 ViaBTC is auctioning off the “epic sat” from the halving block and the current bid is 5.5btc… 

Can’t believe people would spend over 500 million sats for 1 sats. 

Also today someone bought the original “buy bitcoin” sign for over 16 btc. 🤯

 Today is earth day. 

If you really care about the planet and humans you know we need to fix our energy grids. 

One of the key drivers of more widespread, reliable, and efficient grids is Bitcoin Mining. 

Real environmentalists are leaning into Bitcoin mining not opposing it. 
 Nice find

 Idk if i would be tbh. 
 I love seeing @calle 👁️⚡👁️ cook. 
 CK’s razor: in Bitcoin don’t attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice. 

Aka don’t assume they are dumb. Assume they are smart and up to no good.

It’s a good thing Bitcoin is for enemies. nostr:note1temptex8hzzl4q6xuqctymk4ydasd3g4ye66z425erxqu6awy8cq38ww36

 Serious question, why did Swan mining stop pointing their hashrate at Ocean mining pool? https://image.nostr.build/fb3dbb4711d7953d90195f44a11d8b9421a6b5768cc47bcb63ca9dc4fc5ddfc3.jpg

 Bullying OpenSats members for funding is not a great strategy.

No one has a given right, if you ... 
 Unfortunately some people looking for funding do not understand how to build trust, advocate for their project, and take feedback to improve. 

It’s a vicious cycle for them that only increases their frustration which makes them lash out more. 
 Thanks to the degens my estimated daily mining rewards are up 50% vs yesterday. Won’t last, but... 
 Love seeing miners getting paid. 

Its gonna be a long epoch. 
 Everyone wants Bitcoin to succeed and save us from the fiat hell. They just disagree on how. 

I ... 
 What people need to accept is what they can’t control. 
 Happy Halvening to those who celebrate. 
 🫡 
 I’m bullish in permissionless innovation that keeps the bitcoin network ahead of the curve. 

You can marvel at it or you can get mad. 

Your choice. 
 Happy Halving Nostr fam!

I hope your next 210,000 blocks are even better than your last 210,000 ...

 Happy halving fam. Glad to be on this ride with you. 
 Learn more about the Finney Freedom Prize at finneyprize.org 
 The Human Rights Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the Finney Freedom Prize, an award designed in Hal Finney’s memory to celebrate global achievements in the area of Bitcoin and human rights. 

Hal Finney was a renowned civil liberties and privacy advocate, open-source software developer, and electronic cash pioneer. Known for his mantra that “the computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them,” Hal spent decades working on open-source privacy and freedom software, and his career culminated in making historic contributions to Bitcoin in the project’s early years, before his life was tragically cut short by ALS in 2014. 

The Finney Freedom Prize will be awarded to the person who does the most for Bitcoin and human rights in each halving era.
