The very FIRST words of Satoshi's white paper: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer..." @NSmolenski delivers a simple yet profound talk on the importance of these 5 words at The Bitcoin Policy Summit in DC () 🔥

Thanks @Beiwatch1 for alerting me☝️

@NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg This is beyond brilliant and beautifully said @NSmolenski

@NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg Natalie Smolenski for President!

@NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg “Peer-to-peer is a human right.” 🧡

@NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg The next “Underground Railroad” indeed

thank you for this amazing talk. Great reminder that we the people give consent to be governed. Given the overreach from governments, I hope that you and me, and the people will take back their power. Peer-to-peer and freedom money (i.e. #Bitcoin) is so important on that quest.

@NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg Extremely well said! Unfortunately, too many people have been convinced through propaganda and greed that Bitcoin does anything to solve this. It doesn't. It's incapable. P2P can't exist with centralized and custodial layers. We have potential solutions, but Bitcoin isn't one.

@NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg So good

@NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg Thank you @NSmolenski for sharing this profound insight! I take this as a cue to rediscover my personal agency above any intermediary. We can trust ourselves to do right by each other.

@ErikVoorhees @NSmolenski @btcpolicyorg Wow - best speech I’ve heard in a while
