Recently, we added Lightning through our integration with @arkade_os and @satora_io to make P2P Bitcoin trading faster, cheaper, and more accessible. ⚡️

The response has been incredible, with offers steadily growing across the marketplace since launch. 🔥

If you haven't tried it yet, this is the perfect time to create offers in your region, reach more traders, and experience faster Bitcoin transactions. ⚡️🚀

@schmidt1024 no, that was forseeable.

❗️ The EU's digital identity wallet apps require an Apple or Google account to function. A sovereign European ID system that can't run without US Big Tech. 😂

• Officials say Apple/Google were chosen "for security reasons" and cover the largest user base.
• "Other ecosystems" support is only being studied, not built.
• EU wants every state to have a working wallet by year-end. No country looks set to make it.

GrapheneOS a retiré tous ses serveurs d’OVHcloud et quitté la France en évoquant des attentes de backdoors dans le chiffrement, des menaces policières/judiciaires etc

Meilleure décision et preuve de fiabilité en partant !

Les vrais risques sont progressifs :

⚠️ Réglementations qui obligent les OS à collecter des données (âge, ID)

⚠️ Durcissement de Google contre les ROM custom

⚠️ Pressions sur les fabricants (Motorola/Lenovo)

Mais @GrapheneOS préfère être interdit dans certains endroits plutôt que de trahir ses principes 🙏

Am Ende sind die ganzen postindustriellen Bullshit-Jobs nichts anderes als eine Art Tagesbetreuung für junge Frauen, um sicherzustellen, dass diese keine Kinder bekommen.

People go mental when someone turns off a TV showing a football match, but when they print 80% of all money in history and wipe away most of their wealth they do nothing.

Illegale Einreise? Unkontrollierbar.

Die Ausreise eines eigenen Staatsbürgers verhindern? Kein Problem.

Maximilian Märkl wurde am Münchner Flughafen gestoppt.

Flug nach Portugal, Ausreiseverbot bis Ende Mai 2026.

Offizielle Begründung der Bundespolizei: Er gefährde „das Ansehen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.”

Ich schreibe selbst über Auswandern, Steuern, Flaggentheorie. Ich nehme das persönlich.

Ob Märkl rechts, links oder das letzte Einhorn ist, spielt keine Rolle. Diese Frage lenkt ab, und das ist vermutlich gewollt.

Was zählt: Ein Staat, der Grenzen nach außen nicht kontrollieren kann oder will, findet plötzlich sehr genaue Kontrollmechanismen, wenn jemand raus will.

Die Hintergründe sind, soweit mir bekannt, nicht vollständig bestätigt. Die Begründung selbst steht. Und sie reicht.

Wer meint, das treffe nur Randpersonen, sollte kurz überlegen, was er selbst öffentlich schreibt. Über Steuern. Über Wohnsitz im Ausland. Über diesen Post hier.

The Sovereign Individual predicted Bitcoin. It predicted populist political movements. It predicted mass immigration. And it predicted this: $300 drones destroying $10 million tanks.

Asymmetric drone warfare is here. BBC confirmed 35 strikes. Israel spent $700M to respond. Russia is building 7 million this year.

Throughout history, when the asymmetry of violence shifts, everything reorganizes. Printing press. Gunpowder. Internet. We're at another inflection point.

Today's Brief: what this means for the individual, and why you should be paying attention.

The f*ckng developers of Samourai wallet got 5+ years and they didn’t steal a cent from anyone.

When you think you hate your govt enough, you find out you’re wrong.

[Giacomo Loathsome Bitcoin Destroyer Zucco @giacomozucco]

As a libertarian, I am against state borders and in favor of *absolutely uncontrollable* immigration. But jailing people who disagree with me on this one is beyond dystopian. Judges mandating this madness and cops enforcing it should be punished proportionally.

The college enrollment cliff is no longer a forecast. It is happening right now, and the damage is showing up everywhere:

Clemson is $1.5 billion in debt. Syracuse just eliminated 93 academic programs, 55 of which had zero students enrolled. UNC-Chapel Hill is cutting $89 million over three years. Duke let 600 employees go in a $350 million budget reduction. Indiana's higher education commission voted to eliminate or merge 580 degree programs across all public universities. The University of Vermont is projecting a 15% drop in its freshman class. Vermont alone has had five college closures in the last three years.

These are not small schools nobody has heard of. These are flagship state universities and elite private institutions.

The projections are brutal. High school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025 and will now decline steadily through 2041. A 15% drop in college-age students is expected by 2029. A worst-case scenario from a December 2024 study projects up to 80 additional college closures per year through 2029. Since 2020, more than 48 public and private colleges have already shut down.

US births peaked at 4.3 million in 2007. The birth rate dropped 4% between 2007 and 2009 and never recovered. 2026 is 18 years later. The baby bust generation just hit college age, and there are not enough of them to fill America's universities.

The American university system was built for a population that no longer exists. Tuition kept rising while the number of 18-year-olds started falling. The endowments of Harvard and Stanford will be fine. Everyone else is fighting over a shrinking pie with a cost structure designed for a world where 4.3 million babies were born every year.

That world ended in 2007. The bill just came due.

River CEO @Leishman built a time-lock encryption oracle as a side project.

Upload a file, choose when it should be unlockable, and the system encrypts it with an RSA key that only becomes available at the specified time. Anyone with the encrypted file can decrypt it in their browser once the key is released.

It publishes RSA keys for each minute over the next 30 days, then releases the corresponding private key at the top of each new minute. Works in the browser for humans and via curl and openssl for developers and AI agents.

Use cases: delayed data access, embargoes, sending messages or files to the future, or anything else that needs a trustless time delay.

A guy jokingly tweeted “olaf scholz you bastard what the hell is this” in frustration because Fortnite was stuck at 3% download. As a result, German authorities investigated him for committing a criminal offence (insulting a politician, §188 StGB) and forced him to delete it.
