Yeah, I'm talking about the man - Not his politics. His track record - Not his promises.


If only I could say I'm remotely surprised.
Trump learning about bitcoin was always going to end up with him somehow trying to grift people with some half baked scheme.

Politics aside, he's always going to be a con man.

First Australia and now the US... the idea of taxing UNREALIZED gains seems almost laughably stupid and short sighted. If you penalize people for investing by making it functionally punative to do so, what exactly do you expect will happen when your financial system is pretty much built on investments?

Does anyone actually think this through?


Okay. Thats factually untrue but no worries. Believe what you wish.

Want to understand how inflation impacts your purchasing power?

Let's look at The New Yorker, which publishes the price of each copy right on the front of the magazine.

1925: 15 cents
2024: $8.99

What the heck happened to make The New Yorker so much more expensive?
https://m.primal.net/KEpj.jpg
https://m.primal.net/KEpk.jpg

It's important to understand that technology is naturally DEFLATIONARY.

Everything should be getting cheaper over time, including The New Yorker.

Think about it: printing, writing, & editing technology has improved tremendously since 1925.

So, why is the magazine more expensive now?

From 1925 to 1971, The New Yorker increased in price from 15 cents to 50 cents, an increase of 233.33%.

That's pretty dramatic, but not THAT bad...

But from 1971 to 2024, price increased from 50 cents to $8.99, an increase of 1698%.

So, WTF happened in 1971?

In 1971, Richard Nixon "temporarily" suspended the convertibility of dollars to gold, ending the Gold Standard.

This meant that the Federal Reserve could now print dollars out of thin air without restriction.

Increasing the money supply by creating new money out of thin air is literally "inflation."

"Prices rising" is the result of inflation.

When more monetary units are created, the purchasing power of the monetary units that already exist decreases.

When the government/central bank prints money out of thin air, they are STEALING your purchasing power.

Here's The New Yorker over a few decades:

1971: $0.50
1980: $1.00
1990: $1.75
2000: $3.00

The magazine did not become more valuable, our MONEY became LESS valuable.
https://m.primal.net/KEpn.webp
https://m.primal.net/KEpo.webp
https://m.primal.net/KEpr.webp
https://m.primal.net/KEps.webp

By looking at this example of The New Yorker, which cost 15 cents in 1925 and costs $8.99 today, we see that the U.S. dollar has lost approximately 98.33% of its purchasing power in less than 100 years.

This is what happens when you print money out of thin air...

When money is controlled by the State, you are powerless to stop the destruction of your purchasing power.

Technology should be making everything LESS expensive over time, but even something as simple as a magazine gets more and more expensive over time.
https://m.primal.net/KEpx.png

So, what can you do to protect yourself from the government/central bank printing money out of thin air and destroying your purchasing power?

There is a lot of censorship going on in the UK right now. Social Media companies are being forced to delete posts, deplatform accounts which are deemed to be spreading "misinformation" and "hate speech".

Of course the UK government is the self appointed Ministry of Truth.

If you are an Englishman, please advise your fellow citizens to join Nostr.
We should be using this platform to return people their voices, other than shitposting/cringeposting and being nerds.

Personally, I am in of the opinion that western governments have become too big and wield way too much influence for the level of competence they display. We need to get it through people's head that Bitcoin is how you defund these parasites with dictatorial aspirations.

I feel pretty much the same way.

While I don't contribute directly to the bitcoin space, I mostly am still in study/assimilate/understand/invest mode, I find that the level of concentraion on BTC over my Fiat job is significant.

I suppose that there could be actors on here that are trying to saturate the network with that filth.

Hopefully the big brains on here can find ways to filter it out.

GM #nostr!

Looking to continue orange pilling friends and family and I need your help!

I was trying to whiteboard the "layers" of the #bitcoin network and struggled with #LND and now #ECASH.

Does anyone have any visuals that explain how these layers interface with the base layer?


I think the important distinction of #nostr vs other "legacy" social media is that since we don't leverage an algo based on engagement - Negative or Positive, the content is judged by the merits of its content.

What I mean is, the propagation of hate isn't supercharged here.
Does hate-filled nonsense still exist? Sure but I think its reach is limited to purely those who wish to see it, not everyone else.


Hmmmphh... your logic is sound.

Get over here and we'll figure this out


Got it.

Enjoy screaming into the void 😉


You're the one making the claim.
The burden of proof is on you, friend.

By merely asking, your response was to claim that I'm some left-wing nutjob instead of actually providing evidence, claiming that I wouldn't accept any evidence.

I think thats probably more projection than anything else.

Real shame.


Heh, thats interesting.

So merely asking for evidence is enough to deter you.  If your claims are true, how any of us feel about it would be irrelevant.

You don't know me. You couldn't possibly know what my opinions are.

I guess its just easier to "other" someone than to acutally back up what you're claiming.

within 30 seconds the ground started to shift and we experienced a 6.4 mag.

It was impressive how accurate the alert was.

Black garders always work on me.


Its all I think about.


Will do. I've always enjoyed your podcast appearances. Your cadence is so soothing.


Let's be clear here.

Nostr is an unfinished beta of multiple technologies being tested simultaneously in realtime. It's buggy. Things break often. You'll probably lose some money, or time, or both to it. I know I have 😂

But I love the passion, the attitude and the vision for the future I see here. It's worth putting up with the bugs to be around such great people, so I keep coming back.

One of the things makes #Bitcoin unique.

“We’re about to shake up the crypto world with something HUGE,” Donald Trump Jr. posted earlier today

We already shook things up. Its called #bitcoin.

Morning!


Go out of your way to give people positive feedback.

When someone makes you laugh or learn, tell them.

It's easy to assume they know, but they really might not.

One of my problems with my real-world friends and semi-online friends is that I'm viewed as cold and distant. Kind of on the spectrum, one might say.

I incorrectly assume that since I like their stuff, they must know I like their stuff, which isn't always the case. Instead they're more like, "wtf is Lyn thinking?" In other words, I'm semi-retarded at personal interactions. I'd like more people to know how much I like what they do.

Online or offline, whenever it's comfortable, tell people they're doing good work. Say hi. Tell them thanks. Give gratitude.

Nostr does this better than Twitter, from my experience. Keep it up, lads and lasses.

I just mostly want to hold onto most of it and see where this unstoppable train is headed.


Yes.


Actually I replied to the wrong comment lol. I think we agree that hodling is the move.


Why? Using the paper money to store the harder money for when its needed in the future?

I don't see anything wrong with that.

I've spent sats to buy a few btc related things but the vast majority is stored for long term savings.

Isn't that really the best use case for now?


The old system is decrepit and broken. It's slapped together with multiple systems that don't interface well together.

And now with everything on the support side outsourced and subcontracted out...

Its a total mess, ripe for disruption.

#Bitcoin is that disruption.


I personally think that all voices are welcomed here. I don't believe in following one line of thinking but rather a kaleidoscope of varying opinions.

It keeps me and my opinions balanced and allows me to hear differing points of view.

So. I appreciate your addition here.

I've found a pretty good balance of people. I like to keep a few on either extremes to keep me well informed. As for the bitcoin-centric-ness of the app... I mean.. that might be like this for a while.


Yeah, I know. I've made my peace with it. Its cool to see more receptive parents though! 😉


Damn, I wish my parents were so supportive lol. I can't talk to my father about bitcoin without him calling it a scam.


You gotta wonder at what price #BTC needs to get to before we're truly through the overton window. 100k? 500k? 1M?!

Bitcoin kills your ego. That's a feature. It's a beautiful thing.

In order to be right, you must risk being wrong.

In order to have it all, you must be able to let go of everything.

In order to succeed, you must fail. Over and over again.

Watching someone pass away slowly is horrendous… it shows how powerless we are against nature and time. They are undefeated.

Your health is worth more than all the #Bitcoin and Gold in the world. Treasure it because it doesn’t last forever. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you because one day you won’t be around to tell them.

Love your family. Love your friends. Love you life. Thank God for everyday that you wake up healthy and have your mobility.


GN, freedom doesn’t mean that everyone is going to agree on social issues or that people will only “be nice” to you. Thinking that either is relevant to the idea of liberty is to misunderstand the fundamental reason it’s so important and what it actually means.

Freedom is important because we will *never* all agree on social issues. They explicitly don’t scale, which is exactly why freedom is necessary.

For what it's worth. I hope you're wrong. But even then that gives them access to 1 million btc?


Alot of wild assumptions. Have you seen anything that corroborates that?

Most likely, he used a pseudo-name and was cautious about online footprint, which we can assume since he was into cryptography..

Not to mention we are also concluding that that satoshi lived in the western world.

We will find out one way or another I suppose. I choose to believe he's watching things unfold from a distance.

If his BTC ever moves, we can continue to speculate.


Haha. Always an XKCD for any occasion.


Interesting. Wouldn't that suggest that they either ...

know who he was and were able to coerce his keys out of him

OR

they we're able to compromise his keys, which would undermine the entire point of Bitcoin's security?

Genuinely curious.


Yes. Exactly this.

For those who don’t want to do the math, that’s a 97.5% loss for the owners.

This was done at auction, extended 3 times, and with the sellers having to lower the reserve price just so the sale would go through…

People have no idea how much this could be affecting the banking sector, but has been allowed to go unadjusted on balance sheets. There are banks with *enormous* exposure to commercial real estate, and so much of it looks like this.

I don’t know the timeline because it depends on tons of govt and fed “guarantees” and reporting rules which have been altered to help cover this (and a lot of other problems) up, but this will blow up at some point.

What even is bitcoin, y'know?


OOO! dont mind if I do. Thanks man!


On Bitcoin Magazine’s YouTube channel, Saylor’s keynote has more views than Trump’s.

387k vs 267k

I don’t really have a point, other than it’s mildly surprising. I think more people probably saw the Trump speech because the live-watching numbers were huge, but it seems that the interest in people later watching the Trump speech isn’t too high.


They're really running the tyrant playbook step by step aren't they...


He was used to make an example. His sentence was completely disproportinate to his alleged crimes. Its really not that complicated.


The colors in these pictures are gorgeous! So vibrant!


Right there with you...

https://m.primal.net/JjWD.gif


Thank you for the well articulated counterpoint. I appreciate it.


First impressions are hard to change.

The first time a normie runs into Bitcoin, other than in passing, it is usually presented negatively.

That becomes their psychological anchor point for their beliefs about it.

They don't have the time or energy to dig deeper, so they use a heuristic or a shortcut, and that short cut is.... Bitcoin bad

It takes A LOT of evidence or trust to shift them from that anchor position.

I'm only in Bitcoin because my autist of a brother told me to research and buy it.

He researches things to death and is infrequently wrong, so I trusted his opinion and lump-summed in until I could get myself down the rabbit hole.

Funny enough, I'm further down than he is now.

But most people don't have this level of faith in another human being's opinion and so to them.... Bitcoin bad.

Take heart... It's not you.... Your just fighting thousands of years of evolution.


I've also noticed a sharp uptick in phishing emails and texts...


Wow ! My email is actively phished today! I never ever touched FTX or other 💩

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 tried this earlier. It just works!


#Bitcoin will never only be made in America.

   Bitcoin is an open source technology, and those who’ve adopted it for those reasons aren’t going to hand it over to a corrupt centralized entity thus creating a single point of failure.

   Fight this with everything you have plebs. Do not trust those responsible for the creation of central banking and the manipulation of interest rates. Bitcoin is an amazing technology but we must not get comfortable or complacent with the the thought of “We won.”.

   Much like freedom requires a constant fight, Bitcoin will require a constant battle to remain decentralized.

   Run a node, own your keys, own your hash power.

Bitcoin = Freedom.

🚨PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨

Heather Morgan, AKA 'Razzlekhan' is a self proclaimed social engineer who pleaded guilty to laundering funds her husband hacked from Bitfinex (120,000 BTC) back in 2016.

I crossed paths with her in Nashville this week. After asking around I discovered she has been spotted at multiple Bitcoin events over the past year.

It's extremely suspicious that she is still walking free and hasn't been sentenced for her crimes.

I recommend that all Bitcoin event organizers treat her as a threat actor and DENY ENTRY.

Those of you who have paid close attention to Trump's speech at Bitcoin 2024 may have noticed that the former President – accidentally or intentionally – appears to have given away a lot more on his plans for the future of Bitcoin than meets the eye.

Despite his assurances to protect open source development and self-custody in the US, Trump is first and foremost a national security president, highlighted by his remarks on terrorism and immigration. A loosening of AML/CFT laws, which currently see several open-source developers under indictment, seems unlikely (though a democrat law enforcement officer in the White House may arguably not do us any better).

During Trump's past presidency, the US passed the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which increased penalties for AML/CFT offenses and established beneficial ownership requirements for LLCs to FinCEN.

While Trump vetoed the NDAA, it appears that he did not do so due to the AMLA2020, but rather because the NDAA kept Trump from his crusade to repeal Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act, which protects Internet Service Providers from liability for information hosted and transmitted.

According to Trump, Section 230 is a "national security risk" which "will make our intelligence virtually impossible to conduct".

If you had hoped that a Trump presidency would reduce the risks of developers being held liable for "illicit activity", you may do best in thinking again – "Broadcasting" 'illicit transactions' is precisely what Samourai Wallet currently stands accused of, which would hardly be arguable under the striking of Section 230.

Between incoherent ramblings on god, AI, and electric cars, Trump essentially used his 50-minute speaking slot to introduce The Bitcoin Dollar between the lines: a CBDC alternative to expand US hegemony beyond the petrodollar system directly into consumer wallets across the planet.

Don't forget that the vast space between your ears is intelligence's field of play. For Trump, Bitcoin is merely a tool to "extend the dominance of the US Dollar to new frontiers all around the world", and if his speech showed us anything, its that you are nothing more than another pawn at the end of the identity politics chessboard, where a banner hangs that reads: Congratulations, you’ve been played.

Hot take: What if he has a prostetic over the wounded ear?

This is a man that has been rocking that hair for the last 3 decades. Couldn't he have some FX prostetic to cover the fucked up ear?


Lol, the more you look at it, the more clownish he looks. He has no idea what hes talking about. We're so early.


Yeah, I much prefer positive feedback loop mechanisms to the current status quo of engagement-rage-bait shit that other systems use.


Everyone has a chance!

I think I the rule of thumb is to have at least 2 weeks of food and water.

I don't personally know a single person that has that stockpiled.


Alright, so their plan would be to try and hoard as much of this perfect asset as they can, spending billions. Use it as a reserve for the dollar in order manipulate the price down?

Am I doing the calculus right?

By that point, what would they gain by forcing the price down?

If anything, we would want a stable btc price at that point so we could use it as the medium of exchange we all hope that it is.

Right?


Although some might...


why would a country want a large supply of any hard asset?


yep. it will be a true indicator of their intentions.


Same.


This is over 20 years, right? it could be possible if they convince enough holders to sell.

🚨 BREAKING - SWAN

ANNOUNCEMENT - Swan is unlikely to continue with our Managed Mining business in the near term. Without the expectation of significant near-term revenue from our Managed Mining unit, we are pulling our plans to IPO in the near future.

Accordingly, Swan is pulling back from our accelerated spending plan for our core financial services business. Unfortunately, this includes staff cuts across many functions.

The Swans we've had to let go in our staff reduction this week are some of the best Bitcoiners on Earth, and I would gladly work with each and every one of them in the future. I will be doing my best to help them find new roles in Bitcoin, and I hope that if you have the opportunity to help similarly, you'll jump at the chance.

This is an incredible moment in time for Bitcoin, with real institutional adoption, an increasingly favorable regulatory and political environment, and the ranks of Bitcoiners swelling in number. At Swan we remain ready to serve you with an array of Bitcoin financial services and free Bitcoin education.

See you on the battlefield. #TeamBitcoin https://i.nostr.build/fwp9ShmvESUL8RK9.jpg

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it.

Newb question, I know.


Teach your friends and family about this.

If the scam wasn’t totally stupid and wasn’t the obvious “send me 1 BTC and I’ll send you 2” nonsense, this would be really hard to spot.

Imagine this was subtle and well thought out. Imagine it was just a recommendation for a wallet and it was backed up by some bot armies that looked semi legit on social? What if it had a really solid website and a bunch of “endorsements” from trusted faces in #Bitcoin?

How many would casually check it out? I mean I’ve randomly installed plenty of tools off a couple of recommendations. What happens if that app is very serious malware? What if it’s *quiet* malware that plants itself and takes its time before launching an attack?

This is becoming more and more real by the day. This is going to upgrade from stupid cheap scams, to sophisticated attacks. The best thing you can do is show this to people so they know it’s out there. nostr:note19pnk73x3aevatt0cfctpm92jqe2ga0l8qr5nv0auf2dywg06qa8qjv4u0w

Fair enough. Back to #bitcoin and #nostr discussions. Politics is so taxing.


I'm all for healthy debate (thats kind of the point) but this polalrization of left == commie and right == nazi just gets us absolutely nowhere. Ugh. Here's Tom with the weather....


Sometimes I wonder if Centrism is a dying position. Are we really unable to see the subtle nuance of complex discussions anymore?

I'm just saying, at first you say "leftist" and now you're conflating it with "communist". Maybe dial back the over-simplication and give it some measured, considered thought.


broad brush... and all that.


Well said. The longer we take this "all-or-nothing" approach to civil discourse (or lack thereof)... The worse things will get.

Adopting Bitcoin definitely changes people for the better. It reduces action from fear & extends people's time horizons.

It's hard to extrapolate out these effects among a small % of the population out into the masses as hyperbitcoinisation accelerates though.

There will still be a select group that has more power & wealth than others. I like to think that these individuals will operate with more morality than the current elite. That the incentives among these individuals will be towards voluntarism over slavery & the exploitation of the weak.

Among the elite, a copycat strategy becomes the most advantageous strategy. Wealth can't be accumulated long term via theft & pillaging. It can only be accumulated by producing more value to more people via voluntary exchange.

People will probably still sell their bodies and the bodies of their children but I think you'll also see a shift in culture around what's unacceptable behaviour.

I guess we'll have to wait & see. 🧡


Well said. I'm just going to live my life, stack sats, DCA and forget about it. the rest will take care of itself. it's inevitable at this point.

Yeah but its fucking SWEET ducktape tho....


Just a fun anecdote to further cement why we need a shakeup of the financial system...

I'm trying to rollover my 401k into a #Swan IRA.
In order to do this, instead of just instantly transmitting the funds over a state-of-the-art blockchain system like #BTC we instead have to ...

1. Get Fidelity to PRINT out a cheque and MAIL it to me
2. Receive the cheque and then RESEND IT to Swan.

All in all it will take close to a week of transit time...

We are still early...


That's my impression as well. Although both parties seem to recognize that this is an issue with some voters, I expect very little to come from it, irrespective of who ends up winning.


Is this happening for sure? In Riga? I would love to attend.

GM #nostr - Bitcoin is on sale today. #michaelmalice is on #whatbitcoindid. The week is off to a good start!


Actually, 1 line of code change isn't all it would take.

It would actually need to be ADOPTED by the network.
Meaning, tens of thousands of individuals would have to review, discuss, consider and then adopt the code change.

So, no... it wouldn't be that simple.
BUT, ofcourse you knew that already but decided to write an intentionally reductive statement.

Have a good weekend.


Its an interesting assessment. I also choose to remain positive and hopeful for the future. We are seeing this grand experiment finally starting to latch on in various areas of our society.

I for one look forward to watching this play out!


Some people have grown cynical with democracy (and various types of representative government broadly, e.g. including constitutional democratic republics that enshrine certain rights to protect liberty against the masses), viewing this method as promoting short-term leadership with bad incentives.

I have a different take.

Prior to the printing press and then the telegraph and radio, running a democratic society over long distances wasn’t even feasible. The concept of having people democratically participate in their government relies on people being relatively connected information-wise so that they can use their access to information to know what’s happening and to then select between different options, which you couldn’t do across the entirety of a country before people were literate and election materials or other publications could be mass produced. In the pre-press age of handwritten books, making written documents was expensive, and so literacy was a niche skill.

So, that era was ruled by kings and queens, council oligopolies, and so forth. Representative government, to the extent that it existed, only applied to small city states where people could literally gather in a town square, or to “elites” in a capital. There was literally no way to run an election over very broad distances on a regular basis. The printing press helped change that, and then the telegraph, radio, and other tech further reinforced it.

But ironically, as I discuss in Broken Money, those technologies also started to break our money. The printing press and telegraph allowed the transaction layer (the movement of IOUs between individuals and entities) to grow exponentially more efficient both domestically and globally, while our settlement layer (gold) remained basically unchanged. This broadening gap between fast transactions and slow settlements was increasingly bridged with centralization and credit, and the gap eventually became so wide that every nation dropped the settlement layer of gold almost entirely, except as a reserve asset.

So the same technologies that enabled widespread representative government also enabled the proliferation of softer money. Prior to these technologies, broad democracy wasn’t possible. And after these technologies, sound money was too slow to keep up. Oof.

But over a long enough timeframe, our technology became good enough that we finally figured out how to do fast settlements as well. Bitcoin. People can send value to each other quickly over long distances, in ways that no central entity can prevent or reverse, and with a unit that no central entity can debase. The first sound money of the Information Age.

If Bitcoin is successful over the coming decades and becomes a much larger and less volatile money, than it is now, fully entrenched in society, then that would be the first era where technology is at such a state where broad democracy and fast sound money can coexist. Or put more universally, it will be the first era where information spreads quickly without breaking the money, and thus both fast information and good money could coexist.

I, for one, would be curious to see how that develops.

Putting this out into the #nostr universe. While working on a btc4dummies presentation, I was thinking...

Interesting thought experiment.

I mean, the best way to be able to properly debate someone whose ideas you disagree with would be to construct their argument yourself.

Then, you can efficiently reverse engineer it having fully thought it through.


If you’re intellectually honest you should be able to steelman a position even if you disagree with it.

What are the best points you could put forward in support of a position you ultimately disagree with?
