"Yesterday I tweeted about a #ChivoWallet privacy issue where the users' full legal name was being leaked in the LN invoice metadata. It appears to be fixed and what's in its place is "Thanks Matt Ahlborg" which I guess is to show that they saw my tweet. https://x.com/MattAhlborg/status/1435350678814302211s=20 The lightning invoices generated by Chivo contain the full legal name of the creator of the invoice. This to me seems like a privacy issue that should be dealt with. https://t.co/3z39s7NoCO https://x.com/MattAhlborg/status/1435350678814302211s=20 The lightning invoices generated by Chivo"

"Africa had another record setting week in P2P #Bitcoin markets. What's specifically notable to me now is the non-stop growth in CFA franc countries @gladstein's recent piece on monetary colonialism in the CFA system is highly relevant to this growth imo: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-a-currency-of-decolonization https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-a-currency-of-decolonization"

"@raudaz_ @ricardovalp Perhaps google translate didn't do it justice but the article seemed to be VERY negative. trying desperately to paint Bitcoin tourists as colonialists. I couldn't imagine burning down hope for my country just to defeat the 'other' political side. That's what I've read here"

"@IanTalley Any normie reading the article would assume that PIJ got many millions of $ via crypto. It is your job as a journalist to explain the nuances of the technology so they don't make that mistake. Instead you leaned into their ignorance so that you could push your slant. Retract"

"A lot of folks aren't gonna like this take but IMO his donations did provide cover for him for a time. It was crazy to see some of the pro-SBF takes come out of the woodwork when it was so obviously the other way. Only after the outrage on twitter became so pronounced did those political/media connections start to relent and accept that he was toast"
