With the Bitcoin price approaching new all time highs, I've started to reflect on Bitcoin it's impact on my life.

At this point, I think it's safe to say I live a bitcoin integrated life. Bitcoin is my money, Bitcoin is my community, Bitcoin heats my home, preserves my food and medicine, grows my plants. Bitcoin comes from the sun that shines on my homestead. I use Bitcoin to buy the highest quality local food for my family at Bitcoin meetups. I sell the highest quality food and medicine I'm capable of producing for Bitcoin to bitcoiners. I share my intellectual capital with Bitcoiners and host them at my homestead.

What a life integrated with Bitcoin has provided is a true form savings, stronger community, healthier and more profitable lifestyle and a more aligned sense of purpose.

I am thankful for Bitcoin and Bitcoiners!

We’ve all been through a lot this past year. As we approach new highs, wishing you and your families nothing but health, happiness, and freedom.


A good day.

I was at a community meeting tonight in my town to discuss conservation of our local natural resources.

Some solutions offered and seemingly well-received included:

- more government control
- wealth redistribution
- land redistribution
- and depopulation

So. That's where we are now.

I was the only one speaking about resource regeneration, wildlife habitat development, and restoration of agricultural infrastructure to empower land stewards with economic incentive.

One other participant offered the creation of "local money." Which I loved and goes right along with my idea for a local farmers #fedimint.

Why are humans so predictable? Can we not break this pattern?


The best advice I ever got (and foolishly didn't heed) when I started farming was, "Slow down."

It is incredibly tempting to rush into doing all the things you've always dreamed of doing: gardens, orchards, chickens, hogs, etc.

And, if you do rush in, you very quickly find yourself overrun with chores and expenses.

My advice is to start with an enterprise that is likely to be profitable for you. (Unless you're awash in money already. Then, go wild!) Start building manageable enterprises that pencil out with more than enough breathing room to allow for the unexpected. Things always break. Storms always roll through. Cash is king. Keep more than you think you'll need on-hand at all times.

Manage your cash, time, and energy like precious resources. Go slowly in the right direction and you can build the life you've always wanted. But you're dealing in complex systems humans can't predict or control. So proceed with joy, hope, enthusiasm, and caution.

Good luck! Keep us updated on your projects.


And on that note, chick season is coming soon. The first chick delivery arrives at my local Tractor Supply this Friday. Become ungovernable. And you can start by growing your own food.

"Ford Would Replace Gold With Energy Currency and Stop Wars"

New York Tribune - December 4th, 1921
https://i.nostr.build/6Q2R.jpg

https://i.nostr.build/BMGe.jpg


I'm Entropy, been hanging out here since last August. Decided to start fresh and ditch the name/pfp I used when I was on BT.

I write fiction as a hobby. Bitcoin saved my marriage by rewiring my brain into longer time horizons and showing up for myself and my relationships.

I'm left of the bell curve about technology, and am generally into prepping and gun culture although you would not at all assume that if you met me on the street.

I think there's enough people fighting for a better world that I no longer despair about the future.


I was operating from FEAR.

Fear of missing out.
Fear of the government.
Fear of wasting sats.
Fear of failing as a father.
Fear of leading.

I have strong hands that were forged in the fires of financial tectonics.

I’ve been slumbering, telling myself I’ve been practicing stoicism & delayed gratification, conserving energy.

The time for sitting on my hands is coming to an end, we are entering the 5th epoch of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin will awaken giants, but who among us will actually build a citadel?

Are you ready to build your citadel?

Building your citadel is about being a leader, a provider, a positive force for your friends, family & community.

Holding and sitting on your hands is not building the skills required to build a citadel and operate it to help the maximum amount of people around you.

I’m ready to level up, I’m preparing my body and mind.

100 Pushups a day to $100K was a great simple nudge to show me I had work to do.

Now I’m setting goals and gaining momentum.

I’m not sure where my ceiling is but I’m excited to find out. https://image.nostr.build/30c60f6519751ef3d6aaa6e0c9923f3f83941a6938e8c595147e8d9e1c0cf55a.jpg

Dear nostr bro’s you can hit me up about your feelings.

Hodling bitcoin is fucking hard. Overcoming childhood trauma is fucking hard. Being responsible for a family is fucking hard. Living under the surveillance state is fucking hard. Getting to the gym everyday is fucking hard. Eating right is fucking hard. Knowing who to listen to is fucking hard. Getting ahead in your career is fucking hard. Sticking to your principles is fucking hard. Making friends in adulthood is fucking hard. Dealing with the death of parents is fucking hard. Trying to claw your way out of nihilism is fucking hard. Life is fucking hard.

Sometimes you just need a bro to listen. nostr:note1tcyesknnwndgc4p493kzclen5yh7yhajutdpxrft3rhw2dtd2rvs20hxj5

Modifying this solid wood stained glass to fit as the front door for the tiny house.
https://i.nostr.build/DlBj.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/57eK.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/7R7B.jpg
The door opening in the tiny house is a unique size so the choices were build a custom door or find one that can be modified. My dad ended up finding this cool stained glass door at a garage sale. It's pretty beat up and a little thin for an exterior door but I figured I could make it work. I was able to cut it down to size and now I'm working on beefing it up with what I'm calling an oak exoskeleton. I'm basically going to bolt an oak frame into the existing door to make it thicker and more rigid as well as seal up the stained glass window better too. Got the skeleton cut and fitted. Next is adding the bolts, finishing work with the router, sand/stain, installing the handle/deadbolt.

We came up with a realization today: taxing food is a tax on living things. Farming, distribution, and retail is human labor, all the way through, and a "product" is simply a word to disassociate us from the "liveness" of what was once a seed, plant, or animal.

So we don't sell products anymore. You get your veggies, meat or eggs for free. And you just pay a service fee for tending the land, remediating the soil, and caring for the animals.

Yes! That's it. It seems that's what everyone uses. I see it everywhere. Thank you.


When you put in the work of self-healing and wake up to your own value and self-worth, choosing to respect yourself and take advantage of this one life we are given, there is not time or room for disrespect from those who have not done that same process for themselves.

You are worthy of great things! 🧡


Ok, Everybody wants Amethyst Purple now. But hold your horses.

I want to first try a release-based donation model that goes straight to the devs/designers/translators who helped in that specific release. It's similar to what we do today in my release notes where your zap splits go straight to the devs.

The goal of the model is to align the right incentives with the finances: we only get paid when we have something new. If we don't ship, nobody gets anything. That will keep the wheels turning and avoid the usual product stagnation.

On top of that, I don't want to make Amethyst a company. At least not yet. Companies are too centralized and complicated for my current taste. I want to see if we can stay as a humble open-source project while collecting the same amounts a company would but through your direct payments/donations to what would have otherwise been employees.

Basically, an extreme version of value 4 value.

We will see if the idea works. It's still early and we already collect a good amount per month (~$1700/mo combined). So, it should be possible. Fingers crossed.


Kudos.

Some great info for GMRS radio.

GMRS, which stands for General Mobile Radio Service, is a type of two-way radio communication service primarily used for short-distance communications. It's a popular choice for families and small groups who want to stay in touch while camping, hiking, or participating in outdoor activities.

Here are the basics of GMRS radio:

1. Licensing:
   - In the United States, you are required to obtain a GMRS license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use GMRS radios. The license covers your entire family or group, allowing them to operate GMRS radios under a single license. The cost of the license may vary, and it typically lasts for ten years.

2. Frequency Range:
   - GMRS operates in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) radio spectrum. It uses frequencies between 462 and 467 MHz. These frequencies provide relatively good range and penetration in urban and outdoor environments.

3. Number of Channels:
   - GMRS radios offer 22 channels for communication. These channels are divided into two categories: the GMRS/FRS (Family Radio Service) shared channels and the GMRS-only channels.

   - GMRS/FRS shared channels: Channels 1-7 are shared with FRS radios, which do not require a license. GMRS radios can operate at higher power levels on these channels when compared to FRS radios.

   - GMRS-only channels: Channels 15-22 are exclusively for GMRS use. These channels allow for higher power levels and are often used for more reliable long-distance communication.

4. Power Levels:
   - GMRS radios are allowed to transmit at higher power levels than FRS radios, which gives them a longer communication range. The maximum power output for GMRS radios is typically around 5 watts.

5. Privacy Codes:
   - Many GMRS radios offer privacy codes, also known as sub-channels or CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) tones. These codes allow you to filter out unwanted conversations on the same channel by using a specific tone or code. Keep in mind that privacy codes do not provide absolute privacy; determined users can still hear your conversations.

6. Range:
   - The effective range of GMRS radios can vary significantly depending on factors like terrain, obstructions, and the power output of the radios. In ideal conditions, GMRS radios can provide communication ranges of several miles.

7. Accessories:
   - GMRS radios often come with various accessories, such as headsets, earpieces, and external microphones, to make communication more convenient and discreet.

8. Emergency Channels:
   - Some GMRS radios also include dedicated emergency channels, such as channel 9, which can be used to communicate with emergency services or other GMRS users during urgent situations.

To use GMRS radios within the legal requirements, it's essential to obtain the necessary GMRS license from the FCC and follow the regulations and guidelines specified for GMRS operation. Family members can share the same license, allowing them to communicate with each other on the GMRS channels.

TODAY'S EPIPHANY: The #Bitcoin ledger is a scoreboard for the world. Stacking sats is like scoring points that no one can take away from you.

Do work? Stack it.
Make something cool? Stack it.
Sell value? Stack it.

I'm not particularly young, but I've never been economically active in a world where hard money was an option. I never cared about filing a bank account with FIAT because I knew it would drain out again via inflation, bills, taxes, finance fees, interest, etc.

#Bitcoin changed how I felt about money to the point that it changed how I feel about work. The simple idea that I can do valuable work, be fairly compensated, and then store that value I created in a form that can't be eroded away by someone else is a paradigm-shift for me.

I used to ALWAYS prefer work where I could—at the end of the day—see the fruits of my labor: cutting firewood, filling my freezer, building a house, planting a garden, etc. And now ALL my work can provide that level of satisfaction if it is converted out of FIAT and put on the scoreboard.

Stack on.

Well said. Its also a great reminder why freedom movements need not just soldiers on the front lines (in this case, coders), but also artists to record, interpret, and amplify the dreams and sacrifices being made for a greater common goal.

What's maybe unique about #nostr is that the front line itself is also the mechanism by which artists and expression can reinforce momentum. It creates a beautiful positive-feedback loop. Progress creates more expression which creates motivation which creates progress.... And up we go.

As this is decentralized, collaborative, and iterative, it mirrors the natural expression of a natural complex system that sustains itself and produces more than the sum of its isolated-and-focused parts. "Synergy" as Buckminster Fuller said.

Therefore, natural history, evolution, and the natural world are behind us.

I don't know.  I yet to see the connection between the walled paper markets that etfs have and will insulate to capture all market gains from their products and my corn.  But I would genuinely appreciate a simple, concise explanation 🙂 emphasis on simple and concise


What is time locking?


I had the same thought. But here's my question. It seems the ETFs are selling bitcoin. Are they buying it ever? Or are they just selling "bitcoin accounts?"


I’m reading #Softwar and came across an excellent point made by the author.

“Almost nothing about what people experience on the Internet is random or even serendipitous anymore. All of it is being meticulously programmed by people who enjoy physically unrestricted control over billions of people's computers. That notification you got in in the morning for a smoothie coupon was not seredipitous; your apps continually harvest your phone's data and sell it to the advertisers who know where you live, where you work, the routes you take, and the fact that you’re going to be passing by that smoothie place you like in approximately 15 minutes. You are being manipulated.“

No wonder people think we live in #thematrix. We sorta do...

I will be so bold as to make a prediction.

Next week, once the ETF is cleared from the news cycle and the word "bitcoin" leaves the mouths of media "experts" who are making it scary and confusing, we'll see the bull return.

Wall Street got some cheaper sats. So did we. LFG.

Welcome!


ETFs are, apparently, deflationary. Sats are getting to be so cheap these days!


It's clear that now that the suits are involved we'll be seeing a lot more market manipulation via the corporate media.

Bitcoins's free market honeymoon may be over. It's time for the ride-or-die marriage to begin.

#buythedip


I imagine with a flood of new Bitcoin press (most of which is uninformed and dismissive) the non-diehards who don't understand the full dynamics at play here might be triggered to get out.

This, of course, is likely the tactic: corporate banks push the bogeyman narrative in the corporate press, drive down the price as much as possible, so they can get cheap sats and then ride the wave back up.

If so, it's brilliant, effective, and as old as time.

HODL.

#bitcoin #etf


Good morning #nostr. Do good. Be well. Happy Friday.


What client do you use? Love your work.


The responsibility of holding Bitcoin has never been more clear. Freedom has a price and so to does freedom money.

Hold your own keys
Run your own node

Remember why you hold

My wealth represents my energy and my energy, like my time, is scarce and limited. Therfore it is sacred to me.

Removing my energy from the corrupt system in which we find ourselves in May be a small act but it is not insignificant.

If I accomplish nothing else in my life other than to provide my energy to a true money, to a free money, it will be a success even measured against the highest of standards.


I would spend 12 hours doing this if I could. I'd wipe it clean and revel in building it back with #FOSS. Honestly, it's a problem. I am an addict.


Fellow Bitcoiners!

We finally have the pleasure of announcing the Halving Festival. A two day celebration of the next Bitcoin epoch.

This is an event by Norwegian Bitcoiners for ALL Bitcoiners!

The only requirement for participation is that you can send a Bitcoin onchain/lightning transaction, since we only accept #bitcoin  payments.

What date is it?

Well, we dont exactly know. Because in Bitcoin land we dont follow fiat time.

The event starts at the last mid-day before BTC block 840 000. If that confuses you, dont worry, we’ll keep you updated.

The event will take place at my farm. It’s located 1 hour away from the capital in Norway, Oslo.

The closest train station is Mysen, and we will arrange shuttle bus transport for those not travelling by car. Everyone else can park at the farm.

We havent planned everything in detail yet, but here is some of the content:

- Free meal of grassfed beef and roasted roosters from the farm
- Full roasted wild boar over the fire
- Viking competitions
- Wim Hof experience
- Series of talks about Bitcoin

This isn't your regular conference event.

In the planning of this event we prioritize authenticity above all else.

We dont want it to be about big names or loud music.

We want it to be about celebrating #bitcoin  and sharing values and ideas peer-to-peer.

So with that said, we hope you want to celebrate with us, no matter who you are, where you come from or what you do.

As long as you can send a Bitcoin transaction you’re in.

But be aware: Tickets are hard capped at 210, and the ETF’s are NOT priced in!

To get your ticket, go to: halvingfestival.com

Just in time hay delivery
https://i.nostr.build/4rjr.jpg
We underestimated how much hay we had to make it through the holiday season, and got this delivery with only one days worth of hay to spare. Hay is the largest input we have on the homestead and we make sure we get the most out of it not only feeding animals but simultaneously using the waste hay as mulch. This year since we have our Katahdin sheep and East Friesian dairy sheep in two groups there is more wasted hay. The hope is that even though we are wasting more hay that the extra attention to the dairy sheep will yield us more milk overall next season.
https://i.nostr.build/kkJa.jpg
When I say wasted hay, what I mean is that the sheep aren't eating all the good hay and only leaving the stems. Even though some good hay might go uneaten, we place the hay in an area in which hay mulch would be beneficial. In the example of the dairy sheep, their paddock is very close to the food forest, so we will only have to move the manure packed hay a short distance to use when growing our potatoes this spring.

#permaculture #permies #homesteading #selfsovereignty #meshtadel #grownostr #sheep #hay #foodforest #forestgarden


Um...we agree on literally everything.


This week will cause a massive narrative shift for bitcoin. But it was 100% clear that if #bitcoin makes its way, there will be a #BitcoinETF. Keep in mind 👇🏻

Hating this fact is stupid and irrelevant. Everyone knows and repeats that freedom is something you have to constantly fight for.

So don't talk about bitcoin being "captured by the elites." Instead, fight for freedom - by educating others about self-custody and the values of individual liberty and sovereignty that are being cast into bitcoin's code. Establish a world where proof of reserves is the common way to do banking.

In this way, an uncompromising minority will hold their bitcoin themselves. And only in this way are we able to keep the flame of #freedom burning.

Have you stacked today?

I'm listening to nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a's "Broken Money." It is brilliant. And because it doesn't have #bitcoin in the title, there is less social friction in making recommendations.

Lyn makes it all clear.

Also, side note: nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev (who does the audio book), uses highly-enjoyable watered-down accents when reading quotes. They're like mid-book easter eggs of joy.

Any #nostriches good at creating #umbrel apps out of #docker images? I'd love to run #openfire on my server, but don't see an umbrel app for it anywhere.

I love Umbrel...because I hate docker. Every time I try to do anything with it I feel like I'm trying to read Mandarin while upsidedown and underwater.

I'd love help from someone who knows what they're doing.

An #openfire umbrel app could bring encrypted decentralized messaging to self-hosters.

I know #NextCloud has NextCloud Talk, but the lack of Talk clients on desktops is bothersome. I want to use it without having to load all of NextCloud. (Which I love for other things.)

I am, of course, open and would welcome other ways to self-host a messaging server.

Are you solo mining or pool mining?

When people say they earn "about $1.50/day in sats" what do they mean? How is that paid? Is that paid daily by a pool? If you're solo mining, aren't you just "lottery mining" and hoping to hit a block (with no payouts)?

Well done.

Where we are.

"Business Insider: 3 Americans share how they got away with secretly working multiple remote jobs"

The American Dream is reduced to conning employers by working three jobs simultaneously just to be able to buy a home, send kids to college, and retire.

From the article.

Being "over-employed":
"...helped [...] turn his dream of retiring at age 65 into a potential reality..."
"...hoped it would allow him to send his children to college debt-free..."
"...hoped to use these funds to buy a home someday...."

Seems a good time for #bitcoin, #v4v, #fedimint, #deflation, etc.

We hold these truths to be self-evident
* that developing, maintaining and protecting a system of accurate weights, measures, histories, and ledgers is a good work
* that protecting the freedom of conscience by preserving the freedom of expression is a good work
* that developing, maintaining, and protecting a public marketplace for the peaceful exchange of goods, ideas, and services is a good work
* that developing, maintaining, and protecting a neutral system of payment is a good work
* that ensuring that these payments and exchanges can be transacted anonymously is a good work
* that it is nobler to give than to receive, but to deny the laborer the fruits of his labors is theft.

Let it be written.

Current plan is Braveheart meets Andor meets #freedomtech.


This is an interesting idea. An adjascent idea is to start a repository of classic public domain works on top of #nostr. Would be a censorship resistant open library.

Could even have a section that is specifically for #v4v publications like books, ezines, etc.

- Reverses human health crisis, puts us back on track to return to our carnivorous biological roots

- Stops unfathomable destruction of delicate wildlife ecosystems, reprioritizes #RegenerativeAgriculture

I agree and was thinking about this today.

#nostr is full of passionate people interested in creating a better world and though there are often disagreements about how to proceed, who is leading the way, and who still has the integrity to do so, I have yet to see a disagreement devolve into hyperbolic name-calling and virtue-signaling like everywhere else online.

Good  morning nostrworld! It's gonna be another beautiful day here on the homestead, and my coffee is hot and delicious.  I'll be watering some trees and plants today, and then check to make sure I have all my packing done for  tomorrow.  We should only be gone one night, so it's not alot of packing.  It's been a while since we left home, and I always worry about the animals.  Thankfully we installed the automatic chicken door, otherwise we would absolutely have to have a farm sitter.  For anyone out there that's looking to start a side hustle, and enjoys being around animals, you should consider farm sitting.  I hear folks around here all the time, asking if we know of a good farm sitter.
Anyway, yall have a good day, and do your work with a happy heart. #coffeechain #grownostr #homesteading #countrylife

Bitcoin puts a hard cap on the state’s ability to spend money//inflate money supply. Spend to much and the plebs adopt the bitcoin standard.

Homesteading puts a hard cap on the state’s ability to tax food. Tax too much and the plebs start producing food.

As demonstrates by our homestead economy the system is already at a breaking point. The more the state increase tax. The more my hourly wage increase when working on the farm.

It reveals a sick system. We are at the end of line.

Here’s the dirty little secret of how the U.S. empire pays for all these wars

They don’t, we do.

The dollar is the reserve currency of the world

And the U.S. weaponizes it to exert influence on its empire.

However, as with all empires, their hubris eventually gets the best of them.

In 1971 Nixon ended the gold standard. This means US dollars cannot be exchanged for gold anymore. This effectively gave the politicians the power to create money.

This is important because Gold, for centuries acted as a balancing force restricting politicians from creating money out of thin air.

And as the saying goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Since then, the US debt has gone parabolic see?
From 1 trillion to 33.4 trillion and accelerating.

They finance their wars by issuing more debt in the form of bonds (treasuries) and the world buys that debt. Your country, your bank, your multinational company, etc, all hold US treasuries on their balance sheet.

I.e. all these entities lend the U.S empire the money which it uses to fund endless wars all over the world, including the current Israeli genocide in Gaza.

I know what you’re thinking, but if they can create money out of thin air, then they’ll always have money, and be able to pay off their debt. Kind of

Of course, the US won’t default, instead, they will print more money (increase the money supply) to be off their debt to you, bondholders (this is your treasury yield)

But when u create more of something, that thing becomes less valuable. This is the primary and only cause of inflation. Not Putin price hikes or any of that nonsense.

The chart of the purchasing power of the dollar since 1971 clearly shows its trending towards zero.

So they will pay you back in interest, but that interest will be less than the inflation rate, so in nominal terms, you’re getting more money, but in real terms, you’re losing money.

This is how every empire in history fell. Endless wars with money they don’t have.

The Romans shaved off some gold from their coins to create more coins.

The British faked interest in war bonds prior to World War 1

Holders of US debt, all these countries, banks, multinational corporations, and even rich individuals will have two options:

1. Get REKT in real terms, or
2. put their money in hard assets (land, commodities like gold, or bitcoin digital gold)

#Bitcoin is an open-source protocol we will need to resist tyranny and financial colonialism.

bitcoin, not crypto. Study it.

In the fiat world, where money can be created out of thin air, the marginal cost of war is zero

Under a bitcoin standard, war becomes expensive again.

Read the Bitcoin Standard by Dr. nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak Ammous, a Palestinian-Jordanian author who wrote the best-selling book in the world about Bitcoin.

Read it, listen to it, and study it.

Bitcoin separates money from the state and allows us to exchange value peer-to-peer without the need for a trusted intermediary.

This is a super powerful concept and a threat to the colonial systems of control.

Stop lending your money to war colonial powers, and buy Bitcoin instead.

Fix the money, fix the world.

The emperor has no clothes.

Bullish on bedtime. #gn


The fact that Elon Musk's title is "Technoking" and Jack Dorsey's title is "Block Head", speaks volumes.

One is about ego, and one is not. But more importantly we can see the difference in their actions more than titles from there.

Elon wants to build Twitter or the shitty name "X" into the next WeChat, with himself as the leader. He has literally said this. I used to be able to report bots on Twitter easily for many years, but now I have to show a drivers' ID to report someone that copies my persona even as a 600k following paid blue check, and so I don't bother anymore, and therefore bots proliferate. And if you don't pay for reach, you get devalued. Only in the past few months have I had to show my ID to report my countless bot copiers if I want to report them on Twitter/X. And so their rate of removal has decreased. If my Nym differs a bit from my name, well LET'S FILE SOME TPS REPORTS!!!! (which wasn't previously the case). And so as bots proliferate, and as Musk fails to contain bots as he promised he would and bragged about with memes, he will instead reference his own self-created bot problem as a reason to require even more ID requirements and try to build his US version of the Chinese Communist Party WeChat app. This is exactly what governments do. In my professional opinion, after careful consideration, Elon Musk can ::check notes::  politely go fuck himself, and those who worship him should reconsider what exactly they show blind obedience toward.

Meanwhile, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m helps improve the Bitcoin network and the Nostr network and has put capital into them in various ways, and Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader. The fact that Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader, is specifically why Jack puts time and capital into them. He funds many different companies, and for bitcoin, Cash App has been among the networks to incorporate Lightning early. Yes, Cash App deals with domestic compliance issues. But they are trying, and they are early. Their network can connect to many others, like an email provider using SMTP to connect to many others. They're open, they're trying. And now they are making Bitkey, which helps with self custody. They're certainly not a directional enemy of freedom in the way that Twitter/X has been.

Companies that incorporate open networks with various levels of compliance trump companies that purposely don't adopt open networks and instead push new ID requirements, in my book.

+10 Jack
-10 Elon

"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. Nobody needs the digital euro. Not the banks, not the companies and certainly not the citizens. Anyone who wants to pay electronically is already doing so today. Those who want to preserve their privacy use cash. Anyone who has had enough of fiat money and is concerned with sound money has #bitcoin in their wallet.

Nobody needs the digital euro except the ECB and politicians who have something else in mind. Namely the total surveillance of citizens. I know, a lot is promised: data protection, everything secure. Nobody has any intention of spying on anyone.

This is all as credible as the great promises: When the euro was introduced, no bailouts, three percent rule, ban monetary state financing. Today the ECB does nothing else. And the Maastricht Treaty is just paper.

Today the ECB promises the highest data protection standards for the digital euro and tomorrow every transaction will be monitored and citizens will be completely transparent. In China, people are very effectively controlled with the digital central bank money, those who behave in accordance with the state have access to the money, those who don't are unfortunately out of luck.

It's called Social scoring and with the digital euro and it's also possible here without any problems, just like state control. A flight booking - CO2 budget used up, donating to unapproved organizations is out of the question. Eating unvaccinated like in a pandemic - the money is not released, a digital nightmare. And that's why we don't need a binding vote on the how - we don't need the entire digital euro at all. And that's exactly what the German government needs to fight for. Thank you very much."

A gave a talk at the New Orleans Investment Conference the other day. At 50 years and counting, it is the longest continually-running investment conference in the country, and possibly the world.

It is diminished from its heyday due to broader competition and online investment media, but it has a certain air to it. Ayn Rand, Ron Paul, Margaret Thatcher, Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Gerald Ford, and Steve Forbes have spoken at it, among many others. It is mostly a boomer/gold/resource/conservative/libertarian conference, and gets the best from that crowd, but otherwise is not huge. The guy who has run it for decades took it over long ago from the original founder, and he wants to freshen it up and modernize it a bit and throw some hand grenades into his own conference, so he invited me to talk. He is a gold guy, a resource guy, an old-school conservative, and he likes bitcoin and wishes he bought it earlier. He's open-minded, objective, and growth-oriented.

My talk was "Broken Money, Broken World".

-The first theme was that there are 160+ siloed fiat currencies. I used Egypt as my main example, and held up a physical Egyptian pound and said this is basically a national casino chip; it has very low salability outside of Egypt, similar to how a casino chip has very low salability outside of the casino. The 105 million people who live there are trapped in a fiat matrix of 20% annual money supply growth, like a treadmill that they have to keep up with in terms of their wages, price increases, rent increases, and so forth to avoid being diluted, and most can't keep up with that treadmill. And there are dozens of countries like this. I held up a Norwegian krone and said even though this is from a wealthy country, it is still a casino chip because what can I possibly do with it in New Orleans? It's too small and unsalable. This is outdated tech.

-The second theme brought it back to the US. I spoke about how the past four decades had two main trends: rising public debt/GDP and falling interest rates (see included pics below). Developing market currencies suffer while those of us in the US feel that things are stable. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, people rightly freaked out about the debt and deficit. The famous NYC debt clock went up in 1989. Ross Perot ran the most successful independent presidential campaign in the early 1990s on the debt and deficit. That was when interest expense as a % of GDP was at its peak. But what they didn't or couldn't predict, was that the next 30 years would be disinflationary. China opened up to the world. The Soviet Union fell. Western capital was united with Eastern labor and resources. China became a manufacturing hub, which was disinflationary. Russia supplied cheap energy to the German industrial base, which was disinflationary. Interest rates fell structurally, allowing more debt accumulation, and for prices to increase far more slowly than money supply growth. But then we hit zero interest rates, and then we monetized fiscal spending. We're in a new world now; debts and deficits matter again. Those guys from the late 1980s and early 1990s were right but early, and now we are facing some of those consequences. Fiat currencies including the dollar have structural instability.

-The third theme was to bring up again that there are 160+ casino fiat currencies in the world... and that every one of their gates are fucking down. Pre-Bitcoin, the only way to get money in or out of a country was 1) physical ports of entry (typically limited to $10k USD or so worth of cash and gold) or 2) bank wire transfers (highly controlled by local governments). Countries could maintain their little currency bubbles. But Bitcoin and then stablecoins blew that open. You can bring a billion dollars worth of bitcoin through an airport by remembering 12 words, or writing them down and tucking them away in your baggage, or briefly putting them in an encrypted file in the cloud. Infinite value density. Same for stablecoins- tokenized dollars or whatever the market wants in terms of global fiat currency and assets. I can pay a graphic designer in Nigeria with a QR code over a video call or email or DM in bitcoin or stablecoins or whatever she wants. All of this bypasses their currency bubble and goes around their banking system, unless their country wants to be North Korea and cut itself off or get shut off externally from the internet. And I said the investment implications and macro implications of this are massive; it's a new world that, over the long arc of time, breaks all the fiat bubbles.

Saifedean Ammous [2:05:00]: I think you’re more likely to be taking the leap in the unknown when you have a little bit of gold in the mattress than when you don’t — I think this is the thing. Like, if you look at the late 19th century — and I discussed this in The Bitcoin Standard — that was arguably the most innovative period in human history. There’s qualitative evidence: look at the world around you today — pretty much everything that we use was invented in that period — the car, the airplane, the telegraph, the telephone, the camera. Pretty much modern life, the late 19th century, the period between 1870–1914, because the whole world was practically on a gold standard, the whole world was using the same money, and the whole world could save in the same currency. That meant that two bicycle shop owning brothers in North Carolina could go and try and fly, even as all the scientific experts in 1903 were confirming that the possibility of flight has been debunked as unscientific. Thomas Edison said, Not in a million years we’re going to be flying. Lord Kelvin also said it’s never going to happen. The New York Times said it’s never going to happen the same month in which the Wright brothers did it, and they continued to deny that it was going to happen, even two years after they did it. But why could they do that? Because they had savings in gold. They had the security with something that you know is going to be there, and then you can take a risk with the stuff that is extra. I have, say, three years expenditures in gold under my mattress, and I know that I could take a risk with everything else because whatever bad things happen with all of my dreams like even flying — think about how insane that is — I still can go back to the three years of gold that I have saved.

Oh, and reading nostr:npub13kwjkaunpmj5aslyd7hhwnwaqswmknj25dddglqztzz29pkavhaq25wg2a's cheerful notes always helps. Go #zap nostr:npub13kwjkaunpmj5aslyd7hhwnwaqswmknj25dddglqztzz29pkavhaq25wg2a with me. Let's turn this day around for me.

Regenerative Farming and Bitcoin: How Proof-of-Work Connects Two Movements for a Better World

This blog post explores how sustainability and decentralization, two trends that reflect a desire for a simple, free, and decent life, are part of the same quest, by looking at the role of proof-of-work in the grassroots movements of regenerative farming and Bitcoin. It shows how proof-of-work can benefit both regenerative farming and Bitcoin in practical ways, such as reducing environmental impact, increasing efficiency and transparency, and accessing new sources of funding or income. It also discusses the challenges and risks involved in adopting these innovations, and how they can be overcome by education, awareness, and collaboration.

Sustainability and decentralization are two trends that have been gaining momentum in recent years. They both reflect a desire for a simple, free, and decent life, where people can take control of their own resources, choices, and destiny. In this blog post, I will explore how these two trends are part of the same quest, by looking at the role of proof-of-work in the grassroots movements of regenerative farming and Bitcoin.

## The Power of Proof-of-Work

Proof-of-work is a process where miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles using their computing power, and in return they receive newly minted bitcoins and transaction fees. Proof-of-work is the backbone of the Bitcoin network, as it secures its transactions and prevents double-spending. Proof-of-work is also a source of innovation and empowerment, as it incentivizes miners to use renewable energy sources, create synergies with regenerative farming, and access new opportunities for funding or income.

## The Beauty of Regenerative Farming

Regenerative farming is a holistic approach to agriculture that aims to restore the health and vitality of the soil, water, and biodiversity. It goes beyond organic farming, by not only avoiding harmful chemicals and practices, but also actively enhancing the natural cycles and processes that sustain life on Earth. Regenerative farmers use techniques such as cover crops, composting, rotational grazing, agroforestry, and permaculture, to create resilient and productive ecosystems that can adapt to changing conditions and provide food, fiber, and fuel for humans and animals.

## The Freedom of Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer network of computers, without the need for intermediaries or central authorities. It uses cryptography and proof-of-work to secure its transactions and prevent double-spending. Bitcoin is designed to be scarce, transparent, censorship-resistant, and borderless, making it a global alternative to fiat money and traditional payment systems.

## The Synergy of Sustainability and Decentralization

At first glance, these two movements may seem unrelated or even contradictory. How can regenerative farming, which is based on natural and organic principles, be compatible with Bitcoin, which consumes large amounts of electricity and generates heat and waste? How can decentralization, which is based on individual autonomy and freedom, be compatible with sustainability, which requires collective action and responsibility?

The answer lies in the deeper values and visions that underlie these movements. Both regenerative farming and Bitcoin are driven by a common ethos of innovation, experimentation, and empowerment. They both challenge the status quo and offer solutions that are more aligned with the needs and aspirations of people and the planet. They both foster a culture of learning, sharing, and collaboration among diverse and distributed communities. They both aim to create systems that are more resilient, adaptable, and fair.

## The Benefits of Proof-of-Work for Regenerative Farming and Bitcoin

![decentralized-market-place](https://i.nostr.build/nb7024.jpeg)
One way to illustrate the connection between these movements is to look at how proof-of-work can benefit both regenerative farming and Bitcoin in practical ways. Here are some examples:

- By using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, or geothermal power to mine bitcoins, miners can reduce their environmental impact and lower their operational costs. Some miners are even using excess heat from their mining rigs to warm greenhouses or aquaponics systems, creating a synergy between proof-of-work and regenerative farming.
- Regenerative farmers can use Bitcoin to exchange value among themselves or with their customers, without relying on intermediaries or middlemen. This can reduce transaction fees, increase efficiency, and enhance transparency. For example, farmers can use Bitcoin to buy seeds, tools, or equipment from other farmers or suppliers around the world. They can also use Bitcoin to sell their products directly to consumers or retailers, bypassing the conventional food system that often exploits or marginalizes them.
- Regenerative farmers can also use Bitcoin to access new sources of funding or income, such as carbon credits or crowdfunding. Carbon credits are certificates that represent the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering carbon in the soil or biomass. Regenerative farmers can generate carbon credits by using practices that increase soil organic matter and carbon storage. They can then sell these credits to individuals or organizations that want to offset their carbon footprint or support climate action. Proof-of-work can facilitate this process by providing a secure and transparent platform for verifying and transferring carbon credits.
- Regenerative farmers can also use Bitcoin to raise funds for their projects or causes through crowdfunding platforms. Crowdfunding is a way of raising money from a large number of people who contribute small amounts in exchange for rewards or recognition. Regenerative farmers can use crowdfunding to finance their start-up costs, expansion plans, research initiatives, or social missions. They can also use proof-of-work to accept donations or payments from their supporters or customers.

## The Challenges and Risks of Adopting These Innovations

These are just some of the ways that proof-of-work can complement both regenerative farming and Bitcoin and create positive feedback loops. Of course, there are also challenges and risks involved in adopting these innovations. Regenerative farming requires knowledge, skills, and resources that may not be readily available or accessible for many farmers. Bitcoin requires technical expertise, security measures, and regulatory compliance that may not be easy or convenient for many users. Both movements also face opposition or resistance from entrenched interests or institutions that may perceive them as threats or competitors.

However, these challenges are not insurmountable. They can be overcome by education, awareness, and collaboration. By learning from each other and working together, regenerative farmers and Bitcoin enthusiasts can create a more sustainable and decentralized world, where proof-of-work is not a waste of energy, but a way to secure the Bitcoin network and incentivize green energy sources.

Good morning! Good luck out there.


Just purchased #FiatFood from "The Bitcoiner's Bookshop" from nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak. I paid with #lightning. It was my first time paying for something with #bitcoin. I was too excited. I couldn't #hodl.

Spend time with those you love.
Stack sats.
Work to make the next generation more free.

I don't tell my wife how much bitcoin I buy every week...


We should stop and take an enormous appreciation for the total lack of control and censorship of the RSS protocol.

Its easy to forget when things work really well, but holy fuck through all of this, through the social censorship, through the advertiser attacks, the video hosting platforms, the search engines, and every other damn thing under the sun... if you have the RSS feed of the podcast you trust or value, you can always find that fucking show.

Imagine how much worse all of this would be without that avenue still open to us to share ideas?

The reason I bring this up is simply to remind us that this CAN work. It has worked. #Nostr could be the backbone for the social world.

Good morning #nostriches. Do good. Be well. We've got your back.

Well, friends. Today it was my turn in the barrel. I got laid off from my fiat job along with most of my coworkers.

I’m not interested in returning to that world again, and want to build the next phase of my career in bitcoin. I want to put my years of experience in creative, design, branding, and marketing to a better purpose, to help integrate bitcoin, the Lightning Network, nostr, and the ideas, values, and vision we share into the culture at large.

If any of you have ideas, a business, or a connection that I should make, let’s talk. Or feel free to tag someone in a reply.

💜⚡🤙


fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Good morning #nostr!


It seems to me than accepting USD as payment  is accepting a wasting asset. And accepting BTC is accepting a generational asset. (Which, if the business were to hodl, cash flow problems would arise.)

But how would business owners account for inflation, future value, etc? Is current exchange rate the only way? I suppose we do that with other currencies every day.

I'm inclined to offer customers a discount for BTC to account for the longer-term sacrifice they're making and zero processing fees and better privacy, etc.


Anyone on #nostr accept #bitcoin in their business? If so, do you accept a discount for #bitcoin because you value it more than #fiat? If so, how big is the discount?

Lightning? On-chain?

Yes! Beautifully used.


Dinner cleaned. Kids cleaned. Kids in bed. Cats out. Bob Ross on. #nostr time.


I very much wish email was no longer a thing.


Isn't it weird how a nym--a fake identity--makes it safer to be oneself?


I also have niece wallets. Nice.


Well now I have a new alarm clock, ring tone, door bell, and song for the funeral playlist.


Chores done. Work day done. Kids fed. #nostr time.


Off and running! Thank you.


Is it possible to adjust zap amounts in #amethyst? #asknostr


From nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m video he shared earlier "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson #quoteoftheday #quote #BYOB


I first loved #nostr for its advancement of social media.

I now love #nostr for its advancement of freedom.


Just fell in love with #nostr again.


My path to victory draws from Dems, Republicans + independents. Plus one more key supporter. #Kennedy24
