Hard to believe the lowball figures DOD is reporting here when independent analysts are hearing 800(!) passengers successfully crammed on a single aircraft. Let's hope they outperform:

@WClementeIII Speaking as someone who has dealt with more than a little criticism, you should rarely stop speaking for fear of the crowd -- *especially* on Twitter, where replies are considered engagement and boost your visibility.
Let them talk: it only helps spread your message. Cheers.

@RepMTG Speaking up in defense of Julian Assange is a brave thing in Congress, and I do hope you'll continue. Given recent administrations' own cavalier handling of classified, it's past time for gov to correct its error in persecuting Assange for publishing stories of public importance.

Hør, det her bør være en skrigende rød alarm for alle om, at noget er helt galt... *Pressen* er efterretningstjenesten for et frit samfund.

The idea that some overly ambitious staffer thinks they can put Americans' elected representives in phone jail over a glorified *budget meeting* is more than a little offensive.
Just say no. Political bickering is unclassified—they're not going to slap handcuffs on you. twitter.com/pkcapitol/stat…

but i hope you can still afford to go to the library and read the book i wrote that answers precisely your question

4) Privacy coins are great, but they're too small and too easy to smother via regulatory actions like de-listing from exchanges. Only Bitcoin has immunity-via-dominance to delisting. It adopting privacy-by-design instantly normalizes financial privacy. Ultima Ratio Cryptum.

Four hours to go and our charity auction to benefit @FreedomofPress is nearing $500,000. Amir (@mondoir) reclaimed the top bid against a very generous offer by CEO/@krakenfx, @jespow. We're simply overwhelmed with gratitude -- the raised funds will do a lot of good. twitter.com/mondoir/status…

what explains the continuing decline in approval for a certain cadre of party elites? there are no easy answ——oh wait twitter.com/igorbobic/stat…

The auction just went live and will continue for just 24 hours. On behalf of @FreedomofPress, I want to thank all of you for your astounding generosity -- we already see multiple bids! LINK: foundation.app/Snowden/stay-f… twitter.com/Snowden/status…

@TheDjOblivion People can buy any garbage they want and I'm okay with it. The problem is when they get emotionally manipulated into mortgaging the farm based on a meme's worth of understanding.
If you want to drop some Happy Meals on lottery tickets, knock yourself out. But not the rent money.

@giacomozucco Zcash is the opposite: a decentralized, functional chain with a specific (and useful) purpose: enabling private transactions, something it does extremely well, even now (years later). I actually used it back then, and it worked.

3) Bitcoin's disastrous privacy is the "missing stair" of cryptocurrency. Every expert understands it's a problem, but—as experts—they themselves know how to compensate for the risk in their own personal interactions with Bitcoin, and therefore feel no urgency to actually fix it.

Today I learned that if you're a sports reporter, you probably shouldn't heckle @johncusack at a game, because he's apparently a walking encyclopedia of baseball history and it will end in a video of you getting wheeled out on a stretcher. twitter.com/chron/status/1…

"...you can all but smell the fear on the streets. Even in zip codes where violent crime was once unheard of, residents are starting to sweat."
Crime, censorship, cold war politics... really beginning to feel like a decade of moral panics is on the menu.

Distribution isn't the core public need: people will clearly buy bitcoin at nearly any price. *Disintermediation* is the demand.
Rinse out the middlemen (corporate and state), enabling them to transact with anyone, anywhere, for anything.
Don't insert yourself as another one.
