Hello all, On Friday I got news that I am to be transferred to a new institution. I will no longer be an inmate at FPC Morgantown. I am a little disappointed because this is a nice place (for a prison) and my wife can visit easily. For security reasons they do not tell you where you are going but I am hopeful that it won't be too far from home. I was told to be ready to "pack out" on Monday or Tuesday - it is very likely I will be leaving on Wednesday - so I spent the weekend getting ready to leave. It is amazing how much stuff you accrue in such a short period of time, it has been nearly 6 months since I arrived here. I expect they will call me down to "R&D" (receiving and discharge) where they will inspect my belongings to make sure there is no contraband and I am not taking anything unauthorized and pack them away in a box or two that they will ship to my new institution. As for "shipping" me, it is very likely that I will be flown out to the central transit prison hub in Oklahoma before I am then flown onward to wherever they are putting me. Yes, Con-air is a real thing. Needless to say going through transit (Oklahoma) is a real nightmare. You can be stuck there from 1 day to several weeks, you're around all kinds of prisoners of all different security levels. No one looks forward to Oklahoma - myself included. There is the slightest possibility of avoiding the transit nightmare. On Friday after I got word I submitted a formal request (a "cop out" in BOP lingo) to the CMC (case manager coordinator) here at the institution. I requested that they allow me to perform what is called a 'transfer furlough' which means instead of the BOP spending upwards of $10,000 to fly me across the country several times my wife can come pick me up and drop me off at my new location at my own cost. Transfer furloughs are rare of course, but the CMC didn't reject it outright, he promised to take it up the chain of command and let me know. So while I am not expecting it, there is the slightest glimmer of possibility that they allow it. Considering that I have had no incident reports, that i self surrendered, that I had no issue on pre-trial supervision for nearly 2 years, etc, all makes a compelling case that I can be trusted to self transfer. So here is to hoping for the best. I will let you know where I will be once I know where I will be. All the best, Keonne

#278: Don't Sell Your Bitcoin. Live Off It. with @Firefish_io Rehypothecation has never been cryptographically impossible in Bitcoin-backed lending. Because every previous platform was a custodian — and the custodians all failed. And the first company to engineer rehypothecation out at the protocol level was built by a power trader who'd spent a decade pricing counterparty risk in physical commodity markets. @MartinMatejka, Co-founder & CEO of @Firefish_io, joins me to lay out the case in plain English: why he walked away from running power trading at one of Europe's largest utilities once he realized Bitcoiners deserved better than BlockFi, how Firefish engineered a 3-of-3 multisig where the platform itself cannot move your collateral, what happened on February 6 when Bitcoin fell $30K in a single day and only 1.7% of loans even triggered margin calls, the 6,000 BTC secured in multisig across 27,000 users in 70 countries, and why, after all of it, his bet is simple — Bitcoin wins, fiat decomposes.
