Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.
This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Wheys in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental... Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content...

OK, that a good beginner course, I will answer every good question you ask here...


I actually had a friend say to me, “how much more money do you need?”

This dude is childless and lives off his parents lol

What he doesn’t understand is this…

How much more do I need for me? Nothing.

But when you have a family, people depend on you.

I have four kids.

What if they have four kids?

Including my wife that’s 21 people I’m responsible for.

What if I’m the only person in the family who ever figures out anything substantial?

Looking back that appears to be the case.

Everyone before me was some garden variety European peasant.

There’s no royalty in my blood.

Why would I assume it would be any different going forward?

Nah man, it’s me.

Just me.

I’m the only one.

And people are depending on me.

How much more money do I need?

Enough for everybody.

For everyone who is getting fatigued with Bitcoin’s recent price action:

Over the last decade, the average return in #Bitcoin for the top 10 days each year was 184%, and the average return (loss) for all of the remaining days each year was −10%.

Patience eventually pays off, big time.


The most important #macro data... by far.

Global M2 -- the creation and flow of liquidity to the private sector -- is the primary driver of asset prices over time.

And #bitcoin -- as everyone should know by now -- is the Great Absorber of Liquidity.

Understand this and you will do well.

“I felt like things were meaningless and it spread to other areas of my life. You see all the things that are wrong in the world but you don’t see a path of how things could be improved. A lot of things are f**ked up and I didn’t have a path out. I was very nihilistic…

I realized there were power structures in the world that are not set up in a way that is good for society & humanity at large.

#Bitcoin completely changed that!

#Bitcoin allows you to save yourself.

The way #Bitcoin works is that it puts the individual at the centre.

When used properly, you can use #Bitcoin for yourself and no one can tell you how to use #Bitcoin. No one can even tell you what #Bitcoin is! You need to decide for yourself.”

Brazil has 200,000,000 people, it's a country where ppl are heavily on facebook (preciously on Orkut and ICQ), Brazilian society functions via WhatsApp. Even lawyers do stuff with you via WA.

Assuming this is real numbers, not removing bots and such, it's a tiny number for Brazil.

There is no point in looking at blue sky as somehow some example of someone doing something write.

I have never met a real life person who's active on that platform, I don't know anyone in Brazil who even heard about blue sky.

They are being smart about doing a fuck ton of PR about it to get North American users by having folks talk about them on Nostr 😂

Focus on Nostr, blue sky is irrelevant to the main platforms AND to our big picture.

😡 Since when is cash "unacceptable"?

I went to a store and tried to use cash.

They would not take it.

"Sorry sir, we do not accept cash."

I was informed BYUfootball is no longer taking cash.

"I'm sorry we don't take cash."

Last time I checked, cash is "legal tender" ?

(The Federal Reserve makes it legal plunder but that's a Frederic Bastiat story for later...)

I've walked out of the UtahJazz game angrier than a bird because I couldn't by an over priced milkshake for $15 with a 10 dollar bill and a 5 dollar bill.

Unlike all the other markets, #Bitcoin is not being artificially propped up and protected by the State


What I'm watching... 👀

#Nasdaq stocks  ( $QQQ ) in the US have absolutely crushed it relative to most other equities over the past five years, rising a whopping +158% in US dollar terms!

However, they have actually decreased -55% in real (neutral energy money) terms over that same time period.

Understand that how you measure your life is extremely important and relevant for a better future.

False weights, measures, and money--like government fiat currencies--give you a distorted and misleading picture.

#Bitcoin has the same number of users as the Internet had in 1999 https://image.nostr.build/9b2ac825f925036e0f5078acef7189f6f9f01326df84d118c09479d99863bd69.jpg


Owning your social graph will feel as obvious as owning your money.

This means transportability, divisibility, assayability, fungiblity, and lack of debasement.

In all things.


speed is the most important feature.

being able to send a note/post via text, have it fully render, and instantly load when someone clicks on it, is one of the biggest things that will help build network effect.

communities, such as ditto, and giving people the option to make them private and encrypted, is a net new feature not found on any other platform that will draw people to the nostr social app protocol, and be the best onboarding and discovery tool out there. people care a lot more about privacy than censorship-resistance.

getting as much content and information on here, welcoming of the bots and agentic AI, will allow this protocol to be the only one that can definitively state: "see everything." especially since no individual/corporation/government can delete your content or account.

this is what i would prioritize. the past two years of nostr has been about exploring the breadth of the protocol. great! it's now time to go deep and focus on quality and differentiated experiences. not copies of copies.

I just gave a friend an update on what Nostr is and showed a bunch of apps in the ecosystem. Showing how fast it is and how all of these apps use the same identity and data but are different in their focus. He has been around the space of social media protocols for years but he was blown away.

We’ve really got something amazing. We need to do a better job of show and telling the story. It’s not about just zaps or censorship resistance or the way we’re doing web of trust moderation. We’ve built something which works really well. It fulfills the dream of the early days of the internet, web, and Web 2.0. An open interoperable internet, by and for the users.

As an aside, yes bitcoin is part of it, but it’s so politicalized that some people dismiss nostr as that bitcoin social media protocol. We see people join nostr and through it discover bitcoin, that’s the path to wide adoption.

Even though our account on X was mistakenly suspended for a short while today, it was nice to see that our Nostr account remained ever-present. 💜


If you feel scared by current market conditions, know this:

#Bitcoin experienced pullbacks of more than 20% 12 times in the 2017 bull run.

In the 2021 bull market, it happened 9 times.

Each time, people thought the bull market was over and $BTC was dead.

Smart money bought those falls and made millions.

Scared retail sold those dips and made FOMO on the top later.


I can't believe how good the game theory of Bitcoin is. Amazes me everyday.

The block size
The supply cap
The difficulty adjustment (absolute genius)
The ~10min block intervals
The fee market
The private/public keys
The UTXO set
The p2p network
The adversarial and anti-fragile nature of it all

Just incredible foresight. Never seen anything like it before.

Crypto Doublethink is widespread.

On the one hand, people say that USD backed by Bitcoin, "can't work", but out of the other side of their mouths they uncritically support Tether.

This is 100% irrational Crypto Doublethink.

Stablesats Think accepts the premise, inevitability and legitimacy of fiat as its starting point; that the measure used to value Bitcoin is and should be fiat.

This is clearly wrong, and anti-Bitcoin.

If it were not the case that fiat is the ruler used to measure the value of fiat, no one would think "Stablesats" were required, because Sats are Money.

Fiatistas never accepted and still do not accept the fundamental thinking behind the creation of Bitcoin. They are US American Dollar addicted delusionalistas and fiatistas.

And you must remember; none of the people advocating Stablesats are actual Bitcoiners; they came to the ideas that underpin Bitcoin after it was released, not before. They are not philosophically aligned with the ideas that were the spur to create Bitcoin (many of them are die hard collectivists and Socialists), and so of course, they are predisposed to accepting lies as the truth, like measuring value in US Dollars.

Thankfully, Bitcoin does not and cannot care about any of this, and the true Bitcoin entrepreneurs building Bitcoin companies on its sound foundation are the ones that are changing the world, not people at the periphery promoting the US Dollar, wrapped dollars, Stablecoins and other junk, who scream about other dollarization ideas, "Not that way, but the way I want them!"

Thinking about the late 2017 bull run, when #Bitcoin went from $3K to $20K, and this electric energy was in the air.

It felt like Bitcoin was on the cusp of dethroning the US dollar, ushering in a new era of freedom and prosperity.

We are still on that cusp. In fact, though it may not seem like it, we are closer than ever. And The Fed knows it. https://video.nostr.build/7a9712211b8755089bd84d0ff58614bf853a6259715c491359180c5e9f382519.mp4

“Our grandkids are gonna look back at this like we look back at bloodletting… they'll have the same reaction: ‘hang on a second. Everyone knows free markets are what provide prosperity and you let the market for MONEY be set by 12 guys who could rig it in their favor. What the fuck were you doing? That was insane.’”

TLDR: #Bitcoin > Bloodletting (Federal Reserve Cartel)

Most people who I know that think the CIA invented bitcoin, are not very familiar with the pre-history of Bitcoin including work by Back, Szabo, Finney, etc.

I'm not saying that certainly no intelligence agency created Bitcoin, but rather, I'm very skeptical of the certainty that many people have around that topic.

Because, when you are somewhat familiar with that pre-history and look at it from an engineering perspective, you can clearly see the pieces gradually falling into place. In the1980s there was work by Chaum about how to build a database run by mutually suspicious entities. In the 1990s there was work by Back for proof-of-work. As things moved into the 2000s, there was Szabo's Bit Gold, which is very similar to what Bitcoin ended up being, and Finney's Reusable Proof of Work "RPOW" tokens. Finney hadn't solved the centralization issue, and Szabo hadn't solved the issue of better computation causing supply inflation over time, but they were collectively within shooting range of the solution. Others as well. Meanwhile global bandwidth was getting better, encryption in general was getting better (and there we've got an actual intelligence agency contribution), etc.

And then Satoshi added to that work, including the difficulty adjustment in particular and many other details, with a full implementation.

Basically, if someone thinks that Bitcoin just kind of magically came out of nowhere, then it's pretty easy to see how they'd be inclined toward a conspiratorial assumption.

However, if one sees that, just like any other industry, there was a series of engineers building on each others' work until someone finally got it over the line, then it looks a lot more organic.

It’s true. The biggest impediment to understanding bitcoin is not intelligence. It’s ego.

You have to re-assess something you previously dismissed. You have to buy in late compared to what you could have done earlier, and accept that. You have to embrace the fact that you are but a tiny node on a network that nobody controls.

Long thread with my thoughts on the past week in Nashville 🧵👇


What an incredible week!

I feel so loved & appreciated amongst bitcoiners. I have immense respect for so many of you. To get a little of that back means a lot. I walk away from these events feeling blessed. 🧡

I lived a vastly different life before all this. I always felt trapped, whether it was public school, or the soul crushing 9-5 grind that I did all through my 20s.

Bitcoin changed everything.

My family is Greek. We show love through proof of work in the kitchen. To share tiny pieces of that with so many is my way of saying thank you for being you. Thank you for your positivity in this world. For standing up for what you believe in. For not only caring about future generations, but for actually doing something about it!

My wife has been around Bitcoin as long as I have, but this was the first conference for my mom & daughters. It's one thing to hear me talk about this part of my life, but it's a different thing entirely for them to experience it. They know me better after this past week. I highly recommend bringing your family if you have the opportunity!

You all encourage me to be a better human today than I was yesterday. Thank you for that. 🙏

Thanks to David, Mike, and the entire Bitcoin Magazine staff for putting this together. You guys did an incredible job.

My family is already talking about Vegas next year, so I guess you can expect all of us to be there! 😂


"It gives me hope for the future. These #Bitcoin guys are charging up the hill w/ a sharper spear & we're going to kill this fiat monster. The system's broken. The wrong people are winning. Let's crush these assholes."

Bitcoiner wake up

Food for thought, from L0la L33tz:

„Those of you who have paid close attention to Trump's speech at Bitcoin 2024 may have noticed that the former President – accidentally or intentionally – appears to have given away a lot more on his plans for the future of Bitcoin than meets the eye.

Despite his assurances to protect open source development and self-custody in the US, Trump is first and foremost a national security president, highlighted by his remarks on terrorism and immigration. A loosening of AML/CFT laws, which currently see several open-source developers under indictment, seems unlikely (though a democrat law enforcement officer in the White House may arguably not do us any better).

During Trump's past presidency, the US passed the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which increased penalties for AML/CFT offenses and established beneficial ownership requirements for LLCs to FinCEN.

While Trump vetoed the NDAA, it appears that he did not do so due to the AMLA2020, but rather because the NDAA kept Trump from his crusade to repeal Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act, which protects Internet Service Providers from liability for information hosted and transmitted.

According to Trump, Section 230 is a "national security risk" which "will make our intelligence virtually impossible to conduct".

If you had hoped that a Trump presidency would reduce the risks of developers being held liable for "illicit activity", you may do best in thinking again – "Broadcasting" 'illicit transactions' is precisely what Samourai Wallet currently stands accused of, which would hardly be arguable under the striking of Section 230.

Between incoherent ramblings on god, AI, and electric cars, Trump essentially used his 50-minute speaking slot to introduce The Bitcoin Dollar between the lines: a CBDC alternative to expand US hegemony beyond the petrodollar system directly into consumer wallets across the planet.

Don't forget that the vast space between your ears is intelligence's field of play. For Trump, Bitcoin is merely a tool to "extend the dominance of the US Dollar to new frontiers all around the world", and if his speech showed us anything, its that you are nothing more than another pawn at the end of the identity politics chessboard, where a banner hangs that reads: Congratulations, you’ve been played.“


After years of serving the community, LightningTipBot and ln.tips is retiring. Thank you for all the memories.

We've made so many normies experience Bitcoin and Lightning for the first time, you can't even imagine it anon, you have no idea. It's something I'm deeply prod of and I have a lot to say about it when the time has come.

I'm moving on to other things. Let a thousand bots blossom.

🚨PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨

Heather Morgan, AKA 'Razzlekhan' is a self proclaimed social engineer who pleaded guilty to laundering funds her husband hacked from Bitfinex (120,000 BTC) back in 2016.

I crossed paths with her in Nashville this week. After asking around I discovered she has been spotted at multiple Bitcoin events over the past year.

It's extremely suspicious that she is still walking free and hasn't been sentenced for her crimes.

Trump: under my administration, Bitcoin increased by 3600%

First reaction: Did he seriously take credit for Bitcoin's price rise?

Second reaction: This isn't the flex that he thinks it is.

Third reaction: The money printing will probably be similar to what he did before. Maybe it's not a bad reason to vote for him.

The strength of bitcoin is that it is immune to any conference or political intervention.

Bitcoin is inevitable.

Good afternoon.

The Bitcoin conference currently has a lot of political theater, and the Trump headliner is front and center much to everyone’s joy or frustration depending on where you stand on that, but I’ll take a moment to highlight something that’ll get lost in the shuffle.

Today on the main stage, Jason Maier (author A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin) interviewed progressive congressman Rho Khanna. They talked about a lot of stuff but the TLDR headline takeaway statement from Khanna was “Bitcoin is about freedom. Bitcoin is about human rights.”

And around the same time, a bunch of Democrat Congress people sent a letter to the DNC chair saying the party needs to embrace this industry better, and basically that the Warren wing of the party isn’t the way to go here anymore. Whether it’s polling data, sheer numbers about how many Americans own this stuff, or more knowledge conversations about bitcoin’s energy impact and other things, being anti-bitcoin is a losing strategy.

Yes, a lot of this will be forgotten after the election, both from Republicans and Democrats. Politicians gonna politic. And there will be shitcoinery. Politicians are currently in their pandering phase. But when I began writing about this industry nearly seven years ago, I would not have expected to see this much explicit support by 2024.

The builders, the educators, the advocates- all of your work does matter. At least when it comes to protecting Americans and others against some of the most potentially hostile government positions, the narrative war is working. We need more work on the right to privacy, and that imo is the harder battle, but given how successful things have been on other fronts, I think that front is workable too.

Introducing Automated Wallet Rollover with Advanced Coin Control

We are excited to introduce a significant update to Nunchuk: the new Wallet Rollover feature. This powerful tool provides a comprehensive solution for migrating from an old wallet to a new wallet while maintaining your preferred coin management strategy.

A Leap Forward in Wallet Management
Until now, migrating from an old wallet to a new wallet has been a largely manual process, requiring users to carefully manage transactions and coin control themselves. Nunchuk’s Wallet Rollover feature automates much of this process, dramatically reducing the potential for errors and saving time. Moreover, our advanced coin control management is unparalleled in the Bitcoin wallet space, offering a level of granularity and privacy preservation techniques previously unavailable to users.

Independent Rollover Feature
The Wallet Rollover feature operates independently and can be utilized in various scenarios that require fund transfers between wallets, including key replacement processes.

Key Capabilities:
1. Transfer between any wallet types (single-sig to multi-sig, vice versa, or between different multi-sig configurations).
2. Preserve coin segregation strategy during transfers.
3. Enhance privacy further through randomized broadcast of the rollover transactions.
Nunchuk is the first Bitcoin wallet to offer this level of automation and granular control in wallet transitions.

Advanced Coin Control During Rollover
This feature enables users to preserve their coin segregation strategy when migrating to a new wallet. Whether you segregate your coins for privacy, accounting, or any other purpose, you can now maintain this organization during a wallet transition.
Key Benefits Include:
* Preservation of existing tags and collections, maintaining the separation of coins based on origin, purpose, or other criteria.
* Enhanced privacy by preserving your original coin management strategy.

Important Details:
* To maintain your coin segregation strategy, the rollover feature may create multiple transactions.
* For enhanced privacy, we recommend broadcasting these transactions at random intervals rather than all at once. This practice obscures the connection between the newly created coins and the old and new wallets.
* Subscribers benefit from an automatic randomized broadcasting feature, further enhancing transaction privacy.

Why This Matters
1. Seamless Key Replacement: In case of a lost or compromised key, you can quickly transition to a new wallet setup while maintaining your preferred coin organization, minimizing disruption and stress.
2. Evolving Security Needs: As your Bitcoin holdings grow or your security requirements change, you can easily transition between different wallet types (e.g., from single-sig to multi-sig) without the hassle of manual transfers.
3. Privacy Enhancement: By preserving your coin segregation strategy and using randomized broadcasting, you can significantly improve onchain privacy during wallet transitions.
4. Flexibility for Various Use Cases: Whether you’re setting up an inheritance plan, adjusting business wallet structures, or simply reorganizing your funds, this feature adapts to your specific needs.
5. User Control: You retain full control over your bitcoin throughout the entire process, adhering to the principles of self-custody while benefiting from advanced automation.

It’s important to note that while preserving coin segregation strategy offers privacy benefits, it may result in multiple transactions, potentially increasing on-chain fees. Users can weigh this trade-off based on their specific privacy needs and cost considerations.

How to Use Wallet Rollover
To initiate a wallet rollover, navigate to: The wallet you want to migrate from > View wallet config > More menu > Roll funds over to another wallet.

Looking Ahead
At Nunchuk, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of Bitcoin self-custody. This update represents a significant leap forward in wallet management flexibility and user control. We’re excited to see how our users leverage these new capabilities to enhance their Bitcoin security and wallet management strategies.

Stay tuned for more innovations as we continue to evolve the Nunchuk ecosystem. Your financial sovereignty is our top priority, and we’re dedicated to providing you with the tools you need to maintain complete control over your bitcoin.

The most coherent vision of a positive libertarian future is described in “The Sovereign Individual.”

The most coherent vision of a positive right-wing future is described in the essays and interviews of Curtis Yarvin.

Recommend both. https://image.nostr.build/54a7092686de78629e8265774ba941239b7f3de1695d6046e58a5c4933d6f65c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/8138496086f6d10e30c60e756e1559a55d7236c7840873cde9f76e1d9082813f.jpg


The next decade will be pivotal for freedom, privacy & property rights:

- The right to self custody

- CBDCs vs open source unstoppable money: KYC, access to your money, & bank/country bail ins

- The right to financial privacy vs forced disclosures of assets (eg EU Asset Registry proposal)

- Open vs closed source AI: who owns & has access to all your data, your, thoughts & decides wrt what prompts are allowed

- Public domain communication protocols (like Nostr) vs centralized social media: digital identity, digital signatures, & freedom of speech

We've never been at so many important crossroads at once: it's up to us to build, educate, & advocate for the world we want to live in


for any news, the bitcoin price is the first market indication of how people feel about it.

markets are emotional voting machines, and bitcoin is open 24/7.
