by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

At todays strike! Jack Mallers, the CEO of Bitcoin wallet firm Strike, reportedly worked with the El Salvadorian government as an advisor on Bitcoin infrastructure. This entailed living in the fascist police state for three months to decide policy on solving “spillover” of monetary expansion and inflation of the dollar. This coprophage cop fellator is not disarming. He is deceiving Clearly he has much to hide. Now marked for death he can run all he wants. But he can't hide from APster. Not even in Val Verde. Hasta luego jackass. Its been real.

Unforseen blowback in operations
by pro2rat＠yahoo.com.au 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

The mole is buried deep. Alleging DAVE MOLNAR is satoshi is incredibly dangerous. Don’t do it without just cause. “One of the biggest challenges was developing the software for more than just cypherpunks and people very well versed in Bitcoin,” said CTO David Molnar. “It was difficult to get the developers and contributors to see the bigger picture, that we can only win the privacy war if we expand our vision to include all future Bitcoin users and not just the privacy advocates and cypherpunks ". Hal said he wasn't a libertarian. So if he used " Economic Liberty " it was against character - yes? Like texting while running. He never did that: did he? Now fuggedabout c-punks working towards privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful. That is so 2021! Try, " Give us your poor, your huddled billionaires yearning to rim Pete Thiel " https://cryptoslate.com/backlash-against-identifying-satoshi-nakamoto-grows… Pro-corporate Kochsuckers go fuck yourselves.
