 10/10 night.  
 10/10 night at the pubkey. TJ Millers scarfs stole the show.  
 Now I understand how my grandparents felt when they stopped backing dollars with gold. EFLTFs and their paper bitcoin is going to be a war. Imo, the demand for physical bitcoin will be unmanageable in a couple few months once normies start to understand what they are not buying.  
 Since Dec 24, 2023 six (6) more countries have joined BRICS. Fourteen (14) countries have submitted applications to be included in 2024. The removal of Russia from SWIFT had little to no impact other than showing other countries that SWIFT can be used as an economic weapon against its own member states. Tick Tock Nxt Block. What does the future hold for the current world reserve currency?  https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_2011890080615086171704450205.webp  
 Banks doing bank things. 

Surprisingly, none of the 14 existing applicants for these ETFs have taken steps to offer on-chain proofs

 I need to look into how to use Nostr better before it's too late for me. https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_5546516487841152071703945057.webp  
 I woke up thinking. I really need more bitcoin. We all need more bitcoin. Stack more sats.  
 That's how they get you. The perfect prison is one in which the people don't realized they are enslaved.  
 I just discovered the Fountain podcast app. This apps UI is pretty cool. Easiest way I've seen to reward creators with value for value sats. What podcasts are you listening to? https://fountain.fm/zipzappzopp 
 That show is sick. I had to take a break after the "Welcome to video" episode as I lost all faith in humanity after that one but I just picked it up again. Breakmaster cylinder has some good beats too.  
 Banged out a big btc plaque today on the cnc. Big learning curve from zero but we are getting the hang of it. Merry Christmas everybody.  https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_7352082103406907461703376535.webp  
 Finally got the Cnc working. Made a small project to test it out and now I'm workingbon more intricate bitcoin designs in hardwood.  
 I love these cards. Alladin has done such a great job with them. We have some packs arriving next week that I'm going to attempt to not open until next years unconfiscatable conf.  
 20 tons is what we call drug trafficing. https://t.me/bitcoinandmarkets/6085 
 Bitcoin is for everyone. But the current tools for self custody aren’t. So we set out to build ... 
 I like the spend limits. Prevents a full wallet drain. Is it using bluetooth to communicate to the phone? 
 What do you think of Muun?  
 Point taken. Thanks.  
 Thanks.  
 Tough lesson. I had already setup Muun and tried to zap 100 sats. Going to cost me 7400 sats to send 100. Ugh.  
 I always had a feeling I was not like most individuals. #privacy  
 You're not suppose to say the quiet part outloud.  
 I feel safer. Please take my liberty. Take it all. So safe.  
 A month later and the new CNC still doesn't work. I was so ex ited to build and carve out new bitcoin related products but it appears Im going to hage to return this whole set up. Very disappointing.  
 After all these years I've finally been able to see it correctly. Very cool experiment.  
 I finally received my new cnc machine. What should I make? It's 4'x4' so it can hold almost anything. https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_5495520176354257461696421098.webp  
 Do you drink your coffee black or with sugar or with milk or both? 
 Black and sometimes with a shot of expresso.
