Last Notes npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva As @nprofile…37x2 explains in the post below, the #Revolut data breach is the result of weaponized compliance culture, which has led to what the Open Dialogue Foundation terms "transnational financial repression." In the clip below, Lyudmyla explains what transnational repression is and why it's so important that we push back on policies that enable it.

In my conversation with Robert, we discussed these topics as well as how Kenya has been primed for broader Bitcoin adoption thanks not only to the new law but to the foundation for Bitcoin that's been laid in the country by grassroots initiatives and companies like Gridless, @nprofile…sjtp, and @nprofile…kkyd (among many others). According to Robert, broader Bitcoin adoption in Kenya can lead to the country as a whole becoming more sovereign and less reliant on foreign loans. But for that to happen, a certain amount of coordination must happen between public and private institutions, which is something that Robert has been dedicating much of his time and energy to as of late. As Robert wrote in a piece he recently shared with me, Kenya is "at the threshold," and what comes next regarding Bitcoin adoption will play a major role in shaping the country's future. Luckily for Kenya, it has people like Robert advocating for Bitcoin and connecting the dots so that more and more of his countrypeople can benefit from it.

I’ve watched it a few times in the last few weeks. Absolutely mindblowing. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Same just happened with the wallet for this account. Not fun.

Has this happened to anyone else? #asknostr npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Keep up the great work! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Bitcoin tends to attract people who are either looking for a way out of a tough situation or looking to make said type of situation better. Kelvin Makini, founder of @nprofile…zvrd, is this type of person. As an alchemist of sorts, he's transforming waste into beautiful glassware and earning bitcoin in the process. And his indefatigable spirit makes me believe he's just getting started in his journey as both an entrepreneur and a community leader. It was an honor to help Kelvin tell his story on behalf of @nprofile…vsc4. #nevent1q…pcet npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fight-against-chat-control-in-the-eu-w/id1696184407?i=1000784847725 https://open.spotify.com/episode/6P9kDgW0OvUEW2HpTjCIDy npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Watch and listen via @nprofile…5gem: https://fountain.fm/episode/ng6J2mi2qILZqdzcbhml npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Last month, the European Parliament voted to adopt Chat Control 1.0, which allows the government to surveil certain types of digital communication. It did so in a underhanded manner, as the vote on the measure was scheduled just before summer recess and not all of the members of parliament (MPs) were present for it. The measure passed but was met with significant backlash from MPs as well as cybersecurity experts and human rights defenders who felt the way in which the vote was conducted was unethical. One of the human rights defenders who's been working diligently to stop Chat Control measures in the EU and who spoke out against the manner in which the Chat Control 1.0 vote was conducted was @nprofile…a2xp, presidents of the Open Dialogue Foundation. I recently caught up with Lyudmyla to discuss the details of what happened around the Chat Control 1.0 vote, what she is doing to stop the Chat Control 2.0 measure (the vote for which is scheduled for September), and why it's essential that we stop governments around the globe from implementing a digital ID system. We also discussed a report on transnational financial repression that she recently published via the Hoover Institute with Jorge Jraissati, dangerous AI data sharing practices, and why it's essential that the good guys/white hats have access to the same frontier AI models that ill-intentioned hackers do. Finally, Lyudmyla shares a number of ways you can help in the fight she's leading to help keep our digital data private. Enjoy the interview, and please consider giving Lyudmyla a hand. I've included resources in the show notes. https://blossom.primal.net/134e3c32548915589bc5e8bb6ce4a96e5f9dfc6586cec85df408aa6838af640b.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWnEarTDVnk npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Practice safe nsecs. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Whoa! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Yeah, from what I’ve read it will be tight. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva NY gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman tells @npub1key…lt3h crowd he’ll end the #BitLicense if elected governor and says New York will no longer be the financial capital of the world if it doesn’t embrace #Bitcoin and crypto.

Yes, Akhona is great. He truly hasn’t had an easy life and he’s giving it his all to turn things around. Could I ask a small favor? Would you mind leaving a rating and review of the podcast on Apple Podcasts if you don’t mind? I’m trying to get people to hear this episode in particular and it would greatly help. Thank you! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thank you, Tim! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Listen via your favorite podcasting platform: @nprofile…5gem: https://fountain.fm/episode/vbvT8iBsffxWSvx42OjW Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/south-africas-rocky-balboa-bitcoin-ekasi-community/id1696184407?i=1000782970014 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7mQvwASViqsENqKuPUhRtb npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Akhona Mabuto Livingstone, better known as @nprofile…5cx8 in Mossel Bay, South Africa 🇿🇦, has his sights set on competing in an Ironman World Championship race. The @nprofile…efkk community leader and instructor in the Surfer Kids project is looking to set an example for what someone who comes from a disadvantaged background can accomplish if they put their mind to it. But Akhona also knows that he can't do it alone. Thus far, the Bitcoin Ekasi and broader South African Bitcoin community has supported him, but it's time for the global #Bitcoin and #triathlon communities to get behind him, as well. So, in this interview, not only will you learn Akhona's story as well as the details of the efforts he's making to become a world-class athlete, but you'll also learn about the small but important things you can do to support him. Enjoy the interview, and please help be the wind at Akhona's back as he takes on this heroic endeavor! https://blossom.primal.net/7bf66f35156de5f4aed88421d65c80becd6b1a13be83e3656f4cf0588d2dc56c.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcReG_Mj4is npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Never heard that theory. Very interesting. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva lol I wasn’t quite saying that npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I crunched some numbers to get a sense of what a minimum wage income and the median family income in the U.S. would look like if they'd increased as much as the the price of gold has increased since the U.S. left the gold standard in 1971. The results were both quite sobering and highly indicative of why the U.S. is facing such staggering wealth inequality today. #naddr1qv…rxvl npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Subscribe to the Financial Freedom Report: https://hrf.org/program/financial-freedom/financial-freedom-reports/ npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Link to my newsletter: https://open.substack.com/pub/frankcorva/p/freedom-tech-in-southeast-asia-bitchat-india-bitcoin-thailand npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Many thanks to @nprofile…3l0a for sharing a link to my recent newsletter on Freedom Tech in Southeast Asia!

Quite a scary level of control. https://v.nostr.build/VElC0zCa3XdN9GMD.mov npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 🤝 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Where is this info from? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva When I started working on this multi-part piece on the Bitcoin Learning Center (BLC) in Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭, I hoped it might serve as a catalyst to snap people out of their bear market doldrums. And then the Coldcard incident happened before I published the final part of the series, and sentiment in this space hit some of the lowest lows I've ever seen (for good reason). While I know it's hard to see the light and to believe that things will get better right now, the work that BLC's team, led by Fai and @nprofile…qndq, is doing is a great reminder that many good things are happening around Bitcoin globally and that Bitcoin remains something worth fighting for. So, if you need a break from the doomscrolling and/or a dose of inspiration, look no further. Enjoy. #nevent1q…pec5 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Quite an interesting overview from Laser.

Super cool stuff is happening. #nevent1q…6ga6 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva It seems like the Indian government's recent attempt to shut down #Bitchat is part of a broader effort the government is making to hinder private messaging in the country. Earlier this month, the government issued notices to Telegram and Signal asking them to explain why the apps allow users to post messages without providing their phone numbers. The government also recently directed WhatsApp to freeze the rollout of a new username feature, citing that it could increase online fraud. #India 🇮🇳 #privacy #opensource https://www.reuters.com/world/india/india-issues-notice-telegram-signal-concerns-over-usernames-source-says-2026-07-03/ npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva ♥️ npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 🙏 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Jesus.

It was quite clear to me after speaking with them that they do the work they do in Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭 with open minds and open hearts and that they believe deeply in Bitcoin as a tool of empowerment, especially for vulnerable communities. In this first part of a three-part series for @nprofile…lydp, I tell the story of how Fai and Kostro’s respective work in the food delivery business played a role in their finding one another, which ultimately led to them cooking together.

It’s easier to focus and build. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I sat down with @nprofile…w2ua to discuss the impact Bitcoin might have on the world ten years from now for the 2036 issue of @nprofile…wvc3. In approaching the conversation, I was excited to hear Jeff's forecast for what a world transformed by Bitcoin over the course of the next decade might look like. What Jeff offered wasn't a prediction, though. Instead, he recommended that, if we want a world transformed by Bitcoin, we become active participants this new system NOW as opposed to passive bystanders waiting for the world to change. In other words, the degree to which Bitcoin succeeds by 2036 will be a consequence of the decisions that each of us makes in each passing moment, and the piece below offers some key insights regarding what to keep in mind while making those decisions. Enjoy! https://bitcoinmagazine.com/print/the-2036-issue-the-future-is-now-words-of-wisdom-from-jeff-booth npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Totally npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva No, sir, I cannot 😂 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva 🤝 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Noted. Thank you for the thoughtful response. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Sounds like you have your mind made up about me, my friend. All the best to you 🤝 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Not sure what that has to do with the Mechanic video and I’m not an employee of Bitcoin Magazine. Here and there, I contribute articles on important issues, like the Samourai case. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva On it 🫡 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thanks. I’ve had someone share that with me. I don’t agree with the framing at all and I find the argument disingenuous. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Even more interesting that the algo won a NIST competition. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Super interesting. Thank you for sharing! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thank you, Aaron. That helps. I figured it was something along those lines but was struggling to wrap my head around it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I get the sense that this is the case. The main thing I wanted to learn is what we’d be changing the PoW algorithm to, and I still haven’t gotten that answer either here or on X. I can’t imagine not knowing what such a proposed change would look like beforehand. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Totally. They want it to happen without having to bear the brunt of the blowback. Did you know that it’s one of Peter Thiel’s companies (Persona) that they’re contracting to do the KYC? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Seems that way to me, too. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva They’re just going to send you right to prison for transferring all that value without reporting it! npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I read the proposal for it in the post from Luke above. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Yes, agreed. I’m familiar with the dynamics as I’ve written about this. I, too, have hope for StratumV2 and DATUM. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Fair. I guess I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t fully understand his logic so I just accept he might do things that I don’t understand. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I agree that having just a few major pools is bad, but that can also change over time. And I think we’re in the process of that change with some of the bigger mining operations shifting their focus to AI. Plus, there are new pools like DEMAND coming online, which are promising. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Will go back to read it. I don’t agree that he didn’t write it or take part in writing it, though. No one knows who did for sure and it would be very surprising if he wasn’t a part of it. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva He’d have more power if BIP 110 activated, though, no? npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Thanks for explaining. npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva Noted. Thank you for sharing 🤝 npub14ad23x8g6yak4mm6nad9umm7grq0ckhf4s70svq4wn5fgjywf9es9vxvet frankcorva I think he has the power whether people like it or not. I’d just like to get a better idea of what’s going through both his mind and the mind of his and/or BIP 110 supporters. It’s a genuine inquiry.
