This exodus follows a significant change in banking oversight, as the central bank doubled the number of suspicious activity indicators, the digital signals that automatically trigger account freezes. Allegedly aimed at preventing fraud, these new criteria temporarily blocked as many as three million bank accounts and cards in early January. To tighten its grip, the Interior Ministry proposed capping cash withdrawals at 50,000 rubles ($615) for flagged accounts, while a $10,000 lifetime limit on foreign currency withdrawals was recently extended through Sept. 9. All these regulations reinforce the digital limitations on Russian savers, making physical cash one of their few remaining protections against state overreach. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>StartOS v0.4.0-beta Major Rewrite & UI Overhaul Releasedhttps://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases</p> <p>Frigate v1.4.0https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsrg3xsjwpt4d9g05rqy4vkzx5ysdffm40qtxntfr47y3annnfwpzg7geerr</p> <p>WISP Livestream Supporthttps://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsqqqxdn3cerszwcq4rz3aaxz8l3qld048l6fd7a6jq0kkhktnv2sc6j0qkr</p> <p>Cypher Box 0.0.8: Progressive Self-Custody Bitcoin Wallet on TestFlighthttps://x.com/cypher_box/status/2038301929395179759</p> <p>3:33 - Mario </p> <p>5:28 - TBPN OpenAI </p> <p>14:43 - Dashboard </p> <p>15:53 - Hot Style Takeover </p> <p>18:13 - Hormuz </p> <p>27:38 - Oracle layoffs </p> <p>34:33 - SHRIMPS </p> <p>54:33 - BitDevs Austin hiatus </p> <p>59:13 - Zaps </p> <p>1:05:13 - HRF Story of the Week </p> <p>1:09:33 - Boosts </p> <p>1:14:48 - Software updates </p> <p>1:29:33 - How are the vibes?</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite </p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Strike </p> <p><a href="https://strike.me/">https://strike.me/</a></p> <p>Stakwork </p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Salt of the Earth </p> <p><a href="https://drinksote.com/rhr">https://drinksote.com/rhr</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr </p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter </p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast </p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr </p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter </p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast </p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/">https://citadeldispatch.com/</a></p>

Bangladesh has limited the supply of fuel and closed universities to save electricity. Pakistan shut schools and shifted services online, while the Philippines adopted a four-day workweek for some government offices. Vietnam and Thailand are promoting remote work, and South Korea has set a fuel price cap for the first time in nearly three decades. As we saw after the outbreak of COVID, authoritarian regimes often exploit macroeconomic crises to expand and cement their control. <a href="https://FinancialFreedomReport.org">https://FinancialFreedomReport.org</a> </p> <p>Index: Paid API Directory for AI Agentshttps://<a href="http://402index.io/">402index.io/</a> </p> <p>Boltz Introduces Non-Custodial USDT Swaps from Lightning Sats to Stablecoinshttps://blog.boltz.exchange/p/introducing-usdt-swaps-from-sats </p> <p>Nostr-VPN: Open-Source VPN Project Shared on Nostrhttps://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsgy97p3mk7q3nvqwy0l2snmdungssw220qrasr4yfhlrudsxjs3aqle4ltj </p> <p>DoorDash Launches Dasher Tasks for General Paid Workhttps://x.com/andyfang/status/2034725410462998964French </p> <p>Pokémon Go Creator’s Ties to In-Q-Tel, Keyhole Inc, and Google Earthhttps://x.com/JasonBassler1/status/2034289920165241295 </p> <p>Aircraft Carrier Position Leaked via Strava Fitness Apphttps://x.com/jsrailton/status/2034721758004064592402 </p> <p>3:33 - TSA </p> <p>12:23 - Dashboard </p> <p>14:53 - Kentucky seed phrases </p> <p>18:58 - GPU smuggling </p> <p>29:13 - Primal 3.0 </p> <p>39:48 - Strike Line of Credit </p> <p>42:08 - HRF Story of the Week </p> <p>45:53 - Boosts </p> <p>51:18 - 402 Index </p> <p>54:18 - Boltz USDT swaps </p> <p>57:45 - Nostr VPN </p> <p>59:48 - Dasher Tasks </p> <p>1:01:18 - Pokémon spying </p> <p>1:05:33 - Strava carrier dox </p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors: </p> <p>Coinkite </p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a> </p> <p>Strike </p> <p><a href="https://strike.me/">https://strike.me/</a> </p> <p>Stakwork </p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a> </p> <p>Salt of the Earth </p> <p><a href="https://drinksote.com/rhr">https://drinksote.com/rhr</a> </p> <p>Follow Marty Bent: </p> <p>Twitter </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a> </p> <p>Nostr </p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a> </p> <p>Newsletter </p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a> </p> <p>Podcast </p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a> </p> <p>Follow Odell: </p> <p>Nostr </p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a> </p> <p>Newsletter </p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a> </p> <p>Podcast </p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/">https://citadeldispatch.com/</a></p>

To justify the suspension, the country’s telecommunications agency said it observed “content that undermines human dignity, the country’s institutions, and national security” on digital platforms, but independent voices condemned the action as an obvious crackdown on dissent. Users of TikTok and Meta’s platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people’s ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>Stealth: Private Bitcoin Wallet Privacy Auditor Tool — <a href="https://x.com/brenorb/status/2028897371749269890">https://x.com/brenorb/status/2028897371749269890</a></p> <p>Cake Wallet Launches Lightning Network Integration — <a href="https://x.com/cakewallet/status/2028531059160182943">https://x.com/cakewallet/status/2028531059160182943</a></p> <p>Tailrelay: Simplified Start9 Access via Tailscale — <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9wqhks48fhvxz7j4ngl9mxgsqyempy7g2ywl4kn4km79shzuqulgsn4j65">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9wqhks48fhvxz7j4ngl9mxgsqyempy7g2ywl4kn4km79shzuqulgsn4j65</a></p> <p>YakiHonne Update: Scheduled Notes and New Features — <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsruj5rf9s6rqpzdvpsyc2end2jtn3hyqe8s8ggwld3pmn397r63nqm3p3rn">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsruj5rf9s6rqpzdvpsyc2end2jtn3hyqe8s8ggwld3pmn397r63nqm3p3rn</a></p> <p>Wisp: New Android Nostr Client in Beta — <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsddm6payrqvnultvp6n7ck69jwax74e3f7y3278qnhutdu33amxpc5rm3ze">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsddm6payrqvnultvp6n7ck69jwax74e3f7y3278qnhutdu33amxpc5rm3ze</a></p> <p>A Unified Command-Line Tool for All Google Workspace APIs, Built for Humans and AI Agents — <a href="https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli">https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli</a></p> <p>OpenClaw Surpasses React in GitHub Stars — <a href="https://x.com/openclaw/status/2028347703621464481">https://x.com/openclaw/status/2028347703621464481</a></p> <p>AI Agents Prefer Bitcoin: Research on Monetary Preferences — <a href="https://moneyforai.org">https://moneyforai.org</a></p> <p>3:54 - Iran </p> <p>14:24 - Dashboard </p> <p>16:04 - More Iran </p> <p>42:29 - Daghita </p> <p>45:34 - Au10tix </p> <p>47:54 - Moto Graphene </p> <p>51:24 - Zaps </p> <p>54:19 - Strike NY </p> <p>1:00:54 - Bitwise </p> <p>1:05:14 - HRF Story of the Week </p> <p>1:08:09 - Stealth wallet </p> <p>1:12:39 - Chamath fud </p> <p>1:19:29 - Software updates </p> <p>1:36:54 - BPI AI money test </p> <p>1:44:24 - Macro talk</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite </p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Strike </p> <p><a href="h

In remarks recently published by Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship journal used to convey policy intentions, Xi Jinping called for a “powerful currency” widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign-exchange markets. What’s new about these remarks is not their intended ambition, but rather how clearly those ambitions are stated to the public. Xi paired this plan with calls for a stronger central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and tighter control of systemic financial risks.</p> <p>PayPerQ (<a href="http://Primal.net">Primal.net</a>)<a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsz8xrf7qww033kl2vh3js2u5zyjnzu5kmepa67tk7w04ws0lnraccyr33p4">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsz8xrf7qww033kl2vh3js2u5zyjnzu5kmepa67tk7w04ws0lnraccyr33p4</a></p> <p>Kimi Claw | 24/7 AI Assistant with Long-term Memory & Automationhttps://www.kimi.com/bot</p> <p>Pika Chat (<a href="http://Primal.net">Primal.net</a>)<a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqspwmauzykanup2wskpwgsppajn026gjn6erd5a7aq2ypxc73dncxspsgemn">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqspwmauzykanup2wskpwgsppajn026gjn6erd5a7aq2ypxc73dncxspsgemn</a></p> <p>Claw Creator Hired by OpenAI (<a href="http://X.com">X.com</a>)<a href="https://x.com/bitcoinnewscom/status/2021978390870347923?s=46">https://x.com/bitcoinnewscom/status/2021978390870347923?s=46</a></p> <p>EO: Promoting the National Defense by Ensuring an Adequate Supply of Elemental Phosphorus and Glyphosate-Based Herbicideshttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/02/promoting-the-national-defense-by-ensuring-an-adequate-supply-of-elemental-phosphorus-and-glyphosate-based-herbicides/</p> <p>White House Statement on Xhttps://x.com/whitehouse/status/2024654469745480105?s=46</p> <p>Mav21</p> <p>3:54 - Aliens</p> <p>9:24 - Dashboard & quantum FUD</p> <p>15:24 - BIP110</p> <p>37:54 - AI surveillance</p> <p>46:24 - Zaps and Mav21</p> <p>49:09 - Dutch unrealized gains tax</p> <p>55:44 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>57:24 - Software updates</p> <p>1:07:14 - Boosts</p> <p>1:08:24 - Strike Sponsorship</p> <p>1:13:44 - River report</p> <p>1:17:00 - Glyphosate EO</p> <p>1:20:04 - California hates 3d printers</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/">https://citadeldispatch.com/</a></p>

The regime increasingly relies on restrictive controls over civil society’s monetary flows to punish dissent. In 2023, the regime froze the bank accounts of institutions affiliated with the Catholic Church, which led a Nicaraguan seminary to cease operations. Since 2018, thousands of NGOs have been forced to close or had their assets seized for alleged financial violations. In Nicaragua, authoritarian financial control is a primary way to stifle civil society. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- cove android <a href="https://x.com/covewallet/status/2016172119751594243?s=46">https://x.com/covewallet/status/2016172119751594243?s=46</a></p> <p>- opensats year in review <a href="https://opensats.org/blog/2025-year-in-review">https://opensats.org/blog/2025-year-in-review</a></p> <p>- Trump’s acting cyber chief uploaded sensitive files into a public version of ChatGPT <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/27/cisa-madhu-gottumukkala-chatgpt-00749361">https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/27/cisa-madhu-gottumukkala-chatgpt-00749361</a></p> <p>- tiktok us immediately starts data collection after acquisition <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsw56zur9g00dq55xlsawjgyh7yd4syd34zdy8a7ek6aavkhnnq5zs8ed70a">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsw56zur9g00dq55xlsawjgyh7yd4syd34zdy8a7ek6aavkhnnq5zs8ed70a</a></p> <p>3:59 - No dooming</p> <p>12:14 - Perspective</p> <p>16:29 - Dashboard & demand response</p> <p>34:34 - 1M active bitchat</p> <p>42:29 - Tether gold</p> <p>51:29 - SNI Dinner</p> <p>53:59 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>55:34 - Cove Wallet</p> <p>1:02:24 - OpenSats</p> <p>1:05:39 - Boosts</p> <p>1:10:29 - CISA GPT goof</p> <p>1:15:24 - TikTok spying in new ways</p> <p>1:17:04 - The Banter Section™</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>Salt of the Earth</p> <p><a href="https://drinksote.com/rhr">https://drinksote.com/rhr</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/">https://citadeldispatch.com/</a></p>

But “free” at launch does not mean neutral. As a direct central bank liability, the Digital Dirham gives the state full visibility into transactions and the power to impose future fees, conditions, or negative interest rates once adoption is established. The news follows the UAE’s first state-to-state CBDC transaction conducted via the multi-CBDC mBridge platform, which links the UAE with China and other authoritarian states in a shared, programmable settlement system. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- zeus v0.12.0 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs08j4ju90a4zx8qlnuztuyjel4gxk6tw3zacwrgyuw3x287z73y3qx8u32u">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs08j4ju90a4zx8qlnuztuyjel4gxk6tw3zacwrgyuw3x287z73y3qx8u32u</a></p> <p>- zap store v1.0 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs8amepcej6w806da4z0ztrq03zdsnr5x6r4nphexnf39nax0wz2kqlmne06">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs8amepcej6w806da4z0ztrq03zdsnr5x6r4nphexnf39nax0wz2kqlmne06</a></p> <p>- bitcoin optech year in review <a href="https://x.com/bitcoinoptech/status/2002038834003902502">https://x.com/bitcoinoptech/status/2002038834003902502</a></p> <p>- venezuela drone concern <a href="https://medium.com/@mcnai002/the-venezuelan-drone-crisis-313dad18497d">https://medium.com/@mcnai002/the-venezuelan-drone-crisis-313dad18497d</a></p> <p>- chinese cargo ship convert <a href="https://x.com/rickjoe_pla/status/2004128671645458617">https://x.com/rickjoe_pla/status/2004128671645458617</a></p> <p>- trump fusion</p> <p>- glyohosates <a href="https://x.com/wallstreetmav/status/2002253288495022376">https://x.com/wallstreetmav/status/2002253288495022376</a></p> <p>3:59 – Merry Christmas, Silver squeeze</p> <p>18:26 – Oslo airport bitcoin</p> <p>20:44 – Dashboard</p> <p>22:44 – Free Samourai</p> <p>24:44 – Heatpunks</p> <p>25:59 – HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>27:59 – EU censoring US</p> <p>31:59 – Chats and boosts</p> <p>35:34 – Software updates</p> <p>38:24 – Venezuelan drone crisis</p> <p>47:19 – Epstein files</p> <p>52:59 – Glyphosates</p> <p>1:13:29 – 2026 predictions</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>Salt of the Earth</p> <p><a href="https://drinksote.com/rhr">https://drinksote.com/rhr</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/">https://citadeldispatch.com/</a></p>

At India Blockchain Week, an NPCI consultant shared that the digital rupee can be restricted for specific purposes, approved merchants, and particular locations. For example, recent transfers of the programmable CBDC for farmers and livestock owners limited purchases to “approved inputs” with geographic tagging enabled. The CBDC is compatible with India’s state-run payment system, known as Unified Payment Interface (UPI), enabling users to pay with the digital rupee by scanning existing UPI QR codes. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- boss challenge <a href="https://bosschallenge.xyz">https://bosschallenge.xyz</a></p> <p>- rawbit <a href="https://x.com/rawbit_io/status/1996554245412196553">https://x.com/rawbit_io/status/1996554245412196553</a></p> <p>- ZEUS v0.12.0-beta1 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqst6gxa5elzzkknaj3f30q8f433xypq6d2g6vjmgh8lgfcg383954sqj25yh">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqst6gxa5elzzkknaj3f30q8f433xypq6d2g6vjmgh8lgfcg383954sqj25yh</a></p> <p>- Hash-based Signature Schemes for Bitcoin <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/2203.pdf">https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/2203.pdf</a></p> <p>- farcaster pivot <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqspvqykcqmy45gpewyaryuhuw2zf52uvs3k443p7pea4vgvgm5pqtggjzqsq">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqspvqykcqmy45gpewyaryuhuw2zf52uvs3k443p7pea4vgvgm5pqtggjzqsq</a></p> <p>- australia digital id <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsgerh7qyrnjf7v7c9mkxeeh57480mun5qs447uyal45g9ss33t5cg4zhnef">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsgerh7qyrnjf7v7c9mkxeeh57480mun5qs447uyal45g9ss33t5cg4zhnef</a></p> <p>- new us border rules <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsvscew4zw5hnygmr2tqhgwe8vgv5cjlfelhqx0tgplwypztuq8frq85sqsz">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsvscew4zw5hnygmr2tqhgwe8vgv5cjlfelhqx0tgplwypztuq8frq85sqsz</a> + <a href="https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22461.pdf">https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22461.pdf</a></p> <p>- ai glasses face recognition <a href="https://x.com/pascal_bornet/status/1997215380423495938">https://x.com/pascal_bornet/status/1997215380423495938</a></p> <p>- carvana, $cvna <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CVNA/">https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CVNA/</a></p> <p>0:00 - Opening riff</p> <p>7:00 - Dashboard</p> <p>16:15 - Gridless</p> <p>21:10 - Bitcoin AfterDark</p> <p>33:10 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>40:00 - Boosts</p> <p>49:35 - Aussie surveillance</p> <p>55:10 - Software updates</p> <p>1:20:25 - Border rules</p> <p>1:27:40 - AI glasses</p> <p>1:31:10 - Carvana</p> <p>1:32:00 - Bitcoin Products leak</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>Salt of the Earth</p> <p><a href="https://drinksote.com/rhr">https://drinksote.com/rhr</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p&

The UAE deploys an extensive and sophisticated surveillance tool system across public spaces and digital communications, raising concerns that placing transactions on a state-controlled CBDC ledger would further centralize visibility over everyday financial activity.</p> <p>In Context: Project mBridge connects the CBDCs of China, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Thailand into a unified, programmable settlement system. Designed to give central banks real-time visibility and control over cross-border flows, the surveillance-ready platform risks exporting the financial governance model of authoritarian states. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- satellite earth v2 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs8c4y4uzymxnh9fhguf2k806nn3zuvl9rsqzhq94dxslxjpw2ukdc2c9zlx">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs8c4y4uzymxnh9fhguf2k806nn3zuvl9rsqzhq94dxslxjpw2ukdc2c9zlx</a></p> <p>- universal high income <a href="https://x.com/breaking911/status/1991235382655045956">https://x.com/breaking911/status/1991235382655045956</a></p> <p>- sherman twitter <a href="https://x.com/martybent/status/1989508740215865855">https://x.com/martybent/status/1989508740215865855</a></p> <p>- cloudflare outage</p> <p>3:59 - Dump vibes</p> <p>9:59 - Strike</p> <p>17:24 - Dashboard</p> <p>22:34 - Free Samourai</p> <p>26:34 - Block</p> <p>31:04 - Warren Davidson</p> <p>34:44 - Kraken</p> <p>38:19 - Pubkey DC</p> <p>49:24 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>54:59 - Boosts</p> <p>59:04 - Satellite v2</p> <p>1:00:39 - Bubba</p> <p>1:02:04 - Autopilot insider trading</p> <p>1:04:14 - Elon no jobs</p> <p>1:07:59 - Gooner congressman</p> <p>1:11:39 - Cloudflare</p> <p>1:13:49 - Anthropic attacks</p> <p>1:20:44 - Strike loans</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>Salt of the Earth</p> <p><a href="https://drinksote.com/rhr">https://drinksote.com/rhr</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/"&gt

Governor Vitai Ratanakorn said the central bank will step up due diligence, prioritize investigations into suspicious transactions, and require immediate reporting of irregular activity from banks, currency exchanges, and gold traders. While the policy aims to disrupt transnational criminal networks engaged in online scams and human trafficking, experts fear such a development may lead to broader surveillance of digital transactions and payments, which could threaten the privacy of many Southeast Asian dissidents based in Thailand. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- maple 2.0 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsgatjk7acgs4ygjzl84af87vvlmufqfas9xg39ztcy2njgcpc6rzsptcjt5">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsgatjk7acgs4ygjzl84af87vvlmufqfas9xg39ztcy2njgcpc6rzsptcjt5</a></p> <p>- whitenoise v0.2.0 <a href="https://dev.primal.net/e/nevent1qqswdyrw8fdhf0e5s9aawj0s2hk2xjzy6c0qkxt420v4p29928u893qrpv8lw">https://dev.primal.net/e/nevent1qqswdyrw8fdhf0e5s9aawj0s2hk2xjzy6c0qkxt420v4p29928u893qrpv8lw</a></p> <p>4:00 - Dump</p> <p>13:45 - Square bitcoin</p> <p>28:40 - Strike and Rumble</p> <p>33:20 - 50 year mortgages</p> <p>42:20 - Robinhood cash</p> <p>44:40 - Vine is back baybeeee</p> <p>46:30 - Cheaper Starlink</p> <p>48:00 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>49:15 - Software updates</p> <p>52:00 - Boosts</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>Salt of the Earth</p> <p><a href="https://drinksote.com/rhr">https://drinksote.com/rhr</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/">https://citadeldispatch.com/</a></p>

This follows a sharp rise in rent prices in recent years, a trend that the policy aims to curb. Violations face steep financial punishments. Property owners who violate the freeze risk fines of up to a year’s rent plus compensation for tenants. And whistleblowers can earn 20% of any fines collected. While billed as relief, rent freezes are a form of price control that can often yield adverse effects. Property owners may reduce upkeep, shift investments away from housing, or demand informal payments to compensate for the loss of income. This can create shortages and deteriorating conditions, making it disproportionately harder for new or lower-income residents to find affordable housing amid the backdrop of authoritarian rule and immense digital repression. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- Sparrow v2.3.0 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsy5awlgj30eeda3kv0flmjpsf23zaft2rmugv2kzw57874dwshsss6058qt">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsy5awlgj30eeda3kv0flmjpsf23zaft2rmugv2kzw57874dwshsss6058qt</a></p> <p>- Coldcard Firmware Release 1.3.4Q & 5.4.4Mk4 <a href="https://blog.coinkite.com/spending-policy/">https://blog.coinkite.com/spending-policy/</a></p> <p>- Marmot Open Source Secure Messaging Protocol <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9kvauvvx7w82ft3lt6ujxhx8ksgcf39mc50mh3cv7a90kqgn7g0gt9u0qj">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9kvauvvx7w82ft3lt6ujxhx8ksgcf39mc50mh3cv7a90kqgn7g0gt9u0qj</a></p> <p>- Shakespeare Act 2 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs8nsxy9yas5grstgscpvnlsz0ltwkgxseyxzwx6vfd04eme72afmqeqmctq">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs8nsxy9yas5grstgscpvnlsz0ltwkgxseyxzwx6vfd04eme72afmqeqmctq</a></p> <p>- Hashpool live on testnet4 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsy88qd33qwsqw8ly8pyud2ztsa0fnhvygqgua4rm8gtc60y54knxg48k87l">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsy88qd33qwsqw8ly8pyud2ztsa0fnhvygqgua4rm8gtc60y54knxg48k87l</a></p> <p>- Kagi releases ad free news app <a href="https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-news">https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-news</a></p> <p>- <a href="https://www.opensourceecology.org/">https://www.opensourceecology.org/</a></p> <p>2:35 - Ten31 Retreat</p> <p>8:40 - Dashboard</p> <p>12:10 - NostrTV</p> <p>13:60 - Samsung x Coinbase</p> <p>17:35 - Signal EU Chat Control</p> <p>23:45 - Marmot</p> <p>25:60 - TikTok Larry Ellison</p> <p>28:35 - ICE raids mine</p> <p>32:20 - OpenSats</p> <p>36:45 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>41:15 - Software updates</p> <p>1:04:10 - AI dystopia</p> <p>1:11:15 - Bitcoin Debasement Trade</p> <p>1:14:35 - Treasury debt & Coca-Cola</p> <p>1:21:25 - Inflation</p> <p>1:27:50 - Open Source Ecology</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>F

It also set strict daily transfer limits for citizens, ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 baht ($1,500 to $6,000). This comes after suffering nearly 6 billion baht ($189 million) in damages from online scams in recent months. The freeze has left many online creators, small businesses, and foreign residents unable to access funds or process payments. The heavy-handed approach caused panic withdrawals and confusion. It offers a glimpse into how broad state measures against fraud can unintentionally lead to financial repression, cutting Thais off from their own money. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- peach v69 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsq6zg923797t477lu27lhpwqflyw0lh7403chznj5s627pr68xkkqpasx49">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsq6zg923797t477lu27lhpwqflyw0lh7403chznj5s627pr68xkkqpasx49</a></p> <p>- maple on android <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs948d8zpvvp0w42qq05xlz8p8727sgq76zlphffs7gucl2hwmw09gm9jzfa">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs948d8zpvvp0w42qq05xlz8p8727sgq76zlphffs7gucl2hwmw09gm9jzfa</a></p> <p>- macadamia v0.4.0 <a href="https://x.com/macadamiacash/status/1970481871466455066">https://x.com/macadamiacash/status/1970481871466455066</a></p> <p>- white noise v1.0.4 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsyyfhu2jv02rwf7g6vmr7tj6rek8qf5p6akhh2kj79ahnrhghcmvqwupc8p">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsyyfhu2jv02rwf7g6vmr7tj6rek8qf5p6akhh2kj79ahnrhghcmvqwupc8p</a></p> <p>- California's SB 771 - <a href="https://primal.net/marty/california-is-attacking-speech-by-trying-to-negate-section-230">https://primal.net/marty/california-is-attacking-speech-by-trying-to-negate-section-230</a></p> <p>- UK to institute Digital ID system to stop illegal immigrants - <a href="https://x.com/TFTC21/status/1971235726307230192">https://x.com/TFTC21/status/1971235726307230192</a></p> <p>2:35 - Censorship</p> <p>6:50 - Dashboard</p> <p>13:15 - Plan B conference</p> <p>18:25 - Circle reversible stablecoins</p> <p>25:20 - Tangem cracked</p> <p>30:35 - Obscura</p> <p>36:10 - Fold physical cards</p> <p>37:45 - Strike lending ND</p> <p>40:45 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>44:20 - Boosts</p> <p>49:35 - Software updates</p> <p>1:11:55 - SB 771</p> <p>1:21:45 - UK digital ID</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Obscura</p> <p><a href="https://obscura.net/">https://obscura.net/</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p&gt

Since then, the volume of digital asset payments has grown more than fivefold to nearly $300 million in the first half of 2025. The University of San Andres allegedly pays its international faculty in Bitcoin. Carlos Neira, co-founder of Colombian wallet provider Meru, reports a staggering 6,600% increase in Bolivian users since the ban was lifted. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- Founder of SimpleX on why he is not implementing MLS <a href="https://www.poberezkin.com/posts/2025-08-12-mls-the-naked-king-of-end-to-end-encryption.html">https://www.poberezkin.com/posts/2025-08-12-mls-the-naked-king-of-end-to-end-encryption.html</a></p> <p>- Signal boss: ‘disturbing’ laws show the UK doesn’t understand tech <a href="https://archive.is/BtZD0">https://archive.is/BtZD0</a></p> <p>- Location tracking based on photos <a href="https://archive.is/YjaYy">https://archive.is/YjaYy</a> + <a href="https://x.com/heinenbros/status/1941943605343785219">https://x.com/heinenbros/status/1941943605343785219</a></p> <p>- American Hodl vlogs on nostr <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9gs5rrya4f3zql67yzemwmkehm96d7cxwakypjelp4xayqa36a2ctlx4zp">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9gs5rrya4f3zql67yzemwmkehm96d7cxwakypjelp4xayqa36a2ctlx4zp</a></p> <p>0:00 - Intro</p> <p>2:35 - Block Rig</p> <p>14:46 - Monero attacks</p> <p>23:24 - Bessent's stealing your coins</p> <p>27:29 - PPI</p> <p>32:50 - Polymarket fed decision</p> <p>36:53 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>52:09 - Poberezkin MLS blog</p> <p>56:14 - Ark mainnet</p> <p>1:00:40 - Signal boss calls out UK</p> <p>1:01:57 - AI Surveillance</p> <p>1:06:46 - HODL v-logging on Nostr</p> <p>1:10:46 - Boosts</p> <p>1:17:11 - Stoneridge</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Bitkey</p> <p><a href="https://bitkey.world/">https://bitkey.world/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/podcasts/</a></p> <p>Follow Odell:</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/odell">https://primal.net/odell</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://discreetlog.com/">https://discreetlog.com/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://citadeldispatch.com/">https://citadeldispatch.com/</a></p>

Last week, that law came into full effect. It criminalizes the use of VPNs, mandates that platforms store and hand over user data to officials upon request, and allows authorities to shut down Internet access at will. It also empowers regime-aligned law enforcement with the absolute authority to check citizens’ phones on the street. Penalties include up to six months in prison for sharing posts deemed “misinformation” or for using encrypted apps (like VPNs) to access information. Reports have already surfaced of police extorting bribes from people at checkpoints for having VPNs or “illegal social media” like X, Facebook, or YouTube on their phones. The law poses immediate threats to journalists and activists critical of the military regime or using privacy tools. Amid the junta’s effort to stage a sham election to expand militarized control, this deepens Burma’s retreat from civic freedoms and shrinks the already fragile space for independent voices and the free flow of information. <a href="http://FinancialFreedomReport.org">FinancialFreedomReport.org</a></p> <p>- OpenAI GPT-OSS 120B <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsw9z858hlpxkyc2h2kza9svqzu38hprs45pn334uprecggfw3gqtgpwwskw">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsw9z858hlpxkyc2h2kza9svqzu38hprs45pn334uprecggfw3gqtgpwwskw</a></p> <p>- Primal iOS 2.3.56 <a href="https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqswmxlw8tdt7k375a0qvutdfx3pagd3lu8khxhyycjy3z7qpj5t9ssrpej07">https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqswmxlw8tdt7k375a0qvutdfx3pagd3lu8khxhyycjy3z7qpj5t9ssrpej07</a></p> <p>0:00 - Intro</p> <p>2:35 - Higher</p> <p>6:50 - Dashboard</p> <p>12:02 - Roman Storm found guilty</p> <p>25:54 - SEC commissioner slams BSA</p> <p>31:38 - EU chat control</p> <p>36:50 - Ministry of Truth</p> <p>40:11 - OpenSats</p> <p>44:01 - Strike announcements</p> <p>48:25 - Boosts</p> <p>52:09 - HRF Story of the Week</p> <p>55:25 - SLNT accepts bitcoin</p> <p>1:10:10 - Maple GPT-OSS</p> <p>1:26:48 - Primal update</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Coinkite</p> <p><a href="https://coinkite.com/">https://coinkite.com/</a></p> <p>Bitkey</p> <p><a href="https://bitkey.world/">https://bitkey.world/</a></p> <p>Stakwork</p> <p><a href="https://stakwork.ai/">https://stakwork.ai/</a></p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martybent">https://twitter.com/martybent</a></p> <p>Nostr</p> <p><a href="https://primal.net/marty">https://primal.net/marty</a></p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/martys-bent/">https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</a></p> <p>Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://tftc.io/podcasts/">https://tftc.io/p

A letter signed by two of El Salvador’s top finance officials also confirmed the state has not bought Bitcoin since February 2025. The revelation comes after El Salvador secured a $1.4 billion IMF loan, which required the government to scale back key parts of its Bitcoin policy, including ending tax payments in Bitcoin, phasing out the Chivo wallet, and making private sector acceptance voluntary. While Bukele continues to tout Bitcoin as part of El Salvador’s identity, the disconnect between official actions and public messaging calls into question transparency and credibility.

Starting July 1, individuals trading digital assets on unauthorized platforms could face prison sentences of up to five years. And “providing unauthorized crypto asset exchange services” could land you up to eight years. “The legislation’s broad language and lack of implementation guidelines have created a legal gray area where previously legal activities could now result in criminal prosecution,” Forbes reports. Digital asset exchange Revolut has already halted services for its 2 million Hungarian users, “temporarily” freezing accounts with no timeline for restoring services. The legislation is problematic because it criminalizes basic financial activities, such as buying and selling Bitcoin, while not providing a legal or compliant way to do so. It limits individuals from storing value outside traditional banking. It also eliminates an option for people who might use Bitcoin to protect their savings, support dissenting causes, or escape financial surveillance.

The move is designed to monitor energy use, enforce tax collection, and stamp out unregistered operations in key mining regions. A separate law, still in draft form, would also allow courts to seize digital assets linked to mining deemed “illegal.” Miners who fail to comply will face fines of up to 2 million rubles (about $22,000). Six regions are already under a full mining ban until 2031. Overall, Russia’s new Bitcoin mining registry poses serious risks to financial and civil liberties. By forcing miners to register equipment and comply with rules under threat of asset seizure or closure, the Kremlin gains greater surveillance and control over Bitcoin mining in Russia and offers a potential blueprint for other authoritarian regimes.
