18 months ago, we began filming a mini-doc about @HRF's AI program Today it goes live We're still at the start of the journey, but the progress so far has been crazy From idea (AI should help freedom) to reality, where we are helping dissidents superscale their work Onwards!

Tesla buys Bitcoin. El Salvador adopts Bitcoin. Twitter adds Bitcoin. Central banks attack Bitcoin. 200M users, growing faster than the internet. And yet, most people in finance and economics are totally oblivious to what is happening. What a world! 🌎

Replying to @elonmusk and @XHNews
The economic growth is undeniable — but if you visit and don’t do tours of the prison camps in Xinjiang, the colonization of Tibet, the state-of-the-art AI-powered surveillance apparatus, or conquered Hong Kong, then you don’t get the full picture.

So many are just completely missing the historical importance of what is happening in El Salvador. The govt could have pushed a surveillance and control coin, a civil liberties-stripping CBDC, a China project... No! They went with Bitcoin. Freedom money. Just remarkable.

Historic moment. El Salvador on track to become the first country to accept Bitcoin as legal tender and to hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset. The future is wide open. @jackmallers is a legend.

Run a ponzi, steal billions, and then -- wait for it -- headline a NYT conference with the people who run Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and the global dollar system 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

Satoshi Nakamoto listed their birthday as April 5, 1975 If you are wondering what animated them to create Bitcoin: April 5 = FDR signed order 6102 making it illegal for Americans to own gold 1975 = Americans could legally own gold again It’s all about about financial freedom.

I agree with @Fidelity, of course, but still astonishing to read this on Bitcoin adoption game theory in such a mainstream financial report:

1/ My essay "Fighting Monetary Colonialism with Open Source Code" is live. France controls 15 African nations and 180M+ people through the CFA franc currency. The details are shocking. Can Bitcoin be a way out? @Farida_N 🇹🇬 + @diopfode 🇸🇳 think so 🧵

If you invested $10k into XRP on January 4, 2018, 7.5 years ago, you’d have… about $10k. Not even outpacing inflation. If you invested $10k in BTC on the same day, you’d have $75k Be careful out there…
