Bitcoin 2022 Event
With an FDC there are no anonymous donations to the charity of your choice. Gone is the ability to anonymously spend on the recreational activity of your choice. Every single transaction is tracked, followed, and logged. FDC is one of the most significant infringements on Liberty in recent years.
Independent currencies are essential to our freedom. We must bring the liberty and crypto communities together NOW to defend this right. I’ll be speaking about this at Bitcoin 2022, but the conversation can’t stop there.
On Saturday, April 9th at 11 AM, I am hosting a roundtable brunch at Havana 1957 in Miami Beach. We’ll have Crypto superstars Dan Held, Jessica Vaugn, and Mark Moss plus Liberty legends Martha Bueno and Lyn Ulbricht. Get your tickets as soon as possible and join us to make an impact in bringing these communities together.
Hope to see you there!
– Jo Jorgensen
