Last month we sold 365 BitAxes and made our own mining pool for solo miners.

Little did we know that we where the only solo-pool based in Europe, which makes our pool the lowest latency, zero fee mining pool around. We are currently at 50 TH/s of pure pleb mining.

To various extents yes. Obviously there needs to be a way to liquidate the loan, but there are many good approaches. Firefish locks your collateral in 3-of3 a multisig with liquidator (see their protocol documentation, it is open). Liquidation oracle has pre signed transaction to the liquidator, so the oracle can't sell it or move your coins anywhere else.

Another approach is through futures, there are also many options, you control your risk appetite vs convenience. For example with 10101 you get a DLC channel. In both of these you see your coins in a UTXO, so you can verify at all times it's not moving (Celsius was gambling with user funds).

Another option that would work is taking the other side of stablesats channel. Not sure in anyone tried that.

Also note that the alternative is selling your sats, which is the ultimate loss of custody.

Thinking the big thoughts this morning ✨ GM


I had the honor to interview María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, about how fiat money was weaponized against the Venezuelan people by the Chávez and Maduro regimes

She says Bitcoin is a "lifeline" and "vital means of resistance" and said that a future democratic Venezuelan government will use Bitcoin to rebuild the national reserves that the Chávistas stole and put Venezuela back on a path to peace and prosperity

I've put out a lot of content in the past few years but I think this is the most important thing I've done -- the implications are vast considering a) Venezuela is one of the world's largest energy exporters with some of the world's largest oil reserves and b) María Corina Machado is not some rogue leader or dictator but a US ally

I hope you can watch 🇻🇪

Came here for the comments 🍿


Sometimes I find myself wondering what could have been if I had only bought more Bitcoin when I first stumbled upon it. If only...

Then I remember the ICO, DeFi, and NFT craziness, and how I lost money shitcoining like a fool. I’m actually grateful that I didn’t buy more initially because I would likely have lost it all, and that would have hurt so much more.

Now, after falling down many rabbit holes and (un)learning so many things, I’m stacking like a psychopath and have a deep appreciation for #bitcoin

Nothing can stop us. Onwards!


I've just published the draft NIP to bring highly secure DM and group messaging to Nostr via the MLS protocol.

I've been studying this space for months now and after looking at a lot of different options, MLS (messaging layer security) stood out as the right way to approach solving DMs and group messages. It's highly scalable, an internet standard, and allows for graceful upgrading over time.

Done right – this NIP allows us to build extremely secure, uncensorable messaging clients that have no centralized coordinators or servers. Which is what I plan to do next. 😉

First up, I want to recognize that this is an uncomfortable topic!  Bitcoin is inevitably changing towards user-pays, and that's not all positive.  But facts we don't like are still facts: can't engineer a solution if we can't think about the problems.

There are three kinds of bitcoiners.
A. Those who can afford any fee.
B. Those who can afford a UTXO, but not often.
C. Those who can't afford a UTXO.

Nobody worries about the A group (and in the early days, that was everyone).  Obviously Lightning (my area!) caters to the B group, and we want it to be as large as possible.  To do this we can (1) make lightning as resiliant as we can so onchain spends are rare, (2) make bitcoin as efficient as possible so we can cram as much as we can into what we have.

(1) Making lightning more resilient and reliable is engineering.  Lots of people working on this, even before we get soft-forks which could help further.

(2) More efficiency has two benefits: obviously if your own onchain spends are 20% smaller, that's 20% cheaper.  But if *everyone's* onchain spends are 20% smaller, that means fees are lower *for everyone* too (and it's non-linear).  So we really care about all Bitcoin usage!  Some things are obvious wins: Taproot so you can avoid even putting the script onchain in many cases, FROST so you can cram your 2 of 3 or other scheme into a single key and signature.  We know we want to get more aggressive with sharing one signature across multiple inputs (Cross Input Signature Aggregation), but that needs a lot more research, and a soft-fork.

But even with all these, the math is clear: some people, even if you somehow gave them their wealth in a UTXO, it couldn't afford its own fees to spend.  The C group is real.  Spoiler alert: we don't have an answer for this!  But let's look at some approaches people have tried.

Firstly, there are attempts to move these people into the B group: give them long enough that maybe fees will reach a point they can afford.  This seems unlikely to me:
1. As fees increase everyone will start doing the work to take advantage of low fee times, and that itself means that low-fee times won't be so low.
2. These schemes tend to increase onchain footprints, so they need fees to drop a lot to overcome that (typical is 2x the transaction size, so you need fees to halve to gain anything).
3. If you really can't afford the fee, you probably also can't afford to wait.
4. You still haven't actually dealt with those who really, really can't afford the fees.  Ever.

Another suggestion is that someone (e.g. a lightning service provider) will lock up funds which would cover fees, in case something goes wrong.  This doesn't work economically, because nobody is paying $100 for a $5 user (not at scale), but it doesn't even work mathematically: the reason some people will have small UTXOs is because there are not enough sats for 10 billion people with any realistic distribution.

There are two basic approaches left:
1. Group people, so they fall into the B category (i.e. onchain tx is possible, but expensive).
2. Trust someone, but rely on incentives.

1. Grouping people is possible, but they need to work together if somenthing goes wrong.  So grouping inside a community is probably better than grouping with randos.

For example, there are various tree-of-transaction schemes where you go onchain only if the coordinator fails/goes rogue, and how much it costs you depends on whether anyone near you in the tree pays to get themselves out.  These are basically free if nothing goes wrong (one UTXO required for thousands of users!).  But this is subject to ghettoization, where the coordinator makes sure all the C people are grouped together, knowing none of them can afford the transactions they need to get their funds back.  It's particularly bad because the coordinator can insert its own fake "whales" to make it look like it's not ghettoized.

You can play with incentives here, too: more research needed.  The details matter!

2. Relying on incentives.

As a simple example, lightning-connected e-cash mints.  They can't rug individuals very easily, they have to rug everyone together (or go fractional and rug the last ones to exit).   Maybe with enough anonymity and reputation, these would be Good Enough.

More ambitious would be a single UTXO held for multiple people by a coordinator.   Can we make it so that if a coordinator is dishonest, you can force them to burn your funds?  Maybe burn more than your funds (ie. a bond)?  Won't get your money, but it aligns incentives so they're not motivated to rug you.  The details here really matter!

There's a cute scheme which has been proposed where the coordinator pays a temporary bond, and asserts that they actually have everyone's signature to transfer the funds.  If nobody challenges within a week, they get the bond back and the funds move.  If someone challenges, all the signatures are put onchain, and if they're not all valid, the bond gets half-burned and half-given to the (successful) challenger.  This is hard to make work, though.  Someone needs to get the money to challenge (hard if you don't have the money in the first place, plus it's hard to prove to someone you *didn't* sign something!), and then make sure nobody gets the challenge bond before them (in particular, a dishonest coordinator, seeing the game is up, completes the successful challenge *themselves* and gets half their bond back), and make sure someone can't grief and delay the settlement indefinitely or bankrupt the coordinator.

More research needed, here, too.

Summary

A longer post than I had expected to write.  And it's buried in the middle of a thread nobody will read.  (I do this sometimes.  I suck at marketing I guess!)

Sub-fee bitcoin amounts will have tradeoffs, involving trusting someone who has more money than you (at least, in someone's competence, even if their *financial* incentives can be made to match yours).  This is difficult to build well, and not a very exciting thing to build today, so it hasn't really happened (custodial things are much, much easier!).

This is also a key reason I believe we need to make Bitcoin more expressive: if we can do *more* with our own UTXOs, we can build better solutions.  And by "we" I mean "someone smarter than me" of course!

Feedback welcome!


Thanks for sharing bro, stay safe 🙏

Good read by Giacomo https://nitter.poast.org/giacomozucco/status/1817554831881519225#m


Bitcoin doesn't need governments to win. It doesn't need governments to stack it. It doesn't need to ask for help.

Instead, the bar is much lower. Bitcoiners, in their preferred jurisdiction, would benefit by not being hassled by their government. They'd like to be able to buy it without problems. They'd like to be able to pay for energy and equipment and mine it in peace. They'd like be able to write open source code without facing legal problems. They'd like to be able to operate reputable businesses related to it. If they can't, then some of them will move as necessary.

It's helpful for the ecosystem to have non-hostile jurisdictions in the world. And for those that can't move without great sacrifice (i.e. most people), it's helpful for them that whatever jurisdiction they are in, is non-hostile.

So it's good that bitcoin is getting into the Overton window. The industry has some power now. Bitcoin benefits from builders and educators and advocates. It benefits from those who do their best to prevent the worst legislative outcomes against self-custody, against privacy, against running a business, against mining, etc.

But Bitcoin doesn't need to pander to them to proactively support us, and bitcoiners should recognize the sliminess of politician incentives when they come to pander to us. While it's in their best interest to build national reserves if they actually figure this thing out, we don't need them to build reserves.

I think that's the helpful line. That's where the signal is. To the extent that we minimize how much we are tread on, and build multi-national accepting footholds to pivot around, we gradually build what we want to exist.

We ask to be treated fairly, we use our resources to help ensure that we are, and to the extent that we are not then we adjust as necessary.

Being “normal” really is the path to an unfulfilling life and early grave. Normals:

Eat whatever (insulin resistant). Drink alcohol daily (dependence). Don’t workout (fat and weak). Accumulate debt (long-term slave to wage labor). Spend time and money on pop culture and sports (escapism). Cares about the current thing to fit in (easily manipulated). Believes the system cares about them and they can change things by voting and paying taxes (stupid). Thinks pharmaceuticals can heal the damage caused by their laziness and negligence (delusional). Trusts establishment “experts” to take care of their finances instead of taking responsibility (HFSP). Let’s state agencies “educate”, “medicate” and “feed” their progeny (inadequate).

I have released a unique privacy tool and code library that broadcasts Bitcoin transactions **directly** into the P2P network.

1. No external dependencies whatsoever.
2. No centralized backends.
3. Uses Tor if found running on the same system. Having the Tor Browser open in the background is enough.

I wrote a very basic overview of watermarking, fingerprinting, timing analysis and supernodes for Bitcoin Magazine's last print issue, which is pretty much an unsolicited advertisement for why I think we need a second mempool (and also mixnets, but thats a longer story). Since no one cares about stuff like this on Twitter anyway, I'll explain here.

Bitcoin has a privacy issue on baselayer. I know this. You know this. Everybody knows this. The problem is that there's a lot of stuff we can't do to solve this issue without completely fucking up how Bitcoin works, like, say, anonymous amounts. But there is some stuff we *can* do to increase privacy on the Bitcoin baselayer. One of those things is incorporating a second mempool to integrate Dandelion++, the routing protocol used in Monero. Hear me out.

One of the ways blockchain surveillance firms identify who what transactions belong to on the Bitcoin blockchain is by operating so-called supernodes. A supernode sets up as many connections to other nodes as it can, and by doing so can establish where a transaction was first seen in the peer-to-peer network, ergo ascribe whom a transaction belongs to.

Here's where Dandelion++ comes in. Instead of propagating transactions to *all* connected peers, Dandelion++ propagates transactions like, well, a Dandelion.

In Dandelion++ propagation, Bitcoin nodes send transactions to *one* peer, instead of to all of them. This peer sends it to another peer, they send it to another peer, and so on and so forth. This is called the "stem phase".

When we've established enough plausible deniability, Dandelion++ reaches the "fluff phase". At this point, a node that did not *create* the transaction, but is simply relaying it, propagates it to all nodes in the network it is connected to, including supernodes, and the next node does the same, and so on and so forth – business as usual.

Incorporating Dandelion++ (or any other anonymizing propagation protocol, like Dandelion, Dandelion Lite, or Clover) would arguably seriously fuck up the blockchain surveillance stick as we are taking away the most obvious attack vector for blockchain surveillance firms. It's also not a trivial task, see ajtowns' overview of stempools (and no one wants to maintain another mempool on bitcoin, if we're honest). But it's a really interesting proposal to think about to increase privacy on Bitcoin that, yes, would be a lot of work to implement and maintain, but also does not get talked about enough imo for everyone yapping about Bitcoin baselayer privacy.

Three weeks ago I wrote an article on the EU's new AMLR in Bitcoin Magazine, detailing how the EU passed ALM laws restricting the use of Bitcoin privacy tools without any data to back up their claims that privacy heightens money laundering and terrorist financing risks.

Alex Stachtchenko took it a step further and ran the numbers. For every Euro confiscated, 200€ are spent. This means that the EU's AML compliance costs of 144B Euro exceeds all money ascribed to crime per year at 110B Euro – and still, 99% of criminal profits escape confiscation.

Despite their absolute inefficiency AML laws continue to be expanded, subjecting all EU citizens to total financial surveillance for the price of catching 1%. It is a system that has grown completely out of control and is in no way proportionate to the right to privacy enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

It's a long read, and its in French so you'll need to translate it, but I guarantee that it will be worth every minute of your time.

GPT summary of this year’s In #Gold We Trust report: https://ingoldwetrust.report/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/In-Gold-We-Trust-report-2024-english.pdf

## Summary of "In Gold We Trust Report 2024"

**Introduction**
The 2024 edition of the "In Gold We Trust" report highlights significant changes in the gold market. Gold prices have broken long-term resistances, setting new all-time highs. This is happening despite expectations that sharply rising real interest rates would depress prices. The new dynamics involve strong demand from central banks and emerging markets, especially China, offsetting weaker Western demand.

**Key Highlights:**
1. **New Gold Playbook:** Traditional Western investors are no longer the primary drivers. Central banks and emerging markets now play a crucial role.
2. **Geopolitical Shifts:** Macroeconomic and geopolitical changes, along with a new monetary architecture, are reshaping gold market dynamics.
3. **Investment Strategy:** Given the reorganization of global economic structures and debt sustainability issues, increasing gold's presence in portfolios is recommended.
4. **Bitcoin Integration:** Bitcoin is increasingly seen as digital gold, with significant developments like Bitcoin ETFs enhancing its liquidity and appeal as an asset class.

**Chapter Highlights:**
- **Mastering the New Gold Playbook:** A detailed analysis of investment strategies adapted to current market conditions.
- **De-dollarization:** Focus on the growing push for gold in Eastern markets as part of a broader de-dollarization trend.
- **Geopolitical Analysis:** Discussions on the impact of global multipolarity, including debates on the US dollar's status and inflation.
- **Regional Focus:** The importance of Dubai in the global gold trade and the unique challenges and opportunities in China.
- **Technological Innovations:** Exploration of future prospects in asteroid and deep-sea mining.
- **Silver Market:** An update on silver's potential amid the energy transition.
- **Bitcoin:** Insights into Bitcoin's role post-halving and its path towards becoming a hard monetary asset.

**Conclusion:**
The report underscores the importance of understanding these new market dynamics and adjusting investment strategies accordingly. The evolving roles of central banks, emerging markets, and technological innovations are critical in navigating the future of gold and related assets.

The Web is taken.

They control your data: Servers can change anything you send at any time: E-mails, medical records, private family pictures, social media posts, orders etc. You won't even notice it. Not only they can change, but you can also create new content as if they were made by you. Your history is written by them.

Servers do too much: They convinced us we don't have enough processing power and moved all the logic from our applications into servers. Even though a phone has an equivalent processing power than a single server today, we believe we must use complicated server architectures to achieve anything in the web. Phones are the cloud.

Everything is a rental: You don't own your domain name. It's a rental. Your server is a rental. Your digital certificate is a rental. You don't own anything. Your digital identity is a rental.

Data Silos force you to stay: Moving is too hard. They profit on making things just difficult enough to keep your around. After all, it's just 9.99 a month.

Enter the Verifiable Web

Own your keys, own your content. No one can write for you. No one can change what you write.

Sign everything you send. Every little like, every little key press. If it wasn't signed, it didn't happen.

Verify everything you receive. Trust the signer, not the servers in between.

You decide how data gets to you and where it stays. Your digital history is assembled by you.

Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack alternative to GitHub

https://image.nostr.build/64412b0d9f12253dbe71d9b19bc2a4380c5bf87020c8cf68dda2351059f13cc2.jpg

It leverages Git’s architecture combined with cryptography and a gossip protocol to enable a fully sovereign developer network. All social artifacts are stored in Git, and signed using public-key cryptography. Radicle verifies the authenticity and authorship of all data for you.

The Radicle protocol leverages cryptographic identities for code and social artifacts, utilizes Git for efficient data transfer between peers, and employs a custom gossip protocol for exchanging repository metadata.

Radicle enables users to run their own nodes, ensuring censorship-resistant code collaboration and fostering a resilient network without reliance on third-parties.

Radicle installs on your own Linux, macOS or BSD computer and will connect remotely to other remote peers. But note this likely works using git CLI commands so don't expect the pretty GitHub interface.

FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.
You don't want easy.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.
Easy is not putting on your running shoes.
Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.
Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.
Easy is compliance.
Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.
Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.
Easy is starting up the money printer.
Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."
Easy is not educating yourself.
Easy is not taking responsibility.
Easy is trusting a third party.
Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.
Easy is not having to think.
Easy is not having to understand.
Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.


Incredible waste of time and money


Nice, thanks for sharing.


Ok this is fucking cool!


Came here to post this… 😂


The most effective way to orange pill society is to produce something that society wants, and demand Bitcoin as payment.

This forces people to study Bitcoin and figure out how to access it.

Team Fiat is producing iPhones, cars, air travel, houses, etc. It's impossible to access without having fiat in the loop.

This is creates demand for access to fiat.

What is Team Bitcoin producing? What products and services are *impossible* to acquire without having Bitcoin in the loop?

What products and services are we producing to drive the demand for access to our magic internet  money?

Snort v0.2.0 was tagged.

This release contains a full nostr relay in the browser (the worker relay). It works like any other relay on nostr, and allows us to cache content efficiently.

This also means that all reactions, replies, and posts are cached in your browser and are always available, even when you are offline.

Most of the caching strategies that have been developed thus far have been scrapped and replaced by the worker relay.

Additionally, I've added Negentropy support to allow for really efficient synchronization with the worker relay, meaning that very little data is required to stay in sync.

This opens the door for a lot of really cool things.

As always there are many many many changes so if you're interested in the summarised list you can see them on https://snort.social/about

Many of us like the orange coin, please forgive this flawed comparison:

#bitcoin just turned 15 years old and while many things definitely work beautifully, there are still some rough edges. Good things take time. 💜


It is a bit of a black hole though… :)


Every day a shitcoiner starts learning about #bitcoin, falls down a rabbit hole or two, starts seeing the truth, leaves shitcoining behind, finally becomes a bitcoiner.

I bet not many of those who swallowed the orange pill ever went the other way. Clearly shows which is the right way, doesn’t it.


I enjoyed it immensely, great country with amazing people

I am thrilled to share my new essay

"Stranded: How Bitcoin is Saving Wasted Energy and Expanding Financial Freedom in Africa"

I was profoundly moved by what I saw on a recent trip to Kenya and Malawi.

If this essay can show you even 1% of what inspired me, that's a win… here’s an overview:

We begin in Bondo, a small town in Malawi, a country where only 11% of the population has access to electricity.

The nation suffers 6-8 hours of blackouts a day, but the power in Bondo is consistent because of Bitcoin mining.

The town got its first electricity in 2016, and now is expanding its grid, thanks to Bitcoin, which is buying 100% of the electricity that the micro-hydro stations cannot sell, and giving precious capital to the power company so it can expand operations.

At night, demand dwindles, and in remote places like Bondo, there’s no one else to buy the consistent hydro power.

Enter Bitcoin, powered by internet services like Starlink. A datacenter from Gridless now saves the wasted energy and is powering the community forward.

The big realization: virtually all power generation, especially in rural places, wastes energy.

Bitcoin fixes this.

We are told Bitcoin is a waste of energy but the truth is the opposite.

NOT Bitcoin mining is a waste of energy.

And the kicker: Bitcoin miners create heat.

This heat will be used for productive uses.

General heating in cold climates, and in a place like Bondo? Drying tea, fruit, or cocoa.

Profit from mining won’t just be profit - cost, it will be (profit + profit from externality) - cost.

For context: Malawi is a country that just suffered an IMF-led 44% currency devaluation.

Already one of the poorest nations in the world, where most people save in cash, now citizens can only afford 56% of what they could a few months ago. Per the IMF, more devaluation is on the way.

The kwacha is a disastrous wage technology. Once again, enter Bitcoin, a vastly superior savings mechanism.

The first Bitcoin meetup is happening in the Malawi’s capital this month. We are very early with adoption in this region—2020 in El Salvador terms—but this adoption will turn from a trickle into a torrent.

Up north in Kenya, Gridless has geothermal mines, too. I visited one.

It’s a remarkable site: a humming hut on the site of a lake with a Starlink on top, eating all of the electricity that a water pump does not use: perfectly solarpunk.

Kenya is the world’s largest exporter of cut flowers. There are tons of sites like this, generating power for irrigation, all over the country. All of them waste energy.

Geothermal is beautifully consistent, but the demand is not. Bitcoin fixes this.

Gridless operations like these are generally profitable within the first two years. Now there's biomass, where the company has just launched data centers at sugar and sisal processing factories which before couldn't find buyers for excess electricity.

But now Bitcoin is buying.

This sounds great so far…

But for the hundreds of millions of Africans who don’t have internet access, how are they supposed to benefit?

Enter KG, whose company Machankura provides Bitcoin access to people with no internet.

This is done through USSD — a SMS-type protocol.

The user texts a number, then gets a decision tree, and can send, receive, barter, and purchase a variety of things, all without data.

This is a custodial service for now — but KG and team have plan to make SIM cards signing devices and even Lightning touch points so that people can self-custody and be their own bank without the internet.

A true civilizational leap forward.

Critical: there are 700 million women in Africa, but very very few use Bitcoin.

Marcel Lorraine aims to change that.

A Kenyan entrepreneur who has fearlessly helping schools in Kibera, two years ago she launched Bitcoin Dada, a program to educate women and girls about Bitcoin.

Marcel runs classes every week, with several cohorts per year.

The task is huge but she insists on pushing forward.

She argues Bitcoin can give macro freedom for communities and countries, yes, but also micro freedom at home for women who traditionally take a back seat in finance.

Finally: independence from dependence is a key concept

Femi Longe, director of BTrust Builders, is trying to make that happen.

He’s running a program to train African developers and help them contribute to Bitcoin, to take careers in the industry or become contributors to core.

As Jack Dorsey says, if Bitcoin is going to be used around the world, it has to be made around the world.

Femi refuses to accept a future like today, where cars are made in the West and bought by Africans.

The Bitcoin infrastructure needs to be made in Africa.

The way these pieces could fit together is astonishing.

Unlike in the West, where adoption might mean centralized pools and ETFs, in Africa adoption will mean off-grid mining and potentially millions of self-custodying users, powered by SIM cards.

Africans need Bitcoin, yes.

But Bitcoin needs Africa.

That was blazing clear from my visit last month.

At the end of the day, who is going to help bring electricity and high-quality currency — the building blocks of progress — to hundreds of millions of Africans?

Bill Gates? The UN? The World Bank?

No, they won’t.

But Bitcoin might.

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.

Offense (like intent) exists only in a person's head & not in reality at all. There is zero harm in offending people. The freedom to cause offense is 100% necessary to the teaching/learning process. "Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me" is something people used to be taught from young ages. Now everyone has horrible personal boundaries because they are taught that how they feel is everyone else's responsibility rather than completely their own.

We are seeing the consequences of incorrect foundational belief systems playing out. If someone is afraid of getting sick, it's on them to stay home or protect themselves in whatever way they can, they can't require that everyone else stay home until they prove they are healthy. You can't externalize the cost of your fear onto everyone else & not be a tyrant. Sick until proven healthy is no different than calling people guilty until proven innocent. When people invert fundamental principles they transform life into hell, & many will almost deserve it.


No


Happy New Year everyone 💜

I’m not yet half way through “Bitcoin is Venice” and it’s already the best book I’ve ever read.


A call to crypto flippers

Whether or not there is another “alt season”, I invite all you crypto aficionados to redirect your life’s energy, up to now invested in feeding this addiction to coin flipping/“invoosting”, towards cleaning up your act instead. Come join us on the bitcoin front—we have a lot to give, yes, but we need you, too.

You see we’re approaching a battle of the ages here. One that will likely involve bank runs, devaluations, and wars in the West. A conflict whose outcomes will certainly impact the lives of our children and many generations after. And for that years’ long struggle our world needs all the help it can get.

I have a lot of sympathy for people suffering from behavioral addictions and general lack of impulse control—I struggle with this still myself. In fact I believe addiction is the dominant challenge of our current era, co-created by the fiat system which drastically reduces the rewards people can earn from deferral of gratification and a virtuous life in general.

But this is not the place to get in the intellectual weeds.

I’m just here to send you, to the best of my ability, a warm invitation to try and clean up your life. I’m here to remind you that the world is worth it, and to valiantly assure you that you are worth it.

So get yourself to a meeting (yes the one you’ve been telling yourself you don’t need), pick up that book you bookmarked a while ago, ask someone for advice or support, cue up that meditation podcast, walk a dog, go on a walk in nature, or take a cold shower for 30 seconds. I suggest beginning small, so small that you can take that first step right now.

We’re all going to die one day. You know it, and deep down you also know what kind of life will make you feel proud to have lived. Sure, you can keep trying to get that chuckle out of other degen traders, and get on a little buzz by setting up that 10x leveraged play, but deep down you know that is just a poor surrogate for making a real connection with yourself and the rest of this world.

Here is the good news: once you start walking the path towards the good life (not as in hedonism but as in doing the right thing), you will, little by little, start noticing that you are in fact not alone, that in fact we are all in this together. You’ll start developing friendships and rekindling old ones that you’d forgotten you lost. And, paradoxically, as you slowly face your fears of “not having enough” head on, you’ll realize you already have so much to be grateful for, and you’ll start to feel happier than you’ve ever been.

Help yourself, you’re worth it! Under that thin cynical veneer, a truly beautiful person resides. That person knows in his bones that this little planet, with all its male and female silliness, with its songs of pain and sorrow, this blue-green-orange place teeming with life, is surely worth it too. Your possible reaction to this paragraph, that “meh…” or eye rolling part of you, that’s not all of you, that’s not who you are deep down. There is wonder in you, and joy, and a thirst for worthwhile adventure. If you can’t feel it, it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t there for you, but just that there’s clouds hanging out in your sky. An ominous sky makes place for a cheerful one, over time but inevitably, once one starts walking the path of the good life.

So join us my friend. Join us bitcoiners in the fight to defend life and liberty on earth. Lord of the Rings is real, and we are the Hobbits: weak physically, sure, but possessing a unique power to save the world of man. Time to leave the Shire!

Think of UTXOs* as little bits of gold of varying sizes that you hold in your vault. Some are small coins. Some are big bars. Some are mere dust.

In order to spend, you melt down UTXOs into the exact size needed for that transaction.

It costs more to melt down numerous UTXOs than just to melt a few UTXOs. So from a cost perspective, you’re better off having gold coins of standard size for regular spending, big bars for long term savings, and minimal dust.

Each time you melt down your coins at the public smelter, people can see how much gold is smelted. So it’s favorable from a privacy perspective to just smelt a few coins of the size you need, while keeping your larger reserves hidden.

Bitcoin's purpose is NOT to preserve arbitrary data. Bitcoin is a game that brings special bit sequences into existence, and we use these bit sequences to emulate physical ownership via secret knowledge.

This is why the culture of #Bitcoin needs to stay strong. And EVERYONE who truly believes in bitcoin needs to run a node and get at least one miner. (Or setup a mining farm too, that would be good)

More like 100 to reach its true value 😅


I’ve spent a lot of hours analyzing “crypto” and keeping up with the fads, and to this day I still cannot find a problem that I have, and that it can solve.

Bitcoin solves my hard globally-portable savings problem. I don’t see better money than this. And that’s a big problem to solve.

Stablecoins solve some developing market intermediate-term money problems in very inflationary environments as a bridging tool while Bitcoin is still volatile. Okay. That’s big for now.

Digital collectibles are fine. I mean, I have cardboard Magic the Gathering cards worth thousands of dollars. So you buy an ape NFT and get membership to an exclusive ape club (which is like all dudes, nearly entirely devoid of women) and can show your status by displaying your supposedly elite avatar. I do see how there is a nonzero recurring interest in this sort of digital elitist collectible thing. But it doesn’t solve any of my problems or seem to be relevant on the macro scale. A niche thing that doesn’t appeal to me. Like, Pokémon might make a billion dollars but it won’t make a macro-scale trillion dollars.

DeFi is mainly about trading and leveraging worthless tokens. In a world where there are much more real-world tokens involved (eg tokenized Apple stock or whatever), then maybe there is more of a use for that. But until then it’s mainly a circular Ponzi. And even then, that industry is limited.

So almost 15 years into this industry, there have been a handful of interesting experiments, but barely anything other than bitcoin and stablecoins interests me at scale.

Beyond that, it is just things that they can empower.

Nostr, for example, doesn’t need a blockchain. There is no reason to go to the expense to maintain a global state. It certainly is empowered from the fact that Bitcoin and Lightning exist (new good money allows for new good technologies), so it’s a tangential technology.

The vast majority of “crypto” projects either don’t solve a problem, or just solve a smaller niche interest.

I have been quiet lately, but it is for some good reason.

I am turning my medical device company ( eyenetra.com ) into an open-source project.

As some of you may know, I spent the past 15 years trying to increase access to eyeglasses by developing and shipping a new class of vision-testing devices. Even though we shipped thousands of units and served millions of patients, Nostr made me realize what I was missing all along: true decentralization.

All of our hardware designs and software will be made available to the FOSS community to build their own vision-testing devices and services. And I am going to be working with design/manufacturing partners across the globe to bring them to the market in as many variations as we can.

It has been a long process but I finally have all approvals to make it happen. Thanks to all my shareholders who believed in this idea and allowed me to make it happen.

The future is bright.

Avoiding posting on Twitter at the moment. I’m just watching there. There’s enough overnight-expert Middle East hot takes and emotions are running high. The violence and scenes are terrible, and my heart goes out to all victims involved and those who will be caught up in it going forward.

I’ll instead post a few things in my lane here as it relates to global finance and todays actions relating to things I’ve already been covering but that now obviously have updates. Helps me get my thoughts together for what will eventually be my next client report.

-Actions like this show the difficulty of multinational currency agreements. Saudi Arabia and Iran have been having more peaceful relations lately as China brought them together (“enemy of my enemy is my pragmatic financial friend”, and so forth). They are both set to join BRICS+ in January 2024.

-But, Saudi Arabia has also been working with the US and Israel on normalizing relations with Israel, in exchange for US arms deals and such. Saudi Arabia was also making promises to raise oil output to alleviate oil prices if they grow too quickly, which the US wants.

-So this attack (w/ Iranian involvement and public support) puts Saudi Arabia in a weird place. Lots of division and competing goals within BRICS+. Has all sorts of implications for Saudi/Israeli relations, Saudi/US relations, and what happens in the coming weeks will affect how those go.

-Egypt and Ethiopia are also joining BRICS+ in January 2024 and they have had a multi year ongoing feud regarding the Grand Renaissance dam on the Nile.

-China and India are well known as not being on good terms. Border disputes and all that.

-Building trade and currency and military agreements between so many different cultures is a bigger challenge than doing so between US and West Europe.

**#Nostrica | March 19-21 Sunday-Tuesday | Uvita, Costa Rica**

The #Nostrica website is coming along nicely. Have you checked it out lately? The design is 🔥 🔥

https://void.cat/d/PyeYYkYfjtV6y9q1feo2Di.png

The conference is shaping up to be unconference style, meaning there's generally no speakers that are sought after, but discussions are conference participant led and various talks are given based on those in attendance. Though, an agenda is being formed with three stages and talks to be given throughout the day.

* The conference is free. You'll just need to pay for travel and lodging.
* Shared meals will be provided to attendees.
* Family friendly event.
* Nym friendly and privacy mindful.
* Workshops, conversations, music...
* Opportunities to give-back to the local community.

For more information check out https://nostrica.com 🤙
