Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

I always wondered why he said that. Apparently it comes from Psalm 22.

Psalm 22

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?

2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer;

and by night, but find no rest.

3 Yet you are holy,

enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4 In you our ancestors trusted;

they trusted, and you delivered them.

5 To you they cried, and were saved;

in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm, and not human;

scorned by others, and despised by the people.

7 All who see me mock at me;

they make mouths at me, they shake their heads;

8 “Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver—

let him rescue the one in whom he delights!”

9 Yet it was you who took me from the womb;

you kept me safe on my mother’s breast.

10 On you I was cast from my birth,

and since my mother bore me you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,

for trouble is near

and there is no one to help.

12 Many bulls encircle me,

strong bulls of Bashan surround me;

13 they open wide their mouths at me,

like a ravening and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint;

my heart is like wax;

it is melted within my breast;

15 my mouth is dried up like a potsherd,

and my tongue sticks to my jaws;

you lay me in the dust of death.

16 For dogs are all around me;

a company of evildoers encircles me.

My hands and feet have shriveled;,

17 I can count all my bones.

They stare and gloat over me;

18 they divide my clothes among themselves,

and for my clothing they cast lots.

19 But you, O Lord, do not be far away!

O my help, come quickly to my aid!

20 Deliver my soul from the sword,

my life from the power of the dog!

21 Save me from the mouth of the lion!

From the horns of the wild oxen you have rescued me.

22 I will tell of your name to my brothers and sisters;

in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:

23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!

All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him;

stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!

24 For he did not despise or abhor

the affliction of the afflicted;

he did not hide his face from me,

but heard when I cried to him.

25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation;

my vows I will pay before those who fear him.

26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied;

those who seek him shall praise the Lord.

May your hearts live forever!

27 All the ends of the earth shall remember

and turn to the Lord;

and all the families of the nations

shall worship before him.,

28 For dominion belongs to the Lord,

and he rules over the nations.

29 To him, indeed, shall all who sleep in the earth bow down;

before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,

and I shall live for him.,

30 Posterity will serve him;

future generations will be told about the Lord,

31 and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn,

saying that he has done it.

Because I am genuinely stupid when it comes to math.

I cannot understate this.


That's close and thank you for that!

I would also like to be able to turn the exchange rates off so I could calculate a stack by a theoretical dollar value as opposed to the actual current dollar value.


So here's a thing. Mostly for my own interest.

Is there a calculator out there where you can input a bitcoin amount, sat amount or dollar amount and control those variables independently to mess around and see what different prices would do?

I'm very visual and terrible at math and I would love to play around with something like that.

Obviously you could calculate your stack, or any amount at a certain dollar amount (preferably multiple) but you could also flip it around.

Maybe that's a stupid request but I don't really think so. Could be fun to me around with.

#asknostr #plebchain


So to stack quiety is the smartest move then.

Especially for those of us who will be better off but not rich by any means.

If Bitcoin goes to $100m+ then it's a game changer for everyone who stacked.


This is a very good skill to develop going forward.

(Repost with corrections)

A note I wrote to a friend regarding my thoughts on Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, Art, Store of Value, and Medium of Exchange

In short, I believe Bitcoin will both empower and free both gold and silver as it continues to emerge as a new asset class.

Of the three, bitcoin is the most undervalued, but they will all benefit from Bitcoin's existence. Here's how:

Bitcoin will share and capture a big part of gold's role as a Store of Value as it is easier to store, protect, and transport. Gold is still concentrated value in physical form.

Collectible art has worked well in many cases as a Store of Value in concentrated form and is unique in that it is an asset that you can hang on your wall and enjoy its added benefits of meaning, inspiration, and beauty.

Neither gold nor bitcoin work very well as a Medium of Exchange for everyday transactions. Gold is cumbersome, and bitcoin transaction fees are high.

What does that leave us for a Medium of Exchange?

First, an ideal Medium of Exchange would be a bearer asset (not an IOU or someone else's liability). More on this in a minute...

Fiat: These are "IOU nothings," so they will cease to exist unless governments back it with gold or bitcoin in a way that people will trust it (a tall task indeed).

Custodial Bitcoin: The top contenders are Liquid Bitcoin and bitcoin-backed Chaumian eCash, which are both "bitcoin IOU's". I believe these can be more secure and trusted than asset-backed fiat. These, in conjunction with Bitcoin Lightning below, are likely to gain popularity.

Lightning Payments: This is a bearer asset  bitcoin payment protocol that offers low fees but can be difficult to set up and manage, so it will likely be handled by a custodial service for digital wallets.

Silver: Silver is a proven Medium of Exchange that is a bearer asset. I could easily see this returning as a physical Medium of Exchange after the dollar collapse.

Art is not well suited as a Medium of Exchange, but it can be in many instances.

Conclusion:

I most likely see people using bitcoin and gold as their preferred Store of Value with Bitcoin having the most upside because rapid adoption is likely to continue for all the reasons that make it useful.

The most popular Medium Exchange to emerge is hard to predict. I suspect custodial bitcoin will do well and dominate online and distance payments. The only problem is that these custodial solutions are not bearer assets and require a degree of trust. The trust required might be able to be reduced to an acceptable level with technological advancements. It is quite possible that we'll see silver gain popularity for in-person transactions as it is a proven and simple bearer asset for everyday transactions. If so, gold will benefit and can easily re-emerge as a Medium of Exchange for larger transactions.

Conclusion:

The existence of bitcoin makes it easier for people to leave abusive relationships with their governments. It provides an escape vehicle that will weaken governments' ability to tax. It will force governments to compete, and it will handicap their ability to compel. This will remove the chains that have long held down gold and silver.

The existence of bitcoin will help free humanity, gold, and silver. And it will be the catalyst for a new "Golden Age" of human expression and liberty that will result in an explosion of the arts. The future looks bright!

#gold
#silver


It doesn't hurt to check. Normally I might agree, but frankly, I'm not that big a fan of the word itself to begin with.


The S8 was actually a great camera. I had that same phone and some of the shots I've shared here were taken on it.

Samsung doesn't mess around with camera quality.


Just clarifying. That word tends to be used by gay communists to mean: Only gay, black, disabled, communist women allowed.

It has been used to death.


Contrary to what a lot of working photographers will say, smartphones are absolutely a valid way of taking amazing photos. They're actually where all of the most recent sensor technology innovations have been going until more recently.

The best camera you own is the one you have with you at the time.


That actually tracks pretty well with the rest of my life. 🤣🤣


Oh interesting. I think I quite like that.


What does that mean then?


That was the friend who got me onto the platform. That was his incentive. It worked.


Interesting.

I won't save in anything but Bitcoin. Good move!


I feel this. I've struggled to provide properly for my family over this last year or so. Balancing the things they need versus our financial obligations (which leave some to be desired since the plandemic) among other things. It's hard.

Not to mention, I'm in a higher tax bracket here in Canada (you know, the first one at 20%) so that doesn't help.

No wonder I was so willing to delve so deeply into Bitcoin and the light it offers at the end of this stupid fiat tunnel we're all in.

It’s been a very difficult era to be a proper man.

Inflation degrades earning power and ability to provide perpetually. Housing and food is always less affordable thus having a family always get harder through time.

Masculine endeavors have been under attack by the media for decades. Women have also been encouraged to be more masculine and provide for themselves while being trained to have distain toward typical male behaviors.

Processed foods and hygiene products have a negative effect on male hormones, literally emasculating men at scale.

Rebuke the modern attacks on men. Men need to provide, protect and lead. It’s the natural order.


I guess this one? I looked up a list and this one intrigues me as a skeptic.

I never got the opportunity to meet my Grandfather, sadly the grief of Iran being taken over killed him. But, I’m grateful for his legacy.

You either understand history, or trust the government. But you can't do both.


With the number of media and tech companies of various flavors that seem to have no problem using the terms "purchase," "own," or "buy," instead of the reality that we largely rent our media and tech in one way or another logically leads one to the conclusion that downloading content in what would be traditionally seen as pirating is no longer illegal, or at the very least, is no longer morally wrong.

I believe it was Sony that had the Discovery stuff on their platform and even though people had bought it and had it on their systems, Sony chose to remove the content entirely so that even those who had spent money on it no longer had access to it. They're far from the only ones as well.


Absolutely agreed.

Extra GPU's formerly used for mining. I'll probably sell many of these but keep a few for swapping out into my rigs.

A Real Rap on Real Estate

In the dance of wealth, where truth and lies entwine,
Houses once stood, symbols of our design.
But beneath the surface, a truth concealed,
Fiat’s erosion, their fate was sealed.

Deluded buyers, blinded by the lie,
Houses crumble as the years fly by.
In this tale of shifting wealth and gain,
We find reflections of our human bane.

So let us heed this cautionary verse,
As Bitcoin’s rise calls for a reverse.
For in its wake, a shift is seen,
To sound construction, long unseen.

Classical architecture, born anew,
Guiding hands, patient, steady, true.
No longer hasty, this time with care,
Building legacies beyond compare.

For in the ever-changing dance of fate,
Bitcoin restores, it does not abate.
It’s not just wealth, but values that await,
In stone we build, our legacy, innate.


Well thank you so much! I will continue to share and enjoy the memes you gift us with!


Me: I think I’ll try to go to bed early in order to get a good nights sleep.

My brain: That’s hilarious. Here’s a thought. Why aren’t there any Bitcoin-centric healthcare companies? Why aren’t we doing that instead?

I've never cared about being "Canadian" and even less now than ever before.

My values never lined up with those that others professed to hold.

My wife and I have at least found a largely Christian community but the Bitcoin aspect is entirely absent bar three of us. People where we are mostly don't understand it and are content to bitch about the problems whilst not offering any solutions.

I wouldn't begin to know what to call myself in terms of a digital nationality.


-blessed are those who plant trees under whose shade they will never sit


Bitcoiners are people who choose to go through the pain of the adoption phase to fix the money so future generations don’t have to.


Precisely!


Nevermind, the Prime Minister of Canada is Fidel Castro's son, so I guess that counts too.


I once saw a Cuban cigar.

That's the extent of my interaction with Cuba.


Always post your videos after deleting them first.

There are a lot of things we were prepared for with parenting but many things we weren't as well.

Life is crazy and awesome but very busy and ridiculous as well.


Until you have kids then it becomes

EXPERIENCES BECAUSE THE KIDS WILL HAVE FUN AND WE'LL HAVE FUN WATCHING THEM HAVE FUN + THINGS BECAUSE THE KIDS NEED THEM AND/OR BROKE IT SO WE NEED TO REPLACE IT

Your house fills with more and more crap whilst you spend progressively less time in it.


Oh I gotcha!

Am dumb.

I believe i bought it in 2015? It's an ASUS X550Z if that helps offer context. It wasn't a great laptop, but I have it and don't use it. Might as well play around with it a bit.

If this little experiment works out I might invest in something a little more robust and maybe set up another relay, maybe paid maybe not.

We shall see.

PFP = Profile photo
NIP05 = Blue checkmark
Nostr. wine ≠ Alcoholic beverage

Installing Ubuntu server on an old windows laptop.

Intention: to set up a nostr relay.

We shall see how this goes.

Of course it does which is why I'm not an insane person and go and do it.

Everybody takes everything so damn literally.


Damn. I've been looking for ways to repurpose it so I can remove it as an influence in my life. Too many other things to do that are more important.


Could I reprogram my Xbox One to mine Bitcoin?


Things like this motivate me to look up how to make a tazer at home. And overpower it severely.


You can not steal that which is a gift!


For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!


The best thing about this one is that it is infinitely stealable.


Not buying Bitcoin.


Repost this...to repost this...just because.


Nostr is on fire once again. Every single time governments or large centralized tech platforms censor their people or their users, Nostr comes out of nowhere as a screaming beacon of hope. We may not have advertisements here on Nostr, but we do welcome the free advertising. Welcome to Nostr, new Nostriches.


I'm with you 100% on this.


Well, what do we have here? Is this a new home for my text notes? 🤗

Since we are making #introductions - I’m Jessica Chasteen, or Garden Variety Jess. I’m a gardener, writer, teacher, designer, and overall social media nerd.

I stumbled onto #nostr over on TikTok during discussion of our collective need for a decentralized social media platform that allows us to maintain digital ownership of our accounts and not be subject to the whims of the algorithms.

What’s funny is I thought: you know who might could help us is nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m without even knowing this existed yet! 😎

Nostr and Bitcoin take your sleep away.


BOOTSTRAPPING A GLOBAL BITCOIN CIRCULAR ECONOMY WITH SHITPOSTS.

AS IT SHOULD BE.


If there's a decently robust video platform that I'm not aware of, I'll happily use that, but for now I'm thinking Rumble and maybe a backup as YouTube. Dedicated posts on Nostr, maybe with unlisted videos or something for the Creatr profile I have.

I'll adopt these additional apps/websites as they appear but I'm willing to use legacy stuff until the protocol is more fleshed out.

A well-worded version of:

NO, U!


They certainly shouldn't. People wonder why relationships have become commoditized and the divorce rate is so high and I think it can, at least in part, be attributed to smartphone addiction and disengagement for the same reason.

I don't want to cuddle with you after we're asleep, and I don't want to send memes back and forth in bed at night and pretend that is an acceptable alternative to being engaged with each other.


This never happens to me because I'm not addicted to my phone and i know blue light affects my sleep. It's always her sleeping after me.

So a friend asked why I refer to things as “fiat”.

My response:

The money isn’t “money-ing” (Inflation)

The energy isn’t “energy-ing” (Renewables not meeting our demand needs)

The food isn’t “food-ing” (obesity, diabetes…)

Her response:

You’re pretty far down the 🐇 🕳

Nose hairs are literally some of the most important hair you have when it comes to your health. They filter out all sorts of things like dust, bacteria etc. I will never trim mine and any self-respecting man would immediately ignore this request.

Becoming a father has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done in my life. By a long margin, I might add.

When I come home from work, I am more often-than-not greeted by an excited and smiling little girl running straight into my arms. Mom is usually not far away smiling as well. On my weeks off we explore and play and have a ton of family time.

Impromptu naps on the couch, little moments of exploration, dance parties in the kitchen. All of these things are wonderful additions to my life that I will treasure forever.

I hope everybody gets to experience joy like this. I would wish this on everyone.

Daylight savings is a bi-annual experiment in waiting for someone else to change it.


Bitcoin isn't expensive, Fiat is.


The government is literally stealing your life with taxes and fiat monetary inflation…

As a conservative example:

You start working at 20.
You work until you’re 65.
You pay +/- 33% of your income in taxes.

The government takes 1/3 of your working life…

They have stolen **15 YEARS** of your time, energy, and work.

And for what?

For roads? (LOLOLOL)

For a broken education system?

For a medical system that wants to keep you sick and medicated?

For the military industrial complex which gets rich off foreign forever wars you never agreed to?

And while they are stealing 1/3 of your life, they are PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR, stealing MORE of your time/energy/life force through the destruction of your purchasing power.

The taxes you pay don’t even fund the government; an ever-growing pile of national debt does, fueled by money created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve System. The dollars in your bank account are worth less and less every year, as your purchasing power is systematically destroyed.

I am grateful #Bitcoin exists so I can opt out of this nonsense and save the value of my time and energy.

Anyway, have a beautiful day.

For example, i installed a new front door on my house for a rental unit i put in and normally you would need approval from the township and a buildinh inspector.

My problem is that i don't care about their gay rules and i needed a door so i built one.  I also overengineered it, so it's far sturdier than your prebuilt doors.

We live minimum three hours from the nearest large city,  two hours from the nearest big town and several thousand miles from my giving a fuck about Canadian building regulations on my own land.


Agreed.


Nostr is the kinda place that reminds you growing herbs and fruit trees on a small acreage is doable, seeking peace is valuable and not having a regular “presence” is looked upon favorably.

Keep that energy.

I run into this issue as well.
Many like to complain;
Few actually desire solutions;
Fewer still understand that there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.


Canada does have some upsides, but i can't in good conscience recommend it. Otherwise, i was purely assuming and making a half-joke comment.


This is why I oscillate between intelligent conversation and sounding like a total fool.

I don't always know what I'm doing but I've gotten pretty good at getting people to assume that i never do.


Moscow time started back when Jack was still at Twitter during COVID. One time he took a meeting from his home with a block clock mini in the background. It was showing the #Bitcoin price in sats per dollar.

Some dude on Twitter thought it was a literal clock and observed that the number was quite similar to the 24hr clock time in Moscow at the time of the meeting. This dude inferred that Jack supported Russia, and that the clock was a dog whistle.

Bitcoiners on Twitter tried to disabuse him of his ignorance, but he just doubled-down. So in Bitcoiner fashion, we adopted the term “Moscow time” to mean the price of a dollar in sats. It’s now an inside joke to ask a Bitcoiner if they happen to have the time in Moscow.

As to your question, it depends on what level you're looking at. A well-lived life consists of many layers and six years can be both a short or a very long time.

High level but abstract concerns would consist of things like:

How do I develop and execute a plan to leave Canada should that become necessary?

How do I deal with increasing Tyranny while balancing daily life?

How do I stack sats while balancing and ultimately reducing my fiat bills and ideally eliminating fiat from my life entirely?

How do I build and plan a non-state education for my daughter?

How do I build and manage a location-independent business for my family to live off?

I could go on, but all of these are pretty big concerns that all fall writing the timeframe of six to ten years and some beyond.


I do know this.


To gauge a man's character, one simply needs to observe how he treats those he perceives as beneath him.

Are people not talking or are you not engaging with what is here?

I struggle with some of the conversations here from time to time. I'm not a developer, philosopher or someone who is super into meme culture.

I'm just a regular guy trying to provide for his family whilst trying to learn as much as i can about Bitcoin, photography, and DIY so i can do that better.


Don't move to Canada. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.


“Why are you so into #Bitcoin?”

A new global reserve currency only comes around every few centuries.

A new foundational monetary technology comes around even less often, every few millennia at most.

Bitcoin’s rise and fiat’s demise affect each and every human being on this planet, as money is half of every economic transaction.

And because of Bitcoin’s immutable, unconfiscatable, and digitally scarce properties, it is the best saving mechanism in existence, which makes it the most powerful lever for individual liberty in existence.

With it, you and your family will have the ability to pursue whatever you find most meaningful. Without it, hyperinflation will erode your savings and your freedom.

How could anyone not be into Bitcoin? https://image.nostr.build/e824f44c4b8a8ce229636198252adba46f09baf2d18a45d51881525fd4286e4c.jpg


Fred will do it.


At some point in future the incentive set will flip from governments trying to extract wealth and Bitcoiners trying to protect themselves from the parasites, to the HODLers saying “fuck that” and using their wealth to counterattack.

Bitcoin has after all solved the Byzantine Generals Problem and can coordinate across time and space with an uncensorable, publicly visible, ledger.

We are going to see new games played in new ways that were heretofore unimagined, and Bitcoiners have the new superior technology whilst the Parasites continue fighting the last war. nostr:note1pgk49dwk9lcu7e392tr904eu9kcar0xc7qteff3nhg3mtmusn34st5hvtm


GM nostr.

If governments cannot forcibly extract wealth from their citizens the incentive to control a larger population will be diminished.

If the world is on a Bitcoin standard and a war were to cause large scale destruction, the capital that would need to be deployed to rebuild would reduce the amount of Bitcoin being hodled and would reduce the purchasing power of the aggressor.

If governments cannot print money and cannot force their citizens to pay taxes, they will be forced to either provide valuable services to the population or they will not survive.

Bitcoin will casue a massive amount of global peace.

Have a great day!


If you're a progressive, give yer #BTC away in lotteries. This would satisfy your need for attention and help someone in need. Randomly. Across the whole world. This would do more good than you're doing now.  Because focusing on so many things at once has made you dizzy. #grownostr


Agreed. The core values that Bitcoin is built on are fundamentally opposed to those "values" that are espoused by progressives.

Reality is incompatible with their delusion.

### Apostles' Creed
1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:

3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:

5. The third day he rose again from the dead:

6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:

8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:

9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:

10. The forgiveness of sins:

1l. The resurrection of the body:

To Bitcoiners responding to my opsec post with "If you're in public you must accept that someone will post pictures of you online without your consent".

No I don't have to accept that. Nobody has to. You don't have to either. If you post pictures of people without their consent, it doesn't matter if it's a public or a private event, or if it's legal in your jurisdiction or not. It all doesn't matter.

If you don't care about it, it simply means that you don't care about the privacy of others. It means you don't care about the other's right to decide whether Apple, Google, Meta, or X should be fed with their faces. It means that you're feeding surveillance systems with locations, biometric data, and the identities of Bitcoiners around you.

Nobody cares about what's legal. This is a moral question. A question of your own principles in a world of all-encompassing digital surveillance.

Reject surveillance, respect privacy, remember your cypherpunk manners.

The Carnival of Venice is occurring now.

Venetian masks are sometimes used to symbolize decadence. But historically, there was a lot more to them than that.

Centuries ago, Venice was a highly stratified society, meaning big gaps between the wealthy nobles and the commoners, and between men and women. But the Venetian carnival, and any parties where the masks were worn, were opportunities for the nobles and commoners to mingle as equals without knowing or caring someone's social station.

The masks removed identity, and along with it, removed many consequences of interaction. People could speak their mind and interact more thoroughly without the heavy restrictions of the social stratification. And they could be critical of the current social structure without it necessarily being tied back to their identity. If society is open, then perhaps anonymity is rarely needed. But if society is closed or repressive, then anonymity is a tool to change minds while minimizing the consequences to the individual.

And Venetian masks were all different and beautiful, coming in all manner of styles and colors. The wearer could express themselves without revealing themselves, similar to how we might think of a social media avatar today, but in the real world.

Authoritarian/fascist governments on multiple occasions banned the carnival and criminalized the wearing of the masks, because anonymity and social equality were perceived as threatening to them. But as those governments fell, the carnival and tradition returned.

Anyway, good morning Nostr.

If you need to tell people about things you do (virtue signal) because your lack of results don’t speak for themselves, then what you’re doing sucks.

That isn’t my opinion. It’s a fact. If you want a better body, and you tell me about your IntErmItTeNt FaStInG and all of this shit, it’s cute, but if your BMI sucks, what you’re doing ~isn’t working~.

You gotta tell people because you don’t have results.

Change what you’re doing.

This applies to everything in life. Some people get results and most people chirp on the sidelines. Don’t be a loser. Get in the game and stop talking about it, be about it.

Then you look into the ownership of Coinbase. Want to guess? Blackrock, Vanguard. WEF.

Coinbase is not captured, it was already owned and an active part of the WEF's plan. I assume it is their attempt to centralize Bitcoin the same way gold was before they swapped it out for the fiat standard.

On tuesday next week, Julian Assange's final hearing takes place in the UK. If he loses this, he will likely be on his way to the US where he will most definitely not get a fair trial. Australian politicians approved a motion calling for the release of Julian Assange but this is simply too late imo, seems more like a symbolic moral action from their side than anything else. Assange has been tortured for many years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London and in Belmarsh prison, and is in very bad physical and mental health according to his wife nostr:npub1xw7h0efeg5s8gla2uyu55jh4lfrlgppcjemrwkmdc7lgvhkcz3fqpvumsa.

I need a web and graphic designer for some paid projects. Doesn’t have to be the same person but you’ve got to have incredible taste and the ability to start ASAP.

I would love to do some videos for skateboarding. Cinematic stuff. I live doing creative work and I feel like this would be an interesting challenge.


I'm trying to do it legit, I just don't want to get fleeced by bank fees. We're looking into USD bank accounts at the moment.


Question for my Nostr friends.

I live in a border town (Ontario/Minnesota) and I'm looking for a method to convert BTC to USD while my family and I are there.

I am sure there's a way to do this so that I can largely avoid conversion fees at the Canadian bank.

Does anyone have a USD off-ramp that they use on occasion?

I feel like between VPN's, USD bank accounts and some kind of off ramp I could skip the fees at the bank and just convert BTC to USD while I'm in America.

Anybody have any ideas?

Quick Take
The imminent halving event for Bitcoin in April 2024 will slash monthly issuance from 27,000 BTC to approximately 13,500 BTC and bring daily rewards down from 900 to 450 BTC, giving Bitcoin an inflation rate of less than 1%.

My current home setup includes two rigs. One GPU rig mining Flux to be converted to BTC and one S9 mining to Nicehash.

The GPU rig is elevated on a shelf in my office with a standing fan. Currently, I can't use it to heat the house because I have a 1 year old daughter who I don't want in my office messing stuff up. Window is open for now.

The ASIC is in my crawlspace so no need for additional venting as it is situated near my cold air return vent. I have them both on dedicated circuits I installed for my original GPU mining operation when we moved in.

I'm not 100% certain where I'm going to put the second ASIC. Possibly in my dining room or maybe down with the first one.

A  Photographers value add is both tangible and intangible. You can provide value through both printed material in the forms of photographs and albums and you can provide an intangible value in the form of preserved memories and feelings in response to your images.

 Bitcoin is an appropriate trade for this because it is pure value for the value that you provide on multiple levels as of photographer. I'm starting to become of the opinion that it is not worth being of photographer if you do not accept coin as a payment method. Obviously we cannot do a pure Bitcoin standard in my many places yet but I don't think it'll be long until that's the case.

Lego makes bouquets and as a lifelong Lego fan, I'm okay with this.

I grabbed a rose bouquet for my mother for her birthday because roses were planted on my Father's grave so they've always held special significance for our family.

Plus, it's kinda nice that they'll never die. I wouldn't replace all living plants with their Lego counterparts, but they certainly make a fun addition.

I think I might be different from the other guys in computer science.

I like code that just works, forever. It seldom gets new features, never gets major rewrites, doesn't require you to buy new hardware or force you to update your software for it to continue working.

At the same time, it doesn't forbid you from upgrading your software, firmware, or hardware either. I like boring software.

Everyone else wants to build something "new", with development tools that aren't in any stable Linux distro, which will be abandoned in 6-18 months. It's all about "new" features, which could be fine, if they were built to last.

What I like is the exact opposite of what VC money wants to fund.

As for the "new" part, there's seldom anything that is actually new if you are aware of what has been done in the past.


Tell me about it. Canada largely acts like a "progressive" US state. I would argue it's worse on the whole than places like California. There's not many ways to escape the stupid here even when moving provinces, whereas the states are all governed very differently.

Federal governments are shit no matter where you go I feel.


I know Andrew Henderson talks about El Salvador with some regularity but I haven't looked into that as a destination much. My apologies for not being more helpful in that regard. I'll look into it a bit more!


I love the idea of being able to freely use a social platform in a job where I'm not supposed to have my phone at all because it's so niche that there's no way our incompetent and overbearing HR department will ever discover me here.

At what point do tax paying American citizens begin to push back against this overt theft and money laundering into unproductive endeavors by the government? You spend your life developing knowledge, skills, a network, maybe a business, and work your hardest to make a good life for yourself only to see one third of your income siphoned off into a black hole of corruption and incompetence that is actively making you, and society at large, worse off. The Founding Fathers took on the British Empire because of a 2% tax on their tea.

I do like this response! Very good!

The reason I made my statement is because the most common response I've ever gotten to expressing that I'm uninterested in remaining in a country with an actively hostile government (🇨🇦) is something along the lines of disgust that I could be so unpatriotic and that I should be ashamed of that.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness and lack of shaming on the subject! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

CIA and deep state pulls elected officials strings. using the US dollar as a foreign policy weapon was a strategic mistake. The west is more worried about China than Russia. State agencies are in constant contact with each other playing the strategic games around the world. US is most powerful propaganda machine in the world.

I need remember this. I look at the business that Jared Polin built and I think "I can do that!" But I need to remember that he started somewhere small as well.


The trick to achieving anything is lots of back to back short term goals. The rest is just grind.

People get caught up wanting to jump to the end right away and get burnt out or discouraged when they aren’t getting there fast enough. This is such a common trap.

Focusing on small wins will keep you going, and after awhile you’ll have results that are a bit better than everyone else who gave up.

If Bitcoin went to 1m, it would not change my life.
If Bitcoin went to 100m, then it would.
Either way, I plan no changes. Stack as long as I'm able and prepare to exit Canada if that becomes necessary.
Failure to plan is a plan to fail.


One should prepare for the possibility that the #bitcoin price soaring will be an anti-climax. Number go up doesn't automatically fix everything in your life or give you what your soul craves. You still have work to do. #plebchain #nostr

So today I set up my Antminer S9. I had a bunch of old infrastructure from when I was mining ETH so I repurposed some of that.

So far so good. The unit came with the nice quiet fans so it's more or less silent being set up in my crawlspace.
