The power of Bitcoin is underestimated, although in order to control it you must take certain things into account.
Right now the government can seize you:
- Your homes
- Your land
- Your cars
- Your stocks/investments
- Your business
As a general rule the government can seize anything where it issues a title deed which is nothing more than a right-to-use title.
As you can see there is no private property for these assets.
And this is where Bitcoin comes in, Bitcoin is authentic private property, surpassing the level of gold, jewelry, precious stones or works of art. Because it surpasses them? because it is easier to defend, remember that private property exists as long as there is the real possibility of defending it, that is, the level of private property of a given good is directly proportional to the ability to defend it by the owner against attacks from third parties.
A house is impossible to defend against the state, you need an army to prevent its seizure. A jewel, gold and a work of art is easier to defend, you just need to hide it well. Bitcoin is tremendously easy to defend, in the extreme case, it is hidden in your mind.
However, the state can use confiscable assets such as houses, land, vehicles, businesses, etc. to coerce you into handing over your Bitcoins. Keep this in mind when planning your life in the face of a possible government attack.
In other words, shy away from government-issued assets, they take away your freedom and make you dependent and detract from the power of Bitcoin.

This song is called „Doce de Côco“ (which is a type of coconut candy in Brazil) and was written by the great Jacob do Bandolim. I connected with the genre Choro a few years ago, the melodies seemed so intuitive, like songs from my childhood. But now I need to dig deeper to understand the way they phrase and accent in this music. 💜

My interpretation of USDT over lighthing news, correct me if I’m wrong in my logic:
Pros:
- Cheaper fees for USDT transfers. People who rely on USDT benefit.
- More value brought onto the lightning network
- Ultimately more value and liquidity ochain as it’s easier to move on the same blockchain over different ones
- LESS value for the other shitcoin chains. Now that they dont’ facilitate USDT, what’s the point of them?
- Better privacy over wide open chains.
- Off-chain - no need to wait at all if there were any wait times to begin with (I don’t know because I don’t use it).
Cons:
- Has USDT verified reserves? If not, this is a liability
- Potential for increased regulatory scrutiny and targetting
- More attention to lightning network enabled privacy if there is any
Net: probably a good thing - saying it cautiously.
Curious what you think?

Set up a new Keycast + Strfry + Caddy reverse proxy this morning for a team. It took me about 10 minutes (which includes waiting around for docker to build apps on an underpowered VM).
Now that I have my head around Docker, I'm really loving this setup. Next, I'm going to add Blossom to the stack and then spend some time refining it all so that it's a single repo (with git submodules) that you can clone and build to fully build and run a server on any VM with a single command.
