Stay private. Stay safe. Don't give up your personal data to companies or to governments who will leak it at the first chance they get. Read on for some hints and tips 👇
They are literally watching you. Wherever you go, whatever you buy, whatever you do online. The vast majority of us are law-abiding citizens, who want no more than to be left alone. Why should we allow this relentless surveillance to continue unabated, and to permit governments

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe

The Fourth Turning observes that every 80–100 years, societies face a great crisis: the collapse of the old order and the birth of something new. In these periods, violence often erupts—assassinations, repression, upheaval. Yet history shows that violence does not kill ideas. It

A recent article in @theragetech, "US Government to Bring Patriot Act to Digital Assets" suggests that the Treasury is in the process of banning privacy tools. There are important issues raised here but I want to offer some nuance and color about what exactly is happening and

This would be a terrible move @DavidSacks and @SecScottBessent. Financial privacy isn't a crime and 99% of people using these tools are law abiding citizens who simply don't want others to know how much bitcoin they own and where it is. This puts Americans in harm's way.
US regulators are signaling that common #Bitcoin practices, like self-custody, swaps, and privacy tools, could be labeled “suspicious.”

On this solemn day, September 11th, I can't help but reflect on where I was 24 years ago. I was in New York City, working a corporate job, dressed in my business clothes, when the world changed forever. As the chaos unfolded downtown at the World Trade Center, I made my way to

This is the end game… Where they use to be able to silence us, and shut down cell towers, and the ability to organize, they no longer can. The tech is too powerful now and a new chapter begins where people really get to see what happens when they cannot be silenced.
Last week, we observed a sudden spike in bitchat downloads from Indonesia during nationwide protests. Today we're seeing an even bigger spike from Nepal during youth protests over government corruption and a social media ban. Freedom tech is for the people. Please share.

@RickyHale_ The silhouettes remain: shadow against stone, power pressing down on protest. A ghostly struggle etched into the wall - stripped of detail, yet heavier with meaning. The original was satire. The erasure is prophecy. It tells us: protest can be scrubbed from the wall, but not
