"...and it seems they threw out people with „Free Samourai“ signs" Say what? They didn´t...?! https://blossom.primal.net/0fbc851ffa9d2e4739ec6c3f3a0e5a2f1e3f5a1435b606d5defe32cef2f9d68c.gif

I can't afford to travel and anticipate anyway. Better to support local meetups.

Not just "people" with the signs. One of the guys' wives. They threw out the Samurai guy's WIFE for holding the "Free Samurai" sign.

This looks like winning to me. They are trying to coopt it, but Bitcoin will survive as long as people understand the stakes and the importance of running your own node and only accepting self-custodial Bitcoin (not covenant locked to a government whitelist) that is on the chain you signed up for.

Well can't be upsetting the FBI now...

Completely agree with you. I am boycotting the stream 😂

Commendable

The culture is rotted

Yup 🙌 "this is not the bitcoin I advocate for". Exactly what I meant (even in a broader context) in this article https://i.nostr.build/stA2UqCsTFKniZe7.jpg https://i.nostr.build/p5FO6axHcUm7W536.jpg https://i.nostr.build/x8Pr1lATx5iGIvV1.jpg nostr:nevent1qqs896n40lrgpgraqs8urumvcpmmude3pgty2eq...

Fuck it. Skin up.

Boycott Big Bitcoin. I’m with it. Never thought I’d have to say it. https://blossom.primal.net/fb4bd734160a93a8c8245894faea84038e1d44eeb7967ba827ed285fdd59d39f.gif

Disappointing

Nostr is way better 🔥🚀🇮🇹

They also have Afroman, which is pretty cool.

Jail Samourai! Buy Saylorcoin!

I can confirm this occurred. I was behind them when Senator Lummis was speaking. They were asked to leave. I would’ve definitely held one of the signs. I’m wearing this button around everywhere. https://blossom.primal.net/cd4e3cddeef640cb9e88ddcc6ab2b686f0c05d8246103941062456e2896090d0.jpg

Free Samourai sounds good, it is a sign that the government don't want to do that (or don't want to hear). When they experience real pressure (not agression), only than they will make time..

Chill out. at least we have the platform & opportunity to engage with governments to shape the world based on bitcoin values. You are canceling your own voice by not participating

The bitcoin conference has changed. It is less about a freedom movement and new ideas / debate. It is more about 30 minute commercials from big company executives talking their own books. David Bailey, BTW, is not impressive and is cringy when he talks. I fear the conference decline reflects his ...
