Too funny, if I let people know how many dollars in knives that I own I think they would lock me up. I got on a Bark River kick back in the 00 decade. Love me some carbon steel. Though most are safe queens I do have several users.

Also on the kitchen / butcher I got a set made by cold steel back in the 90's, I use them in the kitchen frequently, but I have to make sure I wash them and dry them right away. The wifey will not do it and they rust while you're looking at them. Lol


Stay warm! I braved the cold for this today... As they say, they were "off the chain"

Ribs!

And the carry handle is much nicer than a regular bucket. I also have a few for watering trees, put a couple small holes in the side and fill them up, the water comes out slowly and doesn't run off.


These make great water buckets for the animals in freezing weather. I like they are skinnier than a 5 gal round bucket and I don't think they are a full 5 gal as they don't seem as heavy. Also since the lids are attached water doesn't spill down my leg into my boots like open buckets.

Are you in Europe? Was my site on the front page? Amsoil.lube-direct.com


if your "food" has more than x amount of ingredients of things that aren't food, why is it still called food?
x is the variable that you need the consider for yourself and what you will put into your body.

shouldn't we all have that right to decide that?

but, at what point do we say, sorry more than x and you can't call it food either?

Alby isn't a an app, it's a browser based wallet that has an extension feature that allows you to store your keys as well as zap on Nostr. If you are looking for a wallet that has an app, check out exodus.

Happy 112 day. While I don't own an actual Buck 112, I have owned this Buck Lite 426 which is the lite version of the 112. I bought this in 1990 at the Ft Campbell PX and carried it to Desert Storm and the rest of my time on Active Duty until about 1996 when I traded another knife to a guy in Germany while we were deployed to Hungary to support the Bosnia conflict.

Personally it's a little on the small side, I prefer the 110 sized knife along with a smaller slip joint like a pen knife or something or a SAK cadet or the like

Also, not being able to delete (effectively) doesn’t mean one wouldn’t change their mind (folks will screen shot a tweet and reveal it years later anyway). It means you put out thoughts and perspectives in real time, and if someone brings up an old note that you’ve changed your mind on you can speak to that. Greater levels of communication, honesty, and admitting mistakes or evolved perspectives rather than pretending we’re all stagnant beings.

Also nostr doesn’t incentivize clickbate or divisive rhetoric (for the sake of divisiveness), because there isn’t a rage algorithm committing it out to every eyeball on the platform. Sure, there will be trolls and anomalies to this.

#Nostr is as much a social experiment as it is a censorship resistant, decentralized, open source protocol. You don’t post to see how many views you get — you post to put your thought into the universe as a permanent timestamp. nostr:note1y5elz3zw9xgzqka603kquflhzlh27haxyq5vgq333v86ur4tdyfqxppde3

🤷🏼♂ I've had mine since April, so I don't know. Now sure why they would go invite only? When I get to my computer I'll check.


Over the last few months it feels the bitcoin community has gotten more and more jaded on lightning. To be honest, this is for good reason, back in 2017 we were promised a decentralized payment network that would always have cheap payments and everyone would be able to run their own node. Nowadays, the average lightning user actually isn't using lightning, they are just using a custodial wallet and the few of that do run lightning nodes often find it a burdensome task. For us at Mutiny Wallet, we are trying to make this better by creating a lightweight self-custodial wallet and in my opinion we have been executing on that dream fairly well. In this post, I'll analyze these issues and present a new way to view lightning and what that means for bitcoin going forward.

First and foremost one of the hardest UX challenges of lightning is channel liquidity. No other payment system has these problems today besides lightning so this often confuses lots of users. To make matters worse, there aren't any practical hacks that we can do to get around this. Muun Wallet used an on-chain wallet + submarine swaps to get around the channel liquidity problem, this worked very well until fees went up and everyone realized it wasn't actually a lightning wallet. The better solution is JIT liquidity like we do in Mutiny or splicing like that is done in Phoenix. These solutions abstract some of it away but not enough, we often get support questions confused on why some payments have fees and others do not. The fact is channel liquidity is not a usable UX for most end users.

The other major pain point of lightning is the offline receive problem. Inherently, you must be online with your private keys to sign and claim a payment. There is technically an ongoing spec proposal to be able to work around this (essentially creating a notification system of when people are online to receive payments), but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem and still has limitations. There has been a few attempts to get around this, most notably was Zeus Pay lightning addresses. These essentially worked by just creating stuck payments and waited for the user to come online to claim, this caused a ton of problems for people and even forced us at Mutiny to block users from paying them because it caused so many force closures. This is a hard problem because the entire rest of the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem works by just copy-paste an address and you can send to it whenever, there isn't caveats around asking your friend to open their wallet. This is further exacerbated by things like lightning address that requires a webserver to even get an invoice in the first place.

Channel liquidity and offline receives in my opinion are the two most obvious reasons why self-custodial lightning is not popular. When most users hear about any of these, they just think screw that and move to a custodial wallet because it is so much easier. If these were our only two problems, I think self-custodial lightning would be fine, it may never be the predominant way people use lightning, but we could get the UX good enough that we have a significant portion of people using lightning in a sovereign way. However, there are more problems under the surface.

Channel liquidity is a problem, but it is also deceptive. When you have 100k sats of inbound liquidity you would think you could receive up to 100k sats, but this isn't the case, often you can't actually receive any. This is because of on-chain fees, when a payment is being made in lightning you are creating pre-signed transactions that have outputs for every in-flight payment, these outputs cost potential on-chain fees and the high on-chain fees go the more it eats into your liquidity. After we've solved most of our force close issues Mutiny this has been number one support request. Even if you do everything right, understand liquidity and have enough for your payment, sometimes it still won't work because on-chain fees are too high. This is always really discouraging because isn't the whole point of lightning to not have to
pay on-chain fees? Fundamentally, all current lightning channels could become entirely useless if on-chain fees went high enough because a single payment would require too many reserves. Obviously this is hyperbolic, but I hope I am getting the point across that on-chain fees don't just effect the opening and closing costs of channels, even if you are a diligent node runner that only opens channels when fees are low, that is not enough, your channels need to be large enough to pay for the on-chain fees of each HTLC at any future on-chain fee rate. As on-chain fees go up and up this problem will only get worse.

The proposed solution to these reserve issues are things like anchor channels, package relay, ephemeral anchors, etc. These are all well and good but kind of just mask the problem. They do solve it so the fee reserve can be much lower and possibly zero, however with the tradeoff that you need on-chain funds available to fee-bump your force closes so they can actually get into a block. This again breaks the UX for self-custodial users because they _have_ hold on-chain funds alongside their lightning funds so they can do those on-chain fee bumps. The size requirements for their on-chain funds is still dynamically based on how high on-chain fees can spike. Solutions for this can include having someone else bump your transaction fees but this brings basically a trusted 3rd party into the mix and isn't ideal.

When you lay out all the different tradeoffs a lightning node needs to make, especially in a high fee environment, it makes me think, what are we doing here, are we going down the wrong path? Lightning is still fundamentally a fantastic payment protocol but its limitation is that it requires _scale_. Basically every problem I've outlined goes away when you have a large lightning node with lots of liquidity and high uptime so many we should optimize for that. The market has been telling us this for years already, +90% of lightning users are using custodial wallets because it works so much better at scale. So how can we use large scale lightning nodes without custodial wallets?

Combining existing large scale lightning infrastructure with self-custodial solutions sadly, isn't totally possible. The only real way to do that as of now is Muun Wallet which as we talked about earlier, doesn't really solve the problem because everything is just an on-chain transaction. However, Muun was onto something. The architecture of having a simpler protocol interface with lightning is genius and gives us the best of both worlds. We can make fast cheap payments and let the big boys collect fees for running the lightning node. Aqua Wallet just launched which is essentially a Muun Wallet but on top of Liquid, this is a good bandaid fix but doesn't get to the root of the problem.

Before we go further we should take a step back and break down what problems we are trying to solve. Bitcoin has a fundamental scaling limitation through the block size, if we could make infinite, then we wouldn't necessarily need any layer 2s because we could just make on-chain payments. However, we live in the real world and have a 1mb block size limit, and this limits the number of transactions we can make on-chain. Lightning is a huge improvement to bitcoin because we don't need to put _every_ transaction on-chain, we just need to open a channel and can make seemingly countless payments. So why isn't lightning the silver bullet? Lightning lets us move payments off-chain but what it doesn't do is let us move ownership off-chain. Fundamentally lightning still relies on that, at the end of the day, a utxo goes to single user. So even if every on-chain transaction was a lightning channel, we still run into the limit of how many people can actually own those channels. What we need is another layer 2 that can scale utxo ownership and caninterop with lightning, that way we have a way to scale ownership combined with scaling payments.

So how do we scale ownership? Simply put, the answer today is custody, whether that is pure custodial like a Wallet of Satoshi or in the grey area like fedimints and liquid, the only way to do it today is through custody or federated bridges. In bitcoin, the only way to delegate ownership of a utxo to multiple parties is through multisig, however, that requires every user to be online when anyone wants to transact, and when you take go down this path far enough you end up just reinventing lightning.

Are we doomed then? Is there no way to scale bitcoin in a self-sovereign way? Luckily, the answer is no, but we need some soft-forks. Covenants are the way to scale bitcoin ownership. There are a bunch of covenant proposals but at their core what they propose to do is to add a way, so you can have a bitcoin address that limits where and how the coins in it can be spent. This can seem scary, but we already have these in bitcoin today, OP_CTLV (Check LockTime Verify), which was soft forked in 2016, only allows you to spend from a bitcoin address if the transaction has a given locktime, this lets you gate _when_ a utxo can be spent. What the current covenant proposals do is let you gate _where_ a utxo can be spent. With that simple primitive many different protocols can be built that allow for scaling ownership.

There are a lot of current covenant proposals, the main ones being: OP_CTV, OP_VAULT, OP_CSFS, OP_TXHASH, OP_CAT, and APO. They all have different functionality and tradeoffs but in my opinion we should be looking towards activating a form of covenants because otherwise we will likely be moving towards a future of less sovereign bitcoin users.

The future is not bleak however, even without covenants we can still scale bitcoin for the world, just not in the ideal way. At Mutiny, we are full steam ahead on implementing fedimint into the wallet, in my opinion (and the rest of the team's) it looks like the best current scaling solution for bitcoin. Fedimints give us the ability to dynamically share ownership over a group of utxos and is able to interop with lightning through gateways. It is the pinnacle of the scaling dream for bitcoin with current technology and I can't wait to help make it reality while we can.

Although #BrokenMoney is about money and finance, I dedicated a full chapter to the topic of privacy.

It covers government financial surveillance, surveillance capitalism, the frequency of data breaches, Snowden, Pegasus, Chinese export of surveillance tech to dictators around the world, etc.

Surrounding chapters are about CBDCs, encryption, and the intersection of financial technology and human rights so it all kind of flows together.

I figure that most people won’t read a book about privacy but if I can stick some privacy-focused content into a money book that will indeed reach a wide audience, it’ll educate a lot of people on the topic that weren’t otherwise looking for it specifically.

PSA: let's try not to promote YouTube on Nostr at all. We have nostr.build and flare.pub for hosting video media.

If content creators aren't going to put their videos on Nostr, then fuck em, we'll do it for them.

Use this app to rip videos from YouTube, Twitter, or pretty much any other site:
https://github.com/deniscerri/ytdlnis/releases/tag/v1.7.1

Then use this app to compress the video for upload:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.aravi.compressor

If the file is under 100MB, you can upload it to Flare.

If it's larger, or if otherwise you just want it to play natively in most Nostr clients, you can upload it to nostr.build. You'll need a paid Nostr build account to upload large files, but you should have one of those anyways, fren. If you've been a Nostr build freeloader up until now, well now you have another reason to support them.

Fuck YouTube. Don't give them more traffic when we can host media natively on Nostr. LFG! 💜⚡🚀

I had been sucking most of the week with 5 or 6's... Finally caught a break!


From Dave Benner, an outstanding historian. Here he discusses the history of the creation of West Virginia.

"Today in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed an act to admit West Virginia into the union as a new state, after the Wheeling government had withdrawn from Virginia.

The admission of West Virginia to the union was particularly controversial. Even in the North, free from the influence of the departed southern states, many opposed Lincoln’s desire to admit the state. Opposing Lincoln’s ultimate stance, those who offered candid deference to the Constitution considered Congress’ enabling act that admitted West Virginia as an unconstitutional usurpation.

Still, the genesis of West Virginia is a complex story, beginning with Virginia’s response to an impending demonstration of force against the south. On April 16, 1861, Lincoln called for 75,000 troops to be raised while Congress was not in session. The new force’s sole purpose was to prepare for an invasion of the southern states. For the first time in American history, a president intended to raise an army by himself without congressional approval. Additionally, he aimed to direct the forces to invade American states and use force against any opposition that stood in his way.

In response, an assembly comprised of delegates representing all of Virginia’s counties organized a convention to consider secession. This was hardly a rush to judgment – just two weeks earlier, a prior convention in the state consciously voted against an ordinance of secession, hoping for a compromise to be adopted. Several settlement plans had been proposed in Congress, and war was not a foregone conclusion at that point. Despite the urgings of the states in the Deep South that had already seceded, Virginia embraced a candid course for resolution before May.

Lincoln’s unilateral call for forces was considered an incredibly hostile action in the south, especially in the states that up until that point had given Lincoln the benefit of the doubt. Virginia, being one of these states, was faced with heightened apprehension toward the blatant threat of force. Moreover, Virginia’s delegates realized that Lincoln’s army would have to march directly through the heart state to confront South Carolina and the other seceded states. The state’s convention, selected by republican elections, ultimately voted to depart the union on April 17.

Despite this decision, some delegates from several counties in Virginia refused to recognize their state’s position on secession. These delegates reorganized with the intention of advocating for secession from Virginia to create a pro-union Virginian government. Accordingly, they called for a convention to meet in Wheeling to discuss the matter. Their initial convention culminated with a decision to wait until Virginia had approved its secession referendum before pursuing any additional course of action.

Sentiments in Virginia were highly supportive of leaving the union, and the state’s referendum passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 132,201 for to 37,451 against. The patience of Virginia’s citizens had run its course, and the people would not tolerate threats of force against the Commonwealth. In response to the referendum, a second Wheeling convention met, this time claiming that all Virginia state offices were vacant and that the delegates would act as the legitimate government of Virginia. Meanwhile, before West Virginia was admitted to the union, Lincoln made official statements recognizing the new West Virginian government. Additionally, he promptly allowed the state to send two senators to represent it in the United States Senate alongside two representatives who took their own seats again in the House of Representatives. This raised further controversy in the United States Senate, where the objections of James A. Bayard of Delaware were overridden and the body voted to seat the new senators.

Congress passed an enabling act in July of 1864 which would admit West Virginia to the union conditionally – it required the implementation of a gradual emancipation plan according to Lincoln’s independent penchants. This attempt to admit West Virginia became so controversial that even Lincoln’s own cabinet of hand-picked advisors could not agree on its constitutionality. In consideration of this debate, Secretary of State William Seward and Attorney General Edward Bates drafted letters to Lincoln expressing their opinions on the matter.

Seward maintained that West Virginia’s incorporation was constitutional on the basis that Virginia engaged in treason against the union:

“The organized political body which has committed this treason, having broken and trampled under its feet the Constitution, and even the Union, of the United States, is still standing in that treasonable attitude within the jurisdiction of the State of Virginia, but it has been dislodged from the portion of that jurisdiction which is contained within the new State of West Virginia.”

Of course, the Constitution maintains a very different definition of treason than what Seward articulated:

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”

Under this definition, and under the assumption that the secession of southern states was unconstitutional, the north’s actions fit the Constitution’s definition of treason closer than the actions of the southern states.

Despite Lincoln and Seward’s claims that secession was illegitimate and treasonous, they both professed that there was no longer a legitimate government in Richmond. In doing so, they made the claim that only the separatist government’s stance on the matter should be accepted for the purposes of statehood. In Seward’s mind, the act of secession precluded the state from maintaining its own physical boundaries and government. This train of logic is utterly confounding – if secession wasn’t an authentic action, how could the federal government constitutionally ignore Richmond’s stance on the issue? Similarly, if Virginia’s government in Richmond became illegitimate the moment it seceded, wouldn’t all the American states be classified similarly, since they had absolved themselves from all ties to the British crown? Neither Lincoln nor Seward could maintain a rational, coherent narrative regarding these questions.

Lincoln had many detractors against his plan to admit West Virginia, but none were as convincing as his own Attorney General, Edward Bates. Bates, a prominent Whig who also revered Henry Clay, refused to rubber stamp the plan. Hardly a Lincoln critic, Bates played a prominent role in the arrest of southern sympathizers in the north, and sought the conviction of many for sedition. Even Bates, considered by some to be a lackey of Lincoln, realized the unconstitutionality of the plan.

Expressing his criticisms of the plan in an official letter, Bates concluded that any reading of the Constitution did not allow for the federal government to create a state:

“I observe, in the first place, that the Congress can admit new States into this Union, but cannot form States: Congress has no creative power, in that respect; and cannot admit into this Union, any territory, district or other political entity, less than a State. And such State must exist, as a separate independent body politic, before it can be admitted…And that result, (i.e. the making of the State by Congress) would falsify the universal and fundamental principle of this country, that a free American State can be made only by the people, its component members. Congress has no power to make a State.”[emphasis Bates]

Bates asserted that the federal government had no role in making a state, but that was exactly what Lincoln intended to do in West Virginia. Not only did his proclamation imply that this, but it dictated to the state a prerequisite for statehood – it was to implement a gradual emancipation plan according to Lincoln’s independent wishes. This was an alien concept – the Constitution provides no power to the federal government to dictate the terms of statehood. The state is first sovereign under its own will, whereupon afterward it can petition for statehood.  The federal government can choose not to admit a state to the union, but it cannot dictate its terms of statehood.

A previous federal attempt to implement permanent mandates (that would last beyond statehood) to territories, the Missouri Compromise, was incredibly controversial on the same constitutional grounds. This was because of the perception it would create a new subordinate group of “second-class” states without the power to form their own policies regarding slavery. Thomas Jefferson’s reaction to this act was to deem it as “a fire bell in the night” which would signal the “the knell of the union.” For similar reasons, it is doubtful that his reaction to this incident would be much different.

In the past, states first created and ratified their own republican constitutions on the basis of their own sovereign specifications. This was done as a precursor to entering the federal union, and the federal government never before questioned the legitimacy of this practice. In Tennessee’s case, the state had written and ratified its own Constitution, which came into effect concurrent with the state’s admission into the union. In Vermont, the state was for a time an independent republic with its own constitution prior to its admission to the United States in 1791. Prior to its admission, Texas maintained itself as an independent republic for about a decade, with its own system of laws and its own constitution. In every case, the ratification of a republican constitution and the existence of a republican legislature predated admission into the federal union. Noticeably, Bates’ remark that the federal government lacked the power to create a state was corroborated by history.

Departing from Lincoln and Seward, Bates also made the observation that the Constitution used plural language to specify that multiple legislatures would need to specify consent to form a new state from its territory:

“It speaks in the plural – “the legislatures of the States concerned” – i.e. Virginia and West Virginia…Here the proposition is to make two states out of one. Each one, of course, must have a legislature, and the Constitution requires the consent of both legislatures, before the thing can be done. Now, it is said that the legislature of Virginia (Old Virginia) has consented; but it is not pretended that the legislature of West Virginia has consented – nor that there is, in fact, any such legislature to give consent.”

As Bates noted, West Virginia did not have its own legislature to consent to the legislature of Virginia. Furthermore, the union had considered Virginia’s current government in Richmond to be an illegitimate one, and did not seek to ascertain their stance on this matter. Instead, Lincoln and Seward sought to undermine “Old Virginia” by claiming the West Virginia government was the only republican government within the state.

Throughout the entirety of his presidency, Lincoln had maintained an unmistakable stance that the act of secession was illegitimate and unconstitutional. If this was the case, Virginia would have remained in the union and remain invested with its own sovereign powers – including those granting the inception of a new state within its borders. Since Lincoln would not negotiate with the Confederate states because he believed it would acknowledge their legitimacy, he eschewed any chance for peaceful reconciliation and ignored the Virginian government completely.

West Virginia eventually acquiesced to Lincoln’s mandate for statehood, implementing the gradual emancipation plan into a new constitution that was ratified on March 26, 1863. For the first time, a new breed of subordinate state without the powers of the original states was formed. Unlike the process through which the original union was created, through a compact among states, in this case the federal government dictated its own ideals as an ultimatum. Jefferson’s fears had come to fruition.

By adopting the position that West Virginia was free to join the union under its own will without the express sanction of Virginia, Lincoln had unwittingly embraced the principle he was willing to plunge the country into war over – secession. Only through the notion that secession was just, could Lincoln justify his position. Through this incident, Lincoln demonstrated that he was willing to accept secession when it benefitted him, only decrying the principle when it hindered his chief political aim – the permanent solidification of national authority."

Can't believe it hasn't been done yet.


Few understand: There is no such thing as “tax revenue” at the federal level.

Every dollar that exists came from the State or its agents (banks). The State doesn’t need your money. The State creates currency in whatever supply it wants.

What the State needs is your labor, which it compels through taxation. When you pay taxes, you’re paying with coupons the State made for that purpose. Every dollar is a get-out-of-tax-jail card.

You are a slave. Fiat currency is blood money.


Probably several other overlaps, like business ownership, Liberty, ANCAP, free markets, freedom in general #DecentralizeEverything

I came on with the big flux earlier this year with the #GrowNostr initiative that Jack Spirko started. All the podcasts that I listen to, no one else talks about #nostr.... I've reached out to Tom Woods, and I get 🦗 a response. We need some bigger names promoting it. I've posted on my other social about how you don't get crap like fecesbook just did to me me... But with very little results. I don't have an answer.

I try to post interesting stuff besides bitcoin and use hastags... 🤷🏼♂ I don't know what else to do?

TIME IS SCARCE.
MONEY IS FINITE.
USE BOTH WISELY.


Several people I talked with didn't like the fee to transfer money into it. I always do the free option that takes 1-2 business days. I normally put about $500 at a time and reload when I get down to about $100. I don't use it for everything, because I have a lot of business expenses that I put on my credit card. If I didn't have that I would use it for everything.


Probably after 2008... It was a slow awakening... I'm a slow learner.


THE SUITS STILL THINK MONEY IS CHEAP AND INFINITE. REALITY IS GOING TO HIT THEM LIKE A BAG OF BRICKS.

I typically carry no less than 2.

#1 a small case peanut or SAK alox cadet

#2 a SAK climber (needs to have scissors and cork screw.)

#3 a fixed blade around 3 3/4" or locking folder of the same length.

If I'm in the woods I'll carry a larger fixed blade, plus an AXE and the locking folder and the SAK and small slip joint.

2 is 1 and 1 is none, that's why 3 is for me.


This shows up on my feed as I'm sitting here with one of my #edc #knives in my hand and we had our grandson over for his 13th birthday where he received a pocket knife for his birthday with his name and year engraved... He received the #SAK for Christmas. #alwayscarryaknife

I've been using it about 6 months. I haven't heard or had any issues.


Another thought idea, use rewards programs like the fold card to start earning bitcoin.

 https://use.foldapp.com/r/EMPFJKXY


I feel like the more we can educate on Austrian economics, and sound money ideas the less volitility we'll have because people are actually using it for transactions and not just as a "store of value" if that's all people are in bitcoin for they are missing out on the most important part.


Because the ppk was one of the most popular pistols in the world... It's a Walther clone.


I like the what is money show by Robert Breedlove.

Especially the first 9 episodes with Michael Saylor.

When your political party can no longer statistically win a major national election because theyve lost too much of the black vote, just open the borders and import new voters. Give the money of the existing citizens to the new slave class to win their loyalty. Then recruit them into the military and law enforcement, so they will have no loyalty to the constitution or the people, but only to you.
When people start pointing out what you’re doing is treasonous and illegal, just call them racist conspiracy theorists. They’ll be too scared to stop you in time.
Prosper 🙂
Oh. Just make sure Google and Apple blur out the UN staffed staging areas in Panama on their maps.

One of my Muay Thai students works at Twitch and I just told him about nostr:npub1kujg6vxfwajclcu3y7kxf9aewn8u89x2erhwt9usf58yvlytcrvqtpjw3z . He immediately understood the value of NOSTR. Turns out South Korea is trying to tax companies like Netflix who are using their internet infrastructure and extracting value from their economy. We're lucky to have so many great developers getting NOSTR ready for when more people need it.

Have the latest version 1.01 (954) and the issue persists. Someone turned on the trim silence button. Luckily my Google podcast app is still working, I'm getting behind on my podcasts.

Freedom isn’t how much bitcoin you have in cold storage. It’s the acceptance of and the process of taking radical responsibility for your life.

I used to think I am freeing myself but now I know I am free. In this moment, I am free. That has been a massive shift in 2023. I am not the victim of circumstances or the beneficiary of luck. In my process, I realize I choose every bit of this journey. Every character, every lesson, every scene so that I could wake up and BE.

The ability to BE free has always been there. Accept the gravity of the responsibility and choose it. Look in every dark nook and cranny — accept the findings, take responsibility, and love the projections/reflections, unconditionally. Detangle the quantum knots. They no longer serve this version of you.

This sovereign path is no joke, yet it’s the ultimate joke. Choose yourself in your entirety. And laugh lol/rofl/cry laugh along the way. Because it’s all so brilliantly ridiculous. Enjoy the ride! You ARE free now.

It's hard bro, especially for feet...i think all my sweat glands are in my feet. I have a terrible time it's it's the least bit cool out. Even 50°f  and my feet are cold and clammy. I've tried every darned sock and still have trouble. My best solution is to change socks at the first sign of wetness.

Right now my favorites are alpaca socks. Then Merino.

Oscar, You talking the audio with no spaces? I hope, I can't listen to it as it is.

Anyone else have this issue? Any way to fix it? I tried slowing it down, but it's still all jumbled together.


Thanks, not sure my normy folks are ready for that... But might try it for a local bitcoin meetup.


Okay you tech geeks... I'm looking to start some local groups and events, as always looking for FOSS over big tech. Went down the rabbit hole of alternatives to meetup or fecesbook and found this.

The censorship will continue until the protocols and tools improve. Thankfully that is why we are all here.

Just purchased the audible version of Becoming Your Own Banker, Unlock the Infinite Banking Concept by Nelson Nash...

This is a fantastic way to begin to learn about The Infinite Banking Concept and how it relates to your personal financial plan.

We are long term Bitcoin Maxi's but still have to keep fiat, so why not keep it in a place that you own and control, where every dollar does multiple jobs, and earns uninterrupted compound interest on a tax effecient basis.

#ThinkDifferently #DynastyWealthPartners #InfiniteBanking #FinancialTailwind #generationalwealth #becomingyourownbanker #NelsonNash

Nelson Nash developed 5 rules.

1. Think Long term (at least 70 years or 3 generations

2. Don't be afraid to capitalize

3. Don't steal the peas

4. Don't do business with banks

5. Rethink your thinking

If you think that the Infinite Banking Concept has a place in your personal financial plan, get in touch, we would be glad to answer any questions you have.

We've been doing this since 2013.

Just love Nov and December here. Love making fires!


There are 60 million millionaires in the world, and every single one of them has a store of value problem. And so does everyone else in the world.

The cost to ship a sizable amount of gold internationally costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Even if you just buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold domestically and bring it home, you're paying a spot markup of thousands of dollars. The cost to close a luxury mansion real estate deal (which many wealthy people just own and leave empty as a store of value) can be hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, and then depending on their jurisdiction they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in property taxes on it. An international wire transfer often costs like $30 and takes days and is entirely permissioned/centralized/credit-based. Credit card fees are like 3%. The global banking industry generates hundreds of billions of dollars in fees per year even though it's all centralized.

Bitcoin is a decentralized global liquid store of value and settlement network. You can send money to any internet-connected person in the world generally in an hour or less depending on desired block confirmations. You can indefinitely self-custodially store value in a unit that is scarcer than gold and scarcer than real estate and that unlike both gold and real estate is globally portable. It currently costs like $35 to do this and everyone is losing their minds at how expensive that seems. But $35 is an *outstanding* price for this service, and in ten years I have no idea what the price will be but there are many scenarios where it could be way higher.

Right now, bitcoin fees are higher than normal because people are trading frogs on the timechain and so forth. But regardless, people need to be ready for the prospect of sustained high fees if bitcoin adoption continues to grow structurally with limited block space. This means users, developers, businesses, etc. To put it into this bigger context, fees are still insanely cheap compared to other alternatives listed above that give similar store of value and global payment properties at scale.

I'm a bit surprised fees haven't *already* been $35 on a regular basis by now. So to flip it around; fees aren't expensive because there are frogs on the timechain; fees are still cheap because relatively few people are using bitcoin to send and store money compared to the total addressable market that could be doing so.

Does this price out small users? Unfortunately, yes. That's where layers come in, and the options vary depending on if someone is a power user or not. Hal Finney wrote about that in 2010; it's not a new narrative.

A couple Lightning channels can open a lot of payment liquidity for you. Sidechains like Liquid didn't get much attention when fees were low but now people are giving them a second look. Chaumian mints allow communities around the world to set up their own community banks/custodians with built-in privacy.  Places like Cash App allow people to buy bitcoin with decent custodial assurances run by serious people (eg it's not some crazy-haired idiot in the Bahamas). These are all tools that people can use to have bitcoin price exposure, pay in bitcoin, etc. And a unique aspect of bitcoin is the ability to split control. Multi-institution multi-sigs, or federated sidechains: the fact that ownership can be broken into several different entities is not something available to gold or similar assets, and yet a lot of people take it for granted on bitcoin. These are all tools that businesses can offer and people can use for smaller amounts, and then pull into on-chain self-custody if they have a sizable balance for longer-term storage.

In the future, some soft forks or non-form upgrades might allow other types of models. I think the ecosystem is still in its infancy. But in the meantime, it helps to have perspective on what bitcoin offers compared to alternatives, and to be realistic about the long-run inevitability of substantial base-layer fees if any meaningful adoption becomes sustained, and thus the importance of preparing for them.

#Bitcoin    is not a god, and should not be turned into a religion.

It is an asset that incentivizes and enables saving as a wealth production strategy.

Free of human fallibility & corruptibility in the issuance schedule, #btc    incentivizes coordination rather than theft and scheming for its accumulation.

It is not a god. It is a tool for proper social organization. It spits in the face of fiat mechanisms as their strategies always fall prey to human corruption over a long enough timeframe. Worth acknowledging here is that #bitcoin    may fall prey to similar pressures, but #btc    is DIFFERENT in the same manner that #America is DIFFERENT from all other national organizational structures in the world.

To discard ₿ today because it is different, is similar to discarding the American Ideal in 1776 simply because it was different.

A few things worth considering.

Nostr Phising 101:
How to Avoid Getting Your Bitcoin Stolen

Nostr’s privacy flaw is that anyone can see the metadata in real time of who is messaging who.  Ameythst client currently lets you literally login as them, just the DM itself is jibberish.  When you combine this with the fact that most Nostr users have Bitcoin and are constantly downloading or trying out new clients, this makes Nostr the ultimate place for phishing scams.  Even if Bitcoin is not gotten directly, simply tricking someone into entering their private key into a scam client can be used to make them pay Bitcoin to not wreck their account.

In this post, I will give you some example scams I came up with, so you can immediately recognize real ones in the wild.

Scam #1) Target Developer accounts
Hacker watches the incoming messages of a developer account.  For example if I were doing this, I’d target Lume, since his code has bugs and people are likely writing him to complain about it.  Then when the incoming message comes in, I’d write from a different account claiming to be the dev on the desktop, not mobile, and link them to a scam download link with the bug fix.

Scam #2)  Fake SimpleX.
Many people on Nostr list their SimpleX URL in the profile.  Whenever this person sends an OUTGOING message, I’d fake being the recipient and immediately message them on SimpleX saying to talk here it’s safer.

Scam #3) Snowden’s DMs
Edward Snowden is among the most popular Nostr influencers.  I’d watch Snowden’s incoming DMs.  Literally anyone that contacts him, I’d immediately message from a different account saying that I’m trying to avoid surveillance with this burner account and let’s talk on SimpleX.  Then after a lot of back and forth, I’d tell them about a new privacy client to download.

</end>
Spread the word to prevent this kinda stuff before they are real.

Lol, I like a back up (2 is one and one is none) plus the spare that's in the bag which is basically a get to safety bag. Most times I do carry just one... When I travel to places I'm not familiar with or places I know are shitty like the Twin cities... Secondly when I travel I like options depending on what I'm wearing. The Glock 26 is probably my edc, and the smaller Sig 380 is a pocket gun. I can slip it in my pocket and it's easy to go into a store or something... Actually thinking about getting a Pistol Caliber Carbine that would fit in a bag as well in case shit really hits the fan.

This chapter is blowing my mind thinking back over 40 years ago. I feel like my time preference ratio heavily leans towards low time preference....

Working at a labor job in high school I saw older people busting their asses for little more than I was earning at 18. I thought what a shitty life that must be? I surly don't want to be like that... My only solution (because I had no entrepreneurial mentors) was to join the military... Heck I could put in 20 years and get a retirement...

Fast forward 10 years and I get bit by the business and investing bug (again a low time preference) then back into entrepreneurship because I wanted to become a financial advisor... Which didn't work out at the time (thank God) so I discovered #AMSOIL and became an independent dealer... After spending a month leaning about the company and the products I began working the business... After my first 30 days my first AMSOIL commission was $1.95 talk about a let down...

Many if not most dealers quit within a short time after starting because their time preference is very high... They look for immediate gratification... So they go back to trading time for money instead of planting trees to harvest later... This is why there are few at the top than those at the bottom. This is true for any sports, any higher level education, any investment strategies etc.

I don't know how to teach people to have a low time preference (meaning thinking about the future) I just knew (after seeing some AMSOIL commission checks from my mentors that if I only worked 1/2 as hard as they did I would be successful...

Once your figure out that a low time preference is better for your future than having a high time preference you then are attracted to others with low time preferences... This is how I found Nelson Nash and Becoming Your Own Banker.... Nelson's first rule... "Think long range, at least 70 years or 3 generations"

Even during the last few years of recessions, inflation and economic issues I still try to maintain a low time preference. I guess it's in my DNA.

Make a long term plan and stick with it. Adjust course only have much contemplating and advice from your mentorship circles.

Happy Hanukkah! As you light the menorah tonight, embrace the enduring themes of freedom, resilience, and hope that Hanukkah symbolizes. This festival reminds us of the power of light to overcome darkness and the importance of maintaining faith in challenging times.

During this season, it's also essential to remember that the actions of the state of Israel do not represent the views of all Jewish people. Many in the Jewish community stand in solidarity with the pursuit of peace and justice for all, including the people of Palestine.

Let us hold in our hearts the aspirations for peace and dignity in Palestine and around the world. As we celebrate these days of miracles, let's commit to fostering understanding, compassion, and coexistence.

May this Hanukkah inspire us towards a brighter future, where every community can live in peace and harmony.

PLEBS RUSTICA. THE PEASANTRY OF CLASSICAL ITALY

When all my country plebs gonna start using my hastag? Get with the program.

#plebsrustica

The Plebeian Order
The Plebeian order was composed of the lowest class of freemen. Those who resided in the city, were called “Plebs urbana;” those who lived in the country, “Plebs rustica.” But the distinction did not consist in name only, the “Plebs rustica.” were the most respectable.

Plebeians - The Plebs urbana
The Plebs urbana consisted not only of the poorer mechanics and laborers, but of a multitude of idlers who chiefly subsisted on the public bounty, and whose turbulence was a constant source of of problems to the Roman government. There were leading men among the Plebeians who were kept in pay by the corrupt magistrates in order to influence the 'mob'. Trade and manufactures were considered as servile employments, the plebs had no encouragement to work; and the numerous spectacles which were exhibited, particularly the shows of gladiators, served to increase their natural ferocity.

When I started running Synthetics I wondered how long you could go, no other company had a recommendation, AMSOIL said you could go 25,000 miles or one year. That was 1999. I've been running it ever since. I believe if you follow AMSOIL recommended intervals it less expensive. As far as performance, they've done a lot of testing vs other Synthetics... There is a pretty big difference in performance and protection. https://www.amsoil.com/performance-tests/?zo=5027237

That's interesting, what do you use that for?


Wow! Yeah that would suck.


Funny I was listening to G Edward Griffin on Thomas Breedlove podcast and he was talking about money and how it had to have utility outside of money... Then he said he liked bitcoin and "owns some" lol.

😂 Mainstream media is fucking Shitcoin propaganda at best.

Biggest question why the fuck didn't I buy stock in his company?

Yep, I'm locked into my payment for the next 30 years. I'm also at 2.25% fixed. I'll never pay this off, I'll use the extra to stack Sats.


Seems too good to be true. Prices are way higher than that around here. Median price per sq/ft is $267.... That one is only $189... I smell something fishy.


I like network marketing, but almost never lead with the opportunity. I'm mainly product focused then sort out potential people who are really enthusiastic about the products and it's benefits. Then go from there. Good luck.


🤔🤷🏼♂ Out of my league on that stuff.


That's what I'm hoping. It is open source... All these "tokens" seem to be on the radar of SEC and other government agencies... Just another reason to stay away from Shitcoins.


I wonder?
