Calling self-custody "crypto-anarchism" oversimplifies what #Bitcoin accomplishes. It's about freedom—freedom of speech, property rights, and protecting your right to own what's yours. We must not dismiss it because freedom isn't promised—it must be fought for and protected.

As I said at the end of the clip, I love @saylor. He's a friend. This is the only free market in the world being free. In any free market, especially something as revolutionary as Bitcoin, people are going to have different views. That's not just normal, it's necessary. It's all love from me. My goal is simply to defend the principles that I believe make #Bitcoin powerful: freedom and the ability for anyone to engage with it however they see fit.

Clip is from our new Mailbag Monday episode @moneymatterzpod:

Everyone offended by @saylor is taking his words too literally. He’s always been a bridge between the institutional world and the Bitcoin community, and doing an excellent job. His goal is to generate interest, not scare off institutions. That’s even why he once defended USD to avoid making enemies. He’s always going for a win-win.

Self-custody is at the heart of Bitcoin. We enable builders to build on Bitcoin and own both their keys and crypto. Come build on Bitfinity.

What matters is the option—the option to choose how you want your #bitcoin to be held. As you @jackmallers often reference, it is freedom, the free markets, that matters. I believe that bitcoiners need to be in peace accepting that not every person will self-custody, others can't self-custody, and others won't care not in a million years.

How many transactions per second can btc's version of Bitcoin do? 🤔 How much would the network fees be if I wanted to buy a sandwich? 🤔 How long would the transaction take to process? 🤔 How much energy used per transaction? 🤔 🤔 💭 🤔 💭 🤔 💭 🤔 💭 🤔 💭 Right!👌

Respect him but @saylor contradicts himself several times in the interview. When he promotes the fact that bitcoin reduces counterparty risk and being able to teleport it, he is making the anarchists’ point. He downplays US gov seizure risk and historical events, but at the end of the interview he brings up risk of governments seizing assets and says it’s happened in history.

Today we celebrate the birthday of our freedom - our own, cherished and protected. A day when we feel pride in living in a free Estonia, speaking our language, and making our own choices. Yet on this same date, we also remember a different morning. Four years ago, Ukraine awoke to war. It is a painful reminder that freedom does not endure on its own. It must be defended. It must be protected. Freedom means the ability to believe in the future and to live without fear. Today, Ukraine is fighting for that very right. Estonia knows from its own history what it means to lose freedom and what it means to restore it. That is why 24 February is not only a day of celebration. It is also a responsibility. To stand by our country. To stand by one another. To stand for freedom. Long live Estonia! 💙🖤🤍

Juneteenth should be a celebration of freedom and liberty, but it should also be a stark reminder that these rights were fought for, that we must act to protect them.

Every country has its own amount of freedom, which is higher for some and lower for others. Some inherited it. Others fight for it. But, regardless of the country, freedom is never free. It must be protected at all times. There must be an understanding of what empowers freedom. Freedom should also be backed up by guarantees. In today’s conversation with Dutch students, I emphasised that there should never be a time when a country loses its freedom. The same is true for every person. To be free, one must comprehend what gives him or her the strength to be free.

“When you suppress freedom of speech, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to have a real democracy. Freedom of speech is the foundation of democracy” Practice what you preach. You must respect equal rights and free speech. Lift the ban Elon Musk

Freedom is a gift that must never be taken for granted. As Americans, we are blessed with freedoms—speech, worship, assembly, and the right to vote. However, freedom isn’t free. It was bought with sacrifice, and it can be lost through apathy. Our founding fathers declared independence from tyranny in 1776, yet today we must ask: have we exchanged liberty for comfort, or traded truth for silence? Freedom must be defended—not just in the political arena, but in our personal and spiritual lives. If we don’t use our freedom to protect it, we will lose it. The prodigal son took his freedom and wrecked his life—not because freedom failed him, but because he failed to understand its purpose. True freedom is not the right to do as we please, but the responsibility to do as we ought. With every liberty comes responsibility and consequence. As Winston Churchill said, “Responsibility is the key to greatness.” We are not islands unto ourselves; what affects one affects all. Real freedom demands accountability, community, and a heart surrendered to God’s will. So today, don’t just celebrate freedom—steward it. True freedom begins in the heart. Discover how spiritual liberty leads to lasting joy in Being Happy In An Unhappy World. Available on Amazon:

Calling for death and murder does not fall under die ambit of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech does not imply that speech cannot have consequences. Calling for people to be cancelled because they say things you disagree with, but then claiming to be an advocate for free speech when you incite murder is two-faced dishonesty. Employers have a right to know if their employees encourage racial extermination and murder on social media. We desperately need freedom of speech. We also need certain rules to maintain it.

Self-custody must be protected. The United States was founded on the principle of private property, and the seizure of assets is something we must guard against. At the CFTC, that means protecting Americans’ ability to hold and control their own digital assets.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know. If you’re a veteran be proud, you have a badge of honor that not many have. Freedom was fought for, and you are part of it. Happy Veterans Day.
