 IDK THIS MEME JUST FELT RIGHT https://i.nostr.build/p5l4MjANn1U55NT1.jpg  
 All of us when hyperbitcoinization finally happens: https://i.nostr.build/NxwWZxVvcPHA47KJ.jpg  
 If you’re against voter ID you don’t get to claim that people need to vote for your party’s candidate to “save democracy.”

Anyway, hope everyone is having a nice Saturday. 
 It’s a beautiful day to be alive. https://i.nostr.build/p6OZNcxJutprec4N.jpg  
 I can’t believe @HODL left out PLANETARY risk.

You’re obviously not a real Bitcoiner until you’ve distributed keys on the moon and Mars AT LEAST (and of course at least one key orbiting the earth hidden in a satellite). 

You need to be training to be an astronaut. 

You need to volunteer to go on the first mission to Mars. 

But then of course you introduce single-body mortality risk. 

So naturally you need to grow your own secondary skin suit, with an automatic consciousness upload should your primary skin suit get damaged beyond repair. 

You need to be developing Altered Carbon-level redundancy. 

But then of course what happens if you accidentally upload your consciousness to an alternate skin suit before your primary skin suit fails?

Now there are two of you. 

Can you trust YOURSELF?

But is it really YOU at all? Sure, it has your memories, but now those memories are divergent… what if Other You starts selling your Bitcoin and trading shitcoins? 

Now you have to battle yourself to the death…

THAT’S what it means to be a Bitcoiner. nostr:note1zsek9l3kwvyqh05faeeqlxfvhpzamgl08a0vn292t0gpqlwy6u2qwkmch7 
 FEMA’s budget is $30 billion.

We sent $175 billion to Ukraine.

 I just published a new video on Nostr via @Highlighter  ! Check it out: 
Free Speech, "Disinformation" & The New (Clown) World Order -- @efenigson   on @Titcoin

 Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🤙🏻🫂

 My next goal is to get users to reduce their relay lists from an average of 20 to 3. 

You don't ... 
 I am guilty of having too many relays… 
 I miss our chickens every day…

 “Prosperity happens because you have good money and you have a community that trades. Government is the opposite of that. It is literally cancer. The fiat system is cancer. We have cancer. And you cannot fix cancer. You cannot just get radiation every week. You have to cut it out.” 

@TheGuySwann and I jumped on a @Titcoin live stream on zap.stream today for a Random Rant. 

tl;dr >> THE GOVERMENT IS CANCER

 I think you’ll find we agree with this sentiment in the episode ;) 
 The government takes almost HALF of what you earn through various taxes. 

The government DEVALUES the money you manage to save by printing more out of thin air (inflation).

AND THEY STILL SOMEHOW DONT HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FUCKING CITIZENS.

THIS IS FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING PISSED OFF.

 Should we just jump on an impromptu “FUCK THE STATE” session on zap.stream?

I am now a zap.stream addict and can set it up immediately. 

I’ve got like an hour to rant if you’re down? 
 Paging @TheGuySwann — I’m about to say fuck it and do it live 
 Padded with power here they come
international loan sharks backed by the guns
of market hungry military profiteers
whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
with the blood of the poor

Who rob life of its quality
who render rage a necessity
by turning countries into labour camps
modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom

Sinister cynical instrument
who makes the gun into a sacrament --
the only response to the deification
of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
idolatry of ideology

North south east west
kill the best and buy the rest
it's just spend a buck to make a buck
you don't really give a flying fuck
about the people in misery

IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

See the paid-off local bottom feeders
passing themselves off as leaders
kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
open for business like a cheap bordello

And they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy

See the loaded eyes of the children too
trying to make the best of it the way kids do
one day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
to find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
they call the revolution

IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

And they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy

 Should I do another Nostr-only live stream of my @Titcoin talk with @Mandrik today on zap.stream? nostr:note1rz7mvfxl7x2ujjvd5flqpscl4r3n35my49xre4fp278rzvquawpqwmh9cc 
 Don’t worry we’ll be done by then 🤙

 The problem with government bureaucracy is it stands in the way of ordinary citizens trying to help their fellow man. 

Individuals, acting voluntarily of their own free will, are more efficient and effective than a bloated bureaucracy.

Any #podcasters out there wanna share their preferred RSS hosting platform?

 I am a simple man, so I just use https://rss.com 
 YouTube decided to put a banner on my video with @efenigson on @Titcoin  warning about the “New World Order.”

Apparently talking about literal UN source material is a “conspiracy theory.”…

This makes the thumbnail I chose for this episode even more appropriate! 😂

 The Barron of Baklava (idk if he's ever been called that but I'm going with it) AKA  @Mandrik is joining me on  @Titcoin today.

His open-source baklava is the stuff of legends at #Bitcoin conferences...

Let me know if you have any questions for the Sultan of Sweet 👇

 Can’t believe I missed that one! 😅

 I truly hope Trump keeps his promise and frees Ross. Like I really fucking hope he does. And to be clear if do I vote I will not be voting for Kamala. 
 Bank of America is down.

 I hear from a good source that Julian Assange thinks nostr is interesting 👀 
 BIG IF TRUE 
 Thank you to all the beautiful plebs who tuned in via the “ALPHA” test of nostr:npub10qrssqjs... 
 Thanks for joining guys. This was a blast. 
 This is so dope… and he’s even wearing a WALKERS shirt mind blown 🤯 
 I use Riverside and it was my first time doing a live stream today! Worked pretty well with Riverside.

 Kind reminder: if you dislike using centralized video platforms like YouTube and Rumble, you can find all my  @Titcoin episodes on zap.stream.

Here's the latest one with  @efenigson :
https://zap.stream/naddr1qpyyv5j9g4zy7nfdweej64zgg5k5u32h94t575jvgsk575jyg4fz63txwfshgt2xv4hxjemndahz64zgg5k5y6t5vdhkjm3d2phkgcmpwd6z6utvxfk8zmczyrzgu20sfdyzesqu58u7lryxa7p33szeur5n2v34zchssrexu9xpzqcyqqqgtwc4l7e93

It's still always amazing to me that I can post my videos on  @Highlighter (built by  @PABLOF7z ) and they are automatically pulled into zap.stream, flare.pub, etc.

It's honestly magic.  
 Not a slow week at all! I just genuinely think a conversation with @QW and @corndalorian on @Titcoin will bring people value, and I am personally really excited to talk with them.  

Bitcoin podcasts all having the same “big name” guests over and over and over again is fine and understandable because those big names generate the most engagement. This is the incentive structure of the podcasting world. A Saylor interview will always be a podcaster’s number one most viewed episode. Heck, even outside of Bitcoin, Joe Rogan gets exponentially more views when Elon Musk comes on than when it’s a random MMA fighter, but that doesn’t mean that random fighter won’t bring a ton of signal and unique value. 

This is my hobby, not my job, and I’m making a point to have whomever the hootin’ heck I feel like on THE Bitcoin Podcast. 

Sure, I have “big names” on the show, because many people won’t even look at a podcast unless the guest is someone they recognize, and those big names are big names for a reason; they bring a ton of signal. 

But I also have anons, developers, and generally anyone I feel like talking to.

QW and Corn have been hardcore Nostr users for a long time, and I like these dudes. So I invited them on the show. 

I hope you will find the conversation valuable 🤙 
 Nostr meme legends @QW and @corndalorian are both joining me on @Titcoin tomorrow. 

So, in their honor, here is a blank meme template.

You know what to do… https://i.nostr.build/jY0KNcyBkBwtR9KE.jpg  
 @CARLA is going to like this one 😂 
 I usually don’t live stream my @Titcoin episodes, but i suppose we could do a Nostr-only live stream for this one… 
 💀😂
