a right to kick a can in my backyard, use my freedom of speech, turn my bad times into good times. Yes, I do…and I think I’m a sport for doing so.”

Police will break into your house, point guns at your family, cause $24,000 of damage to your property, then sue you for making fun of them.
Justice for Afroman! youtu.be/j8krhebshpw?si…

BREAKING: SQUARE TO AUTO-ENABLE BITCOIN PAYMENTS FOR MILLIONS OF SELLERS
Square will auto-enable Bitcoin payments for all eligible sellers starting March 30, 2026, according to an updated Terms of Service notice sent to users.
The change means millions of businesses using Square could soon begin accepting Bitcoin by default, rather than opting in manually.
The rollout is part of Block’s broader push to integrate Bitcoin payments across its ecosystem, leveraging the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions.
Sellers will still have the option to disable the feature or automatically convert Bitcoin to USD at the point of sale.
With Square powering millions of merchants globally, this marks a major step toward making Bitcoin a standard payment method in everyday commerce.

As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals.
