 @MaxDeMarco is an incredibly talented creator, a hardcore Bitcoiner, and an all-around awesome guy. If I had to sum up his videos with one phrase, it would be “proof of work.”

If you’re not following him I highly recommend you do so.

 This is amazing…

From Runway:
“Act-One allows you to faithfully capture the essence of an actor's performance and transpose it to your generation. Where traditional pipelines for facial animation involve complex, multi-step workflows, Act-One works with a single driving video that can be shot on something as simple as a cell phone… Without the need for motion-capture or character rigging, Act-One is able to translate the performance from a single input video across countless different character designs and in many different styles.” #AI

 “There is no putting the genie back in the bottle. And now every government in the world gets to reform itself in light of that knowledge. This is why we're seeing CBDCs… CBDCs are a direct response to #Bitcoin “ - @nsmolenski on @Titcoin

 Here’s the tl;dr on why #Bitcoin is anarchy. 

Anarchy means “without chief/ruler”, via medieval Latin from Greek anarkhia, from anarkhos, from an- ‘without’ + arkhos ‘chief, ruler’.

Bitcoin is a set of rules, but Bitcoin has no ruler. 

Bitcoin is anarchy. https://i.nostr.build/q8bp3rv2cSNeNCEB.jpg  nostr:note1qe4dp8zhe0rd7axapf0tnzv2gxak5u64k399k97fvm92eqngmlqsnnsd60 
 People hear “anarchy” and they think of Mad Max. 

I hear anarchy and I think of @Max Hillebrand 
 tl;dr = too long, didn’t read

 It’s pretty simple:

If you are against #Bitcoin, you are against individual freedom and non-violent cooperation. 

If you are against individual freedom and non-violent cooperation, you are against the people. 

If you are against the people, you are the enemy of the people. 
 Where were you when the Bull began his run? #bitcoin

 The people who print money out of thin air don’t like #bitcoin because they hate you and want you to be poor. 

Anyway, good morning. 
 There is no red. 
There is no blue. 
There is the State.

 Don’t pay your taxes and you’ll quickly find out if the Stare exists. 
 The European mind cannot comprehend this… https://v.nostr.build/U4KMtQ49cPV763Nr.mp4  
 We Americans feel the same when we look at gunless europeans 🤝 
 79% of people are idiots, regardless of the country they live in. 
 Have you seen the European obsession with soccer (“football”) players?

(I don’t understand either obsession, just to be clear) 
 Hand Egg is a much more appropriate name for our sport lol 
 Foot pics wiggling your toes in the water or it didn’t happen. 
 1. How convenient…

2. How did you know the water was cold if you didn’t wriggle your foot piggies in it?

3. Checkmate.

 BRÆKING: IN RESPONSE TO DONALD TRUMP WORKING AT MCDONALDS, KAMALA HARRIS ANNOUNCES ETHNICALLY AMBIGUOUS SZECHUAN SAUCE PROMOTION, PROCLAIMS SHE IDENTIFIES AS CHINESE SO IT’S OKAY. https://i.nostr.build/oEd1Xn9LOEPFyKKO.jpg  
 FOLLOW @Titcoin IF YOU LIKE MCDONALDS AND FOLLOW @Titcoin IF YOU DONT LIKE MCDONALDS 
 When #Bitcoin starts ripping and your friends hit you up asking “should I buy now or do you think it’ll go lower?” 

FOLLOW @Titcoin IF YOU’VE TRIED AND FAILED TO ORANGE PILL YOUR FRIENDS https://v.nostr.build/EFYbFU9PBVMZ3SsV.mp4  
 Just tell them to DCA 
 Tell them it’s their money and to grow some balls and do whatever the fuck they want because you’re not their babysitter. 
 When the #Bitcoin bull market is taking longer than expected. https://i.nostr.build/Ezd5JksAcrpoBuOD.jpg  
 I hear Kamala is going to do an ethnically ambiguous Szechuan Sauce promotion soon. 
 There is something freeing about doing monotonous but predictable manual labor free of decision making when one is accustomed to making decisions all day every day. 
 Don’t shitcoin, kids. It’s bad for you. https://i.nostr.build/tqyyxZii44tYRZrx.jpg

 I recently turned on ads on my YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@walkeramerica), not because I plan on making any significant fiat from it, but because I think YouTube is kind of dogshit, and I want to incentivize people to watch my @Titcoin episodes on @Highlighter (built by @PABLOF7z )

So, if you hate YouTube and hate ads, you can watch @Titcoin episodes at https://highlighter.com/walker with ZERO ads or view tracking.

And if you find the episodes valuable, consider giving value back. ⚡️ #v4v #grownostr 
 I did not say there was anything wrong with it. I would simply prefer to receive v4v bitcoin while encouraging people to use Nostr.

 God damn, I love seeing the stars in Bumblefuck, Nowhere.

 If alcohol is so bad for you, then why did Jesus turn water into wine? 

If it’s good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for me.

Being sober is essentially blasphemy. 
 So you’re calling Jesus Christ a liar? 
 Alcohol doesn’t get you high. 
 Have you ever had alcohol..? 
 Name a better beer… I’ll wait. https://i.nostr.build/GJxWangwBeAC7Gz2.jpg
