As families struggled with a higher cost of living, officials passed an amendment granting law enforcement the power to freeze bank accounts suspected of fraud. Meanwhile, Malaysia’s parliament is passing two more bills to regulate media and online spaces, allowing officials to censor content and request user data from service providers without approval. Critics warn the vague language in these laws will likely be exploited to silence dissent and stifle public discourse. As financial hardships mount, Malaysia’s online spaces become increasingly controlled, eroding freedom of expression and financial autonomy.

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 - BDK Code Audit https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/_2024-q4-code-audit/ - Eclair v0.11.0: Official Bolt 12 Support, Splicing, Liquidity Ads & On-The-Fly Funding Prototypes https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/eclair-v0-11-0/ - Damus Notedeck Alpha Now Available to Purple Subscribers https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/damus-notedeck-v0-2-0/ - Coinbase says to not use VPNs https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/coinbase-asks-users-to-stop-using-vpns-and-ad-blockers/ - 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 - U.S. Officials Urge Americans to Use Encrypted Messaging Apps https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/u-s-officials-urge-americans-to-use-encrypted-messaging-apps/ - Corporate Transparency Act blocked nationwide by Texas judge https://news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-report/corporate-transparency-act-blocked-nationwide-by-texas-court - what bitcoin did relaunches - 1123 days, shoutout to yellow https://x.com/ICOffenderII/status/1864574706583547911 0:00 - Intro 3:52 - Let’s gooooooooo 11:57 - Bitstein video 16:30 - Trump says you’re welcome 18:15 - Shoutout to Yellow 20:29 - Dashboard 27:15 - Strike launches bill pay 30:47 - Putin bitcoin comment and BRICS talk 38:38 - Healthcare assassination 41:41 - HRF Story of the Week 43:34 - Boosts and Primal/Fountain talk 50:47 - Software updates 57:22 - Coinbase says no vpns 1:00:09 - Mashinsky guilty plea 1:08:15 - Marty failed Barstool 1:11:07 - US officials encourage encrypted comms 1:22:34 - Corp Transparency Act blocked 1:27:22 - WBD relaunch 1:29:40 - Get back to work Shoutout to our sponsors: Unchained https://unchained.com/concierge/ Coinkite https://coinkite.com/ Stakwork https://stakwork.ai/ TFTC Merch is Available: Shop Now https://merch.tftc.io/ Join the TFTC Movement: Main YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videos Clips YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQ Website https://tftc.io/ Twitter https://twitter.com/tftc21 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/ Follow Marty Bent: Twitter https://twitter.com/martybent Newsletter https://tftc.io/martys-bent/ Podcast https://tftc.io/podcasts/ Follow Odell: Nostr https://primal.net/odell Newsletter https://discreetlog.com/ Podcast https://citadeldispatch.com/

The regime loyalists deployed 20 officers and detained D’Anda at his home, confiscating his equipment before taking him to the notorious El Chipote prison. 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.

According to Netblocks, “the incident comes as the police force issues an alert over alleged opposition party plans to raid police stations where political prisoners might be held.” Tanzania has witnessed an unprecedented crackdown from security forces, who have detained hundreds of opposition party members, including the chairman of the Chadema party, Freeman Mbwoe, and his deputy, Tundu Lissu. Other prominent critics, including Deusdedith Soka and Dioniz Kipanya, disappeared, while Shadrack Chaula, a TikToker critical of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, remains missing. These actions undermine democratic processes and escalate the government’s efforts to stifle dissent and control information.

Binance is a peer-to-peer exchange popular with Venezuelans in search of US dollars, stablecoins, and Bitcoin to escape the regime’s ongoing devaluation of the bolívar. With Binance now inaccessible, many find themselves financially trapped and increasingly vulnerable in a country where 82% live in poverty and 53% live in extreme poverty. Alongside censoring Binance, Maduro has blocked access to social media platform X for 10 days, revoked passports arbitrarily, and detained over 2,000 activists, lawyers, opposition figures, and civilians protesting the fraudulent election results.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority plans to screen and approve state-compliant VPNs. While the government cites national security as a reason for this action, critics and digital rights activists argue that these measures enhance the regime’s ability to monitor and control internet activity. The impact of these restrictions extends beyond communication barriers. They can also impact access to financial services, for example, by cutting off access to alternative currencies like Bitcoin (which have provided a liferaft for many Pakistanis but which was restricted in 2018). These policies contribute to a troubling pattern of digital and financial repression for the 235 million Pakistanis living under a hybrid authoritarian regime. Similar measures have been observed in China and Iran, where the regimes exert internet controls to suppress dissent and maintain their power.

The first law legalizes cryptocurrency mining, and the second establishes an experimental framework for cross-border digital currency transactions. But these laws hint at troubling implications. While the first law permits mining, it confines it to mining entities registered with the Ministry of Digital Development and grants executive supervisory powers to the Central Bank of Russia. It also includes a ban on digital asset advertising. The second law, effective September 2024, mandates that all digital asset platforms obtain licenses from the central bank, which will oversee and collect detailed transaction data. HRF’s nonprofit Bitcoin adoption lead, Anna Chekhovich, warns that these laws place Bitcoin miners and exchanges under the control of the Central Bank while monitoring and targeting activists and nonprofit organizations that rely on digital assets like Bitcoin. Putin is consolidating control over digital assets while undermining financial freedom in Russia and moving forward with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

Al-Ghamdi was then held in solitary confinement for months and was refused proper care despite suffering from epilepsy. Similarly, his brother, Mohammed Al-Ghamdi, was convicted in 2023 over tweets linked to an anonymous Twitter account that criticized the regime’s economic policies and called for the release of political prisoners. For this, he was sentenced to death. Both of these sentences are part of Saudi Arabia’s repression of free expression and stifling of civil society, as evidenced by the regime going so far as to target dissidents' families to force compliance. HRF has called for the Al-Ghamdi brothers' immediate release and access to necessary medical care.

Her crime? Making a $51.80 donation to a pro-Ukraine charity is deemed an act of treason under Russian law. Her trial will be held in August. If found guilty, she faces a potential 20-year prison sentence. Karelina’s case illustrates the severe measures dictator Vladimir Putin enforces against any form of financial aid, even modest amounts, to opposition movements. It highlights why Russian human rights groups like the Anti-Corruption Foundation have found it useful to receive payments in Bitcoin to help protect the identities of their donors. - FinancialFreedomReport.org - Coldcard MK4 v5.3.2 and Q v1.2.2 https://coldcard.com/docs/upgrade/#shared-improvements-mk4-and-q - Phoenix Wallet Android v2.2.4, iOS v2.2.6 Released https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/phoenix-wallet-android-v2-2-4-ios-v2-2-6-released/ - BitAxe Supra: 4th Major Revision with BM1368 ASIC from Antminer S21 https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bitaxe-supra/ 2:52 - Assange is free 18:37 - Fedimint DNS issue 35:29 - Message from Stak 36:46 - OpenSats grants 38:49 - Strike UK and no fee DCA 39:49 - HRF STORY OF THE WEEK 43:49 - Boosts 57:36 - Software updates 1:02:44 - Presidential debate Shoutout to our sponsors: Unchained Capital https://unchained.com/concierge/ Coinkite https://coinkite.com/ TFTC Merch is Available: Shop Now https://merch.tftc.io/ Join the TFTC Movement: Main YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videos Clips YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQ Website https://tftc.io/ Twitter https://twitter.com/tftc21 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/ Follow Marty Bent: Twitter https://twitter.com/martybent Newsletter https://tftc.io/martys-bent/ Podcast https://tftc.io/podcasts/ Follow Odell: Twitter https://twitter.com/ODELL Newsletter https://tftc.io/the-sat-standard/ Podcast https://citadeldispatch.com/
