 The real advantage is not needing to exit your preferred store of value just to transact quickly & privately. 
 No truly great recipe survives contact with the super market. 
 Substitutes. 
 Many people encounter Bitcoin, see a glimpse of what it means and get super excited.
But most are... 
 All the way 🤝

As soon as you give something or someone a label, some of their magic is hidden from you. 

I guess it's one of the hardest of judgements to avoid. Can you ever really stop your mind from labelling everything?

The Truth points to there being no Other.

 Why would you let them steal your money? 

Why do you care what they call themselves?  
 I'm into Truth.

 They're definitely useful. 

They can be limiting. 
 Responsibility is a foreign concept to most millennials in first world countries. 
 Most humans. 

Responsibility has been in decline across across all generations.

To be truly free, means to take responsibility for all things. 
 There are really people out there with a wallet full of dog with hats and frog tokens calling us ... 
 We all had to touch the stove. 
 Dear Bitcoiners on #nostr,

For some, when you see or hear someone say they are a progressive/lef...

 Can DVM feeds please get the same UX treatment as the main feed in nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kk... 
 I'd forgotten about them. 

They're a little bit hard to get to right now. 

I wonder if they were easier to access, people might value them more? 
 Nostr might be the only UX that doesn't blast Tor users with captchas... 
 That's so true 😆 
 I like the new page & look. 

I'm wondering why you decided to put the Users & Merchants portals after Developers & Enterprises?

I would have gone Users > Merchants > Enterprises > Developers.

Users are the least invested in staying on the site. It also seems to be the simplest information.

I'm betting most Devs would persist to the Dev area.

 
 I love it when someone prepares a meal with love for me. 

That frequently never happens in a restaurant these days. 
 It's awesome for that alone. 

Who's gonna mess with a fed surveillance van?

😆 
 I wasn't planning on listening to a podcast but seeing as it was published on Nostr first, I felt a little compelled. 

Nice chat gents.

Thank you  
 I think Nostr is more about being able to listen clearly than being able speak freely. Yes - not being cancelled by thin skinned thought police is cool, but it's only 1 ingredient in the magic sauce.

Like Bitcoin solving money, Nostr solves a problem that I'd almost stopped noticing.

The ability to tune into what is said from specific sources without sifting through a heap of noise. There's no way to do this any more without trusting another centralised party that will ultimately be compromised. How do I know I'm hearing everything that is being broadcasted by a source? How do I get rid of unsolicited noise that's being thrown at me?

Yes there's noise on Nostr, but that's mostly on us for tuning in to noisy frequencies.  
 Very inspiring video man.

Thanks for documenting & sharing your journey. Having the camera rolling through the experience must have introduced it's own dynamic & pressure for you. I imagine that you would have published whatever the outcome. 
 Too much coffee…… 
 Yeah that's not a nice feeling 
 Does this note break your client too?

 Can you see all the pics & videos? 
 Maybe it was just too much to hold in memory for my little pixel 6a 
 Hold your frequency & let it influence the you that thinks they're the other.

 And that's how you get perfectly parallel grill lines on a thin steak!

Sometimes I can smell the X on their notes.

 Salyor could be playing 7D chess.

 There's no perfect way to custody your Bitcoin. Anyone that says otherwise is probably trying to sell you something (he's kinda got a point here). Some of those things are also really useful depending on your risk model.

When Saylor speaks he's acutely aware of his own risk model. This influences both his stated preferred custody solution & the narrative he's weaving on a broader level. He's aggressively shorting the USD with a publicly traded company. He has to tread carefully in public.

Sailor's good for Bitcoin. 

MSTR is good for Bitcoin. 

Neither are getting my sats if I can help it & I don't have to trust either of them at all.

 Now we have an exit & it's clearly marked. 

Back then there was little to be hopeful about.

 There's only ever now. You can only experience the expression of the past in the now. 

I enjoy living on the edge of expansion. It is the most exciting place to exist in. 

I also enjoy watching & participating in the expansion that others are experiencing. I'm experiencing this now in your note signed just 4hrs ago. A footprint of the now you've already experienced & yet that footprint is still expanding as others weigh into your expression. Diving through something expressed a year ago has a very different feel to it. 
 Whenever I see statists like the ECB get upset about Bitcoin, or when I see more brazen regimes t... 
 We will receive less opposition if there's nobody to fight them.

Every person is incentivised to accumulate Bitcoin.

Their shitty fiat system is dying & it needs no help from Bitcoin in it's destruction. As you say, Bitcoin is just the most logical exit, the escape valve.

They'll still try to fight it by manipulating price, attacking proponents & banning it's use. Bitcoin will be fine, but some of its users will be targeted.

Focus on building a new system rather than fighting the dying one. 
 When you press the X icon to close a new post, should the app delete that draft or keep it? 
 Ideally you'd be able to set what the app does when you close an unposted note. 

I've never benefited from a draft reply but I've used drafts of new root notes a few times. This has usually been because of a crash or something unexpected like a distraction. I generally put more time & effort into a new note than a reply.

 
 It's going to be hard to get trees growing unless you go from seed & then you get a lot of variability. 

Comfrey is your friend & doesn't generally compete with trees. It'll send a nice big tap root down into the clay & encourages soil life (they drop a lot of exudates). You gotta keep that clay moist with mulch though.

With your lasagne bed construction, lay some crushed charcoal (bio char) down at the soil layer. As this gets incorporated into the clay, it'll improve drainage & soil life.

Use fast growing support trees like eucalyptus & legume trees to eventually pollard & coppice for bio mass.

Clay is nutritious & holds water/life if it's kept moist. Drainage & compaction (no air pockets) is probably your biggest issue with it. Keep piling on organic matter that will be incorporated by the soil life you'll encourage. 
 Comparing your experience to the ones of others in order to judge your existence, is auto-sabotag... 
 You probably shouldn't judge your yesterday self either. 

Know that you did your best at that particular point in your experience, with what you had available. 

Always do your best with the knowledge that this brings improvement over time.

 That's beautiful man.

I was too scared to do it, if I'm honest. 

A wasted opportunity. 
 Dollars seem to be coming in but sats aren't being stacked?

Are the ETF traders just bad at trading or are they hedging other fiat bets?

Seems weird. FAFO I guess. 
 There'll never be cures or peace while those incentivises exist. 

Defunding & shrinking the state is the only way to remove those incentives. 
 That's nothing. 

There's are an intransigent minority who think 4 of the top 6 are going to zero.

 Chuck it in NZ dollars - it's $113K over there. 
 It's probably more about lowering CPI

It's only a matter of time here. 

I need to go further out.

The govt can't tax the work you perform directly for yourself.

The govt also can't tax the work that plants, worms, bacteria & animals perform for you. That's why they want you to buy from farmers that use heavy machinery & fancy fertilisers/chemicals. 

Since discovering Bitcoin, I've also been rediscovering permaculture. For me, it's been about building resilience rather than becoming self sufficient.

Yesterday I finished planting 84 ice cream bean trees from seeds I collected from my mature tree. I have a long mound of dirt that I made with an excavator last year. I've no idea all the mistakes I've made yet but it's fun to play with nature & life again.

The mature flowering ice cream bean tree (Inga edulis):

 No bunyas. I planted a jackfruit because of Geoff & I don't really like it 
Maybe I'll learn to like it this year - it's only started fruiting in the last 2 years.
 
 I don't have a cherimoya but I have a sour sop & used to have a custard apple until it died (too dry a location). I also have an American pawpaw in a pot. They're all from the same anonna family.

It should be just a case of planting some of the big seeds in the fruit.
