When Corrupt Politicians Start Going To Jail,
Then We Can Start Trusting The Government Again.

ECP NetHappenings Happy 2026
Tech Defeats Dictators

Translated from Portuguese

JACK DORSEY JUST CREATED A PROBLEM FOR EVERY DICTATOR IN THE WORLD

And the first test is in 7 days.

In Uganda. The country goes to the polls on the 15th.

Museveni has been in power since 1986. In every election, he cuts the internet. Literally every time.

→ 2016: total blackout
→ 2021: 4 days offline during voting

The opposition can’t coordinate, verify votes, document anything

Then came Bitchat.

400,000 Ugandans downloaded the app in one week.

1% of the population.

The app uses Bluetooth mesh. Messages hop from phone to phone. No internet. No server. No tower.

The telecom regulator went on TV to say they have “the highest concentration of software engineers in the country” to block the app.

The developer responded on X:
“You can’t stop Bitchat. You can’t stop us. Free and open source. Unstoppable.”

He’s technically correct.

To block Bitchat, the government would have to turn off Bluetooth on every phone in the country. Or confiscate the devices. Or prohibit Ugandans from being within 100 meters of each other.

The regime ordered Starlink to suspend operations. Satellite control. Fiber control. Tower control.

None of that controls Bluetooth.

40 years of investment in censorship.

Defeated by short-range radio waves that have existed since 1994.

And Bitchat still sends offline Bitcoin transactions.

Bobi Wine, opposition leader, asked the population to download it before the blackout. This time they’ll go into the dark armed.

January 15.

If Bitchat defeats Museveni, every dictator in the world wakes up with a new problem.

HAPPY 2026!!!!

BTC

The inventor of Bitcoin once posted, “I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper.”

I appreciate your questions.
I actually did this kind of backwards.
I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper.
I think I will be able to release the code sooner than I could write a detailed spec. You’re already right about most of your assumptions where you filled in the blanks.
Satoshi Nakamoto

Bitcoin started with a whitepaper Satoshi sent to the Cypherpunk mailing list in 2008. 2009, Satoshi released the code for Bitcoin. In the code Satoshi put the words “Chancellor on brink of second bail out for banks.” It is from this humble beginnings that Bitcoin started fighting the system. As we reach $100k a coin I want us to reminisce the good old days in 2013 when Bitcoin’s price was $100. In 2013 some OG’s realized that what Satoshi had released into the world was a weapon that every person could use to defend their economic freedom from central banks and governments. This weapon was unstoppable and fearless just like the honey badger, which is why they called Bitcoin the honey badger of money and boy were they right, from a mailing list to being an issue in a presidential election, to nations discussing Strategic Bitcoin Reserves. Lets take a look at some of the OGs tweets from 2013.

Today’s #OptOutOctober tip: Tweak your privacy settings so you’re not inadvertently sharing your most personal data with the entire world

I thought houses with sex offenders can’t hand out candy on Halloween?

Gavin Newsom: “I really am scared to death about what’s going on in this country. I really believe it is Code Red. It’s five-alarm fire. It’s breaking every hour of every day. We won’t have a country. We won’t have an election that’s fair and free if we don’t stand up”

 

Kerry Kennedy, sister of RFK Jr. and daughter of Robert Kennedy, on her brother:
“I am disgusted by my brother’s obscene embrace of Donald Trump. And I completely disavow and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. and his flagrant efforts to desecrate my father’s memory.”

‘How it happened in Cuba’: Pop superstar Gloria Estefan now carries her passport ‘just in case’

@Suzierizzo1
Well if you go to Project 2025 and look at page 299 it’s obvious why Trump is messing with SNAP it’s because he’s been planning on getting rid of it for good and this is his chance so don’t expect to get it back after November and Social Security is next! Wake the F up MAGA!

Republicans want to starve children to pressure Democrats into gutting healthcare. How do we know? Mike Johnson just admitted it.

Sen. Schumer: What’s Trump doing? He’s busy building his ballroom, dancing in Malaysia, sending $40 billion to Argentina, $170 million in luxury jets for Kristi Noem. They have money for that and not for healthcare. It’s a disgrace.

@donwinslow
Reality check:
Trump is wildly out control
Economy is crashing.
ICE is Trump’s private army w/unlimited budget.
They are practicing controlling cities.
They are conditioning Americans to accept military control.
They have plans to use emergency powers to stop/control mid-terms.

I’ve lived through 2 Hurricanes Fredrick and David, back to back, in 1979.
My Friends lived through the worst one ever Hurricane Hugo a powerful tropical cyclone that inflicted widespread destruction across the northeastern Caribbean and the Southeastern United States in September 1989.  Melissa is the same.

IT IS TOTAL DEVASTATION

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

NO PHONE,  electricity,  Water,  Sanitation, No Police, Nothing that uses electricity. NO ROOFS, NO SUPPLIES, EVERYONE needs generators.

STORES ARE EMPTY

THE ONLY WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS WITH HAM RADIOS AND HAM RADIO OPERATORS WHO CAN GET MESSAGES TO PEOPLE OFF ISLAND OR ON THE ISLAND.
