You’ve probably seen GreenpeaceUSA's Bitcoin report by now, and my response (if you haven't been blocked).

Here’s six things that every environmentalist, Bitcoin advocate, regulator, policymaker and media representative should know about GreenpeaceUSA.

I've had this information for over a year, but have held back on going public with it until now because there were initially signs that GreenpeaceUSA would be open to engaging with environmentalists within the Bitcoin community.

With them now blocking me from commenting on their tweets, all hope of that has now ended. So here's what I can tell you about GreenpeaceUSA, and their campaign that have not been aired publicly until now, and which may surprise you.

Firstly, some context: I’m a former volunteer environmental campaigner with Greenpeace. I once risked arrest to stand up for causes I believed in, including an anti-GMO campaign against McDonalds which was successful within 6 weeks, and hailed as an example of how creative direct action can yield fast results. One of the differences: we talked to McDonalds (something no one at GreenpeaceUSA is currently doing with the Bitcoin community).

I know a number of people in the environmental movement, and I would like to thank them for their honesty in whistleblowing on a thoroughly misguided campaign from GreenpeaceUSA from start to finish.

1. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign does NOT have the backing of Greenpeace International. In fact, other branches have asked questions of GreenpeaceUSA’s tactics, and even said that their campaign is damaging the Greenpeace brand, and has resulted in the loss of subscriptions.

2. Within GreenpeaceUSA, there are a growing number of voices of discontent. There is a growing division between some of the younger crypto-neutral or crypto-friendly millennial in their base, and the directorship of GreenpeaceUSA

3. As we know, GreenpeaceUSA did receive a $5Million donation from Ripple’s chair Chris Larsen to run an anti-Bitcoin campaign. What you probably do not know is that within Greenpeace, several staff have questioned whether this is ethical, or in the spirit of an organization that says it relies only on grassroots funding in its sign-up pledge.

4. Some members of EWG and SierraClub, particularly younger members, were not enamoured with their organization’s collusion with GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign. EWG has not engaged in anti-Bitcoin rhetoric since 6 April ‘23.

5. The head of GreenpeaceUSA’s “Change the Code” campaign has stepped down and is no longer any part of GreenpeaceUSA. At the time of his stepping down he was reported by a source within GreenpeaceUSA to be questioning the wisdom of the campaign.

6. Within GreenpeaceUSA, we know from multiple inside sources that the Change the Code campaign has been widely acknowledged to have been “not particularly successful”. GreenpeaceUSA’s campaign got off on the wrong foot right from the start, by antagonising environmentalists within the Bitcoin community, such as me. Here’s its half-time report (TL;DR, the worst performing environmental campaign I’ve ever witnessed). https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/greenpeace-environment-attacks-help-bitcoin… Now, the campaign is in more disarray than ever, resorting to tenuous ad hominem attacks against Satoshi Action, based on the discover that one of their supporters is a climate denier. True. Well, guess what: one of their supporters is also a plant-based, tree-hugging, climate-activist & meditation teacher: me. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin: it pulls people in from across the political spectrum: we are as diverse as society itself, and that’s what makes us strong. As I wrote recently, “when the ship you’re standing on is sinking: it doesn’t matter if you’re on the left of right side of it.”

I hoped GreenpeaceUSA would end their anti-Bitcoin campaign before their credibility and relevance to the new generation of millennials they are currently disenfranchising is completely severed.

But it seems at the moment they are more intent on doubling down on misinformation. Their leadership must change for them to ever have hope of becoming a true voice for the environment again.


Yes, it was #Bitcoin. nostr:npub1cn670f663n3ks02jnnlsvd5y88zjnefy8343ykaxs7y3nzzketrsrjwt8a was providing you with the fiat equivalent.


You can be involved in a circular #Bitcoin economy by offering your services or products for sale in #Bitcoin.

What are your products or services?


What I like about the FBI’s and Dept of Justice’s investigation, indictment,  prosecution, and conviction of Bitcoin’s illicit activity is that they lay out exactly how the crime was committed.

Exactly.

And it’s never Bitcoin’s fault.

Never.

People get charged, not the C++ Bitcoin code.

The person who orange-pilled me said #Bitcoin is money that the government can’t fuck with 😎


sats are an incorruptible way to

- store my time

- teleport value and time to people who I want to have more time

- accept payment for my business without having to involve legacy financial institutions or state money

- allow value to flow between any human  without cutting anyone off via arbitrary state boundaries

- integrate a real money and currency natively into the internet and into other protocols like this one

What is sats to me? It’s a new foundation for building a fairer and healthier civilization, integrated natively into the virtual consciousness of humanity: the internet. nostr:note1ynqwkgrax286qc45pd79j3gk6pxx0je44gu6ecqawetkwhhqlw5qrpqu9r

Pour 8 ounces of water into the 8-oz cup and add 8 drops of orange coloring.

In the ∞-sized cup, add 8 drops of green coloring. And just keep adding water to ∞.

SSL is not native Internet money.

“SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard security technology that encrypts data sent between a website and a browser or between two servers. It provides a secure channel between two machines or devices operating over the internet or an internal network, preventing hackers from seeing or stealing any information transferred, including personal or financial data.” - https://www.digicert.com/what-is-ssl-tls-and-https

Credit cards are also not native Internet money.

#Bitcoin *is* native Internet money. The Bitcoin Timechain only exists on the Internet.

So cool


Bitcoin is native Internet money, coded in C++ and launched on the Internet Jan 3, 2009.

How was fiat coded and launched on the Internet?


you own your data (contact list, posts, profile, etc). This is pretty unique, in every other online app the company owns your data and they are just letting you access it until they say you can’t.

your data is portable, it can be stored on your devices and copied to many relays. This effectively makes your online presence unbannable and undeplatformable

you are not just cattle for big tech to sell ads to.

It’s borderless. the protocol integrates the native money of the internet (sats via nostr #zaps) so you can freely transfer value to anyone in the world if you like their post.

Its bridged to other protocols like activitypub so its not isolated to just nostr weirdos

There are 10+ quality clients to choose from if you don’t like the one you first tried. No other social media protocol has this level of client development.


That’s a cool option that nostr:npub1wxl6njlcgygduct7jkgzrvyvd9fylj4pqvll6p32h59wyetm5fxqjchcan has to set different emojis as a trigger.

For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!

Talking to normies does remind me how far I've come, it's crazy how many people are conditioned towards activity bias, and the buy-and-hold strategy of #Bitcoin is too good to be true, it's too simple, it can't just be that easy right?

Instead, people are looking for side hustles, looking for cash flow from property or equities, and taking all sorts of risks to try and beat inflation


Nostr is undefeated 💪

Also offer to send $5.00 worth of #BTC to anti-Bitcoiners, but so far no takers.

Imagine a cult where instead of having a leader, there is no leader…

Where instead of secrecy, there is transparency…

Where instead of closed doors open only to some, there is openness for everyone…

Where instead of strict controls on what you can say and do, you are free to say and do whatever you want…

Where instead of conformity being required, individuality is celebrated…

Where instead of living only in the fervor of the moment, you are encouraged to think long term so you may build a better future for yourself and your family…

Where instead of your possessions, thoughts, and your very soul being given over to the collective, individual sovereignty over one’s identity and property is supreme…

That’s basically the #Bitcoin cult.

1. Can you eat #bitcoin?

Absolutely not! Nor would you want to.

Why would anyone want to eat their Store of Value, Medium of Exchange or Unit of Account?

Nobody eats gold, oil or natural gas. Nor do they eat dimes, quarters or $100 bills. Nor do they eat paper checks, credit cards or gift cards.

2. Can you use Bitcoin as raw material?

Raw material to make what? Bitcoin is both the input *and* the finished product.

3. I don’t understand your premise that nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m is “changing the meaning of words, in this case confusing money and commodities.”

Please rephrase.


Thinking of an analogy for #Bitcoin supply cap of 21M:

Imagine you have a 21-gallon aquarium.

Now start filling it with water.

The act of adding water is inflationary because you’re increasing the supply of water in order to reach 21 gallons.

But once you’ve added 21 gallons of water, you’re done. No more inflation.

Water = Bitcoin supply


Totally agree. For a noobie custodial UX is easiest.

At the birthday party I mentioned attending, we tried using Cash App, but the app required them to provide a government-issued ID to receive Bitcoin. And they didn’t want to do that.

So I had them install Phoenix Wallet.

I sent them $10 of Bitcoin on-chain (instead of via Lightning, because explaining Lightning and liquidity to a noobie at a birthday party was just too overwhelming for them).

As I’ve learned from nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m

A commodity is an asset without an issuer, like gold, wheat, oil, and ore.

#Bitcoin is a *digit* asset.

It’s taken me a loooong-ass time to understand this.

Why #Bitcoin  being a *commodity* is so important!

“The fundamental distinction of a commodity is it’s an asset *without* an issuer.”

“The smart money is buying Bitcoin because it is the crypto *commodity* network. It is the *decentralized* asset *without* an issuer.

“The dumb money is buying a crypto *token* network which is *centrally-controlled*, that is an asset *with* an issuer.”

That sounds cool. I’m down for that. FYI, whatever I come with I’ll also put in my shop.

Thanks for letting me know you’re using CustomInk. They’re top-notch. And I can grab dimension specs from them.

I’ll add my URL in small font on the art I send you.

No need for Sats. And feel free to keep proceeds for yourself and Nostr.build 🫡


1. You’ll take care of Nostriga tee. Cool.

2. Do you mean me pick one of my existing BTC designs from my store? And send you that art for you to print and offer in your store? That’d be cool; I can do that. Are you doing spot-color silk-screen or direct-to-garment print-on-demand?

On the other hand, nostr.build and nostrage.com appear to be solid hosts.

"Do it afraid!"

Ben Affleck: What's success for you with this?

Jennifer Lopez: Just doing it. Just doing it is success. I heard Prince say the thing about making music is that it is a success upon making it. And I've never understood that more than I do now. And I know it could end disastrously. I know that.

Ben: Why do it?

Jennifer: I think it is beautiful. I think it's worthy. I think it's worth the risk. If it turns out great, then I've fulfilled my mission: I let people know "don't give up", "do it", "don't be afraid", "fuck it; do it afraid", "do it afraid".

BTW, nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 what’s the most famous view of Latvia? Is it a building or a bridge or the capital or something else? Maybe some statue or architectural or flower or plant?


It’s Nostr Riga in Latvia in Aug 2024, right?

BTW, why not just use the art that’s on the Nostr Riga home page? That’s bitchin’

I know nothing about the city of Latvia, so might not be helpful art wise in that regard. But Nostr and Bitcoin artwork for sure.

What I need from you is artwork dimensions, which you can get from your t-shirt printer. I’m used to using many colors, but don’t know how your printer is set up: 1-color, 2-color, unlimited colors? Silk-screen? Direct-to-garment?

Hopefully you find someone who can get you art, printing, and selling.


I have a particular design style that may or may not meet your needs: pretty much flat with large font.

100% agree with every item in the pic 🔥

Now, to add some flavor: cash (U.S. dollars) loses 50% of its purchasing power every 10 years. So saving in cash sucks because it’s a boat with a an unpatchable hole in it.

The government can physically seize your cash under asset forfeiture. They cannot seize your #Bitcoin unless you give them your Bitcoin.

While #Bitcoin is not perfectly anonymous, it is pseudonymous. The Bitcoin blockchain ledger records all transactions and is transparent for anyone to look at. But there are no names attached to transactions. Note: the FBI can figure out who a transaction belongs to if the sender/receiver haven’t taken precautions to be as anonymous as possible. As time goes on, there will be better technologies around Bitcoin for anonymity.

And anyone can use Bitcoin, anywhere in the world. No age restrictions, no government oversight, no 3rd party providers to go through (like Venmo). Nobody can seize your Bitcoin.

Even though Bitcoin has been around for 15 years, it’s just getting started. I am bullish as fuck!

What if the Internet goes down?

Machankura, which is already in use in Africa, is a platform that allows users to send and receive Bitcoin without an internet connection or smartphone.

Every Sat Counts.


This is my limited understanding so far, after listening to Jeff Booth on a couple of podcasts.

In The Price of Tomorrow, Jeff Booth points out that technology makes the price of everything “deflationary”, so goods and services and housing are less expensive, not more expensive. This is because technology pushes prices down to their marginal cost of production.

He also points out that increasing the money supply pushes against the deflationary results of technology lowering prices to their marginal cost of production. This is the government purposely fucking you over by maintaining inflation in the economy.

JAZZ HOUSE MIX SESSION #4

https://youtu.be/tD2GT1igFLs?si=Z2LPwCH7YXbtoL-J


In fiat you have to earn your living twice—once to get a paycheck, and again to gamble that paycheck on stocks, bonds, real estate—in an effort to beat inflation.

In #Bitcoin you can simply work for sats, save in sats, and spend in sats—without thinking about inflation at all.


Not life savings, no.

But onboarding a noobie to #Bitcoin via a non-custodial Lighting wallet like Phoenix, yes.

And watching their face light up when they receive their first #BTC, without KYC/AML, a bank or government getting in the way? Priceless.


I onboarded a human to #Bitcoin yesterday via Phoenix Wallet.

And there’s still so much I have to learn.

https://acinq.co/blog/phoenix-splicing-update


Well said.

I def want to see installing a non-custodial wallet from the noobies POV. And I also want to keep in mind what they’re going through mentally as well as what they’re already used to in their fiat life. The transition from fiat to Bitcoin is something I can help them with but I also need to empathize with where a noobie is coming from.


Bitcoin *is* for them.

I’m researching the easiest non-custodial wallet(s) UX for a noobie when they’re out in public, at a bar or club or restaurant, where there are prying eyes and very little privacy.

Most peeps don’t carry pen and paper to write down 24-word seeds. And the idea of it is 100% foreign to a noobie. And I’d never have them type those 24 words into a Notes app on their phone.

I’m making sure I understand the noobies first-impressions and POV, and acknowledging their obstacles.

I’m all about moving the needle forward in UX so fewer noobies are left behind.


Thanks for the suggestion of Muun.

I also showed them Aqua, but all the options (Bitcoin, Lightning, Liquid, Tether) totally overwhelmed them.

Non-custodial for sure 💪 But won’t have a chance for follow-up since it was out of town.


Unfortunately, WoS is not available in America. WoS pulled their app from the App Store and Google Play.

I also wanted the noobie to have a non-custodial wallet.


Cool; thanks


I’d never sent anyone #BTC in-person before. It was definitely a learning experience for me and them.


At my grandson’s 13th 🎂 I spent 85% of my time talking #Bitcoin with one person, who just happened to be very interested in it but didn’t know who to talk to about it.

I got to see first-hand how a complete noobie reacted to first trying to use Cash App so I could send them BTC. This was a complete fail because when they went through the BTC side of Cash App, the app asked them to verify their identity with photo documentation, and they def did not want to do that.

So I had them install Phoenix Wallet, which didn’t ask them for any ID or email or password or anything. It was perfect.

Then they got to watch me struggle as I attempted to have them display a Lightning QR code on their phone, me scanning their QR from my phone, and having the transition fail because the $5.00 I attempted to send them wasn’t enough to cover fees. (Phoenix automatically fails a transaction if the fee is more than 50% of the whole amount being sent, which is a good thing.)

We tried again, and this time I had them display a Bitcoin on-chain QR code, that I scanned with my phone and sent them $10 worth of BTC. There were fees, but this time the transaction was successful. And they ended up with their very first Bitcoin. $6.68 worth 💪


Just set up Blockstream’s Green #Bitcoin Wallet. There’s nothing in it, but it gives me a chance to experience the onboarding UX/UI from a noobie’s POV.

If I were out and about with family and friends at a restaurant or a bar or a concert or a movie, this would be a new and scary noobie onboarding experience.

I had to write down 24 seed phrases and create a PIN in order to set up the new wallet on the Green Wallet. And the app quizes you - rightfully - by asking you to enter some of the seed words before creating the new wallet.

While setting a PIN isn’t uncommon, the 24-word seed phrase certainly is. And suddenly, the noobie has to think about:

1) How to literally write down 24 words, in correct order, and without pen and paper on hand (because they’re out and about) And NO, the 24 words absolutely cannot be typed into a Note app on the phone.

2) Is the surrounding environment safe from prying eyes and cameras (as Green recommends).

3) Where to safely store this piece of paper with 24 words.

I’m just re-acquainting myself with the noobie experience. https://image.nostr.build/c32f523f57edc54cf181d408f505f01d047418f9fd08c35037a1a5ec754075e8.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b487d5345b8ef70db8800f1c6f39615485a0b1b84537713be5c121f8f7e47774.jpg


Would a Passkey be something that one of my family members could use later today, when we’re all out and about at my grandson’s birthday party Looking for UX that’s a good fit for a total noobie that’s not tech savvy.


Watched a couple’a Andreas Antonopoulos videos, one in particular for IDEO which focused on how much #Bitcoin could benefit from better UX.

Even though the video was from 2015 or 2016, my graphic designer instincts kicked in.

I’ll be attending a birthday party for my grandson later today and it’s a perfect opportunity for me to chat with family about onboarding to Bitcoin and Lighting. And as I look at different apps I realize:

• Some require email and password to set up

• Some require email and first name to set up

• Some require writing down 12-word seeds to set up

And all these peeps at the party are not gonna have an easy way to remember the unique password they created, and writing down a 12-word seed phrase and keeping it safe is definitely gonna be new and scary.

And they’ll have to do this while at a party, drinking, and I doubt any of them even has a password manager to save the password and there’s no place to safely store a 12-word seed phrase while they’re out partying.

Out at a party isn’t necessarily a safe environment for securing passwords and seed phrases. Especially for noobies.

Thinking back to when I was orange pulled in 2017, person had me install Bread App on my Android smartphone, walked me through how to display a QR code, then sent me $5 of BTC from his Bread App.  It was all 100% new and weird and odd to me. I don’t even remember if I had to enter my email and first name, or email and create a password. But I know for sure I didn’t have to write down 12- word seed phrase to set up Bread App, but I was told that I absolutely had to write down my 12-word seed phrase once I got home.

Graphic designer instincts kickin’ in and thinking about easiest on-boarding solutions for peeps who are drinking and having a good time and not thinking about passwords and 12-word seed phrases.

Building muscle and post-workout muscle recovery.

From Huel (maker of Huel meal replacement powder):

“As part of a protein meal, a total BCAA level of at least 4.5g of which at least 2.2g is leucine, has been shown to be sufficient to stimulate protein synthesis. This could be in the form of a supplement, or by consuming a high-quality protein meal or snack.”

Huel Black Edition meal replacement powder (per 90g 400 calorie serving):

BCAAs: 7.4g
Leucine: 3.5g

—> Key Takeaways:

• Protein is made up of amino acids
Nine amino acids are *essential*, and are known as EAAs

• Three of these – leucine, isoleucine and valine – are BCAA BCAAs – in particular leucine – ‘switch on’ protein synthesis through the enzyme mTOR

• A protein meal containing 4.5g BCAA, including 2.2g leucine, will stimulate protein synthesis

For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.
Only Welcome to Law.

Wanna get comfortable with public speaking?

You gotta rack up time feeling uncomfortable, awkward, and embarrassed - in front of strangers.

You gotta experience forgetting what you were going to say - in front of strangers.

You gotta plow through the feeling of sweaty hands, butterflies in your stomach, and flushness in your face - in front of strangers.

I recommend visiting a Toastmasters club and participating during the club’s Table Topics session.

And I HIGHLY recommend that you participate during your very first visit!

Find a club near you. Be scared and make progress!

The tape in your cassette tape could melt, get magnetized, chip, stretch, and/or break.

Could you make a copy of your cassette tape? Sure.

But how would you send a copy of your cassette to your friend? You could hand-deliver it or mail it, which is slow and incurs some cost.

CDs were a huge step up. Other than getting scratched, CDs were much more durable.

Could you make a copy of your CD? Sure.

But how would you send a copy of your CD to your friend? You could hand-deliver it or mail it, which is slow and incurs some cost.

Fast forward to 2024.

How do you store or send a copy of a cassette tape or a CD on the Internet? You can't, because they're physical objects and incompatible with the Internet.

You need digital music for an Internet world. Which means the cassette's plastic housing and magnetic tape as well as the CD's polycarbonate plastic are unnecessary. All you need is the music.

With the Internet, you can store, copy, and distribute music to everyone - instantly.

Money is going through the same transformation.

From gold, silver, and copper to paper currency to typing credit card numbers into websites on the Internet.

For thousands of years, gold was the best form of money.

But how do you store, spend or send gold on the Internet? You can't, because gold is a physical object and incompatible with the Internet.

The Internet needs a native digital currency. A digital gold.

Not only is Bitcoin digital gold, as Andreas M. Antonopoulos says, #Bitcoin is the Internet of Money.

If you want to learn about #Bitcoin in a course-style setting, this is for you.

It's an absolute basics walk-through presented by Andreas M. Antonopoulos.

This 90 minute session, presented August 28th 2019, is designed to prepare you to study for and take the Certified Bitcoin Professional Exam (CBP). For those new to the industry, this will be your introductory course to blockchain related topics. You’ll then attend other sessions to learn more and reinforce the topics covered here.

You’ll learn about:

• The history of money, bitcoin, and how the price of bitcoin is derived.

• Basic cryptographic terms, hash functions, encryption, and digital signatures.

• Bitcoin Basics, including addresses and keys, transactions, the blockchain, bitcoin as a unit (e.g. millibt, satoshi), ways to earn, buy, sell, and store bitcoin, blockchain explorers and Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXO).

• Bitcoin wallets, specifically: wallet types (hot/cold, paper, hardware, multi-sig, etc) bitcoin clients, and wallet backup/recovery.

• Bitcoin commerce, including how to accept bitcoin for products and services.

This is a good article. It doesn’t cover what would happen in a time of war specifically, but I believe it answers your question about “how” to use #Bitcoin without Internet. Although, if there’s no electricity then nobody’s using #BTC.

“…providing fellow Africans easy access to payments. He has developed a non-custodial digital wallet that allows people to send and receive bitcoin (BTC) without a smartphone or Internet connection.”

I truly believe if we can build a good enough experience for people to live their life on sats we can start a Boston Tea party type movement in the face of what looks to be the biggest monetary debasement era of fiat ahead of us

I watched your interview. You certainly were not Fearful, Uncertain or Doubtful.  You were simply stating facts.

If you express that a bicycle’s front wheel has a loose nut, causing the wheel to come off at any time, that ain’t FUD. That’s facts.


True, scarce doesn’t always equal valuable.

But nothing is valuable without one of its features being that of scarcity.

Commodities turn into money in stages.

Stage 1: The commodity is used store of value.

Stage 2: It becomes a widely accepted medium of exchange.

Stage 3: The commodity is used to assign value to goods and services.

We proceed from stage 1 to stage 2 when enough people are using a commodity as a store of value.

We move from stage 2 to stage 3 when the commodity is widely used as a medium of exchange.

#Bitcoin       is somewhere between stage 1 and stage 2.

As more people see how well it portrays the characteristics of a store of value (durable, scarce), they start accumulating it to save for the future.

Eventually, the people who want to hold it as a store of value also want to start accepting it in exchange for goods and services. They create and sell some form of value, whether it's their time or an actual good.

At this point, the people who have held their Bitcoin for a while are willing to part with their coins which have significantly appreciated in terms of purchasing power. To be a medium of exchange, money has to be portable and divisible.

This is where Bitcoin is today! More companies are saying they want to accept #BTC       in exchange for their product offerings.

When enough merchants accept Bitcoin for their goods and services, customers may start asking for prices in terms of Bitcoin. In this case, fungibility and salability play a role.

We are still very early when it comes to #Bitcoin      , but most average people think we should be a lot further along. How is that possible when 99% of the world doesn't get how money works?

It takes longer than a few years for a form of money to be widely accepted. Today, the only thing holding Bitcoin back is the willingness of people to learn about it.

It took gold 2,000 years to move from being a store of value to a medium of exchange. Bitcoin's adoption has been much faster due to the internet. It's only taken 15 years for Bitcoin to almost reach the same stage as gold in its progression.

We're a while away from Bitcoin being used as a unit of account, but progress happens slowly and then suddenly. Every 4 years more people see Bitcoin as something that will never go away.

With the speed at which we are progressing, Bitcoin could be a world reserve asset within 20 years!


If it weren't for #Bitcoin, I never would have started questioning the current financial system.


#bitcoin is for criminals? 🫣

The true reason I left corporate America to bake baklava & clean toilets for Bitcoin was taxes. I don't talk about this often, but maybe I should.

I felt sick looking at my paycheck and seeing taxes deducted. I was angry about all the endless wars waged by the US gov via fiat currency.

I found happiness in a life earning much less, paying basically no taxes. I could be *much* wealthier today, but it would come at too great an expense.

Anyone else relate to this autistic as fuck way of living?

Workout tip:

It’s Jan 19, and if your New Year’s Resolution was to hit the gym and lift weights - and you’re out of shape or a noobie - stop lifting heavy. Stop tryna keep up with anyone else in the gym. You’re gonna hurt yourself.

Please reduce the weight your lifting by 50% and slow down your lifting movements.

Used ChatGPT to write Satoshi Nakamoto in Kanji. Decided to only use Satoshi in the graphic.

ChatGPT:

In the case of the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, the name is written as 中本哲史, where 中本 (Nakamoto) is the surname, and 哲史 (Satoshi) is the given name. The given name 哲史 (Satoshi) in this case is composed of two kanji characters, emphasizing qualities related to wisdom and philosophy. https://image.nostr.build/54c212a42c5d2b8dfa28dba707b63a7ac2df99b3af0424d54f625950e1e9d651.jpg


This is awesome


Homie just HODLing through all the ups and downs.


From ChatGPT:

In Japanese, "Satoshi" is written as 聡.

The Japanese kanji 聡 is pronounced as "Satoshi" in English. It means "wise" or "intelligent." This is one of the characters used in the given name Satoshi, as in the case of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.

-> More responses from ChatGPT:

To clarify the usage of the kanji characters in the name "Satoshi."

聡 (Satoshi): This is a single kanji character often used as a given name. It means "wise" or "intelligent." Many people named Satoshi have this kanji as part of their name.

哲史 (Satoshi): This is a combination of two kanji characters.

哲 (Tetsu): This character means "philosophy" or "wisdom."
史 (Shi): This character means "history" or "chronicle."
In the case of the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, the name is written as 中本哲史, where 中本 (Nakamoto) is the surname, and 哲史 (Satoshi) is the given name. The given name 哲史 (Satoshi) in this case is composed of two kanji characters, emphasizing qualities related to wisdom and philosophy.

So, 聡 (Satoshi) and 哲史 (Satoshi) can both be used as given names, and they carry slightly different meanings due to the specific kanji characters used. The choice of characters can be influenced by personal preference or the desired meaning for the name.

#Bitcoin is maturing, yet still outperforming all other assets. All in the face of high interest rates. Uneducated haters are in disbelief as #Bitcoin was a bubble that would only work with ZIRP.

Now their fiat heroes are calling #BTC: a flight to quality, exponential gold/gold on steroids, even the future of money.

The funny thing about absolute scarcity/#Bitcoin is it’s scarcity will continuously increase relative to everything that isn’t absolutely scarce. In our case this is EVERYTHING, because #Bitcoin was the discovery of absolute scarcity.

For this reason I didn’t sell any #BTC last cycle and I don’t plan on doing so this cycle either. No need for a lambo, I only want to spend what I can replace.

#Bitcoin doesn’t need QE to melt faces…Why? Because, even a 5+% interest rate by the Fed, is QE compared to the hardest monetary policy that will continue getting harder FOR THE NEXT CENTURY.

Come on people. ITS NOT EVEN MATH!!!

It’s set in stone vs. built on sand.

I’m all in with no stop loss, I could hold to 0, I could hold past $1,000,000,000. One of these is actually impossible, the other is likely closer than you think. https://image.nostr.build/4e0fbf56bd980337cac5a2ddcde41176e61909c305574246d79eb02f684836c3.jpg

Threat modeling for sure 💪


His fear of losing his $120,000 by him making a mistake is well-founded, at least in his mind.

His lack of educating himself about hardware wallets and securely storing his mnemonic phrase on steel and in multiple locations is gonna bite him in the ass. Maybe multi-sig would be better for his peace-of-mind.

His ignoring the “not your keys, not your coins” mantra and not getting his corn off of exchanges is also gonna bite him in the ass.


Oh, that’s cool

To threaten people with a felony charge for not playing the role of tax collector on behalf of the IRS is one of the most despicable and insulting things that has come out of the US government in recent years.

To be honest, I think the bitcoin ETF is the most boring thing about bitcoin right now. Whenever I get asked about it I'm like, "meh".

Yes, the ETF should be good for price and liquidity, since it gives large pools of walled-garden capital more access to bitcoin exposure.

But in my view, the most important thing about bitcoin right now is all of the little hubs popping up around the world. Bitcoin Beach, Bitcoin Lake, Bitcoin Jungle, Bitcoin Ekasi, Africa Bitcoin Conference, Indonesia Bitcoin Conference, etc. As well wallets and other technologies that help them localize their custody of bitcoin rather than keep it all stashed in the giant Binance honeypot or wherever, and any solutions that help link to them all together for payments or that help them trade peer to peer or onboard from fiat to bitcoin in distributed ways.

The rise and connectivity of those hubs is impressive and is worth supporting.


Bitcoin is not perfect for every possible money use case. The same way the discovery of electricity didn't fit every use case of energy.

You don't use electricity to push water, you can use electricity to push a propeller

Bitcoin is at least a million times better than any other form of private property system we ever had.

It will enable many propellers.

Momma thought it would be nice if we moved our Christmas tree from the living room to the backyard so it could be with other trees for a few days before it was taken to the wood chipper and recycled to the earth. https://image.nostr.build/ab61435ff75b3f06491b0ce326fd63b6ff662e3339e3c5b3d6f6edfb34ef596e.jpg

"On the threshold of the Third Millennium, my hope for all of you who are artists is that you will have an especially intense experience of creative inspiration. May the beauty which you pass on to generations still to come be such that it will stir them to wonder! Faced with the sacredness of life and of the human person, and before the marvels of the universe, wonder is the only appropriate attitude."

Another day in the USA…

Today I went to a few places and asked them :

“ DO YOU ACCEPT BITCOIN ? “

All of them say no…

Before walking out, I respectfully made sure they will communicate to their bosses the fact that they lost my business today because all I was carrying on me was bitcoin.

I am not nearly the nerd today than the one I will be in 5 or 10 years, but that was a start 🫂💜🤙🏼

I wrote this note because Bitcoin and Nostr is what I want to do until 5 seconds before I trascend to a higher plane ( for the record I am not a spring chicken but the rest of the fire I was provided when I was born…all that I have in me will be devoted to spread the Bitcoin + Nostr thang 💜✊🏼)

That being said… Most people said I am a little crazy 🤣

But for the visionaries and see my value…

I will be there.
