After a couple months of using it, I've got to say—I'm glad @SubstackInc exists. It's hard to find a more thoughtful collection of writers and readers right now, and harder still to find a platform committed to freedom of speech. Halcyon days. — PolitiTweet.org

"Although virtual currencies are occasionally used for illicit transactions, the volume is small compared to the volume of illicit activity through traditional financial services." You'll never believe who said it. https://t.co/720SYvqzZM — PolitiTweet.org

Most of your money exists not as something folded in your wallet, but as an entry in a bank’s database, faithfully requested and rendered beneath the glass of your phone. If someone else gets to decide *if* and *how* you can spend it, is it really yours? https://t.co/720SYvqzZM — PolitiTweet.org

@foardeetou It would drive the price of crypto up, and the price of fiat down, far too quickly to buy "the whole lot." You'd see million-dollar bitcoins in a week. — PolitiTweet.org

A CBDC is a perversion of cryptocurrency, or at least the founding principles and protocols of it—a cryptofascist currency, expressly designed to deny you the basic ownership of your money by installing the State at the center of every transaction. https://t.co/720SYvqzZM — PolitiTweet.org

Beginning with an increase in paper notes, continuing with the cancellation of the right to exchange them for the more precious coin, and culminating in the debasement of the coin itself, the State finally achieved “sovereign currency:” a handsome napkin. https://t.co/720SYvIaRk — PolitiTweet.org

@Melt_Dem This could be a chance to create the Performatively Misunderstand Bitcoin Challenge. Ask them what shape the blocks are. Oh, you're a Bitcoin fan? Name each of the Byzantine Generals. See how long it takes for them to cotton on. — PolitiTweet.org

@ashleygjovik It doesn't take away from the true point that she will face unfair attacks, but the same *was* in fact said of me. Ellsberg, Manning, and Drake, too, along with almost certainly the others. It's just what they do. Here's a (brief) contemporary example: https://t.co/BQO3mEBy4g — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2004, Facebook has never cared about the law or "social equities." Don't fall for it. Zuckerberg suggests Congressional action now only because he is confident the result will serve him—modestly burdening the affluent Facebook, but totally crushing its upstart competitors. — PolitiTweet.org
