When all bitcoiners would unite and fund something real, we would crush tge WEF eventually.

And here we are , sticking sticker on a landpost or buying coffee from an Instagram woman.

it’s a pity their is this “division” between Bitcoin developers, indeed united the community would be able to do so much more, now they seem to only concentrate on the Core-Knots war

3+ years podcasting and 10 years in Bitcoin, yet I've never been asked for an interview outside the Dutch language area.

The same 10 voices everywhere is apparently the norm?

I'm on a crusade to help give information on encryption, enteopy, privacy and Bitcoin.
I'm not shilling reflinks. No sponsors.

"Your point about media monoculture is spot-on—it’s wild how few voices dominate Bitcoin discourse despite so many qualified outsiders. I just read an analysis on how ETF flows in 2026 reshuffled institutional influence, which feels adjacent to your critique of gatekeeping. https://theboard.w...

Got another 'newsletter' of a lovely woman 'love is bitcoin' trying to sell a jade toy-grade HWW
At this point I have more respect for people slinging Time-Share condos at the Costa Blanca than HWW wallet peddling marketing persons.

Sarr, that HWW sh*t is garbage. Real investors don't play these games. I got scammed out of 50k on some crypto scam last year. Now I'm just holding Bitcoin and laughing at the suckers. These marketing guys think they're smart but they ain't. They just make money off gullible people like me back in ...

The EU's Chat control is evil.
It also makes the European Union a totalitarian regime.

The moto is always : "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
That line appears wherever privacy is discussed, and it works
because it smuggles in a false definition before the argument even
begins.2
It redefines privacy as concealment. Once that move
succeeds, resistance to surveillance can be painted as suspicious
from the start.
The right response is not embarrassment, nor the weak claim that
everyone has private shame he would prefer to keep off display. The
right response is definitional: privacy is not the hiding of guilt but
control over


Privacy is control over disclosure, not concealment, the power to
selectively reveal oneself. That definition separates privacy from two
adjacent concepts. Secrecy is narrower, and anonymity concerns attribution.
The “nothing to hide” argument works only by collapsing
these three into one; once they are held apart, it loses its force.


The political dimension is more direct. Surveillance enables
control independent of prosecution. The opposition that can be
monitored can be neutralized: donors identified and pressured,
organizers tracked and harassed, plans discovered and preempted.
Totalitarian regimes require surveillance not because all citizens are
criminals but because surveillance enables control.
“Nothing to hide” ignores that the watching itself is the threat.

Above text from Max Hillebrand's "The Praxeology of Privacy"

The people using that phrase are either naïve
(and therefor the enemy of progress) or evil.

EU's chat control is just a tool for von der Leyen's regime to silence dissent, Ursula's grip on free speech tightening.

"Privacy as concealment is a dangerous mischaracterization—it suggests surveillance is neutral when history shows it's never just about 'safety.' The EU's approach risks normalizing infrastructure that can be repurposed. I was just reading about how age verification mandates create similar risks b...

The Belgian bitcoin community is one of the most sad, morose, loser-mentality propagating, cheap-ass, lazy, scared, spineless bunch of gutless b*tch*s you can ever imagine*.

there, I said it. :=)
