Any update on the U.S. governments digital asset holdings?
EO said 30 days they needed to know and see which government depts could transfer to one central spot

We have to die on the self-custody hill.
We need more and more people using Bitcoin in self-custodial ways. It can be user friendly and self-custodial!
The market has not yet priced in Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.

Sorry was just typing too fast. Point is, bitcoin is permissinless and open. If you follow consensus and pay the fee, that’s a valid transaction
Like I don’t care.
These fucking people wanting to approve or disapprove of what should go in a block (even when it meets consensus) is bullshit culture wars, not technical.
It’s the same people who yelled about progressive Bitcoiners in bitcoin lol. No surprises there
Op return doesn’t prevent the so called spam. But removing it may prevent more mining centralization from what I can tell. It’s not a big deal
Either bitcoin works or doesn’t. And it works bc of the free market fees and permissonless decentralized system

What percentage of Americans do you think understand that you can self-custody bitcoin, or would even understand the notion of truly owning your own money without bank IOU’s?
Imma say 1%
That’s 3.3 million people out of 334,000,000
Yeah, we’re early

Too many American voters are looking for strong men emperors when heading to the ballot box to fix problems that a president can’t solve or shouldn’t be allowed by executive authority.
That’s one of my fears—that we can’t agree on our democracy and separation of powers.

In addition to “no,” the answer is a society where individual rights and civil liberties are protected and revered, where the govt gets its power from the people (including a govt that serves the people with the revenue it does receive, not interests that are not focused on or hurt the people), not the people inslaved to the government, and where decentralized freedom tech, stateless money, and local communities and families thrive

Dude lives on a boring street where all the houses are the same, then one day he gets paint dropped on his and he keeps making it crazier and crazier. The neighbors are upset at first, but then the whole street follows.
“My house is me and I am it. My house is where I like to be and it looks like my dreams.”

The plague of American politics the past couple decades is people looking for a strong man to fix their problems, when they should take accountable and action in their own lives.
This AND the fact that, as many of us here know, there are underlying structures outside the presidency or elected officials that affect their lives, like our broken money and incentive structures.

Those folks would “come back” if democrats can talk about building a future and even go so far as to say it’s ok to build wealth and be prosperous (which also created a fairer world and helping the most vulnerable)

2025-04-01 15:13:25

The only way we can build an effective progressive movement and get folks jazzed up again is Obama level enthusiasm. I think abundance brings that.
Only talking about protecting minimum wage and benefits, that should be the default. What’s beyond that? That’s dull.
Like the democrats for too long (especially far left) have talked about minim wage and benefits. Thats it! Not at all about things beyond that like a brighter, more optimistic future. Building wealth, living out your dreams, hell having time and money for a vacation, etc.
If your only promise is benefits and minimum wage—guess what, you’re still poor and probably working a job you don’t want. At its worst, you’re just pushing for Soviet Russia. Fuck that

Bluesky had a rallying cry that brought users in. In the millions!
That THEN was the launch for them to raise funds and grow even more.
What’s nostrs rallying cry to bring in more users, to then launch it beyond?
People think there’s X, and then there’s Bluesky (which are claiming to be the decentralized people focused protocol). Outside Bitcoin they have no fucking clue about nostr, and even many bitcoiners won’t use nostr.

You know the Bluesky/AT protocol world better than me
But maybe it’s just the way I’m seeing it be discussed as more direct focus on social apps.
Whereas nostr has a bit of an everything app approach (that’s not uh…quite realized and developed yet…if ever 😬)
So for ATP perhaps it’s less technical and more just what builders are focused on? Whereas some in nostr I feel like aggressive want to pursue things other than social apps and talk a big game of nostr in everything…

2025-03-30 14:36:09

Bluesky expanding, branding of your followers/identity stay with you. And they’re building sleek social apps connecting to the AT protocol
It not nostr v X

I often find myself longing for the 90s and the childhood I had.
I forgot where I heard this, perhaps abundance from Ezra Klein, but this is the first time in history where generations in the U.S. are consistently looking back, longing for days past, rather than looking forward with hope and optimism.
The 90s were more affordable, more prosperous for everyone, less global conflict, less anxiety/depression, etc.
The one positive I feel, as our world shifts away from the world I once knew, is that local town centers and creators are starting to thrive in some places, and less malls dept stores, etc. That gives me hope. I’ll focus more on the local and my community, and less from this national and global chaos. It’s the only thing that keeps me sane.

it’s also right now by design that GOP is cutting the legal immigration system and immigration court which would SPEED UP this process and actually legally deport more undocumented people. We need more judges and immigration court workers. But they’re cutting it intentionally to then say “well we can’t possible get to them all lawfully, so we’re just gonna shoot from the hip.”
The answer to the problems that, yes democrats created way too much of with an immigrant crisis, is not to gut funding to help fix this problem, its to increase lawful paths to legal status AND speed up deportation so that dangerous people aren’t just in our streets in escaping detention.
If we could get past partisan debate on this in dc, we need a coalition of tough on boarder GOP, and those in the DNC, to meet and work together on this. They won’t, and we all lose.
