Back to basics.
Fiat money is fake and immoral.
Humanity is being cattle herded into a debt slavery system enhanced by AI-enabled dragnet surveillance.
Bitcoin fixes this.
If you don't get it, I don't have time to explain it to you. Figure it out.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.
There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.
When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).
The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.
Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.
Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.
The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.
The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

🚨 It's not just ZCash.
Opus 4.8 also found a vulnerability in $USD that allows for unlimited issuance which could theoretically enrich insiders at the expense of all holders

Bitcoin is volatile for a reason. The path to adopting bitcoin is not a security but instead understanding why it stores value. You will spend 40,000 hours of your life trying to make money. It's worthwhile to spend 100 hours figuring out how to keep it.

JUST IN: A new ad campaign launched across 🇸🇪 Sweden is making the case that Satoshi Nakamoto deserves the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
The campaign, created by Valour, is running in major newspapers, Instagram, and TikTok as part of a broader Bitcoin education initiative.
Among the article's most notable claims:
"Bitcoin is the world's first global, neutral infrastructure for the transfer of value."
And a bold comparison to Luca Pacioli, the inventor of double-entry bookkeeping:
"1494 introduced double-entry bookkeeping. The next major advance came in 2008."

Another inspiring Bitcoin story
Buena Vista, Colorado is becoming a new Bitcoin hub
* already 19 businesses onboarded already (more than Colorado Spings)
* Chamber of Commerce actively promoting it
* Feedback from businesses (who were not bitcoiners) includes:
"Our instore sales have increased, and 20% of our sales are now in Bitcoin"
"it feels cleaner"
"it feels more natural"
"1 in 8 of our sales are now in Bitcoin"
How did this happen?
One person who in his spare time doing something we can all do - talking to people with a mindset of service.
Luke Cortese(@ABCundrstandBTC) is the honeybadger who has been behind this incredible story.
But it gets better
Each month he runs a "treasure hunt" where new members of the community learn about Bitcoin. 25 new people started using Bitcoin on the last one.
AND
He's open sourcing the model so other small towns across the country can start onboarding new businesses. He's already gotten enquiries from neighboring towns, and states.

MAKE ORWELL FICTION AGAIN!
🚨🇪🇺 The European Commission is about to steal your search history in one of the largest forced data grabs in the history of the open internet, and almost nobody is talking about it.
The scope is staggering:
🔴 Every query you type
🔴 Every voice and photo search
🔴 Every autocomplete you accept
🔴 Your language, your device
🔴 Your country pinned to a ~3km² grid
🔴 Every result you saw, every link you hovered
🔴 Every click and scroll
🔴 The full chronological order of your search sessions
Meaning the European Union now knows your:
🔴 Health symptoms
🔴 Pregnancy
🔴 Sexual orientation
🔴 Political views
🔴 Religious beliefs
🔴 Financial distress
🔴 Legal trouble
🔴 Addictions
🔴 Affairs
Under the proposed measures for DMA Article 6(11), Google would be ordered to ship the daily search behaviour of hundreds of millions of Europeans to multiple third parties through a daily API feed. Any approved "online search engine," AI chatbots included, would get five years of access.
The things people only ever type when they think no one is watching. All of it now scheduled to flow daily into an open-ended list of third parties scattered across the European Union.
Brussels promises "anonymisation." The reality is a thin technical veneer that has been broken in academic literature again and again for over a decade. Search behaviour is a fingerprint. Stripping a name does not change that.
Mass data leaks become inevitable. Every new beneficiary is a new attack surface, and every annual audit is a year of silent exposure between checks. The 2025 Discord vendor breach already showed how fast 70,000 government IDs can leak through a single weak link. Now imagine that link holding Europe's search history.
Surveillance without consent becomes the default. Hundreds of millions of EU citizens never agreed to have their queries packaged and shipped to companies they have never heard of. The legal fiction of "anonymisation" cannot manufacture consent that was never given.
Behavioural search data is a goldmine for phishing, blackmail, social engineering, and corporate espionage.
Foreign intelligence services get a back door without effort. They do not need to breach Google. They only need to compromise the weakest name on the beneficiary list. One insolvent startup. One compromised contractor. One approved entity quietly acquired by a hostile state.
In the name of "competition," the EU is about to manufacture a permanent, distributed, daily-refreshed copy of Europe's collective search history. A surveillance dataset Brussels itself would never approve if any other government tried to build it.
The public consultation closes Friday, May 1, 2026 at 23:59 CEST. The final binding decision lands July 27, 2026.
After that, the door does not close again.
Tag your MEPs! File a response! Make noise!

In a world drowning in infinite money printing, Bitcoin's fixed supply is the lifeboat. It's the breakthrough that restores trust and value, anchored in scarcity amidst endless fiat dilution. Choose sound money over fleeting promises. 🌊🟧 #Bitcoin #SoundMoney

The year is 2040. Michael Saylor announces another multi billion dollar purchase. Strategy owns 10 million Bitcoin and price is still $75,000. You’re starting to wonder if paper bitcoin is real.

under sound money, prices should fall over time. not because things get worse, but because technology compounds.
entrepreneurship finds more efficient ways to make more with less, and sound money lets that surplus show up as purchasing power rather than being siphoned by inflation.
the fiat system doesn't just steal your savings. it steals the dividend your labour was owed from technological progress.
this is exactly why bitcoin has to become money you actually use, not just money you hold. "number go up" in fiat terms is the trap.
the real signal is prices going down in sats. your stack buys more every year because innovation does what it's supposed to.
great read as always! well worth your time
