Just got the call -
CVS upped our initial expectations, putting @trybetterbrand in 5800 stores this Fall, all of their "core locations."
We'll be available across the whole USA. The CVS big stamp gives us a lot of leverage, too.
Steadily becoming a brand name.
I pray that every young person with a dream makes it in crypto and that every older person who is stable with good finances loses a little bit of their money in crypto each year 🙏
Leaving Hong Kong incredibly impressed by the scene here.
Although crypto building is often Western in DNA, it’s the users who are in the east.
Bridging the gap between the two will be the key to genuine adoption in the near future.
i don’t quite understand why some celebs say they’ll stop using this site after the legacy checkmark is taken away. they’re still themselves regardless
do they use twitter or any platform just because they’re given some exclusive perks, so they feel special over others?
Often see my security guard around the neighborhood when he's not on duty, must live close by.
He gets so excited whenever he sees a resident.
Don't think he speaks any English but I match the energy and we wave and act like best friends every time.

Memetic warfare in action.
NYT came out with a big piece against bitcoin mining (which had a number of errors).
Now there’s a growing account with a lot of engagement criticizing the NYT’s usage of trees.
In the analog world, it's all about offense. In the digital world, it's all about defense. Bitcoin has the strongest computing network in the world🤔
@APompliano
The claim that FedNow is not the first step toward a CBDC would be more easily digestible were we not aware of the Biden administration’s steady barrage of hostile broadsides against cryptocurrencies.
Between 2008-22, the Fed partnered with a handful of big banks to print $10 trillion-ten centuries of wealth in 15 years — a bonanza for the Banksters.
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin give the public an escape route from the splatter zone when this bubble invariably bursts. So the White House is colluding with the banksters to keep us all trapped in the bubble of profiteering and control.
In his Feb. 8 post on Pirate Wires, Nic Carter @nic_carter describes how the White House has organized bankers to participate in a sophisticated, widespread crackdown to destroy the crypto industry. Carter describes 15 incidents where President Biden has weaponized FDIC, OCC + DOJ to force crypto-friendly banks to close their doors to crypto firms since Dec. 3. The recent crackdown on crypto blocks exit ramps, removes alternative rails, and strengthens government control over both the financial and political systems.
We should be wary since CBDCs are the ultimate mechanisms for social surveillance and control. As Balaji Srinivasan @balajis says, “The distinction between FedNow and a CBDC is important from a technical standpoint, but not from a civil liberties standpoint.” Balaji compares FedNow to “a virus that has evolved to evade recognition by changing its sequence without really changing its function."
