The roots of this crisis run deep. Former tyrant Robert Mugabe’s land seizures in the early 2000s shattered agricultural output, wiped out foreign investment, and unleashed hyperinflation that erased Zimbabweans’ savings and wages. Decades of economic mismanagement drained the national resources and exacerbated food insecurity. Now, ordinary citizens shoulder the cost of regime failures. Families who once farmed their own land depend on expensive food imports they can’t afford, while the bankrupt regime pleads for more dollar-based loans — only to weaken the local currency and sink the country further into debt.- Fountain App v1.1.16: Nostr Live Streams & Storage Manager https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/fountain-v1-1-16/- COLDCARD EDGE Release: Versions 6.3.5X (Mk4) and 6.3.5QX (Q) https://blog.coinkite.com/edge-635/- Bisq v1.9.19 & Bisq2 v2.1.6: Updates and Security Improvements https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bisq-v1-9-19-bisq2-v2-1-6/- Alby Hub v1.14.2: Basic Swap Functionality, Home Widgets & More https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/alby-hub-v1-14-2/0:00 - Intro3:05 - Opening riff6:50 - Trump & New Tech cabal20:45 - Dashboard22:18 - FLD on NASDAQ25:45 - Is Jack Satoshi?32:59 - Grants37:53 - Milei’s scam46:21 - Unbank Voltage52:09 - Trump banning congestion pricing56:47 - Nigeria Gambaryan deal1:00:16 - Fort Knox1:06:26 - iOS security patch1:06:58 - HRF Story of the Week1:12:58 - Boost1:13:09 - Software updates1:18:32 - AI is ruining RHR1:22:26 - Reorg shillShoutout to our sponsors:Unchainedhttps://unchained.com/rhr/Bitkeyhttps://bitkey.world/Stakworkhttps://stakwork.ai/Coinkitehttps://coinkite.com/TFTC Merch is Available:Shop Nowhttps://merch.tftc.io/Join the TFTC Movement:Main YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videosClips YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQWebsitehttps://tftc.io/Twitterhttps://twitter.com/tftc21Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/Follow Marty Bent:Twitterhttps://twitter.com/martybentNewsletterhttps://tftc.io/martys-bent/Podcasthttps://tftc.io/podcasts/Follow Odell:Nostrhttps://primal.net/odellNewsletterhttps://discreetlog.com/Podcasthttps://citadeldispatch.com/

The reform follows a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that wanted to limit the government’s, citizens’, and economies’ exposure to Bitcoin. Salvadoran lawmaker Elisa Rosales said the latest reform guarantees Bitcoin’s “permanence as legal tender” while facilitating its “practical implementation.” But, John Dennehy, founder of the civil society organization Mi Primer Bitcoin, explained that the reform removed “all references of bitcoin as money or legal tender, plus the actual conditions, such as the government accepting bitcoin for things such as taxes, are now prohibited.” The future of freedom technology in El Salvador will be worth monitoring closely as the regime continues to erode protections on civil liberties.

The regime recently increased the rial’s official exchange rate from 550,000 to 640,000 rial per dollar — a move Samsami explained “was to sell the $5 billion it had taken from the National Development Fund at the highest price.” By manipulating the exchange rate, the regime effectively stole one quadrillion rials ($23 billion) from citizens. This deliberate devaluation will drive up inflation, deplete savings, and push basic goods further out of reach. Iran’s multi-tiered exchange rate system has long fueled corruption, allowing regime insiders to profit from the gap between the artificially low official exchange rate and the higher free-market rate. To block any financial escape, the regime has tried to close onramps to Bitcoin.
