Listened to Michael Saylor on the nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk podcast. It's 3 months old, but sheds some light on the ARK funding story.

https://youtu.be/_QN0RcQFf6w

TL;DW: Saylor strongly believes in *OSSIFICATION NOW*. From that POV, protocol development is a liability.

Some quotes (and thoughts)👇

"You only get to play God once. And Satoshi played God. And you can say 'well Satoshi got to do it, why can't I?' Well the answer is Satoshi did it, the reason we're talking about Satoshi is 'cause the other 100,000 would-be Satoshis failed. If you read the history of the world, work your way through 10,000 pages of Western history, there will be thousands and thousands and thousands of episodes of 'alpha male thinks he was put on this earth, you know, to change everything', full of hubris [...] he's gotta do more, change more, etcetera.'" (53:34)

"Bitcoin Core developers, or protocol developers, they want to fix something, or they want to make a contribution, because it's in their DNA, but developers are just the lawyers of cyberspace. When a lawyer shows up at the capital, they gotta make a law to save you from yourself, and the more laws they make, the more they cripple the economy, until eventually there's so many laws that the entire civilization collapses under its own weight." (58:06)

"The world is full of people that need something to do. I would say, the real key to wisdom, channel your energy constructively. If you're gonna do something, improve Lightning, build an application, persuade someone to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset, educate someone… these are all constructive things. Destructive, dilutive, distractive things are: fight with random people 'cause they want to fight with you, attack the core network and make it confusing and introduce anxiety, and confusion and fear, uncertainty and doubt into the base layer. Right? And then attempt to imprint your ego, you know, on the base protocol, you know? Like, 'I gotta introduce this so my name will go down in history forever'." (2:38:55)

My view: it's understandable to want Bitcoin to behave like the granite under Manhattan (his analogy); a solid bedrock that never changes. Especially if you truly believe Bitcoin will take over the world as SoV-only and "there is no second best". But IMO this is wishful thinking. While I agree it's near-impossible for an alt to overtake Bitcoin, I do think adoption could stall.

Luckily, Bitcoin isn't really a natural element. It's spontaneous order, more like language. Hard to change and no one can dictate changes, but if market wants it to change, it can.

Furthermore, despite Stephan asking a few questions in that direction, Saylor mostly failed to distinguish between protocol upgrades and general software maintenance.

Arguing against any hard/soft forks is one thing, but Bitcoin Core 26.0 can obviously not last for centuries...

Having said that, Saylor is of course free to not upgrade anymore and stick to Bitcoin Core 26.0 for as long as he lives.

Maybe, it's definitely in the realm of possibilities.

It could also be that one person said something, then the next one called them to discuss, and it spread quickly like anything like that would in a small circle.

They all know each other and probably talk within their "influencer" circle often. Things can spread fast.


Where else does truth come from?


I like all of them. They've all had a positive influence on my Bitcoin journey.

Maybe egos are getting a little too big?


Well done 👍


Great message, thanks Jack


Thanks for your insight Jack.

I find it frustrating when I have what I perceive to be a lazy day. However, I accept that I can't be 100% productive 100% of the time. To be at your optimal best, rest is required at some point.

At the end of the day, if you're the type of person who is bothered by unproductive days, you're the same type of person who will make up for it in the future.

All this short is missing, is Jagmeet kneeling underneath JT's desk


Honestly, this is why I refer people to Lyn's book instead of Saifedean's.

Yeah, Keynesianism is retarded, we all know why. But the way Saifedean explains the issue comes across too opinionated and bias, to convince any fence sitters. Lyn brings much more balance and nuance to the conversation.


And that's not counting all the money spent of shitcoins


I got triggered this morning at an Alberta politician who talked about price controls on alcohol. I spent 10 minutes writing him a letter, and sent it.

Part of me thinks I was being too much of a dick. The other part of me thinks I was too soft on him.

---

Dear Mr. Nally,

I am writing to express my concerns regarding your recent remarks on the sale of 4-litre vodka containers in Edmonton.

As someone who does not consume alcohol, I understand the apprehensions related to the potential health risks associated with alcohol consumption among Albertans. However, I find your comments on "responsible pricing" particularly perplexing.

What truly differentiates purchasing four 1-litre bottles of vodka from a single 4-litre jug? Consider the possibility of an individual preferring to buy a larger quantity less frequently to economize over time. Should the government have the authority to regulate how Albertans choose to consume products?

There's an argument to be made for government intervention in public health matters. Yet, if this rationale is applied uniformly, why not consider restrictions on other products like poisonous 4-litre canola oil containers, which also pose significant health risks and financial burdens on healthcare? And what about sugar consumption? Should there be limits on purchasing candies in bulk?

If your stance extends to these areas as well, I would acknowledge the consistency in your logic. However, I do not appreciate your lack of concern for personal freedom of choice. It is disappointing, though not entirely unexpected, that a political figure might believe their perception of what “responsible” consumption should look like, is morally superior than the peasants’ they govern. Freedom of choice should obviously be reserved to high IQ bureaucrats, not the plebs.

Please enlighten us Mr Nally, what is the “responsible cost” for a vodka product? Perhaps, you could share your insights on how such prices should be determined, particularly given your likely lack of experience in production and distribution of such product?

Additionally, how do you view the "responsible pricing" of items like poisonous canola oil? Is this adjusted based on the producer or is it a standard rate? Moreover, does this pricing model account for potential supply chain distribution challenges? I realize my tone might come across as snarky, but it stems from a place of frustration with retarded commies.

You’ve commented “We’re not looking to get in between the retailer and the consumer in any way. We won’t be setting floor pricing”. However, you’ve also said “I don’t think that it is responsible pricing to price it like that”, “If this bill passes (omnibus red-tape reduction bill that clarifies you have the authority to set liquor prices), then this is exactly the type of thing that I will look into”, and “I can’t forecast what will happen down the road” about the explicit authority to set liquor prices.

I struggle greatly in respecting morons in governments who believe to know what’s best for others, and attempt to control pricing in a free market. Especially ones who’s title is literally Minister of Service Alberta and RED TAPE REDUCTION.

Thank you for your time and consideration of these issues.

Best regards,

Nic

I think rental housing makes sense for people who travel to certain places often, and may find it more beneficiary to own a home there than renting.

While going back and forth, between their two homes, they can rent it out on Airbnb as a way to make a bit of extra cash on the side, instead of having it sitting there doing nothing.

Haha! It was the first thing that came to mind after my chat with him.

The scam meta, for technology adept people, at the moment revolves around altcoins and meme stocks. But I do wonder where it will evolve towards in the future.

I'm assuming it'll revolve around a technology we won't be familiar with, so I think brain chips might be where it's at.


Me too. I have a sardines stash in my pantry that I always keep stocked.

Cool, I'll message them directly, thanks!

I haven't really thought about a main audience much. I have to do the work anyway, so I thought I might as well stream it and see if hockey people would be into it.

This is what the report looks like when we send it in to organisations: https://evolutiongoaltending.substack.com/p/scouting-report

The stream would just be me watching games and clips of the goalie subject, and taking notes to prepare writing the full report.


Good show today. I caught up to it this afternoon, while walking with my dog.

I'm thinking of streaming myself doing scouting reports on NHL goalies. It's niche, but maybe some people would be interested in watching.

I access Nostr from my phone through Amethyst. I'll need to do so from my desktop to stream on zap.stream . Alby requires a code now. Would you happen to be able to send one my way?

I agree with that. I am looking at doing it at my house. For Canadians, I'd recommend looking into Jouleport. They engineer and install miners for home heating.

Doing it would double my electricity bill  in dollar cost, but I'd be turning a profit if I was to sell the sats I generated from it. I obviously would just hodl.

If I was a home builder, I'd 100% look into implementing a mining system into my new builds.


But they won't be mining past the heat they need to generate for the greenhouses, while public miners will.

If a public mining company has a very low cost of energy, lower than the tomato company, they'll outcompete them in pure mining.

In this example or a similar one, I don't see a producer of goods locating themselves by a volcano with limited transportation routes for low energy costs, while pure miners would.


Strong counter points. I lean more in that direction.


It's hard to gage where the meta will be in a decade, but it's a possibility

Narraception 🌀


Yeah, the tax laws around Bitcoin are ridiculous. If I transfered my Canadian dollars to USD, I wouldn't be taxed if the USD gained value against the CAD. However, with Bitcoin, every time I transact, I'm supposed to keep track of the BTC value in CAD? Ridiculous.


We have squirrels around all winter long. My dog goes crazy when he sees them, almost every walk.

I noticed the wild bunnies have their coat slowly turning grey from white today too.


Thanks! I'm excited, it'll be fun.


That's a good question. I'm not sure, to be honest.

They've always hid in the shadows, when funding the raping and pillaging of society. What happens when their actions are seen as clear and obvious by everyone? Can they even function in the light?

Regardless, we won't bend the knee, and we'll be ready.


No, I don't. I only focus on the task at hand, when I'm on the ice with the goalies. I will gladly discuss Bitcoin and other things unrelated to hockey, if they bring it up themselves.

I do casually mention Bitcoin when discussing payment methods. We process cash, cheques, e-transfers, and BTC.

I've had parents and goalies ask me in the past about Bitcoin. Typically, they'll message me privately asking for my thoughts. Only one so far went down the rabbit hole. He pays me through lightning now.


It's confirmed, I'll be going to Korea in June. We'll be running goalie camps and development sessions for coaches.

Are there any Bitcoin businesses in Seoul that I should go check out while I'm there?

While I dislike many of Yuval Noah Harrari's politics, his book 21 Lessons For The 21st Century gives good insights for what's to come in the future.

One point he makes, is that authoritative states will evolve and take new forms that are hard to initially perceive as tyrant. For example, government today use authoritative measures through the guise of "inclusivity".

They enact hate speech laws that attack our language. They censor information rails, to attack our communication channels. They cut off banking access, to attack our financial safety.

Many aren't willing to admit our governments are tyrannical, because their fascist immune system isn't seeing gas chambers or gulags, because that's what they expect it to look like. They don't understand how these violent ideologies adapt and evolve to survive. Some know it and support it, but that's another discussion.

I don't think the enemies of freedom will kick the doors in, and take out the Bitcoin devs. They'll instead attack Bitcoin by controlling information, finances and language.

They'll continue pushing the ETF or to hold in exchanges, instead of taking self-custody. Good legal citizens don't need to hide anything, only criminals need to use UTXOs. If they can have Bitcoin turn into a shiny useless rock like gold, then it is no threat. Their goal will be to control the narrative as to what Bitcoin is: "It's only property, it's not and can't be a currency".

With their infinite money printer, they could attempt to buy all public mining companies. Slowly accumulate a majority of the hash power. Then, use their majority position to fork or control blocks.

With hate speech laws now being the norm, the next step could be to enact new "dangerous code" laws. With hacking becoming more prominent, I could easily see a push towards limiting what is permitted, when it comes to software.

Anyway, the point is, forget the gas chambers and gulags. Sure, these things could always happen, but it more likely they will attack Bitcoin through subtle means, that many won't be able to perceive as truly tyrannical.


Would you look at that, eh? Uncle Sam is a confirmed Canadian.

Why am I not surprised the far-right doesn't care about child safety?

First, an eclipse could blind students who stare at it for too long, without proper eye protection.

Second, most drunk driving incidents occur when it is dark out. During the eclipse it'll be dark outside. Do you want the kids to be at a higher risk of a drunk driving incident?

This is why the school is taking the proactive step of cancelling buses, due to the increased chances of drivers drinking and driving.

Lastly, the darkness outside will require the school to turn on more lights indoor, increasing the electricity usage. This will draatically increase the CO2 released in the atmosphere. In 100 years, this could have a devastating impact on the students.

Ask yourself, are you dealing with objects of the world, or objects of the mind?

#cybersecgirl


In the grandiloquent tapestry of contemporary discourse, one might venture to expound upon the multifarious permutations of existential paradigms, wherein the quintessence of philosophical inquiry intersects serendipitously with the ostensibly immutable principles of quantum entanglement, yielding a cornucopia of speculative conjectures that, upon closer scrutiny, unravel into a labyrinthine vortex of semantic vacuity. This veritable mélange of esoteric jargon and metaphysical verbosity, whilst ostensibly imbued with the semblance of profound sagacity, essentially circumnavigates the substantive nucleus of cogent discourse, thereby engendering an ambiance of intellectual grandeur that, paradoxically, culminates in the articulation of notions that are conspicuously bereft of intrinsic merit or pragmatic utility. Thus, the endeavor to embellish one's rhetoric with the accoutrements of highbrow lexicon and abstruse theoretical postulations, in lieu of fostering enlightenment, invariably precipitates into an exercise in futility, epitomizing the quintessential paradox of endeavoring to manifest profundity through the mere proliferation of convoluted verbosity.

Why booties > boobies

While boobies are nice, they do not signal fitness level. A lady could have nice boobies without being physically fit, but cannot have a nice bootie without working for it. If a lady has a nice bootie, there is a higher likelyhood that she will have nice thighs, core, ect.

Value however is subjective, so what is considered a nice bootie, boobies or physically fit, is up the beholder.

It's definitely worth it. I legally barely pay anything in taxes each year. The only way to do it is with a company.

Having it at your house would enable you claim a ton of your regular expenses as tax write offs.

I decided to it was time sell my BTC to ETH throughout the bull run. While riding the wave up, Ethereum will give me a 5% yield through staking, while Bitcoin doesn't.

I'll buy back when I time the market perfectly, by selling at the top and buying the next bottom.

That's an alpha move right there 💪


This morning when walking with my dog, the temperature was -4 celcius. This afternoon, after my two cups of coffee, it was +4 on our second walk. I learned my lesson.


Had two cups today, sorry everyone!


You're spot on. That's exactly what my flat earther friend says.


My business partner is a flat earther. He's a genius when it comes to coaching hockey, I would classify him as the best goalie coach in the world. Yet, he believes the earth is flat.


I worked as a newspaper boy from the ages of 11 to 14. I was able to pay for my hockey equipment and registrations, as well as schooling at a private institution.

Had minimum wage regulations been in effect, there is no way I would have been able to get that job.

The commies' bleeding heart of a "fair wage" would have taken away my ability to play sports as a young kid and to further my education.


Interesting, I didn't know they had graphene oxide, that's pretty crazy. Was it in the boosters only, or in all of them?

Yeah, I think it makes sense that it would accelerate cancer in individuals.

From the beginning, the jab defense strategy didn't make much sense to me, starting with giving it to people while in the middle of a pandemic.

My knowledge of genes is limited to the book The Selfish Gene, so I'm not that well versed in the subject. But it seemed that by vaccinating people in the midst of it, there was going to be an obvious acceleration in the virus' mutation.

Then, because of the COVID jab's strategy of fighting the virus through spike proteins, it was going to make people much weaker to the mutations.

It's like being a MMA fighter who trains in striking only, because their opponent won all their fights standing, not realizing their opponent has been adapting by focusing on their submission game. If that makes sense...


Same here.

The thing about Bitcoin is, studying it can be taken in multiple directions.

You can study Bitcoin by learning about history, economics, money, technology, philosophy, ect.

There aren't many other things that are like that.


I would add Onhockey.tv for anything hockey related.

It's my daily wallet. I quite like it. I don't think I have any complaints at the moment.


The Biden administration proclaimed a new Transgender Day of Visibility to be on March 31st, which happens to be Easter this year.


Hockey > Basketball

Not even close.


Have fun!


Absolutely.

It is just incredibly disappointing, when the leader of the free world attempts to farm online outrage.


It looks malicious to me, in order to create more outrage.

1 whole month of recognition isn't enough AND they place it on Easter? Seems sus to me.


I respect Beggs for wanting to compete in the male division, instead of the female one. It's too bad the kid got caught up in a media shit storm, when he wasn't at fault for the wrestling division he was forced to compete in.

However, Mack would get crushed in a fight against Jake Shields, it wouldn't be close. Even if Shields doesn't prepare for the fight, he'd need to get a stroke in the middle of the bout to lose.

Never liked him when I was on Twitter. He's an outrage farmer. I have little respect for people like that. It doesn surprise me he doesn't get it.


As someone who works with athlete, from the amateur ranks to pro, the physical differences between males and females are incredibly massive.

I think it's very telling when certain groups cannot be made fun of. It shows that we perceive them as different than the rest. We should 100% be able to ridicule the ridiculous.

We should be able to differentiate between people who happen to be trans, and people who are completely unhinged. For example, a trans woman like Blair White compared to the GameStop "it's ma'am" dude.

It's sad to see how many people will go against their intuitions, and walk on eggshells when approaching certain subjects.


Jealous. It's still snowing here.


Words are kinda magical in a way.

Laws are written with words and are casted in the world. They are like spells that people are bound to. Heck, even the judges dress like wizards.

Watching the Vegas v Winnipeg game. Barbashev scored a one-t backhand goal, insane!


I had a contingency discussion with my wife about the possibility of 1 mil this cycle.

Regardless as to whether it happens this cycle or the next, it's only a matter of time.


What the foot?


I don't think it's okay to say it at someone, but I think it's okay to say it when discussing the word itself. Even then, I hesitated for some time before deciding to post it.

It's such an interesting word. Some people cannot bare seeing or hearing it. Some use it as a slur, others use it as an endearing term. Some refuse to ever say or write it.

I don't think there are any other words in the English language that are as polarizing as the word "nigger ".


I worked with Freddy Halyk too, another goalie on Denver.

Between Matty and Freddy, one could potentially be a NHLer and the other is a bust.


NIGGER, BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WORD I HESITATED WRITING.

No one wants to buy when it drops 80%, it's too scary. When it goes up, those same people are bitter and call us "lucky".

I love the price pumping, but I do get sad a bit, knowing I won't be able to see my BTC go up as much.

It's like seeing your kid move out of the house to start their life. You know it's inevitable and you're happy for them, but you still wish you had more time.

Why are everyone's panties in a bunch, here?


To be fair, hers was too. Instead of enjoying life as a regular kid, she became a tool for political power. She was abused, just in a different way.


I think KYC played a role, but wasn't the core issue. Monero wouldn't have been able to defend itself against it either.


Trust me, being a Canadian, there was nothing more embarrassing and scary, than to see how many of my neighbours are straight up fascists.

I haven’t dug deep enough in what happened with the Bitcoin influencers. It’s something I will have to do soon. If you do have links for me to check out, please feel free to send them my way.

Honestly, I do not fault them, nor do I believe it was a bad idea for everyone involved to retreat. Based on my observations of the events, I don’t think any person within the movement understood how far the state was willing to go. I think the perspective going in, was to create enough political pressure across the country from the protest, to have the government backtrack on their authoritative health measures. Unfortunately, the state did not want to play ball, and started a war. I think everyone was ill equipped to fight that war, because no one thought the state would take it that far. It is why I think retreating was the best course of action, this time around.

We learned a lot from the events, which I hope will ready us to bring the fight back to them soon.

It is obvious they will continue to use the media to propagate false information. The corporate media narrative is not something we can control, but we can mitigate it, knowing their playbook. Some of us knew they would use agent provocateurs to portray the movement negatively. Unfortunately, not everyone knew this at the time. Now, this is something that can be strategized around in the future.

Politically, it was a mistake to let one of the political parties attach itself to the movement. All it did was muddy the waters as to what the movement’s alignments and goals were. It is something a minority of the organizers understood early, but unfortunately the majority didn’t.

The biggest lesson learned was how the government could use financial weapons to attack us. The cat is now out of the bag. Defending against a financial attack is the hardest problem to solve. Bitcoin, not Monero, is the best tool to fight back. While I respect the Monero protocol, it is not the answer.

The issue we ran into with Bitcoin, was the exchanges not allowing the transition from sats to dollars. The truckers were not able to buy food and gas with bitcoin, and needed to exchange sats into dollars to do so. Monero wouldn’t have made a difference in that regard. If anything, it would have been more difficult to exchange than Bitcoin.

Centralizing the bitcoin transactions to the protest organizers wasn’t a good idea either, as it made it easier to block off the exits. While it was a tactical mistake, I think things happened too quickly for a better strategy to be deployed.

The choke point wasn’t the KYC, in opinion. The choke point was the need to exchange sats into dollars. Without that need, the bitcoins could have been used to support the protest indefinitely. This is why I strongly support BTC Session’s leadership in bolstering a circular Bitcoin economy within our city, and I hope others are doing the same elsewhere. If the bitcoins can be transacted P2P for tangible things, then the KYC issue doesn’t matter. The state wouldn’t be able to use their agent Smiths to kick in everyone’s doors. If the BTC is sent to one centralized wallet, then yes, they can.

I don’t even believe Monero could have helped around the KYC problem. Even if the exchanges allowed XMR to dollar conversion, the fact that the wallet held all of the donations would have been too obvious. If everyone was told to donate with XMR, the state would have known and simply would have waited for a big bag to be converted on an exchange, to know which wallet was theirs. While Monero has private transactions, it doesn’t have enough liquidity to hide the exit. The only way to defend around this, would be to transact P2P with XMR. At this point, mass P2P crypto transactions would be much easier to accomplish on wide enough scale with Bitcoin than Monero, mostly due to its stronger memetic properties.

To enable better P2P, not only do we need to grow the circular economy, we also need to continue developing tools to facilitate it. That’s where I hope people like Booth come in. I hope the experience showed him how important it is to accelerate software development. I hope he is doing everything he can through his Ego Death Capital fund to develop defensive softwares, that will facilitate P2P transactions and protection of funds.

Everyone has their role to play in this. We need influencers to grow the community. We need developers to improve the user interface. We need Monero people to pressure Bitcoin to accelerate privacy on the secondary layers. We need people to keep the community honest by critiquing its leaders and plebs. We need everyone to step up. It’s the only way we’ll be able to push forward.

I think retreating was the right move, then. But next time, the only course of action will be to go forward.

As a Canadian, I'm curious as to what your take is on the trucker convoy.


It's the current year


Been telling my friends and family with kids the same.

If one of the parents speaks a second language, then sure, teach it to them at home while they grow up.

But instead of sending the kids to a french or spanish school, get them to learn computer language.

Language is just a communication protocol. You want them fluent in the most popular language networks.

If you're already an English speaking family, why spend time teaching them Spanish when they can learn coding? It'd be akin to them learning how to use Cardano instead of Bitcoin.

While attending the SAT Market in Calgary this weekend, I met someone who put together a Minecraft server that uses Bitcoin as it's native game currency.

Players can use sats to trade value within the ecosystem, using the lightning network. The sats traded on the server are P2P transacted from one wallet to another.

I don't play Minecraft myself, but if anyone on Nostr does or has kids who do, check out Sovereign Craft.

Indépendance.

As far as I can remember, I've always enjoyed doing my own thing, on my own terms.

I wanted to go to a private school for a better education and play high level hockey. My parents didn't have the money for me to go to a non-public school or pay for the goalie equipment. At the age of 12, I got a job as a newspaper boy, got up every morning at 5am, and delivered my clients their paper by 6am. I paid for both my schooling and hockey.

Funny enough, while I was a kid, I cared a lot about my education, but by the time I hit high school (grade 10), all I wanted was to skip class, which I did constantly. I found school incredibly boring and useless. I think that's when I realized that I loved education, but hated school.

Bitcoin gives me financial independence. No one can take it away from me, and it goes whether I go. With it, I am free.

I'm most excited about how Bitcoin is changing people's lives for the better, opening new opportunities that were not thought possible before.

My wife and I have always wanted to start a family, but never felt financially able to support it. Bitcoin, in a short time span, has paved the way for us to do so.

As an added bonus, we don't need to worry about our money being stolen or confiscated by anyone. As someone who's government perceived them as a "far-right extremist", it's nice to benefit from Bitcoin's security and decentralisation.

Fuck them.


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.


"For the safety of our electoral process and to protect democracy, we must put on hold the next election. There's too much at stake for Canadians to be confused with all the misinformation, malinformation and disinformation we are seeing online.

With climate disaster looming, far right extremism on the rise, and Russian propaganda being shared across platforms, we worry about the safety and well-being of Canadians.

To quickly return to normalcy, we will evoke the Emergency Act as a way to fight back against the extremist movement. This will enable the government to take the necessary steps to normalise and bring civility back to the political discourse."


Trust them bro, nuclear war now if a much better alternative than what will happen 100 years from now with warmer weather.


You don't understand, the job is just very hard, which is why he thinks about quitting everyday, but he doesn't.

He's just too resilient and focused on the mission. He's a winner and winners don't quit. He knows what Canadian need, even if it may seem unpopular. People just don't see the big picture.

In 100 years, when we finally see the positive results of the carbon tax, Trudeau will be seen as a hero.


I'm torn on Poilievre. Part of me wants to believe he's legit, but I see too many red flags popping up.


Meanwhile, they'll continue to say: "bUt YoU cAnT eVeN bUy CoFfEe WiTh BiTcOiN"

I buy mine from Wildcat Coffee, located in Cremona Alberta. They accept bitcoin as well.

It feels good to find more and more merchants accepting bitcoin as payment.

Something I ask my leftist friends all the time is "would you be okay with killing or putting someone in jail, if they refused to abide by the policy you champion?"

For example, if someone refuses to pay for your abortion program, universal healthcare, national daycare, ect, would you be willing to ruin their life for it?

I know that if someone steals, rapes or kills another person, I have no problem with the state using force on them. Fuck those people. But I have a real big issue with putting individuals in cages for refusing to be coerced in funding something they don't want to.

My pleasure. If you end up reading any of them, let me know what you think.


Depending on what you're into, here are a few I'd recommend:

Why Nations Fail - lots of history on what has made different civilisations succeed and fail.

The Sovereign Individual - transitioning from different societal stages (hunter & gathering, agriculture, industrial, information), and how each stage moves faster than the last. They foresee digital currencies and the collapse of nation states.

Softwar - military history, power projection theory and the kinetic power of Bitcoin mining.

The Deficit Myth - if you're interested in learning Modern Monetary Theory and how the government views spending.

Starship Troopers - a fictional story with themes revolving around the role of citizens, responsibility and government.


I listened to it while working out. I must have missed that line. That's hilarious 🤣


Congratulations!


Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

There was a guy who spent 10,000 bitcoin on two pizzas.

People thought he was crazy to do that. But it’s seen as the first time bitcoin was exchanged for physical goods.

We do it because no one can stop us.

While I do enjoy seeing the province growing, I hope that Alberta being thought of as Canada's Texas helps keep the wrong people out. There's too much potential here to have it wasted.


That's look pretty good!


At the moment, yes. Honestly, if it wasn't for Bitcoin, we'd likely be thinking about relocation.

Being in Alberta definitely makes things a bit more bearable. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else in the country.

My sister moved to Ontario. Their taxes are much higher, and so is the rest of her cost of living.

I just use my lightning wallets as I would a physical one. I don't keep more than 300,000 sats on it. If I lose it or if it is stolen, it would suck but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. I use my wallets as spending money to buy stuff from merchants who accept bitcoin.

If the wallets were to be used as a way to stack sats, until it is a meaningful enough amount to hold in a utxo on the timechain, then I would get a self- custody one.


I always start my days with a booster. You can never be too safe.

Amethyst is an awesome client, compared to the alternatives, in my opinion.

The only feature I can think of, that I think would be very valuable to add, is the ability to upload PDF documents.

It was an honor meeting you! You're a pioneer of the sport. To me, you're in the same bucket as Chuck, Couture, Hughes, GSP, ect.

The sport wouldn't be where it is now without people like you, especially women's MMA.

I first saw you fight in Strikeforce, and followed your career ever since.

Crazy to think you've been doing this for almost 20 years. I don't think there are many people, either male or female, who have fought on the biggest stages in the world for that long.

Exactly. I'd double check on my explanation, as I may be wrong, but I think it's close enough.

As someone who lives in a democracy, I think I prefer the republic model. I think it has better checks and balances in the distribution of power.


Take it daily #Bitcoin #nostr https://image.nostr.build/805e6e82f88dce15edbab9eab98c68165af54d6d233f7dfa3be0fb3cd8f86ab7.jpg


I'm not American, so I don't have a horse in the race.

From my foreign understanding, the electoral college aligns better with the philosophy of a Republic better than the philosophy of a Democracy.

Without the electoral college, the popular vote would win each time, which would create an imbalance withing the Republic, where the denser populated states would have more power.

At least, that's how I understand it.


I think the problem lies in how the terms no longer represent a philosophy, but stances on issues.

Being a "liberal" or "conservative" now means you agree/disagree on specific issues.

When reading older political books, liberal and conservative were more aligned with philosophical ways of thinking.


Honestly, I don't even know if we need to "break" the rules. I think we're just choosing to play a different game altogether.

Are you breaking the rules of football, if you decide to play hockey instead?

The fiat system has its own rules that we don't like. So we chose to play under a Bitcoin system, that has its own set of rules.


It's something I've been thinking about lately. What does a modern day bank run look like, compared to the past?

Previously, you could physically see the bank run occur, in real time. Now, the line ups are happening digitally, so they might be harder to notice.

Physically --> easier to notice, but slower to materialize due to physical constraints (having to see a bank teller)

Digital --> harder to notice, but faster to materialize due to software (login and a move money quickly)


I honestly kinda hate how the term liberal, now means leftist.


Let's go! 🚀


It'll be very hard for the average person to be a whole coiner, moving forward.


I honestly really enjoyed it. A lot of the main character's development and decisions throughout the second part were based on discussions from the first movie.

Funny, he how can't use gold to transact P2P over the Internet.


I guess it depends on which subsection of the altcoin and fiat influencers they are part of.

There are some fiat influencers who believe in free speech, but stick to fiat because they believe in system reform. I could see them do well here.

Some altcoin bros are just very opened minded to a fault. They can't help themselves but chase the "newest idea", always looking for something better. They'd be fine here, I think.


The crypto bros need the engagement algorithms to sell their shit coins. Without it, they can't pump their bags. They will be the first to come, but the first to leave.

You are what you believe.
Your choices are birthed from what you believe.
Believing the truth sets you free.
Freedom is your options relative to  adjacent possible.
The adjacent possible are those accidental and intended options available to you relative to your field of action and context.

Therefore, what you believe becomes your life.
Do you believe what's most true about yourself?
What do you believe about yourself?

If what you believe makes you less free, is it still true?

If what you believe draws you towards a vision of Heaven in your life that you really want that also increases your intimacy with reality and God and yourself and certain good people, then it is probably true, and you are probably becoming more free.


What else would people use as a morning alarm?

I was having discussion with my wife two nights ago, about the surveillance state transitioning from ctv cameras to car cameras.

Why have obvious static ctv cameras in everyone's faces, when you can have invisible 360 degree moving cameras on sleek modern cars?

Robotaxis will be the best tool for surveillance, next to our phones.

Thinking of giving out these orange candies for Halloween 🎃


Let's expand the concept further. Any time as see kids setting up a lemonade stand on the road, we should make it a habit to stop and offer to pay in sats.


That's awesome!


Why so bearish?


I think I'll use this strategy for every kid that knocks at the door in the future.

Now that I think about it, in the summer, when kids are up lemonade stands, I'll approach it the same way. I'll tell them I don't have cash, but I can pay them through lightning.

We got a big snowfall today. Two kids just knocked at our door, offering to shovel our front path for $5. I counter offered them, to pay  12,000 sats instead ($10-ish). They both thought about it and agreed.

They downloaded WoS on their phones, I showed them how to write an invoice, and sent them 6,000 sats each.

Their response: "Woah, cool! We've got Bitcoin!"

Can't wait for them to realise their $5 of SATs are worth $10 soon.


I have no idea what's going on. A tldr would be greatly appreciated.


"consumers are under pressure, let's get them sick from eating sugar as a meal in the morning AND evening now."


alt I don't know what we're yelling about


The concept aligns with Musk's vision for an "everything" app. He wants to centralize ownership/control/access to a broad spectrum of information.

Through X, users now gain full access to all modern communication modes, including private voice and video calls, private messaging, and public posts and discussions. All key forms of modern communication globally, on a single platform.

The introduction of payment features is obviously coming soon. This functionality will allow users to hold, receive, and transfer funds within their accounts, giving X insight into their financial dealings alongside communication data.

With the expansion of Starlink, I'll bet that X will soon offer users worldwide satellite internet access, extending Musk's data oversight to encompass online activities of X's user base.

Should Tesla achieve full autonomous driving, it could dominate with the largest fleet of robotaxis. Tesla's cameras could then serve a dual purpose: facilitating urban mobility and monitoring urban dynamics, effectively turning "eco-friendly" electric cars into a new form of surveillance. CTV cameras are too obvious, and static. A sleek mobile computer with full 360 camera view is a much better surveillance tool.

Musk doesn't call himself the TechnoKing for no reason.

This is why we need Nostr to succeed. By offering a competitive alternative to X across all functionalities, Nostr is the tool we need to fight and win against the centralized powerhouse.

In this episode with Lyudmyla Kozlovska, we discuss how democracies are weaponizing bank accounts & financial data, as well as her efforts to defend Proof of Work in Europe against a possible ban.

Lyudmyla has had her bank accounts frozen and her colleagues have faced kidnapping attempts for defending dissidents. Powerful story.


Thanks for everything you both do 🫡


Learning how to think is the best skill to acquire, in the information age


GM 🌅


I coached on the Brooks Bandits (4 years) and Olds Grizzlys (6 years), in the AJHL. I've also coached on multiple U18, 17 & U15 AAA/AA teams.

The bulk of my time is spent doing private development with goalies of all ages and skill level, through my company. We work with goalies who are brand new to the position, and guys who play in the NHL.

My business partner and I also do a lot of consulting for teams/organisations. We help minor hockey teams put together development plans for their goalies, and we construct scouting reports for teams looking to draft/trade/sign goalies.

Start


I wish I could. I have to drive everywhere in the city and surrounding areas. Where I am right now is directly in the middle of those multiple locations.

My favorite day is Wednesday. The drive is only 7 minutes from my house, and the rest of the day is some through video calls.


Was sitting in the dressing room with a few coaches. It got quiet and one of them asked "so Nic, are you still doing Bitcoin?".

It's starting.


I test drove the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4. I lean more towards the RAV4 at the moment, but I did like the Honda as well.


I'm leaning towards the RAV4 at the moment. It isn't as fun to drive as my GTI was, but it's smooth and chill.

In Alberta, I have to drive in snow weather a lot, so the AWD is nice to have.


Staying humble is already quite difficult, and the party hasn't even started yet.


GOOD MORNING 🌅


The sophisticated part of me thinks cheering on the inevitable rise of the Bitcoin price, dominated in fiat, is boring. But the degen in me can't stop playing the Pump It Up song, on repeat all day long.

I'm thinking Japan. Why? I don't know.


100% agree.

My wife, then girlfriend, stayed with me when  I quit my job and started my business. Back then, I went from a safe salary to making $300 per month, if I was lucky.

Bills were hard to pay. For a year, we lived off eating boiled eggs and veggies. We both grinded hard at our jobs, in the hopes of succeeding.

10 years later, my business is doing great, we're the best in the world at what we do, and we're trying for kids. She's my ride or die, and I can't wait to bring more Bitcoiners to the world.


One day you won’t even notice when the price moves 60k.

How do I know?

I made my first buys at $200 and now I don’t notice when the price moves $200.

You really think you’re going to notice an intra day move between 2.68MM vs 2.62MM?

Trust me… you won’t.


Agreed. That's why I only hang out with Bitcoiners and Nostriches.

Kick ass, have fun


Was gonna continue buying more, but my car broke down... Gotta get a new car now. I'll be back buying when it's over 100k.


Wouldn't want anything to do with that.


What's a "sell"?


Yeah, the goaltending development has been decelerating, while the players' has accelerated. The coaching isn't nearly as innovative as it used to be. Goalie coaches are too preoccupied with gimmicks than real technology.

The average SAV% in the NHL has been on a steady decline for the last 5 years. It's on pace to be below .900 by the next two seasons, if it stays on trend.


I'm getting BROtox today. My wife is applying for a new job, and needed a model to inject. I can't wait to see if I'll look like a young lizard by the end of this.

Sadly, I'd argue the players are outpacing the goalies in development, right now.


My favorite thing to do, while walking my dog at night, is to peek into people's houses through the window, to see what they're watching on TV.


YOU CAN ONLY SUMMON HIM THROUGH TYPING IN ALL CAPS!


My car is having issues again. Might be time to start shopping around, considering it has 330,000kms driven on it.

Any suggestions for make/model I should be looking at? I'm looking to keep it around 20,000,000 sats.

I drive a lot, so I need something reliable that handles well in snow weather. Preferably a hatchback to fit hockey and camping gear in the trunk.


UTXOs have been consolidated. Feels good to get it done!


Good luck, kick ass!


Hi, I'm Nic.

I love being home with my wife, dog and cats. Kids are hopefully coming soon.

In my free time, I like to read, listen to podcasts, walk my dog, play games, and workout.

As for my career, I've been a goalie coach for more than 15 years. I love my job, I wouldn't trade it for anything else.


I enjoyed the Banksy exhibit when as were there.

Hi from Alberta


It's pretty good, but I also like Top Gun and Spiderman Into the Spiderverse's soundtracks.


The Bitcoin signal will soon be reaching out to the stratosphere, above all.

I kinda feel bad for people like her who find something to be angry and miserable about, all the time.


Crushed it.


We all have our niche things, at the end of the day. I like to watch competitive Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments on Sunday evenings. I could use that time to write or read a book, but playing Yu-Gi-Oh myself. But I enjoy seeing what the best players of a game I love can do.


It's kinda funny. I make a living from coaching hockey, which is only possible from having people watch others play sports. But I don't watch sports myself.

I don't understand sports fandom, but bless them for allowing me to do what I do.

It's physically possible, I don't see why it wouldn't be. However, I don't think it's practically doable. If that makes sense?

Also, it depends on what we mean by "spinning". Are we talking a couple spins, or multiple spins while maintaining the same point of contact like figure skatera do?


I don't think so.

The hockey skates' are optimized to change direction quickly, with tight turns and stops/starts. The blade at the toes is rounded, and is shorter than a figure skate.

Figure skates are optimized for smooth skating and balance. They have a pick at the toes, to maintain the same point of contact, when spinning.

We needed to order another batch of journals for our goalies. I'm quite happy with the new redesign.

Love that song


I've been playing around with Muun, Pheonix and WoS.

WoS is the easiest to use and works really well. It is my favorite of the three.

The way I see it, it is like having cash in my wallet. I carry enough to be able to make small purchases. If someone steals it, it'll suck, but it won't be the end of the world. If WoS rugs me, then I won't lose sleep over it.


It hurts me a little, I do like Superman.

Got my 15th mRNA booster today. I'm feeling as healthy as can be.


Before the future is lit only by the flames of war.

Before you have police, politics and torture chambers,
and squares and parks are unsafe places,
unsafe places to walk among trees and flowers,
and in cafes you have to speak in low voices,
and write your thoughts on the walls of toilets.

Before it becomes unworthy to be a farmer,
before gardens and parks are forbidden after 6pm.
before there was censorship, letters were opened, and letters don't reach you,
and there is a curfew,
forbidden meetings without permission,
street groups,
and dancing,
and kisses.

Before a mother writes: Mr President, please tell me where my son is being held? a month ago,
before there is a secret police and secret money for the secret police,
and before the television says nothing,
nothing in the press,
and nothing anyone,
except the organizations that were born then.

Before you're not worth living within yourself,
because you have lost the last corner of the world where a person can look like a person,
before you disintegrate,
you become deformed,
you fall apart,
you disappear,
you become stained,
you get dirty,
you rot,
before you become filthy.

I want to take this opportunity to say your name one more time freely, without pity or disgust...

Sunday poem, inspired by "el niño de elche".


No, to be honest, I don't feel like it's appropriate for me to discuss Bitcoin with the goalies. If they were to bring the subject up, then I would happily discuss it with them. If they don't, then I have to use the time they pay me for, towards achieving their hockey goals.

I do accept bitcoin as payment, and offer a discount if they do. Unfortunately, I only have one client who pays me in sats, but I'm sure it'll grow over time.


It was pretty surreal experiencing two of our students win the Stanley Cup last season. Now, we get to experience one of them being the best goalie in the NHL.

I coached a goalie, now the GM for the Blackfalds Bulldogs in the BCHL, who's name is Adam West. He always had a Batman logo on his mask.

So far, my favorite hockey crowd is Vegas.


Image and Darkhorse are awesome. My dad was a huge McFarlane fan, when he came on the scene with his Spiderman run. Our house was full of Spawn comics, when he founded Image Comics.

I know Marvel has one available as well. I just haven't used it.


Is winning a PoW or PoS mechanism?

I'd say, winning is a proof of work mechanism. To win, one must accomplish a goal within the established rules set forth by the network. Once completed, the network verifies and validates the results, to ensure others recognize it as valid.

On the contrary, claiming victory in a debate solely due to self-proclamation reflects a proof of stake mindset. This approach disregards objective criteria and relies heavily on assertions rather than actual achievements.


How high does the Bitcoin price have to go, for bitcoiners to start their own movie studios?

If I had to guess, streaming most likely changed the business model. Spending multiple years writing and producing a good movie probably doesn't make any financial sense for them, anymore.

The optimist in me thinks we have a golden age of movies, right around the corner, due to AI. It's only a matter of time until we'll be able to create movies from our computers by ourselves, just by inputting prompts into the software. Creative people will crush the Hollywood pedos when that happens.
