@_paperpsych Community with IRL events! We host out of various venues with the aim to acquire our own space.

Very proud of our upcoming events.

Big thank you to our community volunteers who make it happen.

The @HRF just announced 10 new grants from its AI for Individual Rights Fund, and some of these projects are exactly what the intersection of Bitcoin, AI, and freedom tech should look like.

The Ark: An AI assistant in East Africa where users pay per query with bitcoin over Lightning. No credit cards, no Western bank accounts, no subscriptions. Just sats for service.

Freedom Skills: A repository of pre-written code that teaches AI agents to use Bitcoin for uncensorable payments and Nostr for censorship-resistant communication. Giving dissidents agents that can transact and coordinate without centralized services.

Open Anonymity Project: A VPN for AI inference. Users can query ChatGPT or Claude anonymously so authoritarian regimes can't compel providers to hand over their data.

0xSero: Compressing state-of-the-art LLMs to run locally on laptops and phones. Private, offline AI for people living under surveillance states.

Maple AI: End-to-end encrypted AI assistant. No data stored, no data exposed.

The Human Rights Foundation is supporting AI for sovereignty instead of surveillance.

For the past three months, we've been building NYC's premiere open-source AI community 🦞🗽

We're excited to take it to the next level by hosting sessions where we don't just show off our agents to each other, but turn our projects into skills for each other to try out live.

Mark your calendars 🗓️ Thurs, May 14th!

Huge thank you to our sponsors @vellum_ai, @kilocode and @cakewallet for their ongoing support that make these events happen.

@vellum_ai Honored to be hosting with you all, and can't wait to strengthen the open-source AI community in NYC 🗽

bitcoin needs you.

don't listen to the slackers who believe that we all just need to kick back and enjoy watching this project succeed – without doing any actual work.

[Harrison Friedes @HarrisonFriedes]

Responsibility go up = freedom go up 🙂

The future is agentic, and thus the agentic must be free (as in freedom).

[Joe IO @Joe_IO]

My father uses Venmo.

He would never use a privacy coin wallet that asks him to pick a node or copy a seed into a notepad.

That's the bar.

If a normal person can’t open the app and send money in 30 seconds, we’ve lost.

If you're in the Denver area, this is by far the best way you can introduce your friends to Bitcoin

[The Space @SpaceDenver]

This Saturday, April 25th, bring your friends and family to The Space for our What is Money and Bitcoin 101 training series! You don't want to continue to be the awkward Bitcoin guy at your family functions, do you? If not, then this is a great place to have your loved ones learn about Bitcoin. Link in the comments to the Luma calendar to RSVP.

[AmityAge @AmityAge]

There is no "better time later" for Bitcoin adoption, because later always comes with a higher cost.

The monetary system is breaking. Misinformation is growing. Most people won't understand Bitcoin until it's too late.

You can change that. Start with your family, friends, and colleagues. Every Bitcoiner should become a micro-educator, not just a speaker or a teacher.

That's exactly what Bitcoin Educators Academy is for.
