Mr. Bitcoin and Mr. Monero stand outside the Federal Reserve Bank and say fiat money is a scam.
The Shire Free Church, in cooperation with support from the Free State and Shire readers like you, is pleased to present the adventures of “Mr. Bitcoin & Friends” to educate and entertain children — or those of you that act like children — about Bitcoin. You can always visit https://mrbitcoinandfriends.com or my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@TJTheSpy to see more show concept art and videos.
Bitcoin (BTC) is a mathematical, peer-to-peer, open-source digital cryptocurrency that is not backed or owned by any government, corporation, or legal entity. Bitcoin is pure math and computer code running on the internet, making it difficult or impossible for anyone (including governments acting on behalf of their money printing central bankers) to stop, shut down, or control. Bitcoin is a new solution to a real and and growing problem in the world: In what way do you keep your savings (in government fiat currency) from being destroyed by inflation? A way that is digital, online, and decentralized. A way that is free of “annual storage fees” and “currency conversion fees” because you sent your money across an imaginary line called a “border.” A way that is voluntary and free-market. Satoshi Nakimoto, our prophet, came and showed us such a way: The way of Bitcoin.
Secret Agent Monero can only be seen if you know his secret “Viewing Key”
After reading Dave Ridley’s article about AI obliterating New Hampshire, I decided to take this opportunity to explore ChatGPT’s 4.0 and Google’s Veo 3 engines. All the images and videos in this post are AI generated. I am a mathematician and computer engineer by training. Drawing was something I never practiced and I have no natural proclivity in that skillset. But with AI, I can draw comic book characters like Mr. Bitcoin and his friend Secret Agent Monero who fight together to battle the inflation monster. I don’t need to have any skills in 3D rendering, or video editing, or Photoshop. With AI, I can use text prompts and images to generate amazing things like this short 8-second video:

Mama Maria’s Gyros Opens In Keene
Mama Maria’s Gyros and More opened this week In Keene, New Hampshire. Mama Maria & her food truck is permanently situated at 85 Emerald Street and will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11am – 3pm and from 5pm – 8pm.
When I inquired about the unusual hours Mama Maria stated that she was following a trend in downtown Keene. Apparently many restaurants are now closing during the day and re-opening in the evenings.
Mama Maria’s adds to the growing list of convenience stores, restaurants, dentists, doctors, and other establishments taking cryptocurrencies in Keene, New Hampshire. Over the past decade many new businesses have come onboard with accepting cryptocurrencies and goldbacks. Despite a rocky handful of years with various restaurants and other businesses going under due to governmental policies and restrictions on operating Keene has remained a tiny bastion of freedom and peace when it comes to businesses taking non-government pro-peace currencies.

After a thorough review of the court transcript independent and renowned lawyer Jacob Hornberger speaks out on the travesty of the prosecution of Ian Freeman
Renowned lawyer Jacob Horberger, founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF) attended the Free State Project’s Porcupine Freedom Festival this summer to present a speech on his legal analysis of the Ian Freeman case.
Ian Freeman was arrested in 2021 for the ‘crime’ of selling Bitcoin. In spite of the legal advise, few vending machines operated by him and the Shire Free Church, a complete lack of evidence connecting Ian to the supposed crimes, and more a prejudicial jury found Ian Freeman guilty on 8 counts and 4 charges. These included: Unlicensed money transmission, money laundering, conspiracy to launder, and 4 counts of tax evasion (one for each year of the federal government’s investigation).
Under cross examination the governments leading witness testified that she couldn’t confirm that Ian Freeman owed anything at all. Taxes that is.

Free Ian Rally Jan 16th, 10 AM, 2025 @ Concord Statehouse
Join us for a Free Ian rally Jan 16th @ 10AM in Concord, NH where we’ll be advocating for the pardoning of Ian Freeman, a man wrongfully convicted of victimless crimes and crimes he didn’t even technically commit. Ian has been fighting for peace, liberty, and freedom for decades, including our financial freedom.
This event aims to raise awareness about the injustices he’s facing for speaking up against the status quo. He’s been attacked for his activism and been rung through the ringer multiple times over the years because of one FBI agent (Phil Christiana) with an agenda against the Free State Project and it’s most significant proponent: Ian Freeman.

An important message from the Free Ian Now team:
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share an urgent update about my friend, Ian Freeman, a dedicated advocate for Bitcoin, who is fighting to reunite with his family after being wrongfully imprisoned.
Ian’s journey has been a heartbreaking one. He was sentenced to eight years in prison for operating a Bitcoin exchange, but the charges against him are deeply flawed. Rather than being a criminal, Ian has been a pioneer in promoting financial independence through cryptocurrency. His prosecution raises alarming questions about government overreach and the rights of innovators—issues that affect us all.

Free Talk Live host and Shire Free Church minister Zephan Wood began holding sermons at his house three months ago. Crowds have gathered at each event to listen to the sermons and then stay for hours after to discuss everything from cryptocurrency use as a religious practice (the main topic of the sermons) to consciousness, religion and DMT trips. The conversations usually start around his sermon and evolve through out the night, set around a fire.
Most of the attendees have been Free Staters but some have been locals invited out. It is very nice to see a Shire Free Church minister taking up a mission on their own to spread the ideas of peace. My own experience at these events has been welcoming, inspiring and mind-expanding. Conversation among like-minded and non-judgmental people is one of the most important activities for a community.
