.@SenWarren, you do know bitcoin/digital assets has nothing to do with the Republican party right?

@bitcoinvector doesn't this contradict the letter sent out this morning?

JACK DORSEY'S NEW APP IS A PROTESTER'S SECRET WEAPON

Bitchat doesn’t need Wi-Fi, mobile data, or even a working government.

Messages bounce phone-to-phone using Bluetooth; no towers, no servers, no kill switch.

It’s ideal for places like Iran, where regimes love blackouts and protesters need a way to talk when the internet “suddenly disappears.”

No logins. No SIM cards. No surveillance.

The digital asset industry can’t wait any longer for regulatory clarity. This bipartisan Clarity Act provides the framework America needs to lead in financial innovation while protecting consumers. Both parties contributed to every section. Let’s get this done!

JACK DORSEY ACABOU DE CRIAR UM PROBLEMA PRA TODO DITADOR DO MUNDO

E o primeiro teste é em 7 dias.

Na Uganda. O país vai às urnas dia 15.

Museveni governa desde 1986. Em toda eleição, corta a internet. Literalmente toda vez.

→ 2016: blackout total
→ 2021: 4 dias offline durante a votação

Oposição não consegue coordenar, verificar votos, documentar nada

Aí veio o Bitchat.

400.000 ugandenses baixaram o app em uma semana.

1% da população.

O app usa Bluetooth mesh. Mensagens pulam de celular em celular. Sem internet. Sem servidor. Sem torre.

O regulador de telecom foi pra TV dizer que tem "a maior concentração de engenheiros de software do país" pra bloquear o app.

O desenvolvedor respondeu no X:
"Você não pode parar o Bitchat. Você não pode nos parar. Free and open source. Unstoppable."

Ele está tecnicamente correto.

Pra bloquear o Bitchat, o governo teria que desligar o Bluetooth de todo celular do país. Ou confiscar os aparelhos. Ou proibir ugandenses de ficarem a menos de 100 metros uns dos outros.

O regime ordenou Starlink suspender operações. Controle de satélite. Controle de fibra. Controle de torres.

Nenhum desses controla Bluetooth.

40 anos de investimento em censura.

Derrotado por ondas de rádio de curto alcance que existem desde 1994.

E o Bitchat ainda manda transações de Bitcoin offline.

Bobi Wine, líder da oposição, pediu pra população baixar antes do apagão. Dessa vez eles vão pro escuro armados.

15 de janeiro.

Se o Bitchat derrotar Museveni, todo ditador do mundo acorda com um problema novo.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down.

@SenateDems could learn something from that.

@BitQua Agree. Taylor rule says should be minimal cut. But why is this bullish vs more cuts?
