There is no reason Ian Freeman should still be in a cage.
This is the line to hold. Share this. Say his name. Call your reps. Ask the White House for a pardon.
Push the story into every feed you can reach. Freedom spreads when pressure spreads.
Let’s bring Ian home.

We’ve freed some, but the fight isn’t over. These men risked everything to challenge power and build a freer world.
The least we can do is bring them home.
The men who back currency with math instead of obedience terrify the people who run the printing press, and Ian Freeman has been one of those men since before most of the world had heard the word Bitcoin.
He helped launch the Free State Project. He helped put Bitcoin on the air for the first time anywhere, December 28th, 2010. He helped found Bitcoin Not Bombs on the conviction that sound money would one day starve the war machine.
He was right, and being right is exactly what the State imprisoned him for. He spent his freedom fighting for yours. Now he needs you to spend two minutes fighting for his.

Snowden gets it. The fear of libertarians makes no sense unless what you actually fear is losing control over others.
The whole point is consent. Voluntary exchange, voluntary association, voluntary life.
If that terrifies you, maybe the problem isn’t libertarianism. Maybe it’s how comfortable you’ve become with coercion.
It has been long enough.
Long enough for headlines to move on. Long enough for people to forget. Long enough for years of a man's life to be quietly consumed by a system that calls peaceful exchange a crime.
We do not accept it. We do not normalize it.
Free Ian Freeman.

"Real socialism has never been tried."
Neither has pure free-market capitalism.
The difference is that every attempt to move toward socialism has produced shortages, poverty, repression, and mass graves. Every step toward freer markets has produced more wealth, longer lives, lower infant mortality, cheaper goods, and opportunities previous generations could barely imagine.
One ideology keeps failing in practice while surviving in theory.
The other keeps succeeding in practice while being blamed for everything.
The phrase "that wouldn't be enough" has killed more liberty than any politician.
Nothing is enough by itself. That's the whole point. You do all of it at once, constantly, because freedom gets clawed back the same way it was lost, one cut at a time.
"I am free because I don't want to do anything illegal."
Comfort isn't liberty. Plenty of people feel free only because their appetites happen to be legal this year.
The real test is whether you'll fight for a freedom you will never personally touch.
You can hate it all you want, but authority is a costume humans read on sight. Pretending otherwise won't win you a single normie at the ballot box.
A movement that shows up to contest real elections dressed like cosplay fairies has already told the country it isn't serious.
If the actual goal is putting liberty in office instead of becoming the punchline of American politics, you put on the blazer. Looking ridiculous is a choice. So is losing.
Was great to be able to chat with Mark Edge @MarkEdgeShow at the 2026 @bchbliss conference a few weeks ago. Mark is a Bitcoin OG, BCH ally, and via @FreeTalkLive, likely exposed more people in the US to Bitcoin in the early days than any other source at the time. One story being that 'Bitcoin Jesus', @rogerkver, learned about Bitcoin through Mark's show in 2010, which we discussed in our conversation below.
Check it out and tune into his new show, 'Sal & Mark' with @SallyMayweather that's really picking up speed. We are working on BCH collaborations with Sal & Mark both in the near future.
Every road you take is being written down. Your church, your doctor, your lawyer, the house you parked outside at 2am, the protest you went to once. It is all in a file with your plate on it.
This is the antithesis of a free society.
There are 100,000+ cameras bolted to poles and stoplights across America, photographing your license plate, logging where you were and when, and handing that record to any cop in any state who wants it.
That number comes from DeFlock, a volunteer effort mapping the cameras one by one, and it climbs every week. Nobody really knows the true count. Some estimates run three times higher. A surveillance net too large to count is one no one can rein in, and the not knowing is part of the problem.
A school district in Georgia ran 375 of those searches to figure out where children sleep at night. "Residency verification," the officers typed in the box. They pointed a tool sold to "catch carjackers" at six-year-olds, to check whether a kid lived in the right zip code.
Police in more than 50 departments searched the network to track people at protests, some hunting named activist groups. Immigration agents with no legal access of their own had local cops run searches on their behalf, 4,000 of them in a single year.
The cameras do not care what they are aimed at. A net that catches the carjacker catches the churchgoer, the patient leaving the clinic, the gun owner, the man driving to a meeting he would rather keep quiet. It was built to catch everyone, because a camera cannot tell the guilty from the rest and was never asked to.
The men who sell these cameras know this. They market the carjacker and deliver the dragnet. Every plate. Every dent. Every Tuesday you drove past the same corner at the same hour. Filed, timestamped, and searchable by strangers with badges for as long as they care to keep it, which is forever.
This is what a police state looks like when it arrives.
Liberty is a numbers game, and you win it by moving enough people who actually mean "don't hurt people and don't take their stuff" into one state, then putting them on the ballot for the unglamorous offices nobody else wants.
The Free State Project works.
Public schools exist to be babysitters to free up both parents for the workforce and to manufacture a compliant tax base. Making children smart was never the point.
Thirteen years, eight hours a day, most of it filler, and the system graduates kids who can't read a lease.
