 Just finishing up our summer stay in Vancouver. Thanks for all the zaps, I got the chance to spend them all due to the great merchant adoption in this city.

Props to the CoinOS team for helping make that happen. 
 Child of the 70s I see. 
 Who will build the roads?

Honestly why do we care? What if no one build any roads and then sudde... 
 We shouldn’t care.

We should care who builds the hyperloops and matter transport beams. Assuming people value their most scarce asset - time. 
 Checking out Boracay, the Bitcoin island. Breakfast paid by sats that were zapped my way! Thank you Nostr. https://image.nostr.build/af19212d6aa537c53139171ee6a34f9ba17774382bc77b8acb1ef36bc719a242.jpg  
 We were lucky in that we took direct flights from HK and our friends arranged pickup from airport including the ferry ride. Decent mix of options from backpackers to high road lux resorts, will be fam friendly or not depending on where you stay. 
 Two medium orders plus coffee. 
 
The scarcity of gold is about to change. #Bitcoin.

 Time zones are useful as it tells us where the sun is relative to my sundial. 

But unfortunately is no standard time, it’s stretchy, there’s only a standard speed. Einstein says so.

 The irony is that baby Jesus crucified is a better metaphor IMO for his teachings (I’m not a Christian but respectfully observing). Jesus said to be like the little ones, which I think was about holding the values of innocence, purity, excitement and being wide eyed, essentially having what the Buddhists call “beginners mind” for the newness and beauty in every day.

 A big driver comes from the large spreads seen in crypto markets. They are now liquid enough to hold hundreds of million for a market neutral trading firm and they can get 5-15% annually on spreads instead of say 2% in traditional markets. 

We’ll see these spreads close as more Wall St money enters.
