HB230 #blockchain and digital amendments which some call the Bitcoin Strategic Reserves passes the #Utah senate committee! How are the other states doing? @tronblack @AaronGleave @nickilsanders @Amelia4Utah @TobinGardner @LindsayOnAir @agardiner14 #crypto #bsr

Reminded once again why I don’t fly @FlyFrontier. No update via the app, text or email to say the flight was delayed an hour. Finally arrive in Dallas and we’re told there’s congestion at the gate and it’ll be at least an hour before we can pull up. Should have flown @Delta. 🤦🏻‍♂️

#Suretybonds play a crucial role in #cryptoregulation. Learn what they are, their significance, and more in this interview with crypto surety bond pioneer, Brian Nelson @oppcreator. Read here: bitaml.com/2023/11/07/surety… #BitAMLblog

Surety bonds aren’t the most sexy part of business, and especially crypto, but it’s what I do and I love it!

The claim that FedNow is not the first step toward a CBDC would be more easily digestible were we not aware of the Biden administration’s steady barrage of hostile broadsides against cryptocurrencies. Between 2008-22, the Fed partnered with a handful of big banks to print $10 trillion-ten centuries of wealth in 15 years — a bonanza for the Banksters. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin give the public an escape route from the splatter zone when this bubble invariably bursts. So the White House is colluding with the banksters to keep us all trapped in the bubble of profiteering and control. In his Feb. 8 post on Pirate Wires, Nic Carter @nic_carter describes how the White House has organized bankers to participate in a sophisticated, widespread crackdown to destroy the crypto industry. Carter describes 15 incidents where President Biden has weaponized FDIC, OCC DOJ to force crypto-friendly banks to close their doors to crypto firms since Dec. 3. The recent crackdown on crypto blocks exit ramps, removes alternative rails, and strengthens government control over both the financial and political systems. We should be wary since CBDCs are the ultimate mechanisms for social surveillance and control. As Balaji Srinivasan @balajis says, “The distinction between FedNow and a CBDC is important from a technical standpoint, but not from a civil liberties standpoint.” Balaji compares FedNow to “a virus that has evolved to evade recognition by changing its sequence without really changing its function."

Truth! And the Fed will now be competing directly with financial institutions and FinTechs. It’s not a slippery slope, it’s a free fall without a parachute.

Doge is years unmaintained, a literal joke copy of outdated version of bitcoin with long known vulnerabilities. Factually #Bitcoin doesn't consume incremental power per transaction. And has layer2s like lightning and @Liquid_BTC which amplify capabilities. x.com/Liquid_BTC/status/1392…

Newsflash. There are no Doge developers.

Joe Biden is spending money like he is backed by Softbank...
