I understand realpolitik and the transactional nature of international relations. Still, using an invasion and the threat of existential destruction to force a country to surrender half of its rare resources in exchange for protection is nothing but racketeering. It is morally reprehensible.

I didn't know the story; it's a great one. Thank you!

Soon, the Polish edition of the book "Broken Money" by the brilliant @Lyn Alden will be published by Freedom Publishing. I had the great pleasure of working with the publisher as a consultant on the Polish version of the book. The book doesn't need advertising here on nostr, but I am glad it will reach a wider audience of Polish readers. You can also become a patron of this edition today, which I warmly encourage. More information can be found on the publisher's website:

Why Bitcoin needs to be protected at all costs

The Fiat system is a privacy nightmare. Regulations can be weaponized against dissidents and civil society. Building freedom technologies is vital ...

That's stunning. It'd be useful to see someone unrelated to @OCEAN replicate this experiment.
