My full quote to Politico regarding Satoshi and the HBO doc…
“For years, there's been endless speculation about the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, both in print and in media. Yet, until someone signs the private keys linked to Satoshi’s addresses, all of this remains mere conjecture.

Satoshi gave the world a profound gift in Bitcoin but deliberately chose to remain anonymous—a decision that must be respected. Efforts to unmask them are not just irresponsible but potentially dangerous.

Satoshi left the project early, and since then, countless others have contributed far more to Bitcoin’s evolution. Satoshi is no longer just one person; Satoshi is now everyone who works to restore a sound, incorruptible money standard for the world. We are all Satoshi.”

Argentina is moving up my bucket list of places to visit. Quotes from Milei’s speech at UN today.

“The UN has become a multi-tentacled Leviathan that seeks to decide how each nation should live."

"We reject the 'Pact for the Future'—it is nothing but a socialist blueprint for control."

"Freedom is the only path forward for nations; we must resist any system that curtails it."

"Socialism designs a world it can't achieve, and when it fails, it represses the people."

"Argentina will lead an agenda of freedom, not submission to globalism."

"We must empower individuals, not centralize power in bureaucratic institutions."

"Freedom, free markets, and individual rights are the pillars of a prosperous society."

"We reject the collectivist agendas that destroy wealth and enslave nations."

"Austerity and economic discipline are the only roads to true independence."

"Long live freedom!"

He unfortunately is now lost to Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome because he didn’t do the work and never saved any that he bought.

Sell above 58k, buy below 58k, hodl at 58k.

Seems like the most guaranteed trading strategy in existence.


Agreed, it’s a lavish dream of a movie


“No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association,  movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this.

Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others.

I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers.

This really happened. And it revealed everything.

In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.”

If you are new and don't know what a #Zapathon is, let me explain. Back in the early old good Ol' days we used to do something twice a week called Zapathon, it took place ever Wednesday and Thursday at 5pm est. What we would do is post memes, photos, videos ect with #Zapathon and we would zap each other like crazy to Zapathon posts, the purpose of this was to test infrastructure and reliably of Wallets and Nostr clients, but it was also just so much fun! It's an activity the whole community could engage in. Overtime it has kinda died down and went away, but myself and some others want to bring it back! So we will be having one this evening at 5pm est and we hope to see you all there! All you have to do is at that time post memes or photos or whatever you want with #Zapathon and also zap others Zapathon posts! Hope to see you all there!

I have a number of UTXO's in a Coldcard each in a different address.

If one of those addresses is doxxed, can someone work out the other addresses in the Coldcard from that one doxxed address?

Disagree. Any censorship, no matter how sensible it may seem, leads to more and more censorship.

Censorship predominantly benefits those who wish to exert power over others. All ideas should be discussed openly.

I’m from the UK and am watching my government change what is acceptable to say in real time, all under the guise of the common good, and what any sensible person would deem reasonable. I’ve never considered truly free speech as important as it is now

It turns out that people, when left alone and not manipulated by algos and the MSM, trend towards being awesome to each other.

Zapping plays with the incentives somewhat, people might believe that they can rage-post and garner rage-zaps, but I just don’t think it’s a winning strategy.

People will willingly pay with their attention, because people don’t know how valuable their attention is. I don’t think they’ll pay with hard money, because it has real-world value attached to it

BANGER
https://m.primal.net/HcuW.mp4


The studio is ready, Danny's flights are booked, and next week we’ll begin recording episodes for our new podcast.

I wanted to share the reasons behind this shift as many have been asking. Three primary factors influenced this decision:
1. I hate making remote shows—I never want to do them again. These interviews need the intimacy of being in person.
2. Traveling constantly has been detrimental to my health and my family.
3. My commitments here with the football club and local community are growing.

So, the solution was clear: build a studio in the UK and produce the show locally.

We’ve secured a fantastic space in Soho, London, and we’re ready to go but given the limited number of Bitcoin guests available in the UK or those willing to fly in, it’s time to retire What Bitcoin Did.

Our new podcast will be similar in feel but will cover a broader range of topics. While some episodes will focus on Bitcoin (though less frequently), most will explore other interesting topics or people.

Having made nearly 900 episodes covering a wide range of #bitcoin topics and guests, we’re now aiming higher. By diversifying our content and guests, we hope to introduce more people to the concept of sound money through podcast osmosis. If we get this right, it will be a bigger show, if we get it wrong, well we tried.

For a long time I have felt there is a need to get out of the #bitcoin corner of the party. Real Bedford FC was a way of integrating sound money into a traditional business model. CheatCode purposely did not include Bitcoin in the title, so changing the show feels like a natural next step.

Sometimes when stuck in the #bitcoin landscape you can lose site of how other people in the world think, lose empathy for the complexities of the world. I have felt this. I'd come home from spending two weeks with Bitcoiners and be with friends and family locally and notice a distinct difference in how we see the world. As everything feels like it is going to shit, I feel like there is a bigger job to do now.

The Bitcoin podcast landscape is well served, from Marty and Odell to Natalie and Preston, from The Blue Collar guys to Stefan Livera and anyone I haven't mentioned. There’s no shortage of high-quality Bitcoin podcasts.

However, there seems to be some fatigue in the space, with similar guests and topics being revisited. With our new show we want to bring fresh perspectives and ideas, aligning with sound money where relevant—think of the shows we’ve had with the likes of Eric Weinstein and Michael Malice.

On a personal note, I’m need the challenge, test myself wider, get fit and find a good woman. I can't do this travelling all the time.

When I started the podcast my life was a shit show - divorced, coming off drugs, heading towards bankruptcy. I've had an incredible 7 years, travelled the world, made amazing friends and got to live my dream by buying my local football club.

To everyone who has helped us get this far - the guests, the listeners, the sponsors, we could not have done this without you. I am forever in your debt.

I hope you’ll check out the new show and enjoy it, though it may not be for some of you. Regardless, Danny and I will work hard to deliver the best show possible, like we always have.

Roll on The McCormack Show!

For the majority of my life I’ve been having fun staying poor.

Free speech wasn’t a concern because I had nothing to say and not much to take. I wasn’t a threat to anyone. I worked my job and kept my head down.

Bitcoin has opened my eyes to the importance of freedom of money. Nostr is opening my eyes to the importance of freedom of speech.

My friends are still having fun staying poor, the work continues.

I’m also really concerned with the financial literacy of the public in the UK, especially those people complain about corporate price gouging.

It’s not only that people don’t understand money, they also will wilfully mis-read information and will not believe basic facts and evidence when presented with them.

I try to avoid just generalising about how the UK is turning into an Orwellian nightmare but’s it’s getting harder by the day


Just tried to engage politely and in good faith with a Twitter user about their misconceptions about how money works.

The more you reinforce a system based on theft, the more it steals from you, divides you, and then controls you.

From that system, war is inevitable because it is a requirement that you believe it is someone else’s fault to retain its power over you.

With the chaos from the existing system bound to expand over the next number of years, it will be easy to get pulled back in.

The more you reinforce a system based on truth, the faster the world changes to hope and abundance. We are early, but our actions matter more than we realize. Every node (we) matters.

I think part of the problem is that fiat degeneracy has made having a family so expensive that people have to tell themselves that they're making a decision to not have children because they simply can't afford it.

It's easier to make excuses about how life is better without kids when you're simply unable to have a family due to the prohibitive costs.

I have sympathy for these people


The problem with Bitcoin is that it forces you to accept that you were either wrong or ignorant about how money works.

I hear people dismiss money as ‘made-up’ and therefore not worthy of serious consideration.

In a hyper-financialized system where you must swim or die, being wrong is often catastrophic. Therefore the incentive to study Bitcoin and consider how wrong you were is non-existent

They’re positioning themselves to go after the centralised sections of ‘crypto’ and will likely succeed in squashing a lot of it (in the USA at least). They’ll be hoping that Bitcoin takes so much collateral damage that it dies.

MicroStrategy's bitcoin acquisition strategy has been really on-point.

I analyze a lot of stocks and see how they manage their shares. Most companies are rather pro-cyclical in this aspect. They buy back a lot of shares when times are good and shares are expensive, and then when there's a recession they reduce or eliminate their share repurchases, ironically when shares are cheap and it would be better to buy them.

A small percentage of companies have more forward-thinking executives that manage to do this more counter-cyclically. They buy back more shares then they are cheap, and they retain more cash or do other things with their cash when their shares are more expensive.

MicroStrategy has been doing this quite well, except it's about the strategy of issuing shares for bitcoin, which if bitcoin continues to be successful will have more impact overall.

When MicroStrategy wants to buy more bitcoin (which is always), what they seem to be optimizing for is how many bitcoin can they get per share. That's what builds shareholder value in this context. So when MicroStrategy stock is trading at a valuation premium relative to its underlying bitcoin, they can take that opportunity to issue more of these expensive shares, and buy bitcoin with those proceeds. When there is not a valuation premium, they can focus more on just buying bitcoin with incoming cash flow, or exploring other low-cost financing.

So far, they have been really on-point about managing this.

We use the ones with knotted rope in, ours struggles to do too much damage


I’ve engaged with enough professional shitcoiners, or shitcoin-adjacent tradfi deliquents, to have noticed a hilarious pattern to their butthurt reaction to nobody really caring about ordinals, BRC20, or whatever they are migrating to of late.

keep in mind what a monster breakthrough shitcoining on bitcoin would be to their business models, btw (which I may or may not get around to writing up soon - this isn’t it, fyi). given shitcoinery at large is finally fading away, this spins up another 5+ years of complete and utter nonsense marketing and the FOMOing management fees that follow spouting this bullshit confidently enough.

what they’ve converged on to explain resistance - apathy, even, given I wouldn’t say I care one way or the other. yay fees!  - is the idea that bitcoin development works in a top-down manner and has “priests” (they like this kind of religious vernacular, which I’ll come back to) who decree what projects will and won’t be worked on.

the level of projection here is astounding. it’s an open network. you can work on whatever you want. we are talking about ordinals NFTs in the first place because you already did it! you ran the scam! you got out with the money! and you’re upset that … you weren’t congratulated for it more?!?

it’s completely insane. contrast that to the alternative: they fucking despise lightning and there is no end of deliberate misrepresentations they won’t tell about it to aggrieve how hurt their butts are. obviously lightning isn’t perfect (nothing is perfect - it’s engineering, not art or, as they are more used to, performance art) but notice that isn’t their object level complaint because they don’t have the technical understanding to frame it that way. they describe their complaint as if it were anthropological, something like: the “priests” decreed all scaling efforts will focus on lightning, and lo, it was so.

again, it’s an open network (this time on top of another open network). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spoken to founders who are building on lightning because, unlike whatever crypto ecosystem they already spent 3 years toiling away in achieving nothing of practical value but doing free marketing to unscrupulous financiers, lightning actually works. they appreciate the design methodology. they *choose* to work on it. it is as bottom up a phenomenon as could be imagined and yet to the reactionary shitcoiner, it must be top down. how can it be explained any other way? what else could make people want to work on an ecosystem with no money printing if not central and ideological coordination? iT dOeSnT mAkE aNy SeNsE!

(fun fact: now they are learning what nostr is, they recycle all these same patterns of thought. "why would you work on decentralized social media? don’t you know we tried that in crypto? don’t you know you can issue tokens on bitcoin now?!?”)

so people aren’t using one free and open tool because they’ve been told not to by their church, but they are using another because they have been told to by their church. it couldn’t possibly be that they’ve decided to work on one and not the other because they *understand how they work and what potential value they will have long term, not to their unscrupulous financiers, but to their users and to the world.* nope, couldn’t possibly be that. must be the religious dogma.

now obviously we can expect object level discourse agitating for defi, DAOs, and all that kind of nonsensical bullshit. but, again, it’s frankly a more anthropological examination that fascinates me. what is it they are saying about the people involved? is there a social analysis rather than a (quick and boring) technical one?

self-congratulatory as this unavoidably is, what they hate is the raw meritocracy. money means nothing, reputation means *something*, but by and large ideas stand on their own. there is a fascinating subtlety here around the human (i.e. anthropological) response: because this stuff is technical and has to *actually work*; because it isn’t just aesthetic; because it serves a purpose and is validated in the real world; there is some objectivity to what is and is not a good idea. now, you can’t deduce it. it isn’t math. there will always be pros and cons. but it isn’t just taste either. some things *objectively* work better than others. there is nothing “open minded” about praising poor engineering.

honest, intelligent people attracted to the intellectual meritocracy will, therefore, on a long-enough time horizon to allow for battle testing the ideas, for teasing out pros and cons to a satisfactory degree, tend to agree on which are the best.

now, these people have bad ideas and get mad they can’t buy or shame or whatever else the meritocracy into getting onboard, so they project all this crap about “clergy”, “anointed”, and whatever other religious vernacular fits their cargo cultish misunderstanding of what it is they are looking at in the first place. heathens to this church are treated as brave, independent trailblazers, fighting back against an intolerant majority (by freely building one kind of free stuff over another 😕). that almost everybody independently concludes that these ideas are bad, because they proudly have rigorous standards for evaluating merit, BECAUSE THIS STUFF MATTERS AND IS BIGGER THAN YOU … they see as groupthink; as monotonicity; as the hierarchical broadcast of dogma.

and by the way, build to your heart’s content. as mentioned above, I don’t particularly care, and I think most people are the same. just don’t demand I like whatever bad idea you are working on. the problem is not “the builders” of reformist lore, it is their financial exploiters, of whom this is all downstream …

they all come from a world in which bullshitting hard enough will tend to yield a positive return in the end. obviously, in such an environment, everybody’s bullshit contradicts everybody else’s and yet everybody still wins. the idea of meticulously working to weed out bullshit and narrowing in on the actual truth is extremely uncomfortable if this is all you have ever known, and what you now expect to find.

as alluded to above, the funniest part is the projection. everything I’ve just sarcastically outlined is in fact its very own meme. it circulates in these cliques and infects any host susceptible to non-explanation for this culture shock. *it is not arrived at independently via rigorous reasoning*. it literally is the hierarchical broadcast of dogma.

and it’s ramping up for another 5+ year wave. enjoy! 😃🥳


Bitcoin fixes this


UBI would be funded through money printing that would then lock in high inflation because you would have to print money forever to keep giving out free money.

You end up with a dual economy where the poorest are given the absolute bare minimum to survive by the state (in the local aggressively inflating currency) and have no way of saving money. The middle and upper classes that have access to save in better money escape the worst effects of hyperinflation, but ultimately everybody loses.

We have to transition to a deflationary economy where the productivity gains provided by exponentially improving technological solutions mean prices will fall instead of forever rising, and we'll all be able to get by with less.

The transition will be difficult but the biggest posers will be the rent seekers that squat on top of the pile hoovering up free money


Yes! I do a weekly 36 hour fast and I absolutely love it.

Day 2 of a longer fast is pretty rough but if you can push through it gets easier after that.

Good luck!

On this day 15 years ago… An email was sent to the cryptography mailing list with the Bitcoin whitepaper. Happy #BitcoinWhitepaper Day! 🧡

 Only nine pages and 3192 words. And yet it changed the world. Profoundly. Thank you Satoshi Nakamoto!

In the past month I’ve travelled from Vancouver to LA, amsterdam, bali and now tokyo. at each stop I was able to pay and zap people in every part of the world with 0 friction. Bitcoin is borderless. When you hold bitcoin you have the ability to store and teleport value to any person on the planet. At some point we were convinced we need permission to do this, but not anymore. #Bitcoin the closest thing we have to true freedom, and its ours 🌏🧡


Yep. I've learned that you cannot make people see the truth if their lives revolve around the lie.

We are literally Neo


Musk wanting to control your entire financial life is pretty fucked. It will likely cause an even speedier exodus of users than its facing now.

If he'd bought Bitcoin instead of twitter, he'd be even more wildly wealthy. This isn't about money, this is about control.

Dumb mf can't see that it's doomed to fail but it'll be funny to watch it crash and burn.

Luckily the only people on twitter now are .eth accounts and racist comedians so fuck 'em

Hey Nostr 👋

Appreciate y'all 🫡


Make sure you drink a *lot* of water during the fast, it'll help with hunger pangs and you will get dehydrated more quickly when fasting.

Good luck! Stay strong!


I would suggest breaking a long fast with something more gentle on your stomach. Fermented food such as miso or yogurt are good, leafy fibrous greens and eggs are also good.

I normally break my weekly 36 hour fast with three scrambled eggs and cabbage lightly fried in butter 😋

Looks like a swarm of bots


Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.

We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.

Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions.

From "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" by John Perry Barlow

Into hour 22 of my weekly 36 hour fast.

The weight is dropping slowly but surely, and my mental health and digestive system are both hugely improved.

A year ago I wouldn't have even conceived of doing this weekly, now it's just habit.

Incremental, small changes over time really do add up.

$Boost
Price and price discovery can be a great driver.

In a free market, price is a signal, is a way of communication. If the price of something goes up, it can mean 2 things. Either the demand increased, or the supply decreased. How would a market react to an increasing price?

The user of the product will be incentivized by the higher price to decrease back its spending, because it decreases his profit. What he can do:
* use less of it -> will decrease demand
* try to replace -> will decrease demand

So we can say, that from user side, the reaction will be decreasing the demand, because it is too expensive. And as the demand decreases, the price of the product will go down.

The manufacturer of the product sees that it has a higher price, so he will want to sell more of it (micro-macro economy 101). What he can do:
* make more of it -> increase supply
* make replacement products -> decrease demand/increase supply on something else.

So from the manufacturer side, the reaction will be increasing demand a.k.a selling moarrr. And as the supply grow, the price will decrease.

Of course these things does not happen in seconds, but both buyers and sellers are incentivized to act quickly otherwise their profit decreases and they will have to tighten their belts.

We can say that this is an efficient process, because everyone acting in their own interest influences the other participants positively.

In this logic, price acts as a signal to both sellers and buyers that they need some action.

Also in such a system, the buyers are voting on the products with their money. If there is a great demand on a product, it means people want more of it, so the sellers and any participant can know in the market, that it could make sense to manufacture that product. And as more companies start to manufacture it, the price will go down, because supply increases, but demand not. In this regard money as a signal, can be thought as a vote.

But let's imagine a hypothetical scenario, where I can create money. If I can create money, I can decide into which product I put money to, so I can skew the markets voting. Because if I buy from that money certain products, I can increase the demand for it, which will increase its price. This way, it may seem to the market participants that this product is in demand  and they start to manufacture it, but when the supply increases, the demand is already gone (the money I gave disappeared), so that company wasted a lot of money on manufacturing something that will never return it back.


Yes mate!


Nope, lots of folk will though

For what it’s worth I’ve learned more from reading this than I have from ten years of listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos about bitcoin.

Your book has changed my life and has opened my eyes in an almost religious way. Your writing is so clear, concise and accessible about a subject that so few understand that I feel like I can see the matrix.

I want everyone I love to read this book and I hope you understand that what you’ve done is worth more than the money that it’s making you.

Thank you

If you can profitably trade shitcoins to increase your Bitcoin stack then you are a king.

Just don’t recommend it as a strategy because most cannot trade successfully and will just get dumped on and lose their Bitcoin.

When you’re pricing #Bitcoin in a fiat contract that is being debased (slowly or quickly) you are thinking as a trader.

Ie - I’m going to trade my #Bitcoin (at some price) for a money that must be devalued further (at some point)

While you may win a short term on the “trade”, the truth is that #Bitcoin is repricing everything. (Just some things are holding their value better than others)

And picking up pennies in front of a steamroller is a pretty risky strategy in my humble opinion!!!

I just read this and I think I got 2-3% stupider. This paragraph is possibly the most stupid thing I’ve read in weeks. Decentralisation had nothing to do with the Luna collapse.

It was idiotic ponzinomics on an expensive, centralised blockchain.

I fucking yearn for the day when ‘journalists’ actually start doing their fucking job and don’t just parrot the latest lines from their overlords in the 3-letter agencies https://i.nostrimg.com/db6a2e68f8fc0b78494e45d8cceaebc4eda1150da085fde903d9c815cd01f118/file.jpeg  nostr:note1pqxn3gqn5rrz3jzcd7nvde8rl9f7p3gvyx6tsj9nr58thrrac8qs86me8j

The collective consciousness has forgotten about the importance of hard money, it seems


Friends of mine are discussing retirement in our WhatsApp group and how they all think they’ll never be able to retire. They run a successful podcast that brings in a monthly fiat amount and they all work full time. I’m fairly sure they could all put a couple of hundred quid a month into Bitcoin.

I’ve told them all about Bitcoin multiple times. Recommended books to read, podcasts to listen to and YouTube videos to watch.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force it to learn about #Bitcoin.

Makes me pretty sad as I know the answer is there and in their grasp, but you just cannot help some people

I’m on coffee number 2 ☕☕🫡


Good morning!

Few beers last night so I’m really not feeling it today.

Send good vibes plz, and coffee

#coffeechain #plebchain


Sounds ok tbh


Please don’t zap me thank you


I’ve talked about it with my 11 year old, trying to frame it as a gambling game where the only way to win is to be a recipient of the pre-mine, and dump on those buying the public sale.

It’s neat because it introduces the cantillion effect and the dangers of gambling against the house in one fell swoop


My pleasure, pass it on 🫡


Good morning!

Sometimes nothing is the hardest thing to do.

It’s really simple. Buy #Bitcoin, self custody, then…

Just….

Do nothing


During sovereign debt crises, powerful countries have a lot of tools of financial repression available to block the exits.

But it’s hard to know how competent they will be at wielding them.

Best to plan and build for the worst. It’s always better to be surprised in a good way than a bad way.


If you use boost and prism you can share the zaps on a note around between people who repost it.

I’ve received zaps from a repost and it seems pretty cool, dunno exactly how it works in practice but it’s out there


Crossbows aren’t as expensive as I’d assumed


Bitcoin isn't my speculation.
It's not my wild bet.
It's not my hedge.
It's thousands of hours of parsing together ideas, tech, and use cases. Struggling over my own limitations and belief that even if it may not fix everything, and it will take time, that this thing is a force to be reckoned with.

It's become my savings.
My unit of account x/21M.00000000
And my preferred value transfer mechanism if applicable, especially Nostr.

I wouldn't link a card to a social account to send someone micropayments for a simple post I like.

I would gladly sling a few sats as an npub.

Especially when I believe it's debasement resistance is actually more valuable in the long term than sending someone $5.00 from a verified account propositioning social credit systems.


I have experience with firearms and am a pretty good shot, just never imagined I’d ever actually require those skills!

I’m not used to thinking adversarially, since truly grocking Bitcoin it’s all I can do.


lots of food for thought after my last post about protection. Thanks everyone who replied.

Wy wife and I are having some frank discussions about what our future could look like.

I love it here


cruelty is so easy. you are not special in the slightest for choosing it. <3

no amount of time spent in the gym will give you the strength with real value. only when you love will you be able to lift the world, and not hide behind the cruelty you show to others.


I couldn’t deal with how often I’d have to charge the thing!


I hear you, but the prevailing anti-arms narratives are very strong, and most trust the state and rule of law.

As the currency debases and the incentives more favour violent crime, we’ll see more violent crime.

I’m more concerned now with my immediate options, as I can see how society will go if we don’t reverse the lunacy of inflation and ‘necessary’ debasement


As a UK dwelling pleb I could never get my head around the USA’s obsession with guns.

I now get it. When you have something to protect, you cannot rely on anyone else.

Imagine trusting the state and police to do anything other than fuck you?

I feel rather naked now 😕

Beautiful!


I think Nostr is incredible


PSA: If you want to use $boost correctly, you have to wait until you get 10 reposts and then zap the prism (not the original note). 🤌

I think it's a way to share zaps to a post with anyone who re-posts it. So if you zap a post with X sats, people are incentivised to re-post it for a share of the bounty.

It seems to be a bottom-up way to promote your message


What is $boost?
#asknostr


many of us realized craig wright was a fraud within a few weeks of his publicity stunt in 2016

naive influencers gave him air, said it was "too early to rush to conclusions," and latched on to him in order to gain a little bit more celebrity status

most of those supporters quietly fell to the background, never admitting any role in his rise

they can *kindly* go fuck themselves


Did I just need to repost it or do something else?


Let's do a $boost experiment 😉
I am zapping 7500 Sats to this post 💰
That means that the first 10 ppl who choose to boost it, should each receive 750 Sats for participating! 🔥
Wanna try it? Just boost this note! 🫡

Good morning #Nostr

I’m a third of the way through Broken Money and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I wish it had been available when I was a teenager, I suspect my life would look quite different now armed with the knowledge that it imparts.

nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a has an effective, straightforward and engaging way of explaining the history of money, I’m already looking forward to thrusting it into my children’s hands

Have a great day everyone 🫂☀

That's true, I do have a crappy one lying around. I'll look into it, thanks!


I really want a Ronin Tanto, but the problem is that I'm buying bitcoin with any spare cash I have at the moment.

Planning to sort it out when we're a bit further into the next bull run


I use Alby, for messing around on here, but am planning to get a hardware full node running soon


Yessir

I remember when everyone said Lightning couldn't work.

The FUD was unreal, especially from the bcashers.

I used to agree with them.

But... it seems to work wonderfully? and will only get better?

Just goes to show, you're probably wrong most of the time.

nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Hi Jeff, I’m listening to you talking about 3-5% ‘yield’ via lightning.

I presume this is by managing a lightning node and locking some of my corn in there.

I’m reasonably tech savvy and am curious about learning more due to greed but a bit cautious about locking capital up.

Can you recommend me some material or a good place to start learning about this?

Before today I had a load of tabs open with various theses i had on the go for some shitcoins I thought might pump and increase my stack of #Bitcoin.

Closed them all, and instantly feel calmer and happier about things.

We’re so fucking early. Those maxi’s in 2014 new the score, and I thought I knew better, and have done for years, until today.

No more.

I was one of those until very recently and I’ve owned Bitcoin for 10 years 😅

A big part of getting stuck in a rut (with any aspect of your life), is when you accidentally normalise stuff that isn’t normal. Everyone does this from time to time, we are all just sort of blind to it.

The only way to get out of it is to unormalise the stuff that you accidentally normalised.

The challenge though is that the corrective action will feel extreme to you (not normal!), even though it’s probably pretty normal.

Humans can normalise anything, so from time to time it’s good to make some extreme decisions that are directionally positive for you, ie violate your bad habits, and make some sacrifices to hit on some good ones.

Over 30-40 years these tiny nudges massively compound to your advantage. Most people just flutter along through life stochastically normalising weird and unhelpful stuff.
