If Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire makes you angry, wait until you hear about the organization that collected over $100 trillion from Americans, borrowed another $40 trillion, can’t pass an audit, and still acts like it’s broke.
One guy built rockets.
The other guys built debt.
Guess which one everyone is mad at.
Another huge win for @SeedSigner running* on a microcontroller: we can build touchscreen-native from the start!
Text entry is just SO MUCH BETTER on a touchscreen vs the joystick-based entry we currently have.

Back to basics.
Fiat money is fake and immoral.
Humanity is being cattle herded into a debt slavery system enhanced by AI-enabled dragnet surveillance.
Bitcoin fixes this.
If you don't get it, I don't have time to explain it to you. Figure it out.
🚨 Redbridge Council has received a £70 million taxpayer-funded government bailout.
That money comes through Emergency Financial Support from central government.
That means Redbridge’s finances are in such a bad state that taxpayers across the country are now helping keep the council afloat.
And that’s on top of the council already having around £500 million of debt.
Even worse?
The council is still forecasting a £91 million black hole in its medium-term financial plan.
Not only are Redbridge residents being forced to pay more in council tax…
…now taxpayers across the country are being forced to bail the council out as well.
We essentially have to print money to pay the interest on money that we’ve already printed
But sure… a decentralized, finite, censorship resistant network protocol that fully audits itself every 10 minutes is the scam here, folks 😂
Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.
The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.
Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.
The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.
After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.
Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
