54/ Finally, I would like to thank the government of Canada for providing a sneak preview of what I have been worried about.
A lot of you will still think I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist (I am not), but fewer of you than a week ago will think that
53/ tl;dr
✅Financial systems underpin everything, including our constitutional rights
✅Weaponizing the financial system to resolve domestic dissent or even criminal justice issues is a terrible precedent to set
✅We must preserve non-custodial wallets at all costs
44/ I have just been discussing the immediate term effects.
The long-term effects will be worse. I suspect without explicit action, many of the people unbanked now will not be rebanked because financial institutions won't want the headache of doing so

Food for thought.

Also, deadheads minted before stoner cats.
I love both and own both.

I want my career earnings to last generations. The average NFL career is 3 years and inflation is real.
Saving and preserving money over time is hard, no matter who you are.
In today’s world: How do we save?
This is why I believe in #bitcoin
