Denver has a solid group of bitcoiners. We hung out tonight in Nashville after the conference for a last minute meetup. Get ready to add @SpaceDenver to the map of Bitcoin citadels. Each one makes us stronger 💪 https://i.nostr.build/7gkgyFJuUHTvr4He.jpg
They’re playing Dasha “Austin” and then Beyonce “Texas Hold ‘Em” before Trump comes out.
Austin is the Bitcoin capital.
@ODELL confirmed it during SXSW 2024 and now it’s confirmed here.
2 conf is good for me.
Energy usage is tightly correlated with standard of living. @gladstein Keep spreading the word about Bitcoin and its ability to fund the buildout of energy production and connection in underserved areas around the world. #Bitcoin2024 https://i.nostr.build/e8Yh7VIM3KPSBoho.jpg
Remember we had a sitting Supreme Court justice and a Democrat leader in Congress recently state that Trump has committed treason (punishable by death) even though he was never charged nor convicted of that. Did they cause this? No. Did they immaturely, unprofessionally, and unnecessarily raise the temperature in our national division? Yes.
Companies utilize infosec “best practices to minimize data theft. Here is an example of a hack that is awful but could have been worse if AT&T was more careless.
We need solutions that provide better user privacy so hacks on this scale aren’t even possible.

Most financial advisors gained their experience in the last 20-30 years. These are times of a dollar without gold backing and a fed that actively keeps the stock market afloat. Probably don’t take gold seriously.
In addition, to seriously acknowledge gold or bitcoin would be an admission that the system isn’t functioning correctly.
For them the system is performing perfectly. It goes up every year on average and they’ve made lots of money. They’re less affected by the negative externalities of the system like difficulty to own a home or rising grocery prices.
(I suspect financial advisors reading this on Nostr are not part of the generalization I just made.)
I’m always down to learn more and refine understandings I’ve gained over the years. Sounds good.
It’s kind of dick to tell someone they are being willfully ignorant when you don’t know anything about that person. I’m clearly not, if I’m willing to engage in a conversation about complex financial topics as they apply to unproven technologies and admit when I need to go back and refine my understanding. Quite the opposite of your assertion.
I still listen to your show and am a member of the MSB.
Yeah. I confused the two concepts because they share similar symptoms of bank run potential.
It appears I unknowingly jumped into the middle of a bigger discussion/argument and tried to contribute without knowing the full background. :)
Thanks for keeping my terminology in check. I’m a big fan of Fedimints and am continually trying to play out their vulnerabilities and attack vectors so we can find ways to solve them or at least make people fully aware.
