It's not a bull market until Coinbase goes down. lol


Tell Walker we said hello when he wakes.


I'll be humble for 99% of the people I interact with. There are a few MFers that are gonna get the "I Told ya so" because they were jackasses.


This #bitcoin thing seems to be catching. You might want to get some just in case.


I'd say UAE as well. Doesn't Bailey live out that way? If so, I'd assume that he is in the know that it would be them.


Sorry to hear, best of luck. :(


nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx You mentioned a while back about a plane company that has <60 seats so they fly by different rules. I can't remember the name of it. What was it?


Every time I see this clip posted, I have to stop and watch it. They just made a movie about this guy with Anthony Hopkins. I have not seen it yet, but it just hit Amazon.


Didn't it just come out that there was massive manipulation in these markets? Not 100% how accurate these markets are. If he wins, yeah, the rage will be intense however.


I like paranoid crypto anarchists. Good folks doing good work. Big fan.


#Nostr we did it!

I won my 5th World Championship belt.

Broken nose, a few stitches, and a couple more MRI’s but we did it!!!

I love how they mention that if prices rises for good, that late comers will be impoverished. If it rises for good, even late comers will benefit.


I love the guy with the hat. As he walks up to the car, he sees the cam. His whole demeanor changes and turns around.


Gotta give it to gold, we are all on the side. Congrats to the goldbugs.


Changing myself for the better. The remainder of this year and beyond is going to be amazing. I'm not waiting until 2025. Let's do it.

If it shall be, it has been a wild bear market with all of. Salute!


Just voted. God damn I don't feel good about it. This is the best we have to offer? These two?


Since COVID I now keep a stock of 3 packages of TP and paper towel for this reason. If I ever use 1 I just re-buy the 1 and continue keeping the stock. People are crazy. There are a few other staples I do the same thing for.


I only buy new tshirts at concerts. I wear the same two shirts to work since I go in twice a week. Life is easy my dude.


Shout out to  nostr:npub10wv37amdqnv8edw5yktgsxr62g8k4lqkk2u66fk6c6uwuakzssxsf4v22x. For today I have started reading his seminal work, "The Principles of Economics". I've had this book for 3-4 years, and have finally started it. Solid read. Should have started earlier.


Not sure on coinbase since I have not used them in years.

I see you are moving it to Strike which is great(Lightning Network). I will say be careful if you are moving to main chain where you will want to look into UTXO management(future fees may eat up smaller UTXO balances). Just an FYI.


Time to hoard TP and paper towel.


Great episode! I understand your logic as you explained(thank you!). My only question is, does the unemployment picture play into your thesis given that it now appears that the trend is up? Keep up the great work.


Are they distributing coins or dollars?


Tornado Cash? Needed a banking license. Samourai Wallet? Needed a banking license. WhatsApp, Apple, X, probably all need licenses too.

Sounds retarded? Correct. That's why the SEC has proposed a rule to formalize licensing requirements for communication protocols.

In a speech at the annual U.S. Treasury Market Conference, Gensler announced to rule on proposed amendments to the Exchange Act by November, which expand the definition of the term "exchange" to mean "systems that bring together buyers and sellers of securities [...] (i.e. "communication protocols")."

Critics argue the rule may be weaponized to criminally indict software developers given the already hostile environment for crypto- and privacy devs.

If this rule passes, we are fucked beyond comprehension.

One saving grace we have was the Chevron case.


I look forward to the day where I never have to hear Creed again.


I hope so, I want Peter McCormack to win his Mike Green bet, hah.


For seed oils, is avocado oil a solid replacement? Is it even considered a seed oil? How about 100% pure olive oil? Thanks for this post, much appreciated.


What a replyguy.


Me too. For awhile where I lived I had a speedboard, built specifically for straight hills and speed. You had to bend over a bit and hunch so wind wasnt as much as a factor. The fastest I got clocked in my area was 42mph. In Cali and higher hilled areas, it's much much faster.


I look forward to the $69,420 memes. It's been too long!


You can tell he's yours, you guys are twins.


Not at all. I have some silver ounces as well. Have they sucked compared to BTC? Absolutely. But there is something nice to having something physical.


I recommend Slayer.


It looks great. But I'm at a point now where I am done with phones. I went to a pre-paid low tier plan so I have to heavily restrict data and it forces me off the thing and not to be reliant on it or stare at it constantly.


A currency should measure real prices. Real prices are falling. Ie - If you measure prices in bitcoin versus the dollar you will
see all prices are falling (by a lot) over the time periods you’re talking about. In other words, it’s happening while people are asking when is it going to happen.
Not a light switch but a slow and grinding path (with volatility from one system and chaos and control from the other) with each person eventually understanding their own role in creating the world they see.

The biggest problem (imo) is that few people do. Ie - The majority of people are actually giving strength to the system they hate by converting Bitcoin (mentally or otherwise) to a piece of manipulated paper (fiat) to then price things.  Reinforces that it is a trade.
Hope that helps.


BREAKING: Bitcoin mining centralization.

OCEAN reaches 56% of unique miners receiving newly generated coins.

Our latest block paid out 50 unique Bitcoin addresses from the coinbase, meaning 50 people received bitcoins directly from Bitcoin itself, not from a middle man.

Over the past six months, 174 addresses have received bitcoin payouts direct from the blockchain.

97 of these were miners mining on OCEAN.

This is the way. Join the revolution. https://image.nostr.build/ https://image.nostr.build/c919eca2d1cd48daedc45c985ab7d61c33fe371d2dd97f7bc7275fb03ac3db15.png d92872452c388990787660e1ff890c9e30df6e615506d020fd83df189819e93e.png


Said another way: “The citizens using their freedom of speech on social media sites are more powerful than our propaganda and we can’t have that.”

These despots are really going to hate Nostr when they finally figure it out.

I'm approaching year 4 in this space, and I have to say....

Holy hell it has not been easy. But I wouldn't trade it for the world, or fiat.


Im currently reading Rothbard's "What Has Government Done to Our Money." There was a quote in there that I read today in your voice.

"Increased productivity tends to lower prices (and costs) and thereby distribute the fruits of free enterprise to all the public, raising the standard of living for all consumers. Forcible propping up of the price level prevents this spread of higher living standards."

Do NOSTR signing devices exist? Team that up with a Sparrow type software to interact and post would be excellent. Though it would take a learning curve.

I have no clue.


Well, we're waiting!


thanks!


What is the best client for long form? Can it be accessed via web browser?


This makes sense, I appreciate it!


If you need to transfer your data to a new nsec(not sure if I'm using correct wording here), can it be done? Obv with bitcoin if you need to transfer funds you can move it to a new wallet. Is that available in NOSTR? #AskNOSTR


Just finished it. It has been a blast going on this journey with you. Good luck to all future endeavors!


Thanks for this. I assumed all was well but this cleared any inkling.


I slice them up if they are large. Add some salt, bacon, mozzarella cheese and italian seasoning for a tomato salad in the summer. With vinegar and oil. Amazing.

Or I'll just down cherry tomatoes all day long from the garden. 1 for me, 1 for the bucket when I pick them.


They are on my list to see for sure. The closest date to me is about 4hrs away on a worknight otherwise I would car it. I usually go to more gurgally metal stuff. So other than John 5 I have Nails, Black Dahlia Murder, Hatebreed, Suffocation and more. Scratching chalkboard kinda stuff. But Powerwolf is one I do need to see. I did just see LoG this week, as well as Action Bronson(rapper), and Orbit Culture do a solo show. Great stuff. Always fun. Keep going! Never a dull moment.


Nice! +1 for Powerwolf. That should be a banger.


What is the next show on the docket? For me it's 'John 5'. Current guitarist to Motley Crue (ex Manson, ex Rob Zombie). His solo work is stunning.


The ability to move your money and identity globally offers some protection due to escapism via Bitcoin and Nostr, in the really rough scenarios. Like Venezuela.

Locally, we should note that it’s not like Telegram users are arrested. That would be unworkable. Only the CEO was. The more individual a policy gets, the more expensive and unpopular it is to enforce. There is no CEO of Bitcoin or Nostr.

The1930s gold ban was brutal, but hardly ever enforced. Going after individuals was both expensive and unpopular. That applies today as well. And information travels faster now. We should use it.

Structural debasement requires obfuscation in order to secure unaware seigniorage from its public. The more that it’s brought to public awareness, the weaker it is.

What you can do: make money honest again.

Make them tell us our laws.
Make them tell us we can’t hold sound money.
Make them tell us we can’t transmit digital money to our friends like we would with cash. And then ask why.
Make them tell us they need to tax us, because they can’t quietly debase us.
Make it more transparent. Shine a light on it and ask people if it’s just.


I'm in that boat now. Im aiming for 1,000 concerts before I die. Just hit #328 this week with another 12-15 this year planned. (All brutal metal shows). My hearing is.....not great to say the least. Don't be like me, lol, keep wearing the plugs.


It's not my job to convince you. You have already decided your point of view. I have better things to do.


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

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

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

Stopped drinking ~4.5 years ago. April 2020. At the end it was bad. Figured it out. Onward! Congrats!


It’s even simpler, there’s no such thing as “hoarding” money that can be objectively defined, and to save money in any form it literally the act of providing resources to the economy without taking anything in return. It’s the BEST thing you can do for economic productivity, to produce and not consume.


Yes they have. If you have not played EDH I recommend that style of play. It is a lot more of a social way to play MTG and a lot more fun (depending on playgroup) and you can build some crazy stuff. But it is still really enjoyable.

If you still have cards, the values are now probably wildly different since they have been on a reprinting binge lately.

Im at a point where I vote for who will be least embarrassing. And this election, I cannot tell.


To confirm the red/green light, it quickly flashes red then turns green, correct? Asking for a friend...


I could feel the gas roll around in my gut region too for that entire time. It just makes you feel fat and bloated for quite a bit longer than you think.


I had hernia surgery a few months back. Same thing. Bloat you with gas. The shoulder pain was the worst. Mine lasted 5-6 days and the actual surgery pain just cleared about 2 months in.


Stacked it. It isn't easy. But I wouldn't have it any other way. #bitcoin


How do you handle having so much in bitcoin? Mentally, that is. Some days this is draining.


He's still the best boy though.


Danny and I just wrapped up the final episode of What Bitcoin Did at Bitcoin Park, recording with some of our closest friends in #bitcoin - nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle  , nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub10cxz2h7n6rumfpuf49zt4uvm7skzqk5u25vesp0tzdtnkvsnwjyqaffcj3, along with special appearances, including my son.

The episode will be released on August 30th. After that, we'll take a week off before launching our new show (the worst-kept secret).

After 7 years, 860 podcasts, countless flights, and visiting about 40 countries, the time is right. Time is precious. I need to travel less and focus on Bedford, the football team, family and bringing to life everything we've discussed over the past 7 years.

I believe we're entering a new era where #bitcoin is a legitimate part of every conversation. Our new show will reflect this, so we’re building a studio in London and evolving the format where #bitcoin is the heartbeat not the headline.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this. I couldn’t have done any of this without the kindness and generosity of so many of you, especially nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj .

I'm humbled by it all and everyone of you.

When I am estimating the return I need on an asset I always use the rolling 10yr M2 CAGR*1.3 for tax. The U.S. M2 is about ~7% growth rolling so you need over 9% to 'get ahead'. Round up, I use 10%.


Thanks everyone, I'll check out the suggestions!


Thanks! I just checked but that is not available in my region, sadly.


What is the best way to setup a wallet on NOSTR? Just the Primal app? I've only used Primal on my desktop and browse on the phone via a web browser. #AskNOSTR


Great show. It will be missed. I look forward to what you do next!


Nostr serves as the credible backup plan for when governments seize or ban X.


It has finally hit me, the importance of #NOSTR. The public/private key pair, making sure what you say is signed by you. I understood on a real basic technical view, but being able to sign any message is quite remarkable. If anyone questions if you said something, look for the signature. I always thought, "oh yeah, that's cool nifty tech" but never really thought deeper on it. I think I get it now.

This is going to be one hell of a ride.


Garden update: A few more weeks until the corn is ready, but I was able to eat my first cherry tomato and a meal sized portion of green beans. The best part of summer is flavor from the garden. #garden #summer

They are going to read The Mandibles before you do. 🤣


What is #NOSTR currently reading this week? Personally, I just started "Invent and Wander" the collected writings of Bezos. His writings reminded me of the Buffett letters where the only take that should be considered is the long game. Great read so far. #AskNOSTR


The Joys of Compounding is an excellent read. I have both the first and second edition. That is a book that I don't see mentioned often but it is a banger. I do slightly prefer the first edition more than the second (both excellent). And I do agree it greatly changed how I see things.


I have been lurking for over ~1.5 years before I created this npub and now intend to stay. I created 1 or 2 in the past as tests. But as of a few days ago, ya got me.


Hell yeah!


Testing out #NOSTR today. I have not had a traditional social media account in 10 years, but this one seems promising. Onwards.
