 I’m confident Nostr will play a large role in my pursuit of starting a small marketing agency for plebs and non-corporate, value-driven businesses more broadly. Including my npub in all my cold emails moving forward. Happy holidays, psychopaths 🫂 https://image.nostr.build/529b97bafa0d572e7c034857bc89e207f17945b34a315296e3d3cd5a7a42c58b.jpg  
 I’m going to see if the local meat shops will do a blend for me. Otherwise I’m ordering from these guys. Committed to dialing down my diet and exercise next year 🫡 https://image.nostr.build/00f438db243d283e1f3a4e5644440aa7789d892b557eb0f4974089f3557f49b7.jpg  
 Does this mean another country is going to being buying Bitcoin before the halving?

 This handsome boi is how I “touch grass” and remember that there’s more to life than #Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/1921849a38ea2588d87a94225cf31acfd333f3238e6fe89059be1c59be591c96.jpg  
 Not surprising. Price-related #Bitcoin  video garnered the most traction on r/bitcoin. It’s likely that the title format encouraged engagement as well (lots of comments). I need to try non-price related videos with similar titles like “Bitcoin is a waste of energy” or “WhAt AbOuT EMP aTtAck?!” 👀 Open to suggestions 🫡 https://video.nostr.build/1512c1070c44c952a68189af3326329cbaa1f7e75588d1e4138bd6b906eb0992.mp4

 I skimmed through 4 Hour Work Week and got a lot of value from it. Walked away realizing I need to hire an assistant eventually (or in my case a project manager). 
 The mail is fiat and Kramer wants Bitcoin. https://youtu.be/Hox-ni8geIw?si=o66qwYXJQrrrJbz2 
 #Bitcoin'ers... anyone have receipts? If presented well, this is a powerful point to show no-coiners 👀 "...[Liz Warren] has become the Banks’ most reliable lackey, the Congressional puppet of Jamie Dimon - attacking & doing her best to restrict & regulate away his competition." - BitPaine - https://x.com/BitPaine/status/1719684705828876524?s=20 
 Fuck yeah. I was just about to ask if I needed to go out an buy an android phone to play. We’re so back. nostr:note1swarlz46hwruzcjmwlkxu2utr800vdwytaepvc2ys9yw6n3dmm0qeejddc 
 I’m in a The Yardbirds and The Zombies kick. Shill me more music that’s better than The Beatles. 
 ‼️BREAKING‼️ I created a #Bitcoin knowledge base to better leverage #ChatGPT for educational content creation. I asked the AI pleb to rant about Bitcoin. Here’s the result 👇

Alright, let's get into this. The world doesn't just need crypto; it needs Bitcoin. And here's why:

1. Bitcoin is the Blueprint for Financial Freedom:
Decentralized and private payments are not just a luxury; they're a necessity in a digital future where we want to retain our civil liberties and personal freedoms. Bitcoin provides a blueprint for a global payment network that protects our financial behavior instead of serving it up to corporations and governments. It's not just about making transactions; it's about preserving our rights in an increasingly digital world.

2. Bitcoin is Digital Gold and Cash:
Satoshi Nakamoto's genius was in creating a system that's both digital gold and digital cash. It's scarce, decentralized, and requires significant effort to produce, just like gold. But it's also instant, borderless, and permissionless, like cash. This dual nature gives Bitcoin its unique value proposition. No other cryptocurrency can claim this combination with the same level of security and decentralization.

3. Bitcoin Empowers the Vulnerable:
While the Western elites might dismiss Bitcoin, it's a lifeline for millions in emerging markets. It offers financial inclusion, especially for women and vulnerable groups, allowing them to own assets secretly and protect themselves from financial exploitation. In many parts of the world, Bitcoin isn't just a luxury; it's a means of survival.

4. Bitcoin is a Silent Revolution:
In authoritarian regimes, where power is concentrated, Bitcoin is the silent revolution. It's a tool that can topple dictators by stripping them of their power to control money. By using Bitcoin, you're not just making a financial decision; you're making a political statement. You're joining a global movement that demands financial freedom and accountability from those in power.

5. Bitcoin's Energy Consumption is Justified:
There's a lot of talk about Bitcoin's energy consumption. But here's the thing: every watt consumed by the Bitcoin network is a testament to its security and decentralization. It's the price we pay for a system that's immune to censorship, fraud, and external control. And when you weigh that against the financial freedom it offers to billions worldwide, it's a price worth paying.

6. Bitcoin is Predictable and Transparent:
In a world of ever-changing monetary policies, where central banks can print money on a whim, Bitcoin stands out with its unchangeable monetary policy. It's transparent, predictable, and free from human interference. This makes it a reliable store of value in an unpredictable world.

7. Bitcoin Challenges the Status Quo:
The rise of Bitcoin challenges the traditional financial system and the very notion of money. It forces us to question who gets to control money, who benefits from its creation, and who suffers when it's mismanaged. Bitcoin is not just a cryptocurrency; it's a critique of the existing financial order.

In conclusion, while there are thousands of cryptocurrencies out there, Bitcoin stands out. It's not just another crypto; it's the original, the most secure, and the most aligned with the principles of decentralization and financial freedom. So, when we talk about the future of money, it's not just any crypto we should be looking at; it's Bitcoin. 
 #Bitcoin Is Financial Freedom. The script isn’t perfect and I need to improve the production quality a bit, but I like this meme format. It works so well with a 60 second video. https://youtube.com/shorts/FYZZ54_Hm6Q?si=fvrJu_IyQQjegGV- 
 In varying degrees, every societal problem is downstream of humans’ most vital technology being corrupted by both good and bad intentions. “Fix the money, fix the world” is by default the answer to everything. #Bitcoin is proving to be the technology to make it happen. 
 I had a nightmare about #inflation. Need to touch grass. 
 Care to share an example? I’ll post it on my IG for the 100 normies that watch my stories. They don’t get it here in the west 😞 
 What questions/topics regarding content marketing can I answer? Not for Bitcoin, but for the plebs starting and running businesses. I’ll record explanations to earn some sats 🧡 #marketing #contentmarketing #seo #freelance# #circulareconomy nostr:note1g8j703swy2yukqyqeq6kqn8qtufy8dzjljqcssvp9l7emkh5tzqsp78y52 
 Mash had a marketing role open on Bitcoiner Jobs. Instead of a traditional cover letter, I let my #marketing autism fly and recorded a Loom. Sharing here because why not? You might get value out of it as an entrepreneur or small business 🤷‍♂️ Hire me as a consultant and pay me in #Bitcoin for a discounted rate. (Suggest listening at 2x): https://www.loom.com/share/25cb118a6166407ab26ef9410ebdcaeb?sid=006979e2-df20-411e-97bd-f67ed8499abe 
 As the dust settles on cultural war stuff, what will have slipped through is unprecedented banking policy’s and greater movement towards financial surveillance. People will gladly scan their face for entrance to a store or pay with their hand. #Bitcoin + farms, ranches, and market gardening. This is the real lifeboat. 
 I introduce myself as Jake, but my real name is Jacob. 
 Extending offer here. Guess the set up and I’ll send you $100 in #Bitcoin. It’s an engagement experiment on Threads. Curious if #’s bring in any impressions. https://image.nostr.build/2d64d127eaa477c5daeba23c8565f713188bdcf924c619ec5bda558d4436f609.jpg

 Nope. But I love the educated guess. I’ve never shot with an older DSLR so I’m not sure. But I love the Sony. I learned to shoot on film with a Minolta and use that its 50mm on the Sony all the time to mimic the feel of shooting analog. 
 It’s like riding a bike! 
 Who do need to follow to keep up to date with #Nostr #Damus and other clients (it’s “clients” yes?)? Preferably #Substack or equivalent for longer reads. 
 Propagated sweet potatoes and planted them at my parents (along with edible mushrooms in logs & wood chips). Fun family project ❤️ #growstr https://image.nostr.build/33f4f1d5385a769fa493841933b06b5999576cf1fde1b3c95b10dc3a1f0e2af6.jpg
