Sad day. Navalny knew the potential cost, and he did the right thing anyway. Repeatedly. If only more had his courage….
“I have to go back.” Speaking just before he returned to Russia, Navalny told me: “I don’t think that I can have such a privilege of being safe in Russia, but I have to go back, because I don’t want this group of killers [to] exist in Russia. I don’t want Putin ruling Russia.”

US crypto policy goes one of two ways:
1) align with democracies by supporting decentralized technologies, which embody American principles of open access, fair treatment, and personal autonomy
2) align with dictators by trying to ban them as a threat to authoritarian control

Non-crypto friends: pay attention. It’s time to zoom out from a debate about BTC or ETH or Doge, and recognize what’s at stake in the 2024 election cycle. Who do we want America to be in the digital age? Do we want our kids to grow up in a full-blown surveillance state?
The Fed just announced it will introduce its “FedNow” Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in July. CBDCs grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.
While cash transactions are anonymous, a
