My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".
Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.
The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.
I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.
The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.
I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.
If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

In other words, it’s now cheaper to wipe your *** with their currency than with actual toilet paper.
🧵 The cost of everything technology touches is falling toward zero. That's not just a catchy phrase—it's an economic reality, and it has profound implications for our future. Let's explore why this matters.👇

you must be kidding me right @GooglePlay? do you have any actual rules for publishing apps? your communication with developers is beyond any professional standards.
after weeks of complying with their requests, now they've decided to remove "bitchat" for profanity! PROFANITY!
The bitchat @Google play store saga so far:
- first they publish an impersonator app which got over 100k downloads
- dozens of reports for impersonation didn't help, only after causing a shitstorm on X things actually started moving
- I tried to submit the real bitchat app 5 times, don't even get me started on "you need 12 testers for 2 weeks before you can publish anything"
- my app gets rejected for "copyright" – DUDE I'M THE COPYRIGHT OWNER
- nothing working, no reply on appeals for a week until I cause another shitstorm on X, finally things are moving again
- I resubmit the app, following their instructions *exactly*, thinking finally we've covered all their requirements
- now I get a rejection because of PROFANITY. seriously? what about the numerous impersonators and all the other "bitchat" knockoffs you publish on the store... to this date?
this is the worst experience I've ever had. without a sizable following on X, how would I ever had progressed at this at all? do you need friends at Google to publish an app?
The Real War Is in Your Wallet
Why Understanding Money, Not Politics Is the Key to Protecting Your Family’s Future
What I’ve come to realize is that the true war, the one that matters most for me, my family, and for anyone trying to build a stable life, isn’t being fought between Republicans and Democrats. That’s the surface-level theater. The real war is deeper, quieter, more enduring. It’s the war against time, inflation, systemic decay, and the erosion of purchasing power. It’s the battle between those who understand how money works… and those who are silently impoverished by not knowing.
We are all born into a monetary system we didn’t design, but that doesn’t mean we can afford to ignore it. The dollar in your hand today is not the same dollar your parents had. That erosion, slow and silent is the most dangerous kind. It doesn’t come with alarms or headlines. It comes through rising food bills, stagnant wages, deteriorating public services, and the creeping sense that no matter how hard you work, you’re always one step behind. And when you zoom out, you see this isn’t about politics, it’s structural. It’s demographic decline, entitlement pressure, unsustainable debt, global fragmentation. This is macro history in motion. And if you’re not paying attention, it’s easy to be flattened by it.
That’s why I don’t waste energy obsessing over red vs. blue. It’s a distraction. I focus on my family. On protecting them. On understanding how this system works, not to change it, but to move within it strategically. You don’t need to be a PhD in economics to do this. There are brilliant minds on platforms like X laying out the playbook in real time. You just have to want to learn. You just have to care enough to ask, “How does this system really work? Who benefits from it? And how can I make sure I’m not left behind?”
We are moving into an age where wealth disparity will accelerate dramatically, not because the rich are scheming in back rooms, but because they understand the system. They understand debt cycles, central bank policy, velocity of money, demographic cliffs. And they position their capital accordingly. The middle class, meanwhile, is largely unarmed in this fight. Not because they’re lazy or incapable, but because they’ve been trained to look elsewhere. Politics. Culture wars. Short-term noise.
But here’s the hard truth: your dollar is decaying. Your labor is being devalued. And your future purchasing power is the real battleground.
So for me, it’s simple. Stay grounded. Study the system. Teach my kids what I was never taught. Think 10, 20 years out. Stack skills and assets that can’t be inflated away. And don’t waste time trying to win someone else’s ideological battle when the real war is happening in your wallet. Every family needs to become its own sovereign macro hedge fund, small, adaptive, and focused on surviving and thriving in an era where the rules are being rewritten.
The game is rigged, but only for those who don’t know how it’s played.
What if there was a 5-YR retirement strategy instead of 40, and it generates tax-free income forever?
Everything you've been taught about retirement is based on an Industrial-era system, a world that no longer exists…

Nothing can change that. Not even quantum computing.
That's the real key important message.
Bitcoin is the best asset in the world.
When you know the majority of people will never come together on something, you must use that knowledge for your betterment. 5 examples below:
1) when banks know that the majority of people will never withdraw all of their money at once, they will loan all of it out for their betterment.
2) when insurance companies know that the majority of people will never file a claim, they will raise prices forever for their betterment.
3) when the US treasury and federal reserve know that you will cope with inflation, they will create inflation forever for their betterment.
4) when the government knows that the majority will always pay taxes, they will spend as they please for their betterment.
5) when you know that 99% of the planet thinks bitcoin is a scam here at $96k, you should be trying to accumulate more for your betterment.
