Less than 25 years ago. About when the movie The Matrix came out, the thought of the government demanding to know your assets was almost unheard of. You had a right to own gold, collectibles & cash and it was no one’s business. If you had income you were supposed to report it…

The U.S. Dept. of Justice needs to be reined in. With their recent actions, they are unjustly destroying lives, directly threatening financial privacy and other basic liberties for the rest of us, and effectively nullifying the rule of law.

The fine folks at @CoinCenter provide…

Today, my government gave up all pretense and just declared outright war on financial privacy. It's really sad. 🥲

This indictment is absolute trash. The government alleges in Count 1 that about 5% of the bitcoin that were involved in these collaborative multi-party transactions…

Today, I lost a little more respect for the law. 😢

Dear U.S. Bank, your security policy is stupid. I should not have to *lower* my personal security level by disconnecting from my VPN (which is otherwise always on) just to log in to my account. And even if you insist on enforcing such a policy in order to lazily avoid improving…

After a long and detailed analysis of the situation, I've changed my mind and decided that hard money was just a 5000-year fad. This current 52-year experiment where money is whatever the money printers tell us it is, well that is clearly the solution that best benefits all of…

American friends/family, you are aware that your government has made it *illegal* for you to be even *told* about some of the very best investments available if you have a middle-class income and net worth, right? Doesn't that make you angry?!

There are so many amazing private…

Shareholders have fully approved the DWAC-TMTG merger deal! Huge CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU to Eric Swider for all the hard work, especially over the last year. Can't wait to celebrate with you!

Boarded now, DL1859, JFK-SJU. Last leg of a very long day. #sleepontheplane

It's way past time. #FreeRoss now!

Boarded now, 5J362, MNL-MFM. Just beat the door closing. 😁

Wow. That's ridiculous. I fully expect governments to someday 6102 paper bitcoin IOUs held in ETFs and exchanges. But I can't imagine how a private company could justify force selling. No doubt huge lawsuits incoming.

After just 9 weeks of Javier Milei in power, the government of Argentina has its first budget surplus in over 12 years. In US terms, Milei turned a 1.2 trillion-dollar annual deficit into a 400 billion surplus.

It’s possible here too. Unlike my predecessors, I’ll actually drain…

For most big, systemic problems in your life, there is a very complex political solution that, honestly, isn't going to be implemented no matter how you vote. But there is also likely a very simple, straightforward, geographic solution that you can implement for yourself…

I played so beautifully today. I want to say I'm happy with that, and it doesn't bother me that the results didn't come. But the reality is I am just so frustrated.

I was chip leader, or maybe a close second in chips, in the PLO tournament. Ten players left. Top 8 get paid. The…

I need to get better about keeping my head in the game when weird stuff happens at the poker table. Here's tonight's example of a terrible mistake where I just got flustered for a second and it cost me my tournament life.

It's an NLH turbo with 20-second shot clock. Blinds…

Another min cash. This tournament #poker thing is so frustrating.

For my friends who think the Super Bowl is the most important thing in the world today, I can assure you almost no one on this side of the planet cares. In fact, many people here don't even know what the Super Bowl is!

Last leg...boarded now KE621, ICN-MNL. In four hours, my body will catch up to my heart. 😍 🇵🇭
