Who knows, maybe they made a deal with the prosecutors so that in the end they would receive a lighter sentence. When the system wants you punished, it finds a way to do it.

August 2, 1976 Newsweek - The article, titled "A Star Is Born," highlights Nadia Comăneci's extraordinary performance at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where she made history by earning the first perfect score of 10.0 in gymnastics, cementing her legacy as a Romanian icon.

During the Samourai trial today, this tweet was cited as evidence. Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill pleaded guilty to conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitter business.

You don't have to be paid in Bitcoin to stack sats.

Every job tied to fiat currency is, in essence, a job tied to Bitcoin. The choice is yours: remain captive to a corrupt system or break free from its chains. Time is on your side, so it’s best to start today, because it’s a race between you and them. Institutions are already seizing this opportunity, where do you stand? Bitcoin was designed for us, not for them, yet it’s here for everyone. #Bitcoin

"First, they hunted down all the unvaccinated, and now they are hunting down everyone with a Russian passport. Whether they are opera singers or athletes with disabilities, what kind of messed-up world are we actually living in?" - Felix Baumgartner RIP Felix (1969-2025)

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 🟠 What I like about Bitcoin is that it allows me to have more time for myself.

The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws. - Tacitus, The Annals of Imperial Rome.

The reasons why we are on nostr and use Bitcoin.

Bitcoin mass adoption won’t come from evangelization, but from the growing necessity of those seeking solutions to their problems. As the digitization of money advances toward CBDC solutions, as inflation rises, as the state imposes more taxes, and as the use of cash is increasingly restricted, the corrupt fiat system will force people to find alternatives. Each according to their need, Bitcoin is a tool accessible to all, and necessity is the best teacher. Congratulations to all who have awakened in consciousness, you are an elite minority with an incredible advantage over others.

If you look at the European Union, you can’t help but notice that the politicians leading it are on the wrong path, yet a large portion of citizens are unaware of this or are affected by Stockholm syndrome. In recent years, the EU has slid down a tyrannical slope, disregarding the problems of Europeans and transforming into a belligerent supranational apparatus. From what I observe, those in Western EU countries are less aware of what’s happening to them, so it’s no surprise that those who have already lived through a totalitarian period under communism are more alert and sensitive to the totalitarian tendencies of EU officials. Yesterday, a Romanian MEP, Gheorghe Piperea, a lawyer, initiated a no-confidence motion against Ursula von der Leyen. It’s unlikely to succeed, but it’s a wake-up call for everyone, this cannot go on. What was Ursula’s response? Those trying to bring her down are paid by Moscow, they’re extremists (how convenient, isn't it). It’s the typical response of woke politicians, detached from reality and the people. That’s how it was with Ceaușescu, who believed he was untouchable until the very end. I don’t know if something similar could happen at the European level, but I do know that action creates reaction, and the more the rights and concerns of Europeans are ignored, the stronger the response will be when it comes.
