It’s time to start a movement to get more people to Wear Fucking Masks. We need to dispel the myth that mask wearing in public is only for people in Asia.

Like Singapore, Hong Kong releases similar COVID-19 information.
People in other places (ie. larger countries) should ask themselves what they're paying their governments for if they can't even get these basics right.
Historical photos from the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak in the US, Europe and Asia.
Everyone is wearing masks.
How did the Western world lose this knowledge and develop an anti-mask culture?
Tried to pay for lunch and Apple Pay gave me a glimpse into a dystopian future where centralized, permissioned digital money doesn’t work when it doesn’t want to.
This our future in a world without bitcoin.
We're building Stacks on

We change things.

Looking forward to the “Maximizing Monetary Meltdowns” panel discussion with SBF, Montgomery Burns and Yellen moderated by He Who Must Not Be Named.
Don’t believe there’s a war on cash?
This wtf FATF propaganda from the FT tries to convince readers that Japan’s low crime, desire for financial privacy & distrust of banks is an “addiction” that needs to be painfully “cured”
Evil people build things where they as insiders can be evil. The more evil made possible for them the more they like it.
Non-evil people build things to minimize the threats from evil people, insider or outsider alike.
Learned this from
@NickSzabo4
“Some people think I’m still a maximalist...they haven’t been paying attention”
“The data doesn’t fit the reality”
“There will not be one chain”
“Like it or not, that’s what I see. That’s where we’re going”

Background: I lived through SARS in 2003 and was one of those people that didn’t wear a Fucking mask:
“Fucking masks can’t filter viruses. Fucking Masks are for Fucking cowards.”
I was Fucking wrong. I Fucking missed the point.

Excited to announced the developer preview of our Blockstack mobile developer toolkits for iOS and Android! Mobile dapps are coming soon to a phone near you...
Fucking surgical masks keep you from spraying droplets on other people when you talk, cough or sneeze. These droplets might contain Fucking viruses which will Fucking infect other people.

Thanks to the free market, Hong Kong has masks available in every pharmacy and shops are overflowing with disinfectants and toliet paper.
Good on the government for not giving into some people’s calls for price controls & rationing.
#coronavirus
Our goal is to reduce the growth rate in
#COVID
-19 cases so that they don’t Fucking exceed healthcare system capacity. This is called Flattening the Fucking Curve. Fucking Masks can help us do this.

Attention
@stacks
OGs:
Your .id BNS names expire next Wednesday and today is the day to renew them.
I'm excited to announce RenewBNS, our tool to renew your BNS names.
Tuesday, America goes to vote. I won’t be voting because two years ago I renounced US citizenship.
Today, I share my story of expatriation in the hope that it will help others on their journey for personal freedom. 1/n
The people behind me were Fucking coughing and Fucking sneezing. I could Fucking feel their Fucking droplet projectiles flying by my Fucking bald head. It was Not Fucking Cool. I wish they had worn Fucking masks.

10 years ago today,
@stacks
launched on Hacker News as OneName.
I saw it on that day and reached out to
@ryaneshea
&
@muneeb
asking for the name "larry" and it's been turtles all the way down ever since!
Looking forward for the next 10 years!
Fucking masks protect other people as much or even more than they Fucking protect you. Even if you are young and healthy, you could be unknowingly infected and spread the virus to others.
Don’t be a Super Spreader. No one likes them.

The turning point for me was in February 2020 when I was on a Fucking flight from Hong Kong to Hanoi. Everyone on the Fucking flight, except for the row of people ahead and behind me, was wearing a Fucking mask.

The free market had working a COVID-19 test by January 11. Because of CDC incompetence & FDA regulation, US private industry couldn’t test until February 28th.
Thousands will die. Maybe millions. Trillions in wealth destroyed.
Hong Kong’s new “Mandatory Mask Law”
“a person must wear a mask at any time within any catering premises, except when the person is consuming food or drink on the premises;”
“It’s not realistic to store anything for free for ever”

Existing blockchains including bitcoin don’t charge users for storing data on blockchain forever.
@ergoplatformorg
is trying to change this by charging a fee from coins that haven’t been moved in 4 years.
Dear UK,
Putting people you've tested as positive for SARS-CoV-2 on planes to Hong Kong is NOT COOL.
Infected people belong in isolation rooms, not on British Airways planes.
It isn't rocket science.
Please get your act together.
Thanks,
Hong Kongers
Hong Kong airport is empty but Hong Kong IKEA is packed.
Who would have thought people forced to stay at or work from home suddenly want to buy things to make their homes more comfortable?
Tiktok is blocking all users whose SIM card is from a Hong Kong carrier. They are *not* blocking Hong Kong IP addresses.
A VPN won’t give you access to Tiktok, but a SIM card from another country will re-enable your Tiktok.
We, the Mask Warriors, declare victory!
-Masks are mainstream.
-The authorities have admitted they were wrong.
-We won the Battle of the Masks.

With 5 dollars and suppliers most Americans already have lying around their houses, you can make 110 masks easily without sewing. Love the ingenuity.

1/ Today is bitcoin’s 10th birthday.
Bitcoin changed the way I look at the world and helped me on my own journey towards personal freedom,
My favorite thing about Bitcoin is the people it has brought into my life.
This is a thread about them:
“A key manager in every pocket and a node in every home”
“If we can achieve that then we can turn that into a revolution in how the internet works”

STX sponsored transactions open up the possibility of paying sponsors in lightning, on-chain bitcoin or even fiat so that they pay for your transactions to be executed. STX as gas - hidden from end users.
Governments use language to brainwash you into thinking freedom is bad:
They call permissionless trade & commerce "the black market"
They call financial privacy "money laundering"
They call a market clearing price they don't like "price gouging"
