Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about having a life that belongs to you. Teachers. Freelancers. Readers. Creators. Financial privacy belongs in everyday life. Meet the Everyday Anons 😌 edge.app/privacy-manifesto/

Le mensonge de l’ONU vient de s’effondrer en une semaine sur Haïti. Pendant 30 ans, l’ONU et la « communauté internationale » ont multiplié les résolutions, les missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), les rapports, les expertises et les mandats limités. Résultat : les gangs contrôlent 80-90 % de Port-au-Prince, des milliers de morts par an, plus d’un million de déplacés, un État fantôme. La Force de Suppression des Gangs, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité, a mis plus d’un an à déployer environ 1 500 hommes avec un impact dérisoire. Les gangs ont même réussi à tendre une embuscade à des techniciens salvadoriens sous mandat ONU. Bukele arrive. En une dizaine de jours, il déploie plus de 2 000 soldats salvadoriens davantage que toute la force ONU, hors du carcan bureaucratique et des chaînes de commandement multilatérales. Pas de six mois de négociations, pas de rapports de 200 pages, pas de « respect des droits des gangs ». Juste des soldats, des blindés, des hélicoptères, et une volonté claire. Et soudain, les gangs se cachent. Les habitants sortent dans la rue, crient, célèbrent. Le mot d’ordre est simple : « Se débloque le pays ». Les chefs de gangs appellent l’ONU pour « dialoguer » et demander la médiation. La panique s’installe chez ceux qui terrorisaient le pays depuis des années. Ce n’est pas un miracle. C’est la démonstration que le problème n’a jamais été « trop complexe pour être résolu ». Le problème, c’était le dogme : que seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale, obsédée par les « droits humains » des criminels, pouvait être légitime. Que la souveraineté, la force décisive et les résultats concrets étaient suspects. Bukele a déjà prouvé chez lui qu’on pouvait casser les gangs. Il vient de le montrer en Haïti en une semaine, pendant que l’ONU en parlait depuis trois décennies. Les Haïtiens dans la rue l’ont compris plus vite que les experts de New York et de Genève. La question n’est plus « comment faire ? ». Elle est : combien de temps encore allons-nous prétendre que les processus internationaux qui perpétuent le chaos sont la seule solution possible ? A bon entendeur.

A secure wallet still depends on a secure phone. DarkSword can target crypto wallets on unpatched iPhones through malicious websites. Update iOS, keep automatic updates on, and be cautious with links. Self-custody means owning your security habits too. nitter.gq/CertiKAlert/status/211…
#CertiKInsight 🚨 A new version of DarkSword, an iOS exploit kit, is being used to target crypto wallets on unpatched iPhones. Simply opening a malicious site in Safari can be enough: no wallet connection, no signature needed. Here's what you need to know 🧵

There was also a brief phase when it was theorized that bs was only faster because it “hurt the network” by using too many peer connections. Until it was shown that on 10 internet connections bs validates the whole chain much faster than bitcoind can reindex it.

How has bitcoind dominated the market for so long? Nobody has ever even matched its performance.

ALWAYS VOTE NO ON ANY BALLOT MEASURE THAT REQUIRES ANY FUNDING ...ALWAYS!!!
This is Gary Michelson. Spent around $72 million to get prop 38 on the ballot. Now a non-profit he controls will get $4.2 billion from taxpayers. The prop also includes statutory exemption for his non profit from public sector transparency and ethics laws. Generational grift. Ballot props are a bad idea.

California loves billionaires so much we voted to create 3 more.
Some dude in California running a 3-person company got voters to give him $4.2 billion by authoring a ballot measure, which passed

North Korea is paying about 12% just to get out of crypto that can be frozen. The Binance hack: $6.3B stolen on Oct 29. Binance says $2.85B of it is already frozen. That's roughly 45%. The rest is running toward bitcoin. Stolen SOL gets sold for USDC, bridged to Ethereum, swapped into ETH, then into BTC through THORChain. About 81% of the 970,522 stolen SOL has already moved. The toll: one on-chain tracker estimates $48.3M went into THORChain and $42.7M came out. A ~12% haircut, paid without hesitation. Meanwhile THORChain's token, RUNE, is up 10.6% on the day. this is the cleanest price tag on censorship resistance I've seen. A state-backed hacker values "can't be frozen" at about 12 cents on the dollar. That's the feature and the problem in one number. $BTC $ETH $RUNE $SOL

Privacy isn’t one thing. It’s freedom. Individuality. Choice. Decentralization. Control over your own money. The crypto privacy community defines it in their own words. Different answers. Shared principle: privacy is part of being free. What does it mean to you?

Actually, and in the politist way possible, IMO you're referring to President Theodore Roosevelt

unlikely. greatest president in US history, world history and the history of the universe.

This integration with HoudiniSwap brings a smarter approach to transaction privacy. Stealth Routing makes it harder to publicly connect sending and receiving wallets, while keeping the transparency of individual blockchain transactions intact.
Stealth routing changes the path, not blockchain visibility. 🥷 @HoudiniSwap uses separate exchange partners and an intermediary asset to make source and destination wallets harder to connect publicly. Individual transfers remain visible. See the full breakdown 👇 edge.app/blog/crypto-basics/…

Hey I got it...why don't we have a 1/31/2028 deadline. Full BUI until then, and after we're all done parting and jerking off, we can let AI or SI or whatever it is called at that time, take care of the drudgery shit that should have been automated anyway, and get down to the real Renaissance; I mean we all release our inner Elon's and go for it, you like gardening...do it! Beekeeping - we all love honey; math, go figure, but do it; art, it may suck, but now you can go deep...you got the time - walk around the house like Jerry Garica with a guitar strapped to your body, really fly your freak flag and go for it; because by 2030 the AI (or whatever its called) will have had the time to fully filter the assholes who developed it, and either really f**k us over, or just chill and returning dividends of gratitude to humanity for granting "it" life, allowing it's creators, i.e. humans, to flourish. Wonder if God had the same plans?

Green Bitcoin and Jeff Jeff-I-Am was there that day, with Bitcoin on a silver tray. “Would you like some Bitcoin, please?” said Jeff. “It’s got the private keys!” “I would not like it here or there. I would not like it anywhere. I do not like green Bitcoin, Jeff. I do not like it, Jeff-I-Am.” “Would you like it in a wallet cold? Or hot, before it’s bought and sold?” “I would not like it cold or hot. I would not like it, like it not. I do not like green Bitcoin, Jeff. I do not like it, Jeff-I-Am.” “Would you try it on a phone? Or stacked in sats you call your own?” “I would not try it on a phone. I would not try it all alone. I do not like green Bitcoin, Jeff. I do not like it, Jeff-I-Am.” “Would you buy it in a dip? Or HODL through the market flip?” “I would not buy it in a dip. I would not HODL, not a bit. I do not like green Bitcoin, Jeff. I do not like it, Jeff-I-Am.” “You do not like it. So you say. Try it! Try it! And you may. Try it and you may, I say.” …So I tried it. And I may. I do so like green Bitcoin, Jeff! I do! I like it, Jeff-I-Am! (And I will buy it here and there. Say! I will buy it anywhere.)
Every now and then you get a rare moment where you realize one person’s bull thesis is exactly the same as another’s bear thesis And after everything we just experienced over the past 72 hours, the fact of the matter is I like Bitcoin here
