Interesting to run into this on MLK Jr Day. In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, Dr King reminds us that not all laws are just laws, and that we needn’t obey unjust laws. Can you imagine unjust laws that the current administration might pass? Do you want a money that allows people to break them?

You certainly don’t lack confidence in your opinions!

If by “drank the kool-aid” you mean that I did years of study and reading and then wrote a peer-reviewed academic book with 600 references, then yes I did! But it seems like you’ve made up your mind.

You can ignore the women in patriarchal societies and the democracy protesters against authoritarians and the Nigerian Feminist Collective and the North Korean defectors and the anti-Putin protesters and the Ukrainians and the human rights activists if you want, I guess!

I can’t reproduce all of chapter 6 — Privacy in Public — for you here but I’m happy to send it to you!

Well, you might be comfortable with the incoming administration knowing all the details of your financial transactions, but not everyone is in that position. Bitcoin is private, censorship-resistant inclusive digital cash. If you can’t see why that’s useful for marginalized communities you’re lucky.

Imagine that, someone decides that the experts are those they agree with and the trolls are those they disagree with.

You’re still following the fake!

@kmdoublev.bsky.social , @tsenor.bsky.social , @huwprice.bsky.social , @neilsinhababu.bsky.social , @wiglet1981.bsky.social : fyi, you’re following the impersonator.

I thought it was Weir’s best. I was really really impressed.
