I would like to let you know I am absolutely focused on advocating for self-custody #Bitcoin and running nodes which defend the true ideals of Bitcoin, being free of spam and any data that does not belong or contribute to a monetary network.
Based on what I currently know and understand thanks tomore intelligent fellow Bitcoiners such as @hodlonaut, @TomerStrolight; amongst others I support BIP-110 .. @SimplyBitcoin
Let’s follow each other and fight side by side if you share the same values and also aim to defend our freedom, which Bitcoin Core seems to be gradually trying to take away from us with their gradual attack on the ideals of Bitcoin and its functioning.

Thank you to @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway for having me on! Appreciate the research that went into the thoughtful questions and discussion.
We derived some interesting results live about how mechanisms such as HIP-3* ought to work. This wasn't scripted and reflects close listening and quick learning by the hosts. I was impressed and enjoyed the conversation.
NEW ODD LOTS:
It’s the podcast debut for Jeff Yan
@tracyalloway and I have an ultra-rare interview with the CEO and co-founder of Hyperliquid Labs about his plan to house the world’s entire financial system

Tucker is so good at this. Here, he completely deconstructs this British politician’s entire theory of just war in under ten minutes. It quickly becomes transparent that the scaffolding upholding his entire moral justification for the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is just thought-terminating clichés, not a deep understanding of the tradition that begat ideas like “jus ad bellum” or “jus in bello” or something like that.
And this is why Tucker’s so popular. Compare these interviews with the ones he regularly gets from corporate press journalists. The difference in intellect is clear, but it also becomes obvious that, although traditional media pretends to care about speaking “truth to power,” on matters of war and peace, they are puppets for the regime. He's quite literally the only one with the same access who is doing it right.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 20 minute lecture by Andreas Antonopoulos will teach you more about the financial surveillance complex and KYC risks, than most people learn in years.
Bookmark it and share it, no matter what.

Your posts consistently apply the same MIC/FIC/TIC and follow-the-money framework to the US, China, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran and other nodes. No exclusive ideological bias against America appears. You treat states as power centres with competing incentives rather than advocating for any of them. The distinction between analysis and advocacy is frequently blurred by readers.

🟠 🚨 Stop waiting for the masses to understand Bitcoin.
Most won’t. Not anytime soon.
This is now a race between the people paying attention and the nation states accumulating in the background.
The window is small.
And they do NOT want you owning Bitcoin directly.
So they sell you convenience, custody, ETFs, yield and every legacy-finance thrill imaginable.
Because Bitcoin you truly own is Bitcoin they cannot control.
Most will fall for the wrappers.
Don’t be one of them.
Own the real thing.
Custody it yourself.

The Bitcoin space has become a cesspool of corruption. No matter what, don’t give them your keys. Don’t give them your sats. Don’t give them the one thing they want, control over your sovereignty. Black Rock is not your friend. Coinbase is not your friend. Wall Street is not your friend. Resist at all costs!

Big Pharma CEO of BioNTech says he's not allowed by law to take the vaccine because they need to ensure a functioning company.
But we were told it was ‘safe and effective’
Well, that's very telling.

I talk to @BenWestgate_ and @BtCPavao about how to store bitcoin safely with Bitcoin Core on an old laptop, generating and backing up keys, the problems with BIP39 seed phrases, when multisig makes sense, custodians, and why gambling and lending destroy stacks.

Doctors declare his son “brain dead.” They move to harvest his organs.
Father storms the hospital with a gun.
Son survives. Father goes to prison.
Brain death is a scam. They want your organs.
(1/25) 🚨⚠️ Healthcare Is the #1 Cause of Death — and It’s Not Even Close: A Thread
The medical system kills more than anything else. Even its most trusted sources (Johns Hopkins, BMJ, JAMA, etc) admit it’s a leading cause of death.
The reality is so much worse. 🧵👇

It took me longer to understand the dollar than Bitcoin.
We wanted you to understand Bitcoin so you could hold it in self-custody.
The FIC never wanted you to understand the dollar so you would keep it in their custody.
Your dollars in the bank are their liability.
Cash is the dollar in self-custody.
Now watch how hard they work to get rid of cash and replace it with stablecoins & CBDCs.

This is a psyop.
- Frames the entropy hack as a "mistake,"
- Says that he "wouldn't know what NVK is going through," but then states as a fact he must be feeling "guilt,"
- Caps it off with "I would tell him I am sorry this happened to him," turning NVK into the victim.

SPARROW WALLET RELEASES MAJOR SECURITY UPDATE AFTER EXTENSIVE AI-ASSISTED REVIEW
Sparrow Wallet v2.5.4 is out with a massive list of security hardening changes, including several major upgrades designed to reduce the amount of trust users place in external servers such as Electrum.
Some of the biggest changes:
Verifies that fetched transactions actually match the requested txid
Verifies Merkle inclusion proofs for newly confirmed transactions and leaves them unconfirmed if they cannot be proven
Maintains a verified block-header store anchored to pinned network checkpoints
Verifies proof of work on chain tips and warns when a tip becomes stale
Requires anti-klepto protection when using BitBox02 and raises the minimum supported firmware to 9.4.0
Hardens Ledger, Keycard, Trezor, Payjoin, PSBT and multisig handling
Redacts Bitcoin Core credentials and other secrets from debug logs
Restricts existing wallet and backup directories to owner-only permissions
Closes remaining local DNS resolution leaks when using Tor
Adds stronger validation across wallet imports, signing, downloads and server responses
The update significantly expands what Sparrow independently verifies rather than relying on data supplied by external servers, hardware devices and other inputs.
Sparrow v2.5.4 has been released, delivering the results of several extensive security reviews.
Thank you to all the contributors and security researchers who provided input on this release.

This is how ignorance and fear are weaponized to keep you away from the one thing created to set you free, while keeping you dependent on a system designed to continuously extract from you. Stay obedient. Keep pulling. Be a good little donkey.
Wall Street is making it cheaper and easier for investors to swap large BTC holdings for shares in ETFs -- once a bespoke service for the very wealthy becoming more reacheable. With @veenaalikhan1 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Bitcoin wrapped in legacy finance is NOT Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is MONEY.
Not digital credit.
Not a stock.
Not a fiat shitcoin.

If anyone of the orthodoxy questions the inevitable use of bitcoin as currency in preference for fiat instruments created out of thin air (reinventing the exact problem), please let me know where my logic is flawed or incorrect.

‼️ BEWARE: In light of the recent Coldcard incident, some people are rushing into anything labeled “Multisig” without understanding the trade-offs.
A 3rd party provider may not be able to spend your bitcoin, but that's only part of the equation. Depending on the provider and setup, you may also introduce KYC, privacy, regulatory, and institutional dependencies into your security model.
“They can't steal your bitcoin” does NOT mean “they can't become a dangerous dependency.”
Self-sovereign multisig does NOT require ANY 3rd party institution. Understand the trade-offs and make an INFORMED decision.
Protect your funds AND your privacy. Reach out to @Thebitcoinway_ and we'll guide you through the proper self-sovereign process.
