Tonight is the last time I will sleep in my own bed next to my loving wife. For the next 5 years I will be housed in a federal prison at taxpayer expense for a "crime" without a victim. Just one of many victims of lawfare perpetrated by a weaponized Biden DOJ where truth and justice were sidelined in favor of a political anti innovation agenda. Where evidence was hidden and suppressed because it didn't fit the story highly partisan line prosecutors needed to tell. Where Supreme Court precedence was ignored by activist judges.
Tomorrow I will surrender to FPC Morgantown. I will no longer be Keonne Rodriguez inside that institution, instead I will be a number, 11404-511. But outside of those walls my name will be kept alive. My loving wife, my family, my friends, all of you who have supported #pardonsamourai will make sure of that. I know walking into that institution that the story doesn't end there.
I maintain hope that President @realDonaldTrump is a fair man, a man of the people, who will see this prosecution for what it was: an anti innovation, anti american, attack on the rights and liberties of free people. I believe his team @AGPamBondi@EdMartinDOJ@DAGToddBlanche and others truly want to end the weaponization of the DOJ that the previous administration wielded so effectively.
The framers of our Constitution gave the Executive the power to pardon for exactly this reason, to balance out and restore justice when no one else would. President Trump has proven he takes that power seriously. I believe he will continue to wield that power for good and pardon me and Bill.
Keep up the noise. Thank you all for your support. See you on the other side.
Just pay a normal living wage.
I find the offshoring shameful. There's plenty of Americans who would love to work a Coinbase support job and they would do a much better job but they cost money+benefits.
Instead, all of our personal information got nefariously stolen and now I'm bombarded every day with scam emails and texts from scammers trying to get into my Coinbase account.
Leaks can happen domestically too but they're almost always the result of a weak point in the security, not intentional. Coinbase customer data was not compromised, it was purchased bc the ppl they hired for support were literally scammers with no accountability, willing to sell customer data to other scammers.
Can't drive this home enough:
It wasn't a data breach.
Coinbase literally hired scammers who sold your info and now you'll get bombarded with scam texts/emails forever.
I respect Stack’s story.
He’s built something, he’s earned his freedom, and he’s using Bitcoin the way it was meant to be used: to buy back his time.
That’s what every Bitcoiner should aspire to.
But with that freedom comes a responsibility, especially when you’ve got a large audience of people who are still trying to find their footing.
They’re not sitting on 7-figure capital reserves.
They’re scraping together what they can.
They’re at the stage where one wrong move, one “opportunity” that turns out to be vapour, could wreck their entire future.
And that’s where I think the line has to be drawn.
Because Bitcoin isn’t an investment.
It’s a savings technology.
It’s the foundation, the base layer that protects you from the failure of everything else.
You don’t “diversify” into Bitcoin; you build on top of it once you understand it.
The rest, including AI, robotics, equities, and venture bets, are all investing.
Investing is a form of risk-taking, and it has its place, but not before someone has established sovereignty first.
You don’t experiment with the roof when the foundation’s still wet.
What worries me isn’t that Stack’s branching out, that’s his right.
What worries me is that newcomers will read his posts and think, “Maybe Bitcoin’s already too late. Maybe I should chase the next asymmetric play.”
That’s how people end up broke, bitter, and out of the game entirely.
They’ll forget that what separates Bitcoin from everything else isn’t its upside, it’s its truth and integrity.
Every other asset can be gamed, manipulated, or inflated.
Bitcoin alone sits outside that system.
It’s the savings account for the age of collapse.
You start there.
You build your defences there.
You stack until you’ve got real exposure, not a fraction of a fraction.
Then, once you’re secure, go build, take risks, and explore.
But not before.
If Bitcoin is the signal, everything else is noise until you’re tuned in.
Save first, speculate later.
If Stack’s message is about freedom, then mine is about order.
Because without order, freedom eats itself.
And Bitcoin is order. It’s honest, mathematical, incorruptible order.
You don’t move on from that.
You build from it.
