As for Bitcoin-only influencers, it is the ones who show signs of a fiat mindset. If they discuss trading or start to draw lines on charts, I'm out.

But where's the coffee?


For a couple of years now, we've had a politician, Jagmeet Singh, and his entire political party (NDP) calling for price controls in Canada.

In his latest stunt, he spoke directly to the camera while holding up various grocery items, like a bag of apples, and said, "This is $9. It's completely unacceptable! It shouldn't be this much!"

What are the chances that Jagmeet Singh knows anything about the apple industry? Does he understand how long it takes to grow a tree, how many apples it produces, the timing of the harvest, the costs of picking them, shipping, and distribution, etc.? Probably close to zero, yet he pretends to know what the price should be.

Meanwhile, the media refuses to inform their readers about the low margins of grocery chains. In Canada, the big bad chain is Loblaw, whose margins are around 3.5%-4%. Instead of highlighting these low margins, the media and politicians continuously push the narrative that Loblaw is making record profits.

One must wonder, how can Loblaw be making higher profits while maintaining the same margins? Could it be that inflation is causing the numbers to go up while simultaneously reducing the corporation's purchasing power?

Across the world, we're being led by complete morons, while NPCs gobble it all up. They are so incredibly dogmatic that they refuse to listen to any alternative perspective. We're in a lot of trouble.

About halfway through, I agree with your assessment. He seemed stunned by a couple of the questions and didn’t appear too sure of the best way to respond.

Unless my memory is playing tricks on me, I recall listening to a Lex Fridman episode where he mentioned Peter Thiel. Lex mentioned something along the lines of, "I'd like to have him on, but he's too powerful and important to engage in any free-flowing conversation, except those centered around a single theme."

Maybe that bit of information is influencing my perspective, but I think the reason he seems nervous is that this might be the first time he’s participating in a public, free-flowing discussion. If most of his interview experience has been confined to narrow themes, then free-flowing for millions of people to listen to would definitely be a significant change of pace.

Same here! 🫡


Which is your character of choice, when playing Smash Bros?


To me, there's a difference between trading and using leverage.

Many of us have mortgages that we could pay off, but choose to accumulate Bitcoin instead. That is using debt as an instrument to increase our BTC holding.

Trading on the other hand, I see as reading charts and attempting to time the market.


That sucks...


Everyone should be able to afford wire transfers for coffee transactions 🙃


That's been my angle. I think self custody is ideal, considering I know how to set it up for her, but the ETF is a good option for a newby.

Since we have tax free savings account in Canada, transferring from the ETF to actually holding BTC does not have as much friction, since it wouldn't be a taxable event.

She's a bit stuck in the bubble that Bitcoin is "risky", but I think she's coming around. We've been together for almost 15 years. I asked her "do you see me as conservative or risk taking, when it comes down to my money?". She knows I've always been quite conservative, so my next question is "why would a conservative person hold their life savings in Bitcoin, if it was risky?".

That's a pretty decent deal, but I'll have to pass. Elon Musk told me to send him one Bitcoin, and he'd send me back two, so I decided to go that route.

That's something I only started to realise a few months ago, after joining Nostr. My internet friends have a lot more in common with me, than my IRL ones. Lots of them, I don't even know their name, but it doesn't matter.

I'm done trying to orange pill my IRL friends. They can think "it's too late" and that "Bitcoin is already up so much". More for me to stack, by exchanging fake money for it.

I'd ask them to repeat what I wrote, then put in a complaint to the police about the hate speech they participated in.


People don’t understand the progression of how something becomes money:

1) Store of value: people hodl something because they believe it will best preserve their purchasing power over time.

2) Medium of exchange: eventually most of their savings are in it so they’re forced to trade for other things. Sellers start accepting it for goods and services.

3) Unit of account: eventually everyone is using it for trade and sellers prefer it so they start pricing their goods and services in it.

You can’t ignore the hodl stage. It’s the foundation of everything else.


In.


That's what happened when the Euro took over all the other currencies in Europe. Stores had two prices per item, one in Euro and one in their sovereign currency. People, over time, became accustomed to the new unit of account.

Some places may have discounts for individuals who prefer to pay in Bitcoin or an additional charge for those who choose to pay in fiat.

Bitcoin is a parallel system, so it is a natural evolution of our current value system.

Personally, after a few years of using Bitcoin as my personal unit of account, I recently started to think of prices in terms of sats. My brain hasn't fully adjusted out of denominating value in dollars, but it's getting close.

It reminds me of when I learned English. I would think and count in French, then translate to English. Now, I think and count in English exclusively.


You asked what will one Bitcoin be worth, in a future where Bitcoin is the monetary standard.

If you buy a house, the house will be priced in sats. What the exact amount is, will be dependent on what the market demands.

The money is worth what you can purchase with it.


You're overthinking this so much, that you aren't actually thinking it through.


It's the "world townsquare", therefore it requires coercion for funding. Hilarious!


Don't forget to send them your private keys, y'all!


Spot on.


Dafuq is she talking about?


The people without Bitcoin always ponder the risks of having it, but never the risks of not having any.


I finally finished Jason Lowery's Softwar. While the mid portion of the book was incredibly drawn out and extremely repetitive, I enjoyed the first and last quarter of it.


"more funding" is needed lol


I only get texts when it pumps, asking if I'm selling to "take profits".

My grandpa, God bless his soul, when I decided to make a career out of hockey, tried to convince me to get a government job, because of the job security that comes with it.

He was an immigrant who left Italy to start a new life in Canada, after WW2. He didn't speak the language, didn't know anyone and came with nothing. He made a living from working construction jobs.

I find it kinda weird that his advise for me was so risk adverse, especially since I was 18 at the time. Who the fuck wants to play it safe at that age?

Honestly, I'm okay with people booing politicians if they say something stupid, especially if they shill shitcoins.

However, I'm not a fan of Max Kaiser's idea of crushing them as soon as they walk on stage.

If people come out hard against them right away, newcomers watching—especially die-hard Trump supporters, for example—might immediately despise us and Bitcoin.

If we want hyperbitcoinization, I think we need to have these people around.

It doesn't mean we should trust or like them. It doesn't mean we shouldn't stand our ground against their statist cuckery either.

Maybe we should just enjoy the process of being on the big stage, while simultaneously remaining pragmatic and skeptical.


There are a few incentives to shrink the federal government that I can think of, both positive and negative.

I'll have to put more thought into it, though.

Negative:

1. Centralization of Political Power - Deflating the state may actually centralize political power. A heavy bureaucracy can make it more difficult to change the system due to all the rules and regulations. A slimmer, more efficient government could streamline processes and make it easier to change the status quo.

2. Political Pandering - As you said, a politician claiming they will shrink the government may simply be pandering for votes. They might shrink what they don't like while further funding what they support.

Positive:

1. Status and Power Dynamics - Power can be seen through different lenses. Being at the top of the hierarchy in a failing state may not hold much status. A politician may prefer to have less centralized power but hold a very high international status due to the proliferation of their state.


You don't have to like how political figures are taking center stage at Bitcoin events, but you should accept that Bitcoin is for everyone, and it is likely an unavoidable step in hyperbitcoinization.

The bigger the guest speaker at a Bitcoin event, the higher the probability of new people being exposed to Bitcoin.

Separating money from the state is a political action. It was only a matter of time before politicians used it as an election platform tool.

As Bitcoin gains more users over time, the probability increases that some of these new people will align with statist cuck views.

Quite a bit. Similarly to Musk, he owns a lot of critical government infrastructure, such as payments, defense, telecommunications, ect.


Canada's government job sector is growing faster than the population, even with record breaking immigration.

While public sector jobs are growing exponentially, the services are getting worse. Anyone who believes the issue behind poor public services being a lack of funding isn't paying attention.

The Canadian economy is fake, with fake money, fake jobs and fake productivity.

Personally, I'm a fan of Fedimint. Multisigs across a group of people & businesses is a scaling solution I can get behind.

Sure, it technically increases the chances of getting rugged, but the probabilities are minuscule, if structured properly.

Every advantage has a disadvantage. With Fedis, there are risks, but with it comes other advantages, such as privacy and scalability.

The beauty of a decentralized protocol, is that everyone is free to adopt it, in any which way they please.

This hits home


Psy-op-ception


I watched Wanted (2008) and Tenet (2020). I am an expert at curved bullets and object inversion.

What we saw yesterday was neither.


If it was a real bullet that hit him, then yeah, it wouldn't make sense for it to be a fake hit. However, that's assuming he did get hit by a bullet.


I mean, maybe the vision issue is systemic. They only saw one of the shooters who shot at Kennedy 😂


That's a very interesting take. Thanks for that.


Let's hope Trump doesn't hop on any big cruise ships any time soon 😂


It'll be hard to parse through all the possibilities.

It could be a legitimate murder attempt. If so, then was it a deranged person suffering from TDS? A foreign actor? The deep state?

It could all be staged. If so, is Trump part of the deep state?

Then, whether real or not, there are all the media spins that will come from it. They'll try to direct the narrative in any direction that will benefit them.


I don't think it's so much that the deep state now works for Trump, but more so that Trump could be part of the deep state.

We all know where in the middle of an information warfare, with psy-op on top of psy-op.

Would it be far fetched for the deep state to partake in a decade long plan to psychologically subvert the population that is most distrustful of them, by building up the Trump narrative?

Personally, I don't think it is.

Just like I don't believe it to be far fetched that Trump could be a threat to the deep state's power structure, forcing their hand in attempting to murder him.


Same here.


Very interesting video

I'll keep every possibility on the table for now. There's no need to make up my mind on what I think happened, right away.


I'll leave it all open on the table for now. The truth will likely be obvious within the next few years, as we observe what he does.


I see multiple potential scenarios, and am curious as to what people's thoughts are.

1. A crazy person with TDS tried to take Trump out.

Years of propaganda and fear mongering getting to someone's head, until they finally snap.

2. The deep state attempted to take Trump out.

Trump is too destabilizing to their power, and must be dealt with.

3. Trump/Deep State put a fake hit to rile up the base.

Creating this illusion will further empower Trump as the hero fighting against a corrupt system, that he is part of.

Either way, Bitcoin will likely rip, due to this.

Creating this illusion will further empower him as the hero fighting against a corrupt system, that he is part of.


That's assuming his ear was actually hit by a bullet.

If it was, then yeah, I agree.


I slightly disagree on leftists who don't believe in guns. Antifa members have caught multiple times with guns. I'd consider them leftists.

As for a fake hit back firing, I have to disagree. I am almost certain that surviving this shooting will further solidify his voting base. It would only backfire, if it was proven to be fake.

I'm not saying it is an illusion. I'm just wary of all the possibilities.


Absolutely! It's good to change it up. While it was difficult to get back into it, I definitely enjoyed it.

I however have to disagree with the framing that Nostr is a back-up to X.

X is already controlled by governments. They are censoring anything that governments deem as illegal information. Musk has admitted to it multiple times.

This is not a dig at whether they are right or not to remove specific notes on their platform. They are a private company, are  abiding by the legal framework set by the nation states. Nostr doesn't have to abide by any of these regulations, making it the best plan.

It is only a matter of time until X enables cross platform payments. When they do, their platform will need to abide by all the anti privacy laws governments have brought in place.

X, due to it's incredibly centralized nature, is a liability.

I'm not much of an expert when it comes to Hieratic, but I think there could be some good synergy with the Bystial engine.

The Bystials could use the Hieratic light monsters as fodder to special summon themselves. They would also enable a small chaos engine, being mostly dark monsters.

I've been thinking about buying an infrared sauna, to put in my basement. I always loved saunas, but I stopped enjoying them as much when I started cutting weight for fighting competitions.

The last time I played Ocarina was on the 3DS, and they did redo some of the graphics.


Maybe. As long as they keep the essence of what made Ocarina of Time great in place, it'll be good.

I do think there's more room to fuck it up, than to make it better though haha.


I'm still working my way through TOTK. I'm very close to the end. It's been a great experience so far.

Ocarina of Time is still #1. Played it on N64 and 3DS. It's just so good.


They both bought sats and have it chilling on a Canadian exchange (Shakepay). I think Shakepay uses Coinbase as their custodians.

I hope that giving them a seed phrase will be the start of their journey to self custody... But I won't hold my breath for it to happen.


For my friends getting married, I'll give them the seed phrase, and leave it up to them to take care of it. If they lose it, it's on them.

If I was to gift my nephew, I'd write a back up, just in case their parents messed it up.

I think there's a big difference in responsibility between gifting sats to full grown adults and children.


Going to a wedding this weekend. I'll be writing a twelve word seed phrase in the newlyweds' card, containing the equivalent of the dollars I would give them in sats instead.


That's perfect, I'll actually say that next time. The grocery store in my community has the same people working every day. It'll give them something to chat about at lunch break.

I hate the "Infinite growth with finite resources" line.

2,000 years ago, by their logic, resources were more plentiful now than they are today, because they weren't being extracted as they are now. Yet, people were poorer and had much less than they do today.

It's almost as if, the more resources we use, the more resourceful we become.

Regardless as to what people think of US politicians, Bitcoin will be center stage in the 2024 election, and I'm ready for it.


After 20 years of forever wars, growing social decline and exacerbating economic demise, it seems that we are still immune to learning that politicians lie.

Most politicians run from responsibility like a fat kid from a diet plan, and electing an overweight billionaire won’t lessen the White House’s appetite for cake.

Voting for Trump may temporarily muffle the echo haunting that empty space between your ears as you convince yourself to at least have done _something_ to fulfill your imaginary patriotic duties, but it can’t change the moral corruption inherent to US politics – and it sure won’t change anything for Bitcoin.

When your morals can be bought, you are not a patriot – you are a sell out.

Some conspiracy theorist dig into things they question, to find the truth. Others, simply like playing the victim, while pretending to be smarter than the average person.


Morning 🌄


If only two relays are working, then you need to add new ones.

I would also suggest getting a nip-05 address, to make it easier to find your profile.

I found this meme, and it hit home.

Apes strong, to the moon!!!!


A memetic virus

Ha! That's for sure!

I'm pretty health conscious, but I told myself I'd eat anything I see that seems appetizing, while I'm there.


Yeah, I agree. Wallet of Satoshi or Aqua.


Leaving for Seoul in a couple of days. Can't wait to experience the city and its culture. Does anyone know of any Bitcoin businesses in the city?

#asknostr


What client are you using? Amethyst shows views. I'm not sure about the others, as I do not use them.

Another thing to look into are the relays you are using.


PSA Sitch incoming


Interesting. No word or interactions? One thing I've liked, using Amethyst, is the customizable emojis. They add depth to interactions, without needing to use words.


THERE'S NO CENSORSHIP WHEN YOU TAKE THE PURPLE PILL


That guy's a tank


I see four potential avenues at the moment:

1) They made it, to hurt Janet's image
2) Janet made it, to play the victim card
3) Bum bum girl made it, purely out of spite
4) Anon made it, for the lolz

Regardless, I'm here for the show. My wife watches trash Netflix dating and cooking shows. I follow Bitcoin-verse drama.


Nostr is the everything app Elon Musk wants X to become.


Hahaha 🤣


It depends on the country, whether the money is moved domestically or internationally, and the amount of money being moved.


Didn't have to ask for permission either.


I think the inability to shadow ban, censor or de-platform has a big role to play, in people's willingness to speak their minds here.

This also impacts the culture within the community. It creates a culture of resilience amongst the Nostriches, that isn't present on other platforms.

Having no algorithms is also a huge plus. Nothing is fed down our throats, or artificially promoted. If something is popular, it is because it is truly viral.


Somehow, when my wife and I started dating, I convinced her to learn how to play. She's terrible at the game, but she learned.


It's a good smell. Nothing better than opening new Yu-Gi-Oh card packs.


The community is top notch. No one is scared of saying what they truly think. I like the events, like the zapathons and hell threads. The memes are top notch.


This hits home 😂


Didn't Rick and Morty do that episode already?


I thought it was part of the job description?


The 100k Bitcoin meme has already seeded itself in everyone's mind.

Detractors aren't arguing that'll it never happen. They are arguing as to whether it'll happen by the end of the year.

Once the 100k hurtle is passed, the 1 million/0.1m meme will enter everyone's consciousness.

It's only a matter of time.


They are the weak men who pillaged society, that will bring rise to the strong.

Their morality is bankrupt. Their ideas are bankrupt. Their nations are bankrupt.


"Nooo, we're fighting the system!"


Kick ass!


GME? 😂


Bitcoin is the Force. Fiat is the Dark Side.

Yoda is a Bitcoiner. We are all Jedis.

https://image.nostr.build/c839b48f6c926be14367e3e90e0cc62adda2795947191d942e613f6275339167.jpg

All of these quotes hit home.

“You must unlearn what you have learned.”

 “The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is.”

“To be Jedi is to face the truth and choose. Give off light, or darkness, Padawan. Be a candle, or the night.”

“Smaller in number are we, but larger in mind.”

“A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”

 “If no mistake you have made, losing you are. A different game you should play.”

“A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force.”

“I can’t teach him. The boy has no patience.”

“Train yourself to let go of everything you are afraid to lose.”

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

“Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is.”

“The greatest teacher failure is.”

 “In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.”

“You will find only what you bring in.”

“Pass on what you have learned.”

 “In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.”

“Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.”

“Your path you must decide.”

“Clear, your mind must be, if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.”

“May the Force be with you.”


"Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering" - Yoda

I just hope they don't take their anger and turn to the dark side, losing all hope and further drowning into the dark hole of degeneracy.

“The greatest teacher failure is.” - Yoda

Hopefully, they will see the ligh and turn to the force.

“To be Jedi is to face the truth and choose. Give off light, or darkness, Padawan. Be a candle, or the night.” - Yoda


I'm hoping that, once it all blows up, the degens will learn about Bitcoin. Their anger with the system and hopes with GME are just misaligned.


Damn, that's interesting

An opposition MP asked the sitting government why they won't pass a motion that would potentially remove 35 cents per litre of gas in cost for Canadians.

She said, with summer around the corner, many people would appreciate cheaper gas prices to go on road trips to the mountains.

That was his response.

Still have 150 pages left. I've quite enjoyed it so far.


Having access to layer 1 will be a privilege, no question. But the good news is, under a Bitcoin standard, anyone can earn or lose that privilege, based on their actions.

Bitcoin is a proof of work system. There is no equality of outcome, but there is equal opportunity.

We might be called racist, but at least we're not commies.


I'm only in my third year and, to be honest, I hadn't thought about these things much, until Saylor discussed it on WBD.

I have yet to hear a good argument against the points he made. Most of the push back is emotionally based, without much substance.

OPs are the first to trash Ethereum for their "move fast and break things" mindset. Yet, here they are trying to rationalise why "move carefully and build things right" is an elitist mindset...


They're furious because he's right, and they don't want to accept it.

Ours was within that ballpark as well, including the honeymoon, back in 2017.

We married in the officiant's living room, with my wife's sister and husband as witnesses. That evening, we invited friends and family for a dinner.

It cost $1,500 total.

The next day, we flew out to South America and backpacked through Peru and Bolivia for a month. The trip cost around $2,000 for the two of us.

Edit: I also got her a moissanite ring for the engagement

Ditto.


It's the same in my city in Alberta. Garbage every two weeks, but compost and recycling is every week.

To be honest, we barely fill half of the garbage every couple of weeks. There are exceptions, but in general, the compost is typically what needs to be picked up weekly by us.


I was just in Quebec visiting family, and couldn't agree more.


And when it happens, they say: "but it should have happened long ago!"


It's starting to get warm here, but it's always very dry. We'd trade you some dryness for humidity


I like ya both


Alberta is the same. I remember this winter the temperature going from 0 to -40 within two days.

I hope the snow is gone for good for you guys, this spring.


This is an important interview.

I struggle to care about my nation state's politics. It's tiresome, moronic and black pilling.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is motivating, relevant and hopeful. That's why we're winning.

I think everyone should listen to Saylor's message, pertaining the future of the protocol, and think about it critically.

Thank you for this interview Peter. Your discussion gave me lots to think over. I appreciate what you do and your podcast.


I listened to the entire podcast. Rusty is the poster child for ossification. Let me explain…

1. This Isn’t A “Restoration”

For starters, this is not a “restoration” of some long lost functionality blessed by Satoshi that was mistakenly disabled.

At 5:20, Rusty admits that he has no idea why Satoshi disabled some of those codes, but Rusty assumes Satoshi thought they were potentially dangerous.

Was Satoshi worried about the opcodes being dangerous to the operation of the core software? Or to the interlocking social incentives underpinning the entire system?

Rusty doesn’t know and doesn’t even consider factors beyond the memory usage or CPU cycles of the core software itself.

Why the myopic perspective? We find out later in the podcast.

2. Rusty’s Design Philosophy Is Dangerous

At 49:00, Rusty says that he expects this more powerful scripting language will be used in unanticipated ways.

This engineering mentality is suitable for a startup where the stakes are low.

Do you think engineers of nuclear power stations would add a powerful API that could be used in unanticipated ways?

Of course not.

When stakes are high, responsible engineers only enable limited functionality KNOWN to be safe. They don’t add powerful capabilities to “see how people will use them”. They move slowly and cautiously. They err on the side of conservatism.

3. “But First, Do No Harm”

To your credit, you asked Rusty about the possibility that these new powerful capabilities might be abused.

We then learn why Rusty doesn’t consider anything beyond the memory consumption and CPU cycles of the software.

His terrifying answer? He. Just. Doesn’t. Care.

At 51:00, Rusty admits that it will enable people to do more evil things. Not a problem, he thinks, because there are already lots of ways to abuse the system. What’s the problem with adding more?

Rusty doesn’t seem to respect what bitcoin is. He doesn’t seem to appreciate that bitcoin core protects the life savings of millions of people and is our hope for the future.

He doesn’t even fully consider the first order effects, never mind the second or third.

Rusty is dangerous. Clearly skilled, but lacking wisdom to apply those skills appropriately. Paving the road to hell with his good intentions.

He should be nowhere near bitcoin core until he truly understands the significance of what he’s playing with.


If I had to bet, I'd guess you've already finished building it today. If you didn't, you'd still be waiting weeks for the government permit


Looks amazing


Yeah, those arguments are interesting and may potentially be true. Sam Harris makes good arguments for free-will being an illusion.

I think it's more useful to believe free-will exists, but I  also think it's a skill that must be learnt, continuously sharpened and developed over time.

The last few years, I've personally been wrestling with the thought that free-will can only exists with God.

It is a hard thing to ponder as someone who considered himself an atheist. Because of it, I now think of myself God-curious 😂


I just don't think free-will can be, without evil. It's either there is no evil and no free will, or there is evil and free will.


If only there were cryptographic private keys that people could use online... 🤔


"To build the roads" 😂


Same. I've read Sapiens, Homo Deus & 21 Lessons, and enjoyed all of them. I think he has interesting ideas, but has drank too much globalist tea in the last few years.


I don't think he understands the difference between an incentive and coersion.

Oh fuck, sorry to hear. Hopefully it's the last snow of the spring.


That's completely insane.

Typical MMT "low unemployment" economic management in action.


You see... They don't, until they do. And sometimes they do, until they don't.


No, I haven't. I didn't even know it was a thing, to be honest.

Is it good? I think I'd rather keep them separated.

Kick ass!


It's mathematically proven.


Some continuously live in the past and are stuck in the present.

Others only live for the present, never planning ahead for the future.

Then, there are those who sacrifice everything in the present for the future.

It's important to learn from the past, think and plan for the future, while enjoying our time in the present.

While I believe it to be important to lower one's time preference, we have to remember that nothing in the future is a guarantee. All we have is the present moment.

At the end of the day, Bitcoin is the best tool out there for us to store our scarcest asset, time.


That's pretty badass

Separating money and state is just the start.

If you think we can simply assume the reins of these States as they exist today, replace their monetary systems, and that will fix everything then you’ve got rocks in your head.

This whole world order has to go. The parasites have to go. The bureaucracies have to go. Their cult members have to go.

A whole new system built on a new economic order must be built and adopted.

We need 10,000 Lichtensteins. Probably 100,000. Absolute minimalist governments that just do the basics to keep regional societies functional but are so defanged they can’t bring this current system back no matter who takes control.

Bitcoiners will be the new financial elites. Wholecoiners better get used to the idea that they’re going to run shit because the current system is going to come for them if they don’t succeed.

Are you ready to see this through?


Fuck, I couldn't imagine


I don't think anyone is truly ready, but we can prepare as best we can.


I keep feeling we're running out of time with this insanity.


"If you're not long Bitcoin, you're short Bitcoin."

The suits get it.


On a positive note, I ran into a Bitcoin store there. It's a small start to turning things around.


Absolutely. Stone is number one for me, closely followed by bricks, then wood.

Do you mean lying is like being an actor, where you aren't being real. Or lying is an action that you choose to take?


I've knocked out my wife (at the time gf) once, with a right upper cut straight to the jaw.

I had a boxing fight in a couple of days, coming up.  I went to sleep early, while she went out with friends.

When she arrived back, she climbed on top of the bed. I woke up and felt was a presence on top of me, so I threw a punch from my back, and knocked her clean out. She fell in between the apartment wall and the bed.

Fun times 😂


One thing she does often, like all other MMT proponent, is to say "I'm not prescribing how the economy should be. I'm only describing how it works".

I've seen her say this in interviews, but she also wrote it in the first half of the book. In the second half, she starts to prescribe how things should be.


He left a couple of months back, and it was sudden. He said he was going to play hockey, then deleted his account that same evening.


More specifically, the private sector's "savings".

Her book "The Deficit Myth" is very interesting. In the first chapter, she admits that fiat money is backed by the threat of violence.


I think there's a difference between someone who leaves Nostr for another big tech platform, and someone who removes their account because they want to quit social media as a whole.

It was my friend's bachelor party this weekend. It was by far the best one I've ever been a part of.

Friday night, we had a potluck, made a bond fire, then layed down on a golf course and looked at the stars for hours.

Saturday, we alternated between cold plunges in the mountain river, to laying in the natural hot springs. Played some Mario Kart in the early evening, before making another bond fire.

Sunday, we drove through the mountains, to make our way back home. Saw a massive grizzly bear, mountain goats and white tail deers.


Holy shit

It snowed again today. While I enjoy snow in the winter, I'm beginning to get a little tired of it. I'm ready for the bright sun, blooming trees & flowers.

I finished my Nonna's eulogy for the funeral next week. I'm pretty happy with it. I want people to remember her as the badass she was. She was a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother, but also an adventurer who left everything she knew to make a life in a new world, and a pioneer who built a city from scratch.

Finally, I caught up to all the work I missed last week. There are still few things that need to be completed, but it at least doesn't feel like I am drowning anymore.

My wife started prepping dinner early this morning. That's when I know it'll be a banger. I look forward to it!

He is a healthy, charismatic and very well spoken guy. Those are the magic ingredients for people to blindly assume everything they say is smart and the truth.

He had Saifdean on to talk about Bitcoin, but honestly, I don't think Saif had a performance. In my opinion, he's not the right person to orange pill people like Konstantin.

The episode right after, Mike Green came on Triggernometry. Of course, Green appealed to every emotions Konstantin had, and doubled down on thinking Bitcoin is bullshit.


I met a guy named Frieza, and told him all about it. He thinks it's pretty cool.

Honestly, if your body is feeling wrecked, it does take away a lot of pain and soreness. It's worth the 10-15 minutes of discomfort.


I remember, back in my days, when we walked to school uphill both ways, we'd take ice baths without filming ourselves.


Very mucho impressive


What's up with the influx of people posting videos of themselves taking an ice bath, thinking it's impressive?

What's everyone's definition of the word Faggot.

Mine is: douchebag + pussy = faggot

It's one of those words that I don't know of anyone who uses it as a derogatory terms towards gays.


Potatoe, potatoe


I'm pretty sure people with "higher caloric needs" are individuals who are physically active, and I can guarantee their groceries don't look anything like this.


It's very telling, when the government supports certain protests, but shuts down others.

It's very interesting, how many who's gripes are supported by the government believe to be fighting the system, while also opposing others' protest in unison with the establishment.


Good. We wouldn't want people to be exposed to dangerous ideas, and have unsafe thoughts.

They also pretend homeschooled kids never leave their house.

Mamma Mia!


Airport security came to me for questioning, because their Intel supposedly saw me exchange my bags with someone else. A few minutes later, they confirmed they had bad intel and apologized. The way they talked and were dressed, they looked like the Turks from FF7.

There's a 18+ version of the movie coming out this summer. Snyder says it's the true vision of it, so I'm just waiting for it to release before watching.


Thank you. She had a good run. Two months away from turning 99.


Riposa in pace, nonna.


I'm just guessing, but I think it's to avoid dead money. Meaning, them adding liquidity to a wallet, but that wallet being inactive for years. Than liquidity would be sitting there, collecting dust.


Nice! I remember watching it years ago, but don't remember much about it.


Love South Park. Which episode?


It's too late here... I meant to comment about climate change, but it doesn't make any sense 😂

I'm going to bed.

I haven't noticed, but I'm curious. What are the signs of porn addiction?


This hits home 😄


That's super cool


Absolutely. I use "high achieving" with a tongue in cheek.


Oy! Got a permit for those posts?

From my experience, the high achieving educated white collar people think they are too smart for Bitcoin, because they fall prey to the idea of economy management. They know they are more educated and have a higher IQ than the average, and believe people like them can manage money better than the free market on its own.

It's literally the bell curve meme.


I wouldn't be surprised if his real estate portfolio increased his allocation to beach front properties, in the meantime 😂


The government wants it as an ETF. They know they can't stop it. Their best hope is for people to see Bitcoin as a rare shiny rock, not money.

The ETF, to me, was always an inevitable memetic counter attack.


Makes me wonder... Is beach front property turning into a shitcoin 🤔

"I'm thirsty, but the water stinks here"

"Come over here dude, the water from this creek is pristine."

"Wow, would you look at that, it's amazing! But did authority inspect the creek to make sure it's safe for consumption? Do we know no one peed in it? Clean water seems too good to be true. I hear criminals drink out of it. Maybe I'll stick to my stinky water for now, and see how things turn out here later"


All you can do is lead a horse to water. You can't force them to drink.


I like your knife


I don't mind being public about certain details of my life and identity. I only share what I'm willing to share.


Jason Lowery has hinted at it multiple times as well.

Heck, we see so many videos of people using lasers to cut down trees, metal, ect.

Why is it so difficult to realise the same technology can be used from space?


Sounds like Gmail and Facebook are botphobic. Not very inclusive of them.


Sounds like a banger of a discussion. Will listen to it tonight.


Sounds like a very decentralised system, when it can be sued and fined by regulators...


I'm not a basketball guy, but that was slick!


Theirs is backed by violence & coercion.

Our money is backed by force & cohesion.

This is why we will win.


His right hook doesn't look snappy, but it looks crazy heavy, like a goddamn truck


Yeah, I think it's the best way to go. The biggest complaint I hear at the moment from the school system, is the number of kids per classroom.

An education credit system would allow for new opportunities for both students and teachers.

Students would have more education options. Different types of learning environment, programs, ect. While teachers would have more job opportunities, and flexibility in the way in which they can educate.

I think the biggest barrier is for the kids with shitty parents. How do we guarantee that their education credit isn't being used for their parents' drug habits, for example.

The only solution to that problem that I can think of, is to only allow the money to be used towards accredited programs. However, that then opens the door to more government regulations as to how education should be done.

Overall though, I think it's a better system than what we currently have in most place. So even if there are hurdles to figure out, I'd rather move in that direction, than continuing with the current structure.


Game Theory is how I am able to train the goalies I work with, to stay ahead of new goal scoring trends in hockey.

If A, then B. If B, then C. If C, then D.

I remember years ago, we were preparing our athletes to stop this one play called "the Michigan". It's when players behind the net scoop the puck on their stick, then wrap it around the net, above the goalie's shoulders.

People used to make fun of us, thinking we were wasting our time, preparing the goalies to stop a situation they never face in a game. Now, it's something that occurs almost weekly in very hockey league.

I think that especially now, with information moving so much faster than before, having a basic understanding of Game Theory is crucial, if anyone wants to compete in their own market place.

If new strategies catch you by surprise, you'll always be chasing and reacting, never having time to settle down and think things through.

If you can think a few moves ahead, then you can be prepared for when the new strategies are exponentially deployed.


Big tech typically follows one another's business plan. I think you're right.

Will they make anonymous accounts illegal, or will they simply burry them? I'm not sure.


don't believe everything you think.

He is missed


Got on the earliest flight to Montreal. I rushed to make it to the airport on time. I barely made it.

I've now been sitting inside the plane for the last three hours in the lot, due to a brake issue. If I took the much cheaper flight that was leaving later, I'd be in the air right now.

They wouldn't let me switch flights, even if there was room on the other plane, due to "security reasons".

Fuck Air Canada.

Tribal states, to feudal states, to nation states, to Network States.


Of course not. They'll give themselves the option to do it, but they won't. Just like governments with sketchy provisions in bills.


I just don't understand why anyone would want a car that the manufacturer can choose to shut down, if they wish.

Imagine buying a house with electric locks, that the builders can lock you out of.


Kick ass, have fun!


Grandma is at the hospital. She only has a few hours, days if she's lucky, left on earth.

Catching a flight across the country to go see her. I just hope I can make it in time.

I have a 16 hour work day today, and I'm actually enjoying it.

I've been jacking myself up on coffee and listen to cyberpunk lofi all day, while crushing it.


Sats looks good. I wish I could halve a little Bit.


I didn't know that.

It's kinda insane, in a way, that I'm not even surprised the government would do such a thing.


Ditto.

Quality of calories > quantity


Been there, done that. Was amazing!

Typical dog lol


GM☕


It got warmer as it went. When I finished, we were up to +3.

I think the pizza tasted better from the run haha.


Thank you !


I'm a halfie. My dad's side of the family was fresh off the boat, after WW2.

Yeah, I was lucky to be ingrained in it early by my dad and hockey. I was always active at a super young age.

It's good gyms are more mainstream. It's just too bad most people don't know how to properly train, and how the majority of trainers at these franchise gyms are shit at their job.


Tell you what, I can get you a halving exclusive ape. Those are super rare.

Only 5 BTC.

You might as well put on ski mask with how good of a deal that is.


Halving exclusive jpegs, probably 😂


Wanna join my super cool and exclusive ape yacht club? It only costs 10 BTC, unlike all the other scammers out there.


I like potatoes too much to go full carnivore. I try to go meat/fish > potatoes > veggies > fruits.

Today, I went all carbs. After running a half marathon for the halving, I ate two 12" inch pizzas with a meat lasagna. I feel like garbage now, but I don't regret it!

I'll be back to my regular habits tomorrow.


What are you thoughts on calories in & calories out?

Part of me thinks it's bullshit. I don't see 1,000 calories of meat as the same as 1,000 calories of bread.


I think part of the problem with these types of people, is how they do not hangout with fit and healthy individuals enough, so their perspective is skewed.

For example, when I see old friends who are chubby, it will be at events. We'll have a dinner, a kid's birthday party, ect. So they'll see me eat food I usually don't eat, and wonder how I don't look like them.

They don't see me working out daily. They don't see me typically only eating between 2-7pm. They don't see that I typically only eat food that can be killed, plucked or picked. No preservatives or package foods.


"Fasting is so hard, I don't know how you do it" is what they often say. Or "I don't understand how you eat so much, but don't get fat".

Meanwhile, they don't realise fit people workout daily and eat good the majority of the time.


I've noticed many of them don't think fit people ever eat any junk food either.

They also are always trying out new diets.


Nah dude, you'll be fine. It's a free speech platform. Elon said so.


Okay there Dr.

Proof of Work

Happy Halving everyone!

I can't say the 21km run was fun. My right hip started hurting 5kms in. My brain kept telling me to quit multiple times after the first 10kms.

I'm happy I pushed through and got it done. I'm enjoying a nice big glass of water now, waiting for my pizza to be ready.

I love you all, have a great weekend!

Without JPEGs on the timechain, how else will people be able to join my exclusive ape yacht club?


Happy halving day


Where do we sign in? I gotta leave in anout 10 min anyway. I gotta go do the half marathon run for the halving.


Prepping up to run the half marathon for the halving. My body gets wrecked every time I go for long runs. I'll have to do a good 30-45 min mobility circuit before getting it done.

It's -5 outside today. Definitely much colder than I was anticipating it would be in mid-April. If it doesn't warm up by the time I leave, I'll have to run in a winter jacket, which I less than ideal.

I decided I'll reward myself with pizza after. I am looking forward to it.


I think it's cooler because there are no algorithms propping up your content. People follow you because they find you interesting.


Got this one for Christmas.

That's pretty evil

My wife is away for the next four days. While I will miss her, I look forward to enjoying four days of cleanliness and order at our house.

I was wearing shorts yesterday, but this morning it's snowing 🥶


I like Peter. From what I hear, he's very nice to everyone he meets, and actually believes what he says.

Unfortunately, I think the reason why he doesn't get it, is because he's retarded.


Buenas noches amigo 🌙


It's no surprise that people who extract value have a body that reflects their gluttony.


It's interesting, I never really noticed. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen many if any fat fortune 500 CEOs. I have however seen many fat politicians haha


It's what plants crave!


I see it more as a sign of discipline and choice.

When I first moved out, I could barely afford groceries, so I ate eggs and veggies everyday for a couple of years. All I did for workouts were circuits with 25lbs dumbbells.

Some people will eat shit food as an excuse for not having enough money. Others, will use the excuse of not having a gym membership as to why they don't workout.

Then, there are the people who have money but aren't physically fit under the pretense of "not having time". Yet, when they were stuck at home during COVID, they got fatter while they had more time on their hands.


I'm sad, one of my nostr frens deleted his account... I just realised today, after realising I hadn't seen him post in a couple of days.

If it was an account on Instagram or Twitter that I followed and commented on, I probably wouldn't have cared.

There's something about Nostr that's different.


👀 Holy Matty Davis!

Any VPN services you would recommend above the rest?


Blue control to Blue control seem right.


It's true for all aspects of life: everyone and everything's greatest strength is also often its greatest weakness.
