IMO, Bitcoin is much stronger when hodlers are Christians. We need Christians and Christ, and Christians need BTC.


Soon, the present value calculation, which is the foundation of the field of finance, will be turned on its head. Instead of discounting future inflation, it will have to discount future deflation.

When all of the value is stored in the money, everything else loses value over time - the amortization schedule moves from accounting to finance. Amortization won't just be a lie to get out of taxes - it will be useful to people who need true information.

What dividend beats the rate of deflation?
Doesn't F'n matter, that's what.

What cash flow beats amortization?
That's what will matter. It will be less every period.

How do you value equities in a deflationary environment?
My answer could get me a PhD. If that wasn't a waste of time...
Cuz time is only thing that grows in value faster than #Bitcoin

And that will still be true after its fully bootstrapped in 120 years, when its fully monetized, when the singularity is taught in social studies classes, when #Cypherpunks rule the Citadels and the Seasteads and Space and the center of hash is moving closer to the center of the solar system.

And I have to cut this off cuz I gotta go poo...

I've seen that map, and yeah its fascinating. At the time, I was curious about the Alemannic areas of France and Germany. Speaking of, both France and Germany (or Prussia) have a history of using public schools to stamp out regional dialects - a shameful use of public schooling, IMO. But that's what centralized government does... And you can see it happening in China right now, as they replace the hundreds of mutually unintelligible languages ("dialects" is a lie) with Mandarin. And I'd bet if the EU continues, at some point they'll try to implement a common language for Europe.


Well, that's one solution, haha


I like that quote. Having a unique language certainly makes it difficult for far away people to rule you.


Education should be restructured around coding, design, and shooting. All learning should involve hands-on activities.

Kids should never be required to stay at school - if the teaching is so bad that they want out, let them go and fire the boring teachers.

I used to teach. Probably will again. Still think about it every day.


As a former teacher... Yes, our education is appalling. And TIL full stop = period

Do you have a different word for decimal points? I was just reminded of how the Chinese use "dian" in both cases.


Linguists have found that the rate of change in English English has been greater than in American English. So it's possible that you guys said 'period' at some point in the past too. Or not... I ain't bothering to search dat

Overproduction of elites

These ideas... I haven't read the book, so maybe this is covered, but I just thought of something.

Europe went through a prolonged period of strife, from the French revolution to the 1848 revolutions to the world wars, during the same time that the surplus of elites moved to America.

Little factoid : about 25% of the population of the US has aristocratic ancestry - because 2nd sons went to America to seek their fortune.

These migrations happened in waves, starting in Britain, then France, then Germany, then Italy and the rest. (With a little outlier, Dubrovnik/Ragusa going ahead of the rest, due to their trading colonies).

Well, look what happened - first the French Revolution, then the 1848 revolutions, which did a number on the German states, then socialism in Italy, which then became German socialism vs Russian socialism. The waves correspond.

Conclusion : the elites serve a function. They're not overproduced - they're under utilized.

Idea... Builders needed...

I just heard about "open tickets" in a podcast - a plane ticket to anywhere. I love this concept. But I suppose they have a time limit, and besides, an airline or government could simply decide not to honor them.

Could we build an anonymous open ticket system on bitcoin? I'm imagining that you could build a business on selling open tickets that are standardized by a protocol, so they could be redeemed at any business that honors them, which would probably be the same businesses that mint them. Perhaps make batches of millions of open tickets and compress the data as a jpeg or something and put it into a block, which then can be looked up and unzipped if you know which block its in.

Sorry, my hacker vocab is probably not quite right - I'm quite new to the wonderful world of building stuff.

There would probably be a supply/demand mismatch, analogous to reserve banking or insurance, by which I mean you could predict the rate of redemption, which I bring up because I think the buyer would have to pay up front (probably at a hefty premium) and then the cost to the business comes at an unknown time in the future. There would be a predictable throughput, so that unknown is manageable.

This idea has me thinking a lot about anonymous infrastructure. We might need to rethink the whole transportation network to have anonymity by default.

And just as I thought I was done, more ideas came to me... Anonymous and open plane tickets could serve dual purposes. Why not also make them stock certificates? Or bearer bonds? You hold the keys, the certificate only needs a string or two of data, and while you hold it, you receive the benefits of dividend/coupon/voting rights, and those benefits are burned upon usage... As an open ticket to anywhere, anonymously.

A vision of my dream world has appeared to me. Freedom is built upon privacy and unimpeded movement.

Realization:

God is proud of you.

...even if you're just normal.

You can be nothing and you're still a work of art.

But... Look around at the natural world. Everything eats to survive. I used to think, "what horror! Every living thing is a victim!" But that's not why we eat - we living things, we eat because we're proud of ourselves. We're proud of ourselves because its good to be proud of ourselves. I'm not talking about the same kind of pride, that comes before the fall. That's erroneous pride - the fall is correction, and the destruction of error is virtuous. But the pride of life, of self perpetuation and experimentation, is the same pride God has for his creation. Everything eats for the sake of itself, for the pride in itself, as any creator would will it.

Imagine, you create the most beautiful thing in the world, infinitely complex in infinite layers, a living fractal, adhering to underlying principles at every level, while never repeating a pattern already used at a different level, interlocking and mutating like an 11dimensional Rubik's cube, and every pattern expressed in it a hierarchically deterministic sequence - like a Bitcoin address, but a quadrillion times more unique... This description only approximates the complexity involved in moving from a few amino acids to a polypeptide - multiply that again by a universe or two to get the complexity of a whole animal. And you created it, as we're imagining. Of course you're proud of it.

Then imagine that, because of a lack of pride in itself, that creation let itself die. It could have survived, and even made its own creations, furthering the wonder of wonder, but it didn't because it didn't even try.

Some people would say, this is where natural selection comes in, and the organism that pursues its own survival will be selected by natural selection. That may be true, if we must hold to a purposeless, random, unvirtuous, and strictly Newtonian worldview (Newton would object to this abuse). But we don't have to hold such a view. That view is irrational simply because other viewpoints exist - in a choice or purpose agnostic frame, you could fall upon another metaphysic just as easily, so such frames are disqualified from exclusivity. Another viewpoint could be that a higher quality, more beautiful and more durable thing is superior to its components, and as an organizing principle, this means that lower quality things want to be higher quality things. And another viewpoint could be that a creator creates on purpose, so it is unvirtuous for a created thing to uncreate itself.

This is why I reject the selfish gene hypothesis. It could be true, but there are other explanations. I can't personally relate to pure randomness. But I can understand pride for the thing you've made, and that that same pride would need to be imbued in the created thing, like a second derivative of divine logos, for the first pride or first derivative not to fall into disappointment.

So... God wills hedonism.

Go forth and be merry and multiply and subdue the Earth. The virtue of being is to grow and ascend and conquer limitations.

The ego is not the cause, nor is it the observer. The ego is the gremlin guarding the thought, agnostic of truth or error.

Virtue is built on truth ; vice is built on falsity.

Happiness is desirable if it can be maintained ; happiness is undesirable if its maintenance is unsustainable.

Truth endures ; falsehood destroys.

Happiness built on truth is sustainable.

But neither truth, nor happiness, are causes. Truth can grow out of happiness and happiness can grow out of truth, but neither can be causes.

For now, my conclusion is that the root cause in the question of free will is the action, the momentum of your life. Maybe I'll edit this note when I've had some more thoughts and whipped my ego a little harder.

Art de vivre. Schwa de vivre. New words for me... I love them.

Once upon a time, I had my own art de vivre - in the old part of a city, tree lined streets and cafes with inviting courtyards, comedy clubs and salsa clubs alive in the evenings, rooftop bars, and the ocean in view. Everything I needed... Except the right to stay.

But I can imagine a thousand different art de vivre. A hayride through a pumpkin patch... A smoke filled Iroquois long house... A sail boat through the great lakes and the canals before heading south... A kendo match between school rivals.

Its a rolling with things, almost lazily, but deeply involved with the seriousness of the present moment. Its flow without purpose, an oblivious hedonism for a pocket universe that exists for its own sake. The world be damned.

Someday, I'm going to return to my art de vivre, and I'll never come out of it.

The ego is a liar and a thief. It lies to you, then lies to everyone in an attempt to find accomplices. It steals your time and attention. It promises the world, but never delivers.

Run from ego. If you see it in others, run from it. If you see it in an organization, run and don't look back. Don't try to destroy your ego or egoic things - that would only shift ego from one place to another, and do nothing to diminish it in total. Just get away. It feeds on attention.


Power is the ability to move something, or create change. When water moves across a water wheel, the amount of push captured by the wheel is a quantifiable power. The bigger the wheel, the more power it can harness. The weak and the dumb want to cut up the big wheels and make small wheels, so everyone can have equal power. But the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and this can be proven empirically with water wheels. The strong build the biggest water wheel they can and use all of the power harnessed however they see fit. The proper use of small wheels is to destroy them and replace them with big wheels, which harness more power. Big wheels harness quantitavely more power, but the merit of a big wheel vs a small wheel is qualitative. More power is proper and good ; less power is shameful and disgusting. Anyone wanting to chop up big wheels to make small wheels is unnatural, deformed in spirit and virtue.

K, can't take the vibe any further. You can use it if its good.

I attended a virtual job fair for some jobs in a very left leaning state. This particular state makes a very big deal about friendliness and generosity - they even have a special word for it, which they also use as a greeting. But I noticed a difference in demeanor between the participants : the employers and applicants from this supposedly friendly state seemed agitated, like they had an axe to grind ; the people from other states, and a few from other nation states, seemed happy and relaxed, even though we were essentially competitors.

Maybe it was just my imagination... But I suspect these leftist states are just one spark away from something terrible.


Democracy is strangling the world.

The reason the US exports democratic ideals, is because no state can rise above the division of its special interest groups.

There are some Freemason YouTube channels that explain their symbolism. My impression is they're not saturnian, but more jovian, to continue in that symbolic frame. They seem obsessed with early Jewish history, like the time of the Exodus to the destruction of Solomon's temple, and they interpret the temple and its destruction symbolically. I'd say its a repeating pattern of falling from grace - expulsion from Eden, the Exodus, destruction of the Temple. I'd add the state takeover of Christianity as another iteration of the fall, but I don't know whether the masons would agree. I'll ask them if I ever meet one in real life. Oh, to explain why I said "jovian" above - Christ is symbolically very jovian, as the prince of peace overcoming the chaotic and brutal and sacrifice demanding gods. Bitcoin is very jovian, too. Check out the alchemical symbol of Jupiter.

In my ideal world, every man has property - true property, not taxed - and people know their neighbors and are willing and able to fend off outsiders who come with their criminal schemes under the guise of "democracy" or any other bullshit ideology or moral camouflage.


Talking about God, man... basically.


Eh. I've done my own investigation into the Freemasons and I concluded that they're just pious dudes who need more than what church gives them. The reason there's masonic symbols on the money is really just history - most founding fathers of the US were masons, all the tea party dress up crew were masons, and the associations of those symbols with illuminati came after the illuminati disbanded.

IMO, this guy has a point, but he points at the wrong people.


Exactly. Now the next step - if you understand that you know nothing, and can never know anything, then what's your relationship with Truth? And how do you live in Truth? Pride ; or humility? Slay your ego. Your ego is as pointless as anyone taking you seriously.


Bitcoin makes violence pointless. If violence is pointless, then so are vehement arguments. Bringing strong language into a setting where we're all celebrating the liberation that Bitcoin brings is a step backwards. Our role in ending pointless and evil violence (violence for self defense is good) is to bring bitcoin to everyone. I hope you see this and choose words more carefully.


Not sure what the context was, but that's correct. Pointless, like any philosophical argument, but in and of itself, true. The only true thing you really can know on this side of the separation from God is that you know nothing.

GM. I felt a stirring in the Force... Somewhere, a lot of people are discovering my favorite thing. I wish I could tell them, beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.


Found this nugget while double checking my understanding of Saturnian symbolism. In retrospect, it seems to have been correct.

Bitcoin synthesizes the right and left-hand paths. In that sense, it can be a model for personal development.

The greatest teachers and healers in history exhibited a similar synthesis - think of Jung, Cagliostro, and my namesake, Saint Germain, to name a few.

The right-hand path is planned and ordered and palatable to the NPCs. The left-hand path is rebellious, charismatic, and unpredictable.

Jupiter surpasses Saturn not by defeat and expulsion, but by encompassing and mastering Saturnian qualities, and thereby transcending them.

Good observation. People don't use that phrase anymore for a reason. I'm barely old enough to remember hearing that phrase, and I haven't heard it at least 20 yrs.


Exodus 3:22 "but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and every woman who lives in her house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So shall you plunder the Egyptians."

So much to say about this verse, and how it applies to the modern context of Bitcoin. Yes, Bitcoin, it fits so perfectly. Its almost like it was written so we would see it...

First notice that they asked, they did not simply take, and God turned the Egyptians' hearts so they gave whatever was asked for. Putting your trust in God is the same as trusting in truth, and therefore, pursuing truth is pursuit of God (whether you know it or not). Truth turns hearts. The people that left Egypt had been brutally persecuted - their sons had been murdered. But when they were allowed to leave, they took all the treasure they could carry. Considering what they had been through, you can hardly say it was ill gotten.

What have we been through? If you understand the evils perpetrated by central banking - the wars, the confiscated wealth, the destruction of the middle class - and understand that central banking is a grand expression of hubris and selfishness and is basically the economic manifestation of the enslavement to sin - then I think the parallells between us, the global disenfranchised bottom wrung, and the enslaved Jews in Egypt are huge. The parallels are huge. We reject slavery, but we're in a land of unrighteousness. We call them "Normies" but in the past they were called "pagans" and "idolaters." Their mindset is the same, and our mindset is the same now as in the past - we want freedom. Economic freedom comes AFTER freedom from the disease and slavery of sin.

Furthermore, in Exodus 3:22 they plundered the things that had VALUE. Gold and silver had monetary value, but the verse makes it clear that the gold and silver are not the value itself because they also take clothes. It links value and utility. When value and utility are linked, you can see that money is not value. Money transmits value. The value of a thing is context dependent. Thus, understanding this verse requires an understanding that there is no such thing as "intrinsic value." I'm telling ya, it was written for us...

Furthermore again, it implies the question of "what is value and what should we do with value when we find it?" Take it! Plunder it. I don't mean steal money - I mean, when you find VALUE, you should appropriate it. Why did Europe experience a Renaissance? Because of two things that happened simultaneously - the rediscovery of monetary transmission of value in the form of standardized weights of gold in coins (the gold Floren) AND the rediscovery of pre-Christian philosophy, and seeing the value of Plato and correlating it with Christianity to produce Neo Platonism. They took value where they found it. Even though it was pagan, it was valuable, and anything that is valuable and TRUE should belong to YOU. This is not theft - its building. We build upon the rocks, not the sand. We know that what we've found and built upon is valuable because people want it and are willing to pay for it. The Renaissance lit a fire in the minds of Europe, and we're doing it again.

Plunder Egypt.

Did you receive a $1,200 stimulus check back in April 2020?

You could have bought 0.13909818 #Bitcoin with that check back then.

Today 0.13909818 Bitcoin is worth $9,737.

The $1,200 from back then has the value of $950 today.

Maybe you should get off zero and buy Bitcoin.

Freedom is not permission to do what you want; it's the power to do what you ought.

Quoting a podcast, which was quoting a famous person, who's name I missed.


4 days ago, I broke my little finger. Today, the bone is healed. The cut part is still raw, but the bone, which was visible, is healed and no longer painful.

When you make a conscious effort to heal, using both diet and mentality, you can. I'm sure it helped a lot that I was already trying to heal something else.


Those chairs look uncomfy


Oh this is good. Boosting, and keeping for a future class


I love how Nostr simply doesn't censor me. I know, that's the point. But when you've watched your comments on other platforms disappear right in front of you for several years (YouTube is the worst), its really meaningful to be able to speak.

Hopefully the execs of those other platforms face justice someday. Censorship is a crime against humanity, even if the written law no longer respects human rights.

Now, if only I wasn't speaking into an empty void...


Question - the design of Nostr sounds great - databases relaying notes. But those databases could be on the same server. What about physical decentralization? Is there anything incentivizing the physical separation of the relays? Could I run a relay out of my StartOS home server (which I barely understand, but am enthusiastic about regardless)?


A cute and easily digestible beginners guide to nostr. Perfect for first timers (n)ostriches. Includes audio link to follow along with the article.

## Welcome to Nostr!
**Introduction.**
Is this your first time here in Nostr? Welcome! Nostr has a oddball acronym for "**N**otes and **O**ther **S**tuff **T**ransmitted by **R**elays" with a simple goal, to be censorship-resistance. An alternative to traditional social media, communications, blogging, streaming, podcasting and eventually email (*in development*) with decentralization that empowers you, dear user. No more will you have to be plagued by ads, held by centralized entities and data hungry algorithms that monetizes you.

Allow me to be your host! I'm **Onigirl!** I'm on a quest to explore the world of Nostr, a decentralized communication protocol. I write about the tools, and the *awesome* developers within Nostr that bring this realm roaring with life.

![](https://image.nostr.build/130e25ce8e83136e69732b6b37e503541fbd82b7598d58ba64e504e19402d297.jpg)

### Welcome to Nostr Wonderland
You're about to step into another world that will explode your mind from all the decentralized apps, clients, web3 enabled sites that you can use. You're never going to look at communications, logging in, 2FA, and social media the same way ever again. All thanks to Nostr's cryptographic nature inspired by Bitcoin blockchain technology. Each user, when they create a Nostr account, they get two keys, a private and a public key. These are your keys to your very own kingdom. Whatever you write, sing, podcast, stream, anything you create --all of it belongs to you. The sky is literally the limit!

![](https://image.nostr.build/6f262291ddd72e45350d360f6e45fc9dd38740074de000ff4e48924bb838bf9c.jpg)

### A Gold and Silver Key
A friend of mine and I, call this "**Identity by Encryption**" because your Identity is encrypted. You can share your ***silver key***, "***npub***" to other users to connect and follow. Use your ***gold key,*** "***nsec***" to unlock your account to plugin into a plethora of applications. Keep this key safe at all times. **There is no reason to be caged ever again by social platforms TOS henceforth!**

👉Give it a whirl, you can follow me by *copying and pasting my public key* into your search bar on any client that you decide to use.

### Don't have a client yet? Select the best option
Find the right App for you! This is where you can use your gold key, "**nsec**" to login into these wonderful tools. You can also visit Nostr's app [page here.](https://www.nostrapps.com/) Before you start pasting your gold key everywhere on apps, consider using a signers (for web3 enabled sites) please look at the next image for details, also refer to the legend.

![](https://image.nostr.build/0db9d3efe15c3a02d40c3a5e65e7f6a64d50c6738dfe83c37330194d1b85059f.jpg)

### Get a Signer extension via chrome webstore
A signer is an extension in the chrome webstore on Google. *Nos2x* and *NostrConnect* are widely accepted extension for logins. This simplifies the process of logging into web3 sites instead of copying and pasting your gold key, "nsec" each and every time, you keep it within the extension and give it permission(s) to sign you in.

### 👉⚡⚡Get a Bitcoin lightning wallet to send/receive Zaps⚡⚡ (This is optional)

Here on Nostr, we use the Bitcoin Lightning network (L2). You will need to get a lightning wallet in order to send/receive Satoshi. These are the smallest denominations of a Bitcoin. It is a one hundred millionth of a single bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC). Zaps are a form of "micropayment with sats" here on Nostr. If you enjoy a user content, it is the norm to **"⚡zap⚡"** a.k.a **"tip"** for their content. For example, If you like my content, you can zap me with SATs to reward my work. But you just arrived, you don't have a wallet yet. No worries! I got you covered!

"[Stacker.News](https://stacker.news/r/Hamstr)" is a platform where users can earn SATs by writing articles and engaging with other users. You.

![](https://image.nostr.build/91198aba183890b479629ee346ba1aa3c9565ab863c665d91d24b0260917a131.jpg)

👉Stacker.News is also the easiest place to get a Bitcoin Lighting wallet address.

1. Log in with your "Signer" extension either "Nos2x or NostrConnect" click your **profile** which will be random letters and numbers in the upper right corner.
You will see something like this:
 ![](https://image.nostr.build/9d03196a588fc2936538803ae27a2cf057b1efaf4eff5558b9612b9fabc7bd31.png)
2. Click **"edit"**
and choose a name that you like, and if you don't like it. You can change again later.
![](https://image.nostr.build/34e9b0088dd5c12d4b9893e7818f0bee59f918699103ec0c45c01c384eb94164.jpg)
3. Click **"save"**
4. Create a bio and the SN community are very welcoming and will zap you some sats to welcome you.
5. You new Bitcoin Lightning Wallet address will appear like this:
![](https://image.nostr.build/8a3f373cedcebd967aef3ba0fba1504446f3e2b4bb497f7405a05ef3e145aca2.png)
   #### ^^**Do not zap this address; this is purely for educational purposes!**
6. With your **New** Bitcoin Lightning wallet address you can put this into any client or app of your choice. To do this, go to your **profile page** and under your wallet address under "**LN Address,**" enter your new address and hit **"save"** and there ya go. Congratulations!

👉✨Eventually, you may want to move to self custodial options and maybe consider to even self-host your own LN node for better privacy. Good news is stacker.news is also moving away from being a custodian wallet.

### Nostr, the maverick of Servers
![](https://image.nostr.build/2cf428a02cfc94365150112e12e541ff338390faf0718ed65957098123ca5016.jpg)
Instead of using a single instance or a centralized server Nostr is built to have several databases to exchange messages using "relays." Relays, which are neutral and nondiscriminatory, store and broadcast public messages in the Nostr network. They transmit messages to all other clients connected to them, securing communications in the decentralized network.

### My friends in Nostr welcome you!
Welcome to the tea Party, would you like a spot of tea?🍵

Learned some stuff here, so I'm leaving a comment as a way to find it again. I'm so lost on nostr... How did you make this cool guide? It looks great. Is this the future of websites?


Phobos and Deimos are very unusual moons. If I was a xenocidal alien, or a paranoid deep state, and wanted to wipe out a civilization, I'd send several asteroids to hit a planet. Some might be gravitationally captured, some might be diverted, but many objects makes a strike more likely. Notice the weird orbits of these moons that look more like asteroids? One falling into Mars quite rapidly, and the other will fly off into space.

Its out of place. It would be perfect for a novel, at least. Vallis Marinaris also looks suspicious.

There's going to be another blocksize war in 100 years. Or maybe 1000... But its coming.

We need SLOWER blocks, not faster. If the interval was 3 hours on average, the entire inner solar system could mine without a geographical impairment. Heliostat mining colonies in low solar orbit or upper Venutian atmosphere could participate in mining, as the "center of hash" begins to move from Earth to some transversal point between the best orbits.

This is how a dyson swarm starts. This is the actual economic reason why it will happen.

Ah shoot, the stupid relay... How do I get the Bitcoin relay to work?


We're not just living through the rebirth of sound money - we're also at the beginning of an Age of Philanthropy.

Even after Bitcoin fully monetizes, there will be a lot of inefficiencies left that will take a long time to correct. "Economic inefficiencies" really means poverty and human suffering, as companies and savings and infrastructure that should exist, don't exist ; or things that should have ceased to exist long ago, persist and draw resources that better ideas could use.

Bitcoin cuts the noise and sets a frame of truth, which allows economies to prioritize more intelligently. But economies are like forests - there's a sort of plant succession, a path dependence. Inefficiencies ripple forward through time.

What are you going to do when bitcoin fully monetizes? Your savings will be more than adequate. Find a school somewhere that needs some help, and set them straight for a few centuries. Or whatever, that's just one idea. I think what we're really doing right now is building a horde of philanthropists. Cuz what else are you going to do with it?

We're going to fix the world for the pure joy of doing it. Because we can, and for no other reason.


Mars is for chumps. Venus is better.

I'd rather have more energy than I need than almost none at all. Mercury for metals, Venus for living with correct gravity for human biology. Solar panels around either will be several times more efficient than at Earth ; solar panels at Mars are so inefficient that your mass requirements are prohibitive, whether that means using 4x as many solar panels or using fission. All machinery is more difficult with more mass or less power.

Mars is a project for 10,000 yrs in the future. Venus/Mercury is the correct project for right now.

It really is the healthiest food. I researched the F outta this a few years ago... I was on the same wavelength as bitcoiners before finding bitcoin.

I think there's an untold history, where you could compare beef civilizations vs bread civilizations. Bread won because they bred like rabbits, but they were too weak to be free people, so legions of bread eating statist slaves slowly overcame the free people who ate beef. Someone should tell that story...
