I noticed that the US is now trying their hands at spreading Mpox fears 🙄. I also noticed how ironic it is to see Pakistan be the only country to proclaim that it's not dangerous.


Good choice, mate. I never was neither. Amethyst being my first time using social media. Still a bit of a pain trying to get used to it. 🤷♂


Aunt just arrived to babysit. Time to hit the road. Enjoy your weekend everyone 👋😁!


Hello 👋!

#randomthoughts #Bitcoin

Had some cousins over today. Good times! But... they all seemed to believe that corporations like Google and Apple and such are too large to fail. Friendly reminder that no company is too large to fail.


Why not get one?


Lol. I could literally get one tomorrow.


She would really enjoy her own little .22 pistol, I think. I mean, she seems to be enjoying her self-defense training quite a bit 🤷♂.

I think I'll buy her some gardening tools instead. She loves spending time in the garden.


A fine suggestion. Do you know of any good books on botany?


What a Beave statement 😂. The Tuttle Twin books is a good idea. As for the rifle and pistol suggestion, I think I'll just go with the pistol. Lol. Why a non-pink toolbox?

🤔 What should I get the little one for her birthday? She'll be turning 7.


I'm just teaching her a few basic techniques I learned from combatives training. Somes weapons handling techniques for small arms, a little boxing, and some BJJ grappling techniques.


I'm going to have to look into this a bit more. Appreciate this. First time I've caught wind of it. Time for my daughter's weekly self-defense lesson. ✌


I'm hoping people are bright enough to put two and two together this time around and refrain from falling for a load of bollocks like this but... I doubt it. Even with public distrust towards governments at its peak, folk still go crawling back to them when in need. They'll react in the same manner with big pharma. 🤷♂


Big pharma at it again 🤷♂. Ya reckon this will become a regular 4-year occurrence?

#bitcoin #randomthoughts #asknostr

Hello folks! Just got home. How's your Tuesday going?

Was thinking a bit about how Bitcoin adoption could take shape in the UK while I was visiting some out-of-town family members earlier today. Lol. Yea, I was a lil' bored but the little one had a good time 🤷♂🫡.

For me, I view it like this: it could replace the pound (obviously such a scenario will not promptly occur); dual currency usage (mildly possible but on a more local economy scale); Bitcoin-backed fiat currencys (not preferable but will certainly slowdown inflation rates and likely force a tightened monetary policy); Bitcoin could be used solely as a reserve asset by the current financial institutions (🤔 doubtful as such a scenario seems to already be failing); or traditional-style publicly promoted educational courses and training programs on how both the Bitcoin main chain and LN work (a more local population-based type of scenario that will hopefully convince non-coiners who have completed such a course or program to spread knowledge to local goods and service providers).

How do you all think adoption could take form in the country you live in?


Some ridiculous Trump interview he's conducting.

Were you meditating?


There is one more thing that I wish to say concerning your original statement. Mainly because, due to my firsthand experience with related matters, I believe that I have some sensible insight into this matter regarding the protests. These bloody protests have been occurring since the 9/11 era, but they truly aren't as severe as they might seem. The media will overexaggerate and misrepresent anything. They do this to cause tension between two cultural factions, therefore falsely (and unfairly) giving the government a seemingly justifiable right to use brute force on both factions. Don't fall for it. Obviously, I don't approve of them arresting our elderly for a simple social media statement, so if your parents use it, it would be best to convince them not to. Look here, luv. If you aren't seeing these riots on a daily basis, then they aren't as severe as you may bloody well believe. Also nowadays, AI can generate false photos to make them look worse than they are. It's too bloody easy to manipulate the public with tools like centralized media and AI. You'd be doing yourself a favor by ignoring ALL of it. Form your own opinion. Observe everything you witness in public. And be careful. 🫂


Sounds fun. Do you homeschool them regularly?

Lol. My little one was being a brat towards me all day, but then I made her some of her favorite dessert and told her that she could stay up late. 😅🤷♂

Not a fan of his but he is correct.


Psyops have been occurring since the bloody WWII era (possibly earlier). What has changed is the ease with which they are executed. Things like social media, advertisements, and even generic internet usage have brainwashed people without making them realise that they've been brainwashed. And even if they do come to realization, they've been persuaded heavily enough to believe that such a status is palatable. 🤷♂


Don't get yourself down, luv. Although I can't deny that I have been planning on fleeing the UK. The safety of my daughter and my mum will always take priority. 🤷♂ It is... what it is.

My last CO was too bloody inexperienced. Very little combat experience and he rarely took any advice from a lowly enlisted man like myself. Although I won't deny it, I do feel bad for him. He did lose a leg, I heard.

I've been in a chopper a fair amount of times. They are quite fun to be in 👍. Mainly the Bell 412. I've seen Apaches land on my base a few times, as well. I would hate to be under fire from one of those. 👀


She sounds like a good CO. Were you older? Lol.


I get it.

They do get weird. Hard to carry relationships like that outside of the service.

Rank can definitely overinflate a person's ego. I've seen too many bad calls occur because of that exact reason.


Lol. I'm not telling the missus about this little incident.

Oh course there will always be conflict. We're also not utopian in our ideals either. Violence will always exist, but when a group grants itself special powers and concentrates the violence into an ever expanding leviathan, that is much more a problem than anything that would happen absent government. Large scale wars only occur because of power concentration and unlimitef funding. Without the power to tax and print money, wars will be small and short lived


How was your vacation?


That's arguably one of the best descriptions of anarchism that I've ever come across. As someone who has witnessed firsthand all of the bloody chaos that governments create, I can agree with this. But keep in mind that it's also a necessity to find some form of peace within the evergoing chaos. That's the challenge. People aren't inherently good or evil. There always was, is, and will be conflict. We cannot avoid such a reality. Escaping in to a mental fairytale will only make such matters even more bonkers. 🤷♂

I just realized that you had surgery. What for?


So many nocoiners always say they missed the boat with bitcoin. Should have got in at 2011.

All utter nonsense. Such a dreadful fiat mindset. We are still so early, sats are ridiculously cheap right now.

In reality hardly anyone was here in 2011. The actual reality would be more 2015 and those who were here and got it deserved it.  And only if they still hold it.

The real test is stacking with a bitcoin mindset. That is the true visionary. It is the future of your time and energy in purchasing power stored with sats.

All of the great changes in History you missed out on, well here you are in the early stages of the greatest paradigm shift of all time. Step back and take a  look. You’re right in it. 🔥

I don't hide. I've been preparing for these geopolitical tensions and various other issues for a bloody decade! As to why others do so, well, there are many reasons: escaping into a mentally created fantasy can perhaps provide folks with a certain level of satisfaction or control that they feel may be missing from their daily lives; it can grant them an opportunity to explore personal interests that they feel they rarely have a chance of doing so; perhaps it can grant them desires or needs that are missing from their daily lives; or it can provide them with an escape from whatever stress or other difficulties that they may be experiencing.

I immediately told her to be cautious when it comes to prescription drugs. To be frank, she already knew though. She works at a pharmacy. She has an EEG scheduled for next Monday. We'll see.


Yup...

I'm reading about different kinds of epilepsy right now. I was unaware that it's as common as it is.


She's eight. And it happened at her house. Thank christ! But they aren't certain what kind of epilepsy it might be or if it even is epilepsy. I've read that many people have one seizure, only to never have another ever again.


Just took a peek at US bank and tech stocks... WOW! 👀


🤔 It sounds... quite amusing. 😂 Is it more comical watching the normies get freaked out or the cosplayers doing it on purpose?

Same bloody situation over here in London.


It could just be routine security drills, but I would understand why they're performing them a bit more frequently. NYC is obviously a prime target. Hitting there first would send the entire US populace into disarray, and then the entire nation would be open to attack.

I'm not in the US, but they've been passing by a bit more frequently over here, as well.


Anyway, I really do need to hit the hay though. It's late. ✌☮


It was quite nice. Very relaxing. She's been rather stressed recently. Her daughter had a seizure, for the first time, a few days ago. We just went to some restaurant that she's been wanting to go to for quite some time.

Many of the folk that I'm referring to are people who I care about, after all.

If they're attempting to scare people out of hodling, it won't be effective, at least not to those who genuinely understand how Bitcoin works. All they're doing is gifting us with a great buying opportunity.

Is this not essentially the same thing?
It has happened before and could happen again.

"Marathon Digital Holdings’ (MARA) new mining pool has mined a bitcoin block that is “fully compliant with U.S. regulations,” meaning the company has started excluding transactions from entities it believes are sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Treasury or have been involved in dark web activity.
The Marathon OFAC pool...“refrains from processing transactions from those listed on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN)” to stay “compliant with U.S. regulatory standards,” according to the company.
...
“By excluding transactions between nefarious actors, we can provide investors and regulators with the peace of mind that the bitcoin we produce is ‘clean’, ethical and compliant with regulatory standards,” Marathon said in a statement.
"

I bought these pepper and onion sausages today at the market and then I'm going to try my hand at something new and hope my daughter eats it: curried cauliflower and string beans 😅. I'll make some curried cod, as well.


GF is coming over in a short while to help the little one and I make dinner. Ehh. That's about it.


On that we can agree.


Okay. Well, you enjoy yourself, mate. I feel like you took some things out of context or perhaps missed the point i was trying to make. Perhaps, you missed my previous comment? Idk. 🤷♂


I know you didn't mean actual livestock.


I know what you meant, mate. 🙄


Lol. There were still plenty of civilians.


I know it's not the way. I don't like it either. Doesn't mean it won't happen. And it IS out of our control.


Have you never read about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?


I have a busy day, mate. Gonna type this up quick and we'll chat later if you wish.

When did I say strike? And I figured we were referring to larger populations. Hence my reference regarding government influence never ceasing to spread. The more it spreads the larger both governing and civilian bodies become.

I meant WMDs strictly as a means to threaten. I'm aware you'd make more enemies but trust me, nuclear powers have threatened foreign nations with nuclear force far more often than anyone believes. And it's worked. Obviously they won't advertise such a thing across the bloody media outlets. Also, I meant having WMDs, in general, should be prohibited if they wish to be in a position of power. That's what I meant by leverage. They can threaten anyone. Doesn't mean it will be their own people. Probably won't be. But, they might threaten others. And we don't want that either.


Damn! I'm up way too late again! 😅

Goodnight folks! 👋🌚


Yea, definitely. I'm not sure what kind of compromise they'll end up reaching, if it even reaches that point. I don't think it will. I think things will collapse FAAARRR quicker than we all expect.

To be frank, I think this need to have complete control over the global reserve currency will be the end of all these sadists. Eventually things will go too far—like if the UK's plan for conscription gets implemented—and everyone will lose it. Perhaps, martial law will end up waking people the fuck up. 🤷♂


That's exactly why I said not to trust everything in the article. I just said what the article was trying to proclaim. What I believe is that it's trying to turn people against Bitcoin and convince the populace that staying away from it will, somehow, help increase the strength of the dollar.


I would refrain from trusting everything in this article, but it's impossible for the US dollar not to collapse within, at least, the next few years, imo. And this timeframe seems to be shortening rather quickly.  Based on the article, it sounds as if they're bloody well nervous that Bitcoin will become the preferred method of international transaction over the US dollar or the possibility that the BRICS currency that is being planned will replace the dollar as the global reserve currency. I know that they didn't mention that last bit at all, but they've definitely considered it.

"to such cruel and devastating effect"

You can't even imagine...


You're wrong about everything, by the way. A government HAS to be, at least, sizable. That's not an option. It would get overthrown too easily if it wasn't. Many of the recurring issues that we face are largely due to the people's unrelenting laziness and reluctance to take action against our leaders when corruption begins to become widespread. Which is what we're witnessing now, on a global scale. The first step that needs to be taken is a call for the riddance of WMDs. Possessing WMDs grants the state far too much leverage against... well... everyone. Everything you have suggested is impossible, as long as those exist. Although I doubt that we will see them get rid of them in our lifetime.

Yes, but such a circumstance will never occur unless people become convinced of the benefits that arise from being self-sufficient. Once this occurs, people will see just how much governments and certain corporate leaders have expended their utility.


I don't really believe that there is a long-term solution in forming a harmonizing relationship with the state. Every time we have, it has been short-lived and always ends up imploding on itself. Bitcoin may play a role in ridding ourselves of the state... or at least assist in the formation of a completely new one. Also, why should we help them? I see no reason to do so. They always lie to us regarding their ideals from the very beginning.

Bitcoin may play a role in ridding ourselves of the state... or at least assist in the formation of a completely new one. Also, why should we help them? I see no reason to do so. They lie to us regarding their ideals from the very beginning.


"How do you propose to not have a state become tyrannical?"

To be frank, I believe this to be an impossibility.


Respectfully, this sounds a touch delusional. Governments don't have to start out as large organizations. That's not what matters. What matters is that their influence never ceases spreading. It's in human nature to become addicted to power.


Who would've thought that George Orwell would end up correct about everything?


Lol. I need to call it a night. 👋🌚

I've actually never fired a pistol with a 1911 style trigger. Good for rapid fire?


This is a beautiful pistol. And you're right. Surprisingly great for the money! A nice hefty 16 round 10mm. 👀


Hollow point? 😂 Who do you plan on shootin'?!


What do you currently use for your EDC?


Lol. Truth be told, military grade sidearms are not as good as most folk believe. 😅😏


Lol. Yup.


I know. Luckily, I never had much of a chance to use my sidearm. Everyone complains about those bloody triggers, though. Everyone! Although, most of us were able to tolerate the grip.


Check out the SW 627 2.6 in barrel.


Glocks are decent. I'm not a huge fan of 'em either. The frame is just too bloody blocky. They damn well do function well, though. 🤷♂


There are 8 round .357 Mag revolvers.


Those who make good decisions = those who reject state indoctrination

Those who make bad decisions = Those who whine all day to the government in an attempt to get free stuff and shun those who do the opposite


I suggest looking in to some of Glock's .357 pistols.


You could go with an old-school S&W revolver. They come in some nice calibers and some good compact frames. But, if you're that committed to the 10mm... sorry 😂🤷♂.


Lol. Do they, though?! 😅😏


.357 Sig could work. Good for EDC and it's got the stopping power.


I meant my previous statement to be more of a possibility than a certainty. And I'm right on board with you on that one, mate! I'm rather hopeful that we won't reach that point as well. That doesn't mean they won't try, though. To be frank, I believe that layer 2 solutions are doing an excellent job of proving that we no longer need them anyway, if we ever did. And they're only progressing.

Let's not forget that all of the government's nasty shit is extremely palpable at this point. No one can deny it.


It's either an attempt to keep more folk away from BTC itself or to convince more people to buy in to his ETF. That's my guess.


Best of luck to ya, mate 🫡! Wait till you see how many folk haven't got the slightest clue how currency valuation operates.


Hence the way society revolves 🤷♂. I can imagine that we'll see new state-run institutions rear their ugly heads at some point within the next decade or so. Replacing institutions like the Bank of England, the ECB, and the Federal Reserve and such.


Yup! £1k down the drain!

True enough.


Do you mind if I DM you?


If I was in your position, I would just ignore everyone who bothers you and focus on your bloody schoolwork.


I didn't discount that. If the person was a stranger, then they just really are not worth your time. Ignore them!


Lol. No. You could just ignore them. I live in the city. I do this all the time.


If someone doesn’t like you, that doesn’t mean you are oppressed.

No one has any obligation to like you, or even be nice to you. And if you angrily demand that they must like you or refer to you in a specific way, you only prove them justified in their feelings.


That's not the only way: just walk away.


Doesn't mean we hate you neither. Many folk have difficulty discerning any difference between hate and dislike. 🤷♂😏

https://time.com/6982015/bitcoin-mining-texas-health/


Yea, i mean fiat. Fiat falsifies values and is giving us a feeling that we lack of something. Lack of self esteem, lack of money, lack of cool clothes, lack of a cool car, lack of productive work hours, etc.

Somehow, it’s all the things that wouldn’t matter in a truth based world.

We don’t lack in family, time and quality. We deserve family, time and quality.


It's possible, I suppose. I bloody well know it played a huge role in changing my ideals about such a thing quite some time ago. But, tbh, that was largely due to family matters as well.

Although... here's the most challenging (and tricky) aspect of this concept: trying to convince everyone to garner the courage needed to go against the current systems that are in power. We're all very bloody dependent on them in one way or another. And most normies seem terrifyingly comfortable with that. People REALLY hate putting in effort to find alternatives for things that they've grown accustomed to. I'm not entirely sure that BTC will change everyone's philanthropic ideals but I do think everyone will gradually begin to realize how useless banks and other institutions have become.


Lol. I see that the guilt trip won't work on you.

Question for all of you, what is the best way to verify military status in a decentralized manner without the user having to provide KYC info? Is this possible?

The use case would be for a Bitcoin related company to provide a discount to veterans for its products but don’t want to have it be abused by those who haven’t served.

Some potential ideas that come to mind are zero knowledge proofs (ZPK) or some sort of decentralized identifier (DIDs) but not super technical.

#filmstr

Furiosa was bloody magnificent!


Well, what do you think? 🤔


It's a bit of a double-edged sword. Allow me to explain. When it comes to leadership on a grand scale, one doesn't necessarily need to have a good nature to be a good and effective leader. There are two essential and core aspects that we always seem to end up neglecting when choosing our leaders: assurance that they have and will maintain their good intentions, and honesty. Lol. Throughout my 39 years I don't think I've ever seen a politician who possesses those two essential qualities.


Lol. It's quite diffiult for me to debate with you on that one! All I can do is add the fact that many people often fail to realize that wanting to be led frequently creates a type of vulnerability and opportunity where it can become too bloody easy for corrupt rulers to gain dominion over the masses. Apparently, society loves making this same stupid mistake. 🙄

Yes, I agree.

It's been a while since I've bought a large amount, but my initial purchase was when Bitcoin was slightly under £300 per coin. I've explained this to people and how eight years really isn't too significant of a timeframe to experience such a large return. I also explain how the LN works; this has proven to be an unexpectedly effective approach when speaking to people 🤔. It doesn't work on everyone, of course. But... still.

To be frank, I've never avoided them in all my years. Lol. I just keep harassing them on economics and bitcoin, no matter how much they can't stand it. And they SERIOUSLY hate it! People dislike being told things that they were previously unaware of 🤷♂! Plenty of folk have even publicly insulted me for trying to educate them 😂😅.


As much as I would enjoy witnessing such a thing, I really don't believe it will change much. People are just too bloody terrified to go against them.

Yea, I just received one... for free ethereum. 🙄


That's true. Most things seem to be up in the air at this point 🤷♂. I think one thing is quite certain though: state control (and perhaps some corporate control) will begin to implode... one by one.


That and other reasons. Difficulty learning—among other cognitive limitations—is also a prominent reason why those who dedicate most of their time to doing so are often ostracised by large groups of people.


What's the best level of thickness to get close a 20+ year lifespan?


I believe it's been too late for quite awhile at this point. I think its price performance over the past fifteen years has been proof of that. Also, state-regulated infrastructure has been in a state of decline for far too long already, which I believe will continue to force people to take notice of Bitcoin. Whether or not Bitcoin will simply maintain its status as a stable investment asset or become this Trojan horse of a currency, as you mentioned, is certainly debatable. There are certain scenarios that involve the use of ICBMs that many naively believe are beyond consideration. If this ever happens, then bitcoin is worth nothing. 🤷♂

I wonder if a lack of advertisements had something of a catalytic effect on the quality of user interaction. I'm quite curious. I've never used tiktok, Instagram, Twitter or anything closely related. So... hard for me to say 🤔.


Perhaps addictive behavior is just more common on centralized social media due to them being strictly business and profit based organizations. Dedicated more to user data collection than anything else. Nostr users seem a touch more fascinated by the innovative aspects of the protocol and creation of decentralized alternatives. In short, nostr users don't seem to possess as much of a "all eyes on me" sort of mentality. Lol. 🤷♂ Just a guess. Quite intriguing to think about, though. 🤔

Hang in there, mate! I made my first purchase when it was slightly under £300. It always blows my mind when I take a glimpse at today's price. I, personally, believe the price pumps will only get larger.

I suppose you could start by taking into account your country's current unemployment rate, how quickly it's risen over the past few years, check if there's been an increase in military enlistment, immigration levels and how many of these immigrants are employed full-time.

Onboard a local farmer by asking to buy some produce directly and that you want to use bitcoin

If anyone had a use for maintaining purchasing power its them.


No, he does not. He dictates most of their financial decisions. She just listens to him because she's unable to consider a better, more beneficial, alternative. He's the reason why their family is living so bloody comfortably. The sole reason why he doesn't listen to her when it comes to financial matters.


"If they had to raise taxes to pay for all that spending people would riot."

You're still misunderstanding. As long as the US dollar keeps losing value as the global reserve currency, they will continue to raise taxes (which they just prosoposed to do so today). And people are beginning to riot! In the UK, people are beginning to become outraged about issues such as Sunak's conscription plan, the rise in living costs, bad public education and a handful of other matters. The US is not exempt from the outcomes of these problems. Just observe how high the unemployment rate has become in the US. The UK is no different.


The entire BRICS compact means that waging these conflicts will, in turn, become more costly for countries who are in opposition of them and less costly for the those which are allied. So, if living costs become more expensive for UK and US citizens, it means that domestic conflicts are more likely to escalate. If that happens, than it would be far less beneficial for the UK to allie with the US.


You've never lived in the UK. You've never fought in the wars that they've waged. I can't describe war to you. Sorry, lad! You won't understand!🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂


You aren't fully comprehending what I'm saying. Yes, that is not how they funded wars in the past. It's irrelevance is subjective, but you're still ignoring how cheap drone warfare can be. I've witnessed all of this firsthand. Why do think the Iraq War lasted so bloody long?


It's cheap for the state, but not for us. They could just keep raising taxes and have us pay for their wars. It's a very easy fix. Inflation isn't real! It's a purely conceptual matter. They've just convinced you and everyone else that it actually means something. Inflation has been going up, but the value of my BTC holdings has skyrocketed. What does that tell you? Who would we be paying debt to? Printing more money to pay off national debt would just lead to more Inflation! It would solve nothing!


You missed a vital and inherent element of modern day warfare. Drone warfare has made global conflict too easy and cheap to wage. Therefore, it's not all too difficult to wage a large-scale conflict over an extended period of time.


Yea, they don't know how to manage the stress of it all. My friend agrees with me on almost everything that I mentioned. He's tried to convince her on occasion, as well. It's quite disappointing. Seems completely mental to think in such a manner because I don't think they can fully comprehend the repercussions that such a great level of ignorance will have in the future, and they don't wish to feel like fools by admitting so. Forgot to mention that my mate and his wife already have two kids and are workin' on having a third. 😅🤷♂

#UK #parenting #WarPrepping

“more dangerous and challenging than it has been in decades… There’s China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. These things aren’t just happening far away, they impact us here at home.”

For any other parents who are living in the UK, keep in mind that infrastructural decline can—depending on the speed at which geopolitical tensions continue to escalate and the rate of attrition in our nation's natural resources—take nearly a decade, or possibly longer. Our nation and it's leaders, most certainly, do not possess significant enough resources or economic competency to grant our children the humble lives that so very much deserve. Or, at least, they are undoubtedbly not willing to share with us these resources that I speak of. If this war truly does continue to last and spread to various European and Western nations for the next 5-10+ years, many of our children will be eligible for Mr. Sunak's proposed plan for conscription.

That being said, everyone should start their own garden and begin stockpiling long lasting foods and water. And perhaps compose a backup plan which includes leaving the country. I currently reside in London. I, for one, have already spoken to my cousin and his wife in Switzerland about, potentially, moving in with them.

"This is a great country but generations of young people have not had the opportunities or experience they deserve and there are forces trying to divide our society in this increasingly uncertain world."

The hypocrisy of this statement—which was spoken by our most trusted PM—is truly remarkable. Speaking of "opportunities or experiences" that he wishes to give our young'uns while simultaneously forcing them into active service into a military which exists solely to serve a government that many of them openly (and rightfully) despise. Do not fall for their false sympathy and don't let our children suffer the consequences. No one should have to forcefully experience the horrors of war.

Lol. Alright, I'm finished. 😅🫂

Why, hello! And top o' the mornin'! 👋☀

Just wanted to let ya know that I ordered my own copy of the Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine.

Anyway, gotta finish cooking breakfast for the little one and I! Be seein' ya! 😎

It basically means that the US is at a tactical and practical disadvantage when it comes to the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Palestine. Oil supply strains are beginning to take effect. This will undoubtedly have a big impact on energy costs as well.


Just painlessly added a #nostr feed to my website using `nostr-react`

I'm starting to understand the potential possiblities of an open protocol such as this.

Same here mate! Same here! The lack of ads is a massive plus! 👍


No, I'm not.

Let's just say firearms regulations are VERY strict in the UK. It can be a huge hassle attempting to get a certificate for one.


😅😏 Apologies, mate. I REALLY have to refrain from speaking about that in a public discussion.


It's a big deal if you live in the US or one of it's territories.


Lol. Settle down. No need to give him any ideas. 😅


Lol. Spend less time on your phone. 👍😎


Better to have the job pushed back than be removed from it. A week ain't all too bad. 🤷♂

Good to hear. And goodnight! 🌚👋


Ya alright, mate?! Sounds like ya had one hell of a day!


I wouldn't mind a nice juicy dip. 🤷♂😏


Perhaps. I'm only saying this due to the unfathomable amount of capital that has been allocated in to Bitcoin over the past year alone! It's bonkers! 🤯


Most people find the idea of #Bitcoin reaching a million dollars difficult, but all it takes is a large wave of buying and, in return, a scarcity of Bitcoin, which leads to an outbid on the available Bitcoin.

No, Bitcoin does not need $20 trillion in liquidity to reach $1 million .

Liquidity does not represent the actual money coming in.

I do firmly believe BTC will hit £100k before the end of this year.

Goodnight! 🌚

And it would turn the US into exactly that. Exchanges truly have no other options though. Once their BTC holdings run dry, what comes after? 🤷♂


😅😏 I'm actually quite interested in seeing such a transition occur. Lol. It would make for a rather humorous social experiment. Oberserving how easily normies can be duped by nonsense like a man proclaiming he'll become the "Crypto President."


I'm curious to hear what kind of impression he gives you. Wish I had time tk watch it myself.


I'm coming to terms with the fact that there will always be sheep and wolves. There will always be a group of normies who don't want personal responsibility and just want to be numb before they are blindly led to slaughter one day.  And there will always be wolves who are ready to feed off these individuals.

But I also know there are lions who don't care about either of them.  My whole life I've look for ways to escape the clown world. For a long time I felt I needed to "get off the grid" and separate myself physically, but was trapped and never could.  Bitcoin gave me a powerful tool to exit the system and not become collateral damage to the mistakes and abuse of others.


I would never say the lions don't care. Their level of concern is just finite, at best. As it should be. 🤷♂


😎👍 Please do!

I don't care about them. That's their issue. Certainly not mine. There are absolutely no objective standards when it comes to my moral and ethical standards and I believe that makes them of much higher standard than any BS religious ones. I don't bloody well care if others don't do it. 🤣🤣🤣 I do it! Its ensured the safety of my family and that's all! Done! Goodnight! 🌚👍


Wow. They doxxed nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6. Hey Business Insider and Katherine Long. You can go fuck yourself.


How is that not the duty of a father? How isn't it the same of someone's son?

How am I playing devils advocate?


Why do you think? Or do you really want me to say why?


I vehemently disagree! I, most definitely, can speak that into existence. And i have done so. That duty I feel to protect my family comes from the belief that I'm the only bloke capable and willing to do so. I don't need some false deity to tell me to do that.


🤣

Not necessarily. Human Nature is it's own enemy.


Sorry... 🤷♂


Does anyone have an invite for Alby?

Thank you.


I'm not so sure about that one, mate. I don't necessarily see morality from that particular angle. I see morality as more of a component of the individual. And it being their duty to discover and develop their moral and ethical convictions. I've never felt the need to hold belief in a core set of principles to achieve this.


😅🤣 look luv! I'm just havin' some fun! Go ahead! I'm sure you'll be fine. 😎👍

... on the VERY bright side, you'll never be short on Vitamin D! 🌞😎


Yup. The UK is experiencing the same awful ramifications that he's referring to in the second statement.

I don't necessarily agree with the first half. There are no good sides during any war.


I'm well aware they're not supposed to. Neither are atheists.

Just like how there is no integral attribute about atheism to suggest that atheists have no morals or ethics.

There are bad Christians and there are bad atheists, as well. It's a human fault, not a fault with personal beliefs.


"Besides, atheism has led to most of the worst of humanity in the last ~century. That's a signal that it isn't the way."

It sure has. But, they chose such a path. There are plenty who commit to the opposite. Christianity has also been behind some of the worst atrocities humanity has ever committed. Although, that is obviously not the case for all who follow these beliefs. All religions possess some very dark historical segments. 🤷♂


I know I didn't. 🤷♂🖕


And for what it's worth, I would never say that atheists are idiots, they just have a very different perspective on life and the concept of a soul. One of the common criticisms towards atheism is that an atheist individual has a complete lack of any moral or ethical convictions. This isn't true, at all. And so far I have never once heard anyone make a justifiable argument against such a belief. It can actually be somewhat disheartening to hear sometimes. 🤷♂


Lol. No worries, mate. Ya ain't gonna convince me otherwise. Believe me, you're far from the first to try. We'll have to agree to disagree on this matter.


I use amethyst. Happened to me, too.


It's had a stellar outcome so far


Most people are financial slaves, fat, lacy and uninspired, like overweight sheep that follow the herd to the slaughterhouse.

Do the opposite of what 99.9% of people do and you will be financially independent, happier and healthy as fuck.


Yea, that's a better way of explaining it. I don't believe in God. I told you of this. But, I do believe in some kind of afterlife. I doubt rotten souls like them would be welcome.

Yes, I agree.


Yea, that's a better way of explaining it. Avoidance of death and judgment seem to be innately affiliated though, no?

Yes, I agree.


https://m.primal.net/IaoX.jpg #selfobservation


Yup. Their fear of death is so pathetic to the point where they feel the need to engage in acts of depravity that extreme. Can't wait to watch it backfire.


Well... then why waste your breath? And what exactly have you attempted to explain in your attempts to convince them otherwise?

More than 4 billion people are unbanked because banks require everyone to be identified on every side of the transaction. This has built a totalitarian surveillance system that monitors every financial transaction from every corner of the planet. #Bitcoin fixes this.

Humans naturally have a partially arbitrary nature, as only the minority are capable of effective leadership and commitment to any kind of progression. Most are cowards and will be terrified to commit to anything that they know will place them under pressure.

An individual always has free will. And nature itself always chooses the proper "disorder", not order. I know how insane it sounds, but the whole concept of order is binary. Order and disorder are not different. They form some type of totality.

So, in short, being able to choose wherever you wish to settle on the spectrum of evolutionary disorder. 🤷♂
