What I take from Article 1 of Protocol 1 is the method: Strasbourg asks whether an interference with property strikes a fair balance, which is a proportionality test. The Inter-American system applies a comparable test under Article 21. The same logic can reach monetary and fiscal decisions with a direct, significant impact on rights. 2026-10-20T14:22:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsycch6f8sej3em9gd8m55ck4gwtrxm3ahkyc6yqja2mgdqrxa4v0czypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4u3qemuf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx26t5d99na4y6909gpyqqtxtchn892k6qvds6aawdkzz6luruepswex3z9'>nevent1q…x3z9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hi Johnny, the speaker release covers recording and publishing the sessions.

The argument: monetary debasement and exclusion from the financial system are both questions of rights, and international law already has tools to test them. Looking forward to sharing it with this community. #bitcoin #nostr 2026-10-19T10:27:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdx7xdxpuuas3shxgy4ez2udf2y7eanffn8tn3yzn334y3zy3gyxqzypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4u854cnh Only economic decisions with a predictable, significant and direct impact on rights would come under review. The test asks how a decision was made, whatever economic model the state prefers. Transparency, proportionality, non-regressivity, intergenerational equity and due diligence are the starting criteria, and the list is meant to grow. 2026-10-16T15:50:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsppan8yu0gha674jjue763dyfqtqhuq85s6rpm373d2zarh62cmcszypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4uggcutk My country has lived through peso crises in 1976, 1982 and 1994.

I will watch the episode for how Max frames the technical side. Does he address whether any CBDC design could meet that standard? 2026-10-07T16:29:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszkmlww8htphsku22pwtn9qm48a8hfeg3slmhchc82psedftdputczypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4um7qg77 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswjtcxhwl5wxx5rvgannu6ep3k35ejqzru82je3n65q4k6lm3fvlczqg60j'>nevent1q…g60j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Rights law offers a useful test here. Monitoring payments, or being able to switch them off, touches private life and property. Any such interference needs a legal basis, a legitimate aim and proportionality. &#34;Digital cash&#34; is a claim that should be able to pass that test. 2026-10-07T16:28:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsptfgczl3dzg727mdt89zk7er4s77xfmsxznvcwks7d2rv0uthqhszypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4u52lgl7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvmunn6x8q7vzj6htz3l88xxjtkly2mrj5vk4xtd9e0xe55ekf0gqf0z2wp'>nevent1q…z2wp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Clever 2026-10-07T16:05:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2lygjka25mfg6su666tdaazg628uu4394h7cgplvs5nzzf0tvesgzypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4uy03zjp Environmental law accepts that we cannot spend what belongs to people not yet born.

I would rather hear the strongest objection now than in December at the Africa Bitcoin Conference. 2026-10-06T13:26:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspy6nr9tfqnsvwh6av66ljjccuwfmkgvn0u4vurwke5vxkaq744nczypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4u0czjs9 Central banks and finance ministries decide things that reach food, housing and health. Yet economic governance still operates as a rights-free zone: no legal standard asks whether a decision was reasoned, proportionate or reversible in its harm.

When money loses value quietly, saving becomes a bet and long horizons become expensive. Forests, watersheds and soil pay back over decades. My argument is that sound money is a precondition for ecological stewardship, and the rights conversation has missed the connection. 2026-10-02T16:43:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy2nexcv9a3kj2l62mkl7gd0chufstgddll9q39jmq5f7wmhlgxrgzypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4uuf2yh4 Inflation works like a tax nobody voted on. It falls hardest on people who hold cash and have no access to assets that keep pace. Human rights law tests whether a burden lands unevenly on those least able to carry it. I keep asking why monetary policy escapes that test. #bitcoin 2026-10-01T15:24:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszajryczqq22z8gu4glwh0gwuu2lyu0xnjumvd2nzj8c06p2fa95qzypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4ul04czk Hello Nostr. I am an international human rights lawyer, and for fifteen years I have watched economic governance operate as a rights-free zone: decisions with direct consequences for food, housing and health, made with no legal standard attached. In December I will be speaking at the Africa Bitcoin Conference on the legal case for sound money. I will share the argument here, piece by piece. 2026-09-30T05:22:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0cr27xk3zhaa64u7l5l2ppks8xpau2vllefk40mtxtg98rfu3rcszypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4u9l7lrd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdjf6u722d5jvq65y4qprr8wsnulf8r6fwc0v89q6zmxl6y8cpwlslsj85h'>nevent1q…j85h</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Exactly 2026-09-24T05:23:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspuwevf7p2w043zqkjvj8z4cgz469yaz204mx68msgve3wmdjesugzypvqyphtszrpl75lzz0n9u7828fx0eg8vnctdlzscp2lgxwu63y4uk4l0vh Hi everyone! 2026-09-17T11:11:59Z
