Goal: help the left understand that Bitcoin is not a company and has no CEO.
Workers and everyday people *not* holding Bitcoin as a long term store of value or retirement strategy should be viewed as terrible advice.
Bitcoin is for workers

I heard this a lot from democrats last year. “That’s a Trump thing,” “that’s a win for Trump” about an xyz bitcoin initiative, civil liberty protection, etc.
I’m asking and encouraging the next Dem led Congress to consider policy and treatment on its merits, not its politics!

I think real bitcoin, cypherpunk, freedom tech advocates are gonna want a seat at the table as this new congress commences in January.
They’re going to move fast, aggressive, and want to send a lasting message.
A lot of good can still be done here that protects civil liberties
The far right and the far left typically offer over-simplistic takes on how to run the U.S. economy that is both beneficial for the country as well as all its citizens. Right now with the blue wave the far left is proposing over-simplistic economic solutions.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is the longest running experiment balancing democracy, rule of law, checks and balances, capital markets, capitalism, welfare, employment v inflation (Fed mandate), the constitution, etc.
Given all that, I’d say this experiment is still functioning remarkably well (particularly compared to the rest of the world). Extreme solutions could destroy this, whereas sometimes the unsexy work of incrementalism is needed. That’s why I typically reject populism in practice.
What’s behind my leadership and advocacy in the bitcoin space? Well, for starters
I have no ties to the Trump administration
I have no ties to the crypto industry
I’m just a dad who cares about his kids future that comes from a nonprofit worker/progressive background.

What my brain says when a progressive says ban RSI
Superintelligence Escape Velocity (SEV)
/noun/
The point at which recursive self-improvement becomes so powerful that intelligence growth escapes the gravitational pull of hardware constraints and political restrictions.
Beyond SEV, even data center moratoria can no longer materially slow or stop the intelligence explosion.
They may halt data center construction, but they'll never halt the Singularity.

Congratulations to Congressman-elect Dan Koh on your victory in MA-6!

To my bitcoiner friends, the saying rings true
You may not care about politics, but politics cares about you! 🇺🇸
