Starting June 1, we’re doing things better at Steak n Shake — all our beef will come straight from pasture-raised cattle. This beef will be 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, making us the only American burger joint serving the healthiest kind of beef.

@DiscussingFilm I thank this movie for introducing me to "My Love Song for You" by Nile Rodgers.

Also, this is easily one of the most unsettling movies I've seen in the past ten years.

Do you have any idea the absolute hellscape we are entering?

[TFTC @TFTC21]

Tether just froze $344 million in USDT across two Tron wallets at the request of OFAC and US law enforcement. This is why Bitcoin exists.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the company "acts immediately and decisively" when links to sanctioned entities or criminal networks are identified. To date, Tether has cooperated with 340+ law enforcement agencies across 65 countries, supported over 2,300 cases, and frozen more than $4.4 billion in assets.

They frame this as a feature. In their own words: "Public blockchains give investigators and issuers something cash cannot. A visible trail. Transactions can be followed, wallets can be flagged, and assets can be frozen before they are moved further."

Stablecoins are programmable dollars with a kill switch. And the entity holding that switch cooperates with the US government on demand.

Here's the part that should make everyone uncomfortable: the US government's posturing about banning CBDCs is a misdirection. There is no functional difference between a government-issued CBDC with account-level freeze capabilities and a government that can call Tether and have $344 million frozen within hours.

The CBDC ban lets politicians claim they're protecting financial freedom while the actual surveillance and control infrastructure gets built through regulated stablecoin issuers instead.

It always starts with the easy cases. Sanctioned entities, terrorist financing, fraud that nobody will publicly defend. But the tooling doesn't stay pointed at the easy cases. It never does. Operation Chokepoint started with payday lenders and ended with legal gun shops losing their bank accounts.

The freeze capability that targets the Lazarus Group today gets aimed at politically inconvenient actors tomorrow. That's not speculation. It's the documented pattern of every financial surveillance power ever granted to a government.

Bitcoin is a bearer instrument. No CEO to call. No company to subpoena. No kill switch to flip.

Nobody can freeze a Bitcoin wallet unless they control the private keys.

Stablecoins are a useful tool for some. Bitcoin is the exit.

Tether just froze $344 million in USDT in coordination with OFAC and US law enforcement.

Your stablecoins are not your stablecoins. They never were.

[TFTC @TFTC21]

Professor Jiang Xueqin claims bitcoin was created by the CIA.

"Why would you spend years, possibly decades, in your basement creating a new technology and then just give it for free to the world? That makes no sense."

"When you do game theory analysis, you look at all possibilities, you end up with the deep state. You end up with the CIA."

[Somebody @Lv99_Slacker]

@atxhodl @bramk Giving me Peter Zeihan vibes who I also suspect is a spook. Both of them aggressively ignorant about how bitcoin works.

I am not sure it is humanly possible for a person to pack more ignorance into 1min55seconds.

@joerogan @PeterZeihan

Almost every single thing this "expert" said in this short span of time is complete nonsense.

[Somebody @Lv99_Slacker]

@pnwguerrilla Sorry. You probably get this question often, but do you still sell MREs by the case? If so, how much...particularly Case A. Trying to avoid that cheese tortellini & tomato sauce. I've seen you go on about how awful it is. Lol.

@inneroperator Off grid (no ISP/cellular providers) bitcoin transactions via LoRa:

I'm Lv99Slacker who also just commented on your latest YT video as well. ;)

[Bitshala @bitshala_org]

No internet? No problem.

Bala just dropped the ultimate cypherpunk demo at the BOSS Summit: From Off-Grid to On-Chain

He literally broadcasted a live Bitcoin transaction using Mesh Radio.

No ISPs, no Wi-Fi, no cellular data.

Just pure radio waves bypassing the traditional internet layer to hit the mempool.

When we say we are building unconfiscatable money for uncertain times, this is exactly what we mean. Mind blown.

Here is the repo used to connect meshtastic to bitcoin core:https://t.co/HVKkj4dQcM
