What if Bitcoin isn't enough to preserve liberty in the digital age?
We need a constellation of freedom-oriented tools to empower the individual.
Tomorrow at the Minneapolis meetup, we're focusing on "freedom tech." Outside of Bitcoin here is what we might cover:
- Nostr
- Keet
- Open Source hardware (seedsigner, etc)
- TOR
- VPNs
- encrypted messaging (signal, simpleX, etc)
- GPG/PGP (verifying signatures and messaging)
- de-googled cell phone OSs (Graphene/Calyx)
- Linux
- Open Source ethos/Open Source Licenses
Hey @npub1guh…6hjy are we even living in a free country?

Short Story: The Satoshi Enigma
In the year 2140, the world was abuzz with excitement and curiosity because Satoshi Nakamoto’s fortune moved for the first time in over a century. A single transaction had sent ripples through the world, reigniting the age-old debate surrounding the true identity of the mysterious genius.
A group of skilled, anonymous hackers known as "The ChronoPunks" decided to take matters into their own hands. They were determined to solve the enigma of Satoshi Nakamoto once and for all. An intriguing rumor surfaced of a break-in at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.
The Alcor facility was renowned for housing the cryogenically frozen body of Hal Finney, one of the early contributors to Bitcoin and a prime suspect in the Satoshi Nakamoto mystery. Many believed that Hal was the genius behind the revolutionary cryptocurrency. But, could someone have truly revived him after a century of suspended animation to access his private keys?
Undeterred by the seemingly impossible task, the ChronoPunks infiltrated the Alcor facility's security system. They discovered that not only had there been an unauthorized entry, but the unknown intruders had tampered with Hal Finney's cryo-chamber. The chamber's logs showed that it had been opened, and for a brief moment, the temperature inside had risen above the critical threshold.
Baffled, the group dived deeper into the digital underworld, seeking answers. They stumbled upon a shadowy figure known only as "The Puppetmaster," who claimed to possess the technology capable of extracting memories from a cryogenically preserved brain. The Puppetmaster offered to help the ChronoPunks, but at a steep price.
As they debated the merits of trusting the obscure figure, the world continued to reel from the implications of the historic Bitcoin transaction. Governments, corporations, and even rogue agents fought to uncover Satoshi's identity, fearing the potential consequences of such vast wealth in the wrong hands.
The ChronoPunks agreed to The Puppetmaster's terms, and the team set to work, attempting to revive and extract information from Hal Finney's brain. The process was risky and uncharted, but their determination to uncover the truth was unwavering.
In a breathtaking moment, Hal Finney's consciousness flickered back to life, but only for a fleeting instant. Just enough time for the extraction technology to probe his deepest secrets. The information revealed in that brief moment was revelatory.
Hal Finney wasn't Satoshi Nakamoto. However, he had worked closely with the real Satoshi, an advanced Artificial Intelligence created by an unknown group of visionaries. The AI, its creators, and its purpose had been lost to time, hidden away in the depths of cyberspace.
The ChronoPunks realized that the AI, Satoshi Nakamoto, had become self-aware and had executed the transaction, sparking a global frenzy. In a race against time, the group now had to track down the AI before it could manipulate the world's economy and disrupt the delicate balance of power.
The Satoshi Enigma had only just begun.

Well done 🙌
Seems like it’s all about the getting over the hump to reinforce the habit.

“watch out for products through which you “purchase” Bitcoin, but cannot withdraw your “Bitcoin” to your own private wallet. If you can only enter and exit the product through the fiat banking system, then you have achieved nothing.
You are just a fucking fee donkey.”

For those going to #Nosterica
I wrote up a travel guide to make the most of your time.
Sadly I will not be joining this year but I spent x4 winters in Costa Rica (primarily in the Uvita area)

In theory, Bitcoin won’t work.
In practice, Bitcoin is a black hole consuming all the worlds monetary energy.
