⭐ You can’t think without language! ~ KE CEO
⭐ The book 1984 is a chilling example of how if you control language, you control thought. That’s why many people don’t view language policing as “just a little thing.” E.g., pressuring employees to say “folks” instead of “guys” may look minor but it represents a coercive shift.
⭐Jeremy Sturdivant
On #Bitcoin Pizza Day 5/21/13, Làszlò Hanyecz is credited with performing Bitcoin’s first real-world transaction, offering 10,000 BTC to whomever would order him 2 pizzas.
But perhaps the true hero is Jeremy Sturdivant, who chose Bitcoin over pizza or $ by accepting Hanyecz’s offer. He didn’t hodl for long though and squandered it all on travel expenses.
Today those #Bitcoin are worth around US$270 Million
So, while Bitcoin Pizza Day may be a celebration of the first time it was spent, it’s a sober reminder of the value of hodling, because we’re all still early.
⭐2013 “Bitcoin may be the TCP/IP of Money” ~ Gmail Creator Paul Buchheit @paultoo
He also suggested Google’s former company motto Don’t be evil in a 2000 meeting on company values, after the motto was initially coined in 1999 by engineer Amit Patel.

⭐4/28/23 Between assets seized from the Bitfinex hack and Silk Road, the US govt currently holds 205,500 BTC worth $6 billion
This makes them one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world at the moment. USD is secured by kinetic power. #Bitcoin is secured by electric power. They’re the same system, except #Bitcoin security is way more physically powerful, way more efficient, and way less lethal (which we perceive as “peaceful”). If btc is 10% of your wealth then holding doesn’t matter your age – your savings – what you earn. Stack sats, separate money from state, end war, make the world a better place.

⭐‘American Dollar’s Time Is Coming to an End,’ Says Rogers
Veteran investor Jim Rogers, who co-founded the Quantum Fund with billionaire investor George Soros, says the U.S. dollar’s time is coming to an end as more countries are seeking alternatives to the USD. “Many friends of America are moving, trying to find something to compete with and ultimately replace the U.S. dollar. It will happen. It has always happened,” he warned.

⭐Hidden $500K Bitcoin Stash Unearthed in Divorce Proceedings
According to an NBC News poll cited in the CNBC report, cryptocurrency investment and usage are rising, with a fifth of Americans engaged in crypto transactions. Men between 18 to 49 years are the main demographic involved. Another challenge is the rise of privacy tokens – cryptocurrencies specifically designed for anonymous transactions. Coins like Monero, Dash, and Zcash operate on unique blockchains, effectively masking transaction details, including sender and recipient identities and transaction amounts. Tracking and de-anonymizing transactions in these cryptocurrencies, such as Monero, is “virtually impossible,” Himonidis told CNBC.In one instance, Himonidis managed to unearth around $700,000 worth of Monero on a MacBook discovered during the legal proceedings. The cryptocurrency was stored in a command line wallet, a software wallet not easily accessible via conventional means on a Mac. This required specialized technical skills to access.
⭐Supreme Court Rules That IRS Can Request Bank Account Info Without Notice To Third Parties The IRS does not need to notify third parties when requesting a summons for banking records in collection matters. That was the decision of the Supreme Court in Polselli v. Internal Revenue Service. The IRS did not notify Polselli’s wife or his lawyers about the summonses that were issued to the banks, relying on the exception in section 7609(c)(2)(D)(i) of the Tax Code, which excludes from the notice requirement summonses issued “in aid of the collection” of tax assessments. You can read more about the case—and the oral arguments—here.
⭐STOPPING THE BACKDOOR ATTACK
In 2010, even after Twitter and Facebook helped catalyze the Arab Spring, people still would have thought it implausible if you’d said “in ten years, the most important political issue in the world for a few days will be whether the President of the United States could tweet.”
Apple and Google are systemic risks to crypto.
If weaponized by the federal government, they could backdoor iPhone and Android to exfiltrate private keys.
Facebook to be fined £648m for mishandling user information
Meta, owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp
Facebook is to be fined more than €746m (£648m) and ordered to suspend data transfers to the US as an Irish regulator prepares to punish the social media network for its handling of user information.
Meta was fined €265m (£230m) by the watchdog after a breach that resulted in the details of more than 500 million users being published online. That came weeks after a €405m fine for letting teenagers set up Instagram accounts that publicly displayed their phone numbers and email addresses. Submit Claim – Facebook User Privacy Settlement
