There are widely different takes on this concept- culturally and biologically. Agree in general, but think too many people think masculinity means physical force over others. Some tough-guy BS… is not masculinity. At least for me.

Seems more a matter of world view through a very long lens of history - at the philosophical level.  Cultural, religious and historically violent clashes over land and sovereignty in a more concrete sense. Each side feels justified and forced into a last stand mentality, or is able to use the feeling to good effect, while many powerful external forces are playing at “geopolitic”…but they continually manage to fuck things up for everyone but the arms dealers, bankers and lobbyists.

I also have to add - trying to absorb the opening of the 3-Body Problem is tough! It’s a good example of the challenges of reading material immersed in a culture and history different from my own experiences.


I think all stories have many layers, just like creators have many reasons and goals in creating their art. Much of the woke “content” is not art, and the goals behind hit include representation for its sake.

I don’t enjoy art that feels forced. Or that seems to have subtle agenda’s - at the same time, subtle agenda’s can be rewarding if done artfully.

I don’t recall ever buying a pen or pencil. How did this happen?

I’ve heard the whole “how do you make a pencil” to convey the complexities of our modern world and global supply chains.

Interesting tidbit.

I have a close relative who was active during the anti-nuke movement in the 70’s- 2000’s… came from it from international security and energy policy.

Had a long conversation this evening and he is now very open to revisiting the idea of a nuclear energy policy, with many reservations. But still, felt like a new trick for an old dog.

Then, I blew his mind when I sent him this and said, yeah, did you now the current WH basically is going all-in on nuclear energy. He pretty much was like, oh, really, Ok, I need to read up.

And equally important, how you react and respond to them.


In some ways, #Satoshi and #bitcoin created a Copernican or Newtonian paradigm shift. Once you understand the earth revolves around the sun, there’s no going back. And everything just makes more sense.

Similarly, the flat-earthers (modified analogy) literally can’t get their heads around the idea.

We’re living on different plants.

The one-way adjustment in worldview from no-coiner to bitcoiner is that drastic and everlasting.

And once orange-pilled it’s hard to remember what it was like before. Thankfully.

But also, let’s have some compassion for our flat earth friends and neighbors.

Ultimately, we need them to join us. I try and share one little observation from the future with my no-coiner friends every day. And you #nostr freaks help in so many awesome, funny, insightful ways. Thanks and keep it up.

Happy 4th to some! Nobody really knows the exact details of how it all began, but today, it began like this… #pancakes

LFG! Thank you for your invaluable contribution to a better world!

Mad Hugs!

And #bitcoin


LFG!


Thanks for sharing Lyn, both the pics and the taste of history and the current melange of human-ness. I had similar experiences throughout Turkey and felt it provides a unique way of being immersed in both past and present. Enjoy your time at home and continue sharing!


What’s a list of shoulda woulda in order of priority & technical savvy? … seems the latter would allow a noob to slowly build their understanding of the #bitcoin network.


You mean something like active journalism, some might call “news”, in the 21st century? Nope.

But if there’s a chance to info-tain for a small cut of advertising dollars based on eye-balls… that may very well coming soon.

Thinking in today’s world, this includes #bitcoin and #nostr

Happy Father’s Day to all the #Nostriches out there. It’s the most important thing in the world. Enjoy and savor the experiences you’ve had, shared and look forward to.

Touching some grass-ish between stacking. Spending time with friends and family from France is a good reminder to slow down a bit, enjoy the essentials of good company, food, wine, ambiance and exchange of stories and ideas.

Works wonders for the soul.

Doesn’t hurt to be in Sonoma.

For those who’ve never had to worry about the sustained value of their fiat dollars, understanding the relative nature of currency is a leap. But an important one on the road to understanding paved so gracefully by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a  and so many others.

Stay curious! Happy Fathers Day :)


Is it the “Stanford” that gives weight, or the people and the product? Can they be separated? If the latter, perhaps others will pick up the torch and continue to support the important work. Seems like complimentary work being done by others? Sadly, often ego and turf fighting get in the way of seeking efficiency and synergy for increased impact. And political pressure can influence - is there a way to inculcate from this? More freedom tech? Less influence if politics and money are separated? Thanks for sharing and spreading the news.


Love it! Also feels like something tech hardware will catch up to soon? 2-3-4 years? so we aren’t all chained to the larger-screen-view of laptop or desktop. Feels a bit like how graphical/creative content evolved from 2D, to 3D, then spunoff into Layers to allow for flexible manipulation and view of the data… can’t wait to check it out.


And sometimes there are some, tiny, delayed repercussions…. Wayyyyy after the shit went down.

Good to know some history… sounds all too familiar.


Seems like SF needs a local version of nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h - if others in SF area interested, I’m accepting Zaps to buy us an iconic spot on the cheap! It’s about time San Francisco got its shit together and embraced #bitcoin and #nostr

https://m.primal.net/Icao.png


Stay positive, stay vigilant. Stay sane.


Definitely agree in general. I would add, as an investor in both, having others pay down the mortgage on property/housing that I may someday utilize, or others in my family way wish to use, is valuable in its own right. For this reason, real estate offers an interesting alternative investment category within “hard assets”.

Major caveat- much of the benefits of real estate investing accrue from how the tax code is written, while the benefits of #bitcoin are embedded in the protocol/network. And those fuckers are gonna slowly but surely change the tax code.


Savor the memories, thx for sharing.


Great news! Sounds like #Norway could use a primer. Interested to hear how you convey the concepts, use of metaphors, level of interest, types of questions… you could put in a class, after class. Good luck!


Thanks for the great work and summary update.


They tried that in the first Matrix and the human mind rebelled.


Hook ‘em Hodl!


Follow the fiat. Selling bombs is way more popular than selling humanitarian aid. Fucked up shit my country, the good ole USA does. Guess when you’re almost dead, poking the fucking nuclear bear(s) doesn’t mean as much as it does to the rest of the human race.

Okay, probably obvious, but not a programmer. But really enjoy the problem-exploration-brainstorming part and reading about all the exciting ideas manifesting across the planet daily :)

Community-led Mobility? Anything like this happening?

With something like #fedimint and #Nostr or whatever new
Crazy shit you all are working on, a circular transportation network seems totally possible… With a mix of transportation modes - buses, shuttles, smaller cars, e-bikes, bikes, etc - and the support system of mechanics, suppliers and finally fuel and administration - licenses, insurances etc. you’ve got all
the main pieces. Coordinated and shared costs without all the middlemen could be like a super advanced version of City CarShare or a modern-day Co-Op for Mobility. Transportation based on the ability to create peer-to-peer networks within a larger overlay connected by #value4value… with payment-for-service (riding, servicing, ride sharing/driving) could remove the various middleman - Uber, Visa, Hertz, AAA Autoshop, etc…

Soon enough we’ll have Robo-Taxi’s gunning for bikers across the country- and the Googles and BYDs and Fords are pretty far along in their effort to corner the Mobility-As-A-Service market.

Food for thought.


I’m no lawyer and I sure as hell
Don’t want to play one anywhere… but what if there’s something to the legal precedent with the following:  If memory serves, under the Citizen’s United case, Corporations, political action committees and “dark money” secured the constitutional right to “Speech” under the First Amendment, and by Speech we mean spending money (fiat, not #bitcoin)… in this case seemed to focus on a standard that independent (political) spending wouldn’t be enough to corrupt the system, so the Speech of firehosing campaign and lobbying cash is totally OK.

Seems like my independent spending of #Sats, #Zaps, or even some digital shitcoin should warrant some protection as Speech. Any constitutional lawyers on the relays? #AskNostr


Quick daily update in short, digestible snapshots: 1) Religious war, 2) Cultural wars, and 3) Actual War

https://m.primal.net/ISnA.png


All these fiat guidelines and goal posts are bullshit. Even when peeps are making decent money, very few have enough basic financial education to make the most of it …  the system is stacked against us, so we gotta keep stacking #bitcoin


No shit! Per Southern etiquette- as a young boy, I was taught to answer the phone, “hi, this is FirstName LastName, how can I help you…”

Only risk was some other rando teen calling pranks… as far as we knew.


Slowly, then suddenly


Rock on! If you like really good authentic Mexican food, I strongly recommend Alma’s in Scottsdale. It’s outstanding…

Says so much about our world and country… the homeless guy sleeping, the SaksOff5th.com ad, nobody else at the public transit stop… thousand words at least.


Really appreciate the productive and collaborative response(s). Reinforces my take that @miljan and the entire Primal team are focused on building better ____ (lots can/could go here), with the potential to drastically change our world for the better. Their work has already done so for me and I assume at least a few others along the way. Thank you and everyone else contributing. And. Keep. Building.


GM #nostr this year, San Francisco Carnaval is going purple party stealth mode… and the sun is fully supportive!

Great to see so many people out and about at SF Carnaval… but no booths for #bitcoin. Would be a great spot to promote the future of money…Adding to the list.

I thought it would take a couple years before someone the size of tidal would write "nostr" in their codebase

summarily


Agree. Bitcoinmagazine.com has some great articles. Depends on how you come at these topics, but just heard Nostr’s own nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc talking about 21 Lessons

Seems Elon is getting nervous about the financials, realizing he can’t get *his* ideas implemented without centralized control, struggling with removing the bots, responding to the lingering effects of Choke Point 2.0, or even some variation of all of the above.


Word! For some stuff, mostly consumer appliance-electronics, I use rtings.com.


Happy BPD! #bitcoin

Dogs are awesome. The older I get, the more I want to live like a dog. My tribe is important…my pack is where it’s at.

Walk On!


GM! Raised some fiat for a great cause last night. #bitcoin is still early- no mention of Bitcoin or similar in the traditional fundraising world.

https://m.primal.net/IIil.jpg


Congrats to the entire Real Bedford family! Just like #bitcoin, there’s more to come!


Word! Great story. A Bitcoin Parable. Thank you.


Oh dear, the bank has been busy. Glad we’re focused on the dangers of #bitcoin

https://m.primal.net/IHnX.png


And… what’s the alternative? Especially with a few Billion folks around. We haven’t really tried the whole Govt-without-the-printing press just yet, so that’s where I’m focusing my blood, sweat and tears of hope #bitcoin


Just like fast, easy, cheap… pick 2. May need to pick 3 of the 4. At the same time, it’s on us to help build the community we want to see. One #bitcoin at a time.


Just listened- very exciting and fun to imagine where this could go. Keep up the great work!


There’s an art to reading headlines, but they can give you a very good sense of how the Propaganda machine is reacting.

Inflation and China are the new bogeymen, reinforced daily in headlines across our screens.

In some ways, it might also be viewed as simply contributing to building a resilient community (physical and otherwise).
This looks a little different to each, each person, family and community, and we need to be talking about what are the needed elements… I’d say #bitcoin is one. And #Nostr. Some elements require greater degree of coordination. Our new ingredient is the ability to coordinate value across space and time without a central authority. The central authority now becomes our Community. Pretty freaking exciting. What’s next?!?


It was so cool :) loving the memories
https://m.primal.net/IFxt.jpg


GM to all the Mom’s out there! Just had the fortune of attending a High School track meet - and there’s nothing more exciting than a high school relay race, with the parents and teammates going bonkers and the student-athletes so focused. It’s a beautiful experience. No yelling, ref-baiting or jeering. Just the teams all going against the clock. It reinforces the preciousness of every millisecond. #bitcoin

https://m.primal.net/IFxq.jpg


It’s the purpose beyond just financial enrichment that seems we’re struggling with as individuals and communities. In part, I think people just don’t really know how to seek engagement, purpose and motivation outside themselves beyond a few topics - religion, political tribalism, sports teams, etc.

However, just having a space like this where the influence of the money chasers isn’t overwhelming is incredibly powerful and inspiring- a bit like #bitcoin


Build on! You are a Noinstiration to us all!


Sheeeit, even if I trusted one of the central authorities in my life, sure as fuck don’t trust them all.


But then Dr. Horrible would try and steal all the Bitcoineum to power his new Freeze-Ray!


Nice work, Argentina. If true this is a pretty big deal. #bitcoin

Wow, big news. Schwab goes high-tech and now provides settlement in just one whole day!
#bitcoin


All a matter of perspective. Could be what led us to Bitcoin in the first place. Or why some of us are worried about BlackRock… etc.


GM #Nostr from Scottsdale!

Just like clock work, Block work #bitcoin


Great - the more the better. Would suggest letting viewers know approx level of technical detail you’ll cover and for those just learning, offer some alternate resources for starting with the basics. Also, I’m always looking for ways to explain the different roles and benefits of miners, nodes, validation, etc. just mapping out the different components of the protocol v network. Thanks again for all you’ve done so far and keep it up!

For f*ck’s sake… this was filed in 2005.

And the ruling requires a reduction of at least 0.04 % for at least 3 years.

Oh, and keep 12/31/2023 swipe rates for 5 years.

Can we just get some #bitcoin

Fucking chump change to these behemoths.

word! My ladychef showed me where (in some search results) you can see the number of ingredients and prep time - which can also be super helpful.


LFG - so  cool!


…and NOSTR actually, which is pretty freaking amazing and I love the energy here! Excited for 2024!
