 You know you’re at a Bitcoin co-working space when this is on the wall in the phone call booth @SpaceDenver

 what's the story here? 
 Stay humble and stack states #Bitcoin  @ODELL https://m.primal.net/MDIW.png  
 i find the best business names come from "i had this domain lying around" 
 Excited to share what the Mutiny team has been up to. We lifted the core of the Mutiny wallet and put it into a tool that can bring privacy to all the apps in your pocket. #opsec #privacy

 Mutiny team announcing new stuff today. Stay tuned.https://m.primal.net/MBAX.jpg  
 I got bacon on my burger today. #Bitcoin 
 What happens when the ETFs open in the morning? Does Bitcoin dump prior to open to come down to their level or does Bitcoin rip upward as they scoop up sats to come up to the new market price? 
 All of a sudden we're at $81k 

😆 
 On the way up or down 🫠 
 Unpopular opinion: Feel free to sell some #Bitcoin if there is a big purchase that improves the quality of life for you and your family. Really, it's okay.

Else, keep stacking. 
 I see people over analyze. "Yeah but that house I bought 4 years ago would be worth X amount in Bitcoin." But you also provided a stable home for your family and created memories. Bitcoin is a tool, use it. 
 If you don't have anything worth trading them for, keep them 🫡 
 Yeah that’s a great approach that I personally find effective. Some people don’t have the resolve for that. 
 We're all getting new laptops #Bitcoin 
 Good idea, keep using it if it works! 
 As we’ve seen, the policies and cultures of political parties ebb and flow over the years. It’s better to bind yourself to family, friends, and community than to large political parties.

Ask yourself: who will be there to help when times get tough? 
 No way I wanna get unexpectedly rolled by those boys in a back street. 
 LMFAO AT SUITS NEEDING TO WAIT FOR MARKET OPEN TO BUY THE ETFS 
 And they taking the day off tmrw lmao 
 We appreciate the love and support. 🤙 It's a bittersweet moment to read this note. You're right that the vision is still alive and well with other options. Alby Hub is awesome!

We're announcing some cool stuff soon that will enable 1,000s of other "Mutiny" type projects in the future. The core that made Mutiny Wallet possible will be available to all the apps in your pocket. 
 Kamala Harris today: "It's okay to be disappointed. Please know it's gonna be okay."

Kamala Harris 48 hours ago: "This will be the end of democracy if we don't win." 
 Instead of being famous for 15 minutes, the goal is to have privacy for at least 15 minutes. 
 If Kamala Harris wins the election, do you think they strong arm Biden into resigning/use the 25th amendment on him? She takes over immediately as president and can start doing things during lame duck session before Jan 2025. 
 Oh…my 
 First female president, regardless of the election outcome. And have a person who can actually work a full day get some things done. 
 I’m not advocating for it, but given how much they have publicly shown their disgust for Biden as of late, I could see them doing this. 
 What if she loses? Still do it and give her First Female President crown for two months? 
 Good points 
 @Max you see Ron Paul teaming up with Elon if Trump wins? 🥹 
 Summary of the two US campaigns

Harris: Hitler, Abortion, Joy
Trump: Legal immigration, Health, Reduce Government Waste 
 People often ask me "is it worth investing my time in nostr?"

IDK IS IT WORTH BREAKING YOUR FUCK... 
 I mute all caps. Did I miss anything important? 
 When flying, I close my laptop as drinks are served just in case there is a spill. Today a Bloody Mary splashed on my laptop. Easy to wipe off the lid of the computer and smile at the flight attendant that it's "all good, accidents happen", instead of being frustrated with a dead laptop and dealing with how to get the airline to possibly make me whole. Small acts of preparation can go a long way to making life smoother. 
 Who said I'm using my laptop for urgent matters? Maybe I just want the biggest screen while I watch the Bitcoin chart pump 🧡 
 Nostr makes free speech anti-fragile. 
 Twitter is full of people praising Elon for keeping free speech alive. I think the accolades are deserved, however if one man can save it, one man can take it away. https://m.primal.net/LnDc.png  
 My favorite feature on the AirPods Max is the auto-off feature. It doubles as an auto-on, which means when you take them out of your backpack, the battery is dead.

Apple's "solution" for this is to use the carrying case, which is cumbersome and creates more physical waste than just allowing us to press one of the already existing buttons on the device to turn it on and off ourselves. 
 Silly isn't it, especially for a $500 consumer device that does one thing. 
 Spent the day in San Francisco. Much cleaner than my last visit. They must be making an effort to improve it. 
 The hardest part of making a mobile app for your web service is feature parity. For any large scale web offering, it’s near impossible. Talk to your users, observe them in their work environment, and prioritize the features that are uniquely valuable on mobile.

For the rest, make sure your web app isn’t broken on mobile web and punt to that. 
 Having an API for third party devs is great too as it allows small groups of people to get their pet feature built out on their own. 
 At our high school swim meet on UT campus this morning. There were technical difficulties with audio for the national anthem, so the crowd broke out in song together. There is an incredible energy with thousands of strangers from different backgrounds, political leanings, and economics all standing and singing in unison about the common goal of American values. 🤘 🇺🇸 

There are difficult times happening, but let’s be bullish on humanity. 🫂

These next months are going to be a wild ride. 

Wish us luck. 
 Congrats!

 What a difficult time. Sending prayers and love your way. 
 In 2023, more than 350 million people had their data exposed in data breaches. That number is already higher in 2024. On average a company incurred a cost ~ $5 million to deal with the incident. https://m.primal.net/LfmV.webp

 My wife was asking a question in ChatGPT and it rattled off our kid’s name/age as part of the response. She’s officially creeped out. 
 We’re working on ways to bring the concepts of self-custody to AI and all the other apps you use on a daily basis. Stoked. 
 Read this note if you’ve had your personal data exposed in a hack this year. 
  @tyiu I have the NostrKit org on GitHub that I'm not using. Do you want it? https://github.com/NostrKit

 Today is #Zappy21st. Every month on the 21st day, find open source builders and zap them. Join in!

I’m (finally) listening to @JeffG ‘s interview in May with @ODELL on @CITADELDISPATCH about Privacy. Great discussion and recommend listening to it. nostr:note1r6yhevg4s5npktds9kwl4wsca3yfxnsurrjn7u8gp8cc9w2y0k6sqjfdm6

 Blastr lives on for the foreseeable future. 
 What’s another good blastr relay? 
 Blastr is still running. No plans to shut that down. 
 Money was raised pre-seed. We’re still working with the investors and the new product ideas will be in the freedom technology and privacy space. Strong alignment with investor philosophy. 

We’re extremely grateful for the people who believed in us. 
 Would be amazing to see a community instance of Mutiny Wallet. 
 Close your channel and the funds will end up in the on chain wallet. Then you can send them to any on chain wallet. 
 You can run Mutiny on a @Start9 instance if you’d like. 
 Thanks for the words 🧡 We want to keep that going in big ways. 🤘 
 Good feedback. Thanks. 
 Wasn’t due to politics. 
 Nope 
 We’re working on something. We’ll reach out. 
 My son, take this musket and never disgrace it; for remember, I had rather all my sons should fill one honorable grave, than that one of them should turn his back to save his life. Go, and remember, too, that while the door of my cottage is open to brave men, it is eternally shut against cowards.
