"and what about here in the conversation logs, where there's only one participant?" "that was where I carried you"

Buried on page 230 of the CLARITY Act is arguably the biggest win for the digital asset industry in the entire 309-page bill. Section 604: The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. If you build open-source blockchain software and don't have unilateral control over users' funds, you are not a money transmitter. Not under FinCEN rules. Not under federal criminal law. Not under state registration requirements. Writing code ≠ money transmission. Building self-custody tools ≠ money transmission. Running node infrastructure ≠ money transmission. For years, developers have operated under the threat that publishing code could expose them to money transmission charges. Section 604 eliminates that ambiguity entirely. It establishes a clear, codified legal protection for the people who actually build the open-source infrastructure this industry runs on. Senate Banking markup is Thursday. Read the bill.

@CleanSpark_Inc gets it. Multiple acquisitions from @BMAG_HQ & consistent supporter of creatives in the bitcoin space. This Todd Gray wall piece from B26 went up at their headquarters yesterday. Thank you for the patronage 🤝

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblue-s…

I think the best part of the @TheBitcoinConf for me was when I met this guy who was only there because of a rent a human. Some Claude Bot hired him to walk around the conf with meta glasses and film everything for him for “research”. Guy knew nothing about Bitcoin. Was just there to make $100 (his Claude boss found a free ticket for him). I forgot to ask if Claude paid for the glasses or if he already had them. We are early.

Thank you @TheBitcoinConf for letting me sneak fellow Bitcoiner @adriangrenier on stage to announce that Self Custody is becoming a TV series! This is about the people inside this movement told in a way only a culture defining show can. Not just for Bitcoiners. Great storytelling is how we bring the next wave into our world. Great sharing a stage with King of Cringe the champ @HenryCejudo and Director Garrett Patten. Bitcoin is going to Hollywood!

"This is a case that matters to bitcoiners and to the country at large. A pardon is the path, and I think it's justly deserved." - Lauren Rodriguez, wife of Keonne Rodriguez FREE SAMOURAI 🙌

This years bitcoin conference is more of the true believers. Last year it was elation. It’s always like this. When it’s up, these conferences are packed. When down, more chill - but the people are smarter.

Thank you @BranBTC and @TheBitcoinConf for resolving the issue with security and clarifying that the conference is standing with us in support of #freesamourai
