Chinese officials visited Moscow’s central bank, finance ministry, and other key agencies to analyze how Russia navigated economic restrictions. This proactive approach speaks to fears China may have over its $3.3 trillion in foreign reserves and overseas bank assets, which would face significant restrictions under Western sanctions. In an effort to mitigate these risks, China is working to diversify away from dollar-denominated assets and reduce reliance on US Treasury bonds, which underpin the global financial system. This comes amid escalating tensions with the US after Washington approved an arms shipment to Taiwan, prompting Beijing to vow “resolute countermeasures.” FinancialFreedomReport.org</p> <br /></p> - BDK Code Audit https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/_2024-q4-code-audit/</p> <br /></p> - Eclair v0.11.0: Official Bolt 12 Support, Splicing, Liquidity Ads & On-The-Fly Funding Prototypes https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/eclair-v0-11-0/</p> <br /></p> - Damus Notedeck Alpha Now Available to Purple Subscribers https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/damus-notedeck-v0-2-0/</p> <br /></p> - Coinbase says to not use VPNs https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/coinbase-asks-users-to-stop-using-vpns-and-ad-blockers/</p> <br /></p> - Alex Mashinsky: founder of bankrupt crypto firm to plead guilty to fraud https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/03/alex-mashinsky-crypto-fraud-celsius</p> <br /></p> - U.S. Officials Urge Americans to Use Encrypted Messaging Apps https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/u-s-officials-urge-americans-to-use-encrypted-messaging-apps/</p> <br /></p> - Corporate Transparency Act blocked nationwide by Texas judge https://news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-report/corporate-transparency-act-blocked-nationwide-by-texas-court</p> <br /></p> - what bitcoin did relaunches</p> <br /></p> - 1123 days, shoutout to yellow https://x.com/ICOffenderII/status/1864574706583547911</p> <br /></p> <br /></p> 0:00 - Intro</p> 3:52 - Let’s gooooooooo</p> 11:57 - Bitstein video</p> 16:30 - Trump says you’re welcome</p> 18:15 - Shoutout to Yellow</p> 20:29 - Dashboard</p> 27:15 - Strike launches bill pay</p> 30:47 - Putin bitcoin comment and BRICS talk</p> 38:38 - Healthcare assassination</p> 41:41 - HRF Story of the Week</p> 43:34 - Boosts and Primal/Fountain talk</p> 50:47 - Software updates</p> 57:22 - Coinbase says no vpns</p> 1:00:09 - Mashinsky guilty plea</p> 1:08:15 - Marty failed Barstool</p> 1:11:07 - US officials encourage encrypted comms</p> 1:22:34 - Corp Transparency Act blocked</p> 1:27:22 - WBD relaunch</p> 1:29:40 - Get back to work</p> <br /></p> <br /></p> Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <br /></p> Unchained</p> https://unchained.com/concierge/</p> <br /></p> Coinkite</p> https://coinkite.com/</p> <br /></p> Stakwork</p> https://stakwork.ai/</p> <br /></p> <br /></p> TFTC Merch is Available:</p> <br /></p> Shop Now</p> https://merch.tftc.io/</p> <br /></p> <br /></p> Join the TFTC Movement:</p> <br /></p> Main YT Channel</p> https://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videos</p> <br /></p> Clips YT Channel</p> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQ</p> <br /></p> Website</p> https://tftc.io/</p> <br /></p> Twitter</p> https://twitter.com/tftc21</p> <br /></p> Instagram</p> https://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/</p> <br /></p> <br /></p> Follow Marty Bent:</p> <br /></p> Twitter</p> https://twitter.com/martybent</p> <br /></p> Newsletter</p> https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</p> <br /></p> Podcast</p> https://tftc.io/podcasts/</p> <br /></p> <br /></p> Follow Odell:</p> <br /></p> Nostr</p> https://primal.net/odell</p> <br /></p> Newsletter</p> https://discreetlog.com/</p> <br /></p> Podcast</p> https://citadeldispatch.com/</p>

Several press freedom organizations have condemned the arbitrary detention as an attack on free expression. This arrest is the latest addition to a series of repressive measures by the Sandinista regime, which has crushed independent media through shutdowns, exiles, intimidations, and persecutions.

It even requires users to submit personal details such as national identity card numbers and IP addresses. This crackdown erodes the privacy and freedoms VPNs offer, leaving citizens increasingly vulnerable to surveillance and control and stifling the flow of information. In a country where Internet disruptions and bans on platforms like X are commonplace, restricted VPN access could limit access to financial freedom tools like Bitcoin (which to some degree rely on access to on and off ramps like digital asset exchanges). The regime may further isolate Pakistanis from decentralized financial systems by tightening its grip on digital platforms and consolidating its control over information and financial activity.
