Are Antistate Libertarians Hypocrites Re: Voluntary Agreements?
Is the current State just an enormous and (highly dysfunctional) "ancap voluntaryist enclave" already, and libertarians are actually the NAP-breaking enemies of civil agreement?
[Original] Listing some cool and/or controversial accounts on nostr. trying to put people in here with different viewpoints and vibes to keep it as hollistic as possible for debates, arguments, reasons, discussions, controversies and contradictions. open to suggestions as well.

As artificial intelligence drives the cost of everything toward zero, it's accelerating toward a head-on collision with debt-based monetary systems that require inflation to survive. Bitcoin isn't just digital gold, it's anti-surveillance infrastructure disguised as money, a parallel system where AI's productivity gains flow to participants rather than being extracted by monetary authorities. The real AI trade isn't betting on which companies profit from machine intelligence. It's choosing which system mediates human existence in an AI-shaped world: one that monitors and manages, or one that enables and empowers.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, I faced unprecedented backlash for simply refusing to mourn a genocide apologist. This piece explains why I have zero empathy for supporters of Israel and Zionism, regardless of their race or background.
Not your keys, not your coins. This guide walks you step-by-step through setting up the BitBox02 on Linux, Android, and iOS โ including critical notes on udev rules, proper backups, and the dangers of the optional passphrase.
Installing GrapheneOS is only the first step toward digital sovereignty. To truly harden the device against physical seizure, network surveillance, and coercion, specific configurations are required. This guide explores essential settings โ from Auto Reboot to Duress PINs โ and why they are necessary.
W is being sold as Europeโs principled alternative to X, but in reality it is a case study in how centralized power, regulatory hubris, and elite technocratic anxiety collide with market reality. Announced at Davos and framed in the sanctimonious language of โfighting disinformation,โ W is not a social network built for users, it is a state-adjacent communications platform designed to make speech legible, governable, and controllable. By mandating ID and photo verification, ignoring network effects, embracing centralization, and optimizing for Brussels rather than human behaviour, W reveals its true purpose: restoring institutional control over the narrative terrain rather than empowering individuals.
Millions of Bitcoin are lost because private keys die with their owners. This guide explains how to use Liana Wallet and Miniscript to create an on-chain inheritance plan that relies on math and timelocks, rather than lawyers or trusted third parties.
Crypto was supposed to be the counterparty to reality's risk; now that is gone. The crypto industry is no longer the one I knew, the one that could change the world from within.

Modern AI is critical infrastructure, but often comes at the cost of privacy. This report analyzes Maple AI and how it uses AWS Nitro Enclaves and OpenSecret to provide cryptographic proof that your data remains unseenโeven while using powerful models like DeepSeek.
A tangier alternative to a traditional creamy potato salad. Best served warm. A perfect side for a winter supper.
When journalist Scott Ritter woke up to a $0.00 bank balance after 26 years with Citizens Bank; no charges, no crime, no explanation, his response revealed everything wrong with how we think about financial freedom. Instead of recognizing the brutal truth that fiat banking is permission-based control, he begged the very system that destroyed him for mercy: letters to Congressmen, appeals to the FBI, pleas to bank executives. The system isn't broken, it's working exactly as designed to transform banks into State enforcers and your money into a revocable privilege. Reform is a fantasy. Exit is the only solution.
Notes of my journey to date.
Heathcliff is currently recovering after being hit by a car last week. I want to share a funny story about Heathcliff which happened earlier today.
On Nostr, your private key is your identity. This guide explains why copy-pasting this key into clients like Primal or Damus exposes you to clipboard hijacking and hot wallet risks. It advocates for the use of external signers like Amber to isolate cryptographic secrets from social applications.
This guide outlines the architecture for a truly sovereign Nostr identity. By generating keys within a dedicated signer like Amber and keeping them isolated from clients, users move from platform feudalism to digital ownership. It describes the necessary steps to create, secure, and back up a digital identity that no third party can confiscate.
The Nostr Zap Store challenges the centralized control of Apple and Google by enabling permissionless app distribution. Combining cryptographic signatures, decentralized storage via Blossom, and Value4Value economics, it offers a sovereign alternative to Walled Gardens. This article analyzes the architecture, security model, and current state of this cypherpunk innovation.
