 We all want more purchasing power!

If you only have NGU and you do not have control of the money, it is completely useless!  

What do you think about the bitcoin ETF?

 As the governments want to censor more people, we will eventually see more people standing up and building freedom technologies.

So bullish on the future

 We have a history of rulers that have been used to changing the rules of money

Bitcoin fixes this ⚡

How do you think bitcoin is shaping our world?

 When you fix the money you fix the world!

Bitcoin is anti-war ⚡

 Until you humble yourself you won't even enter the kingdom of heaven

It was great to chat with  @jmb from  @TGFB

 Stay humble, stack sats baby!
What does humility mean to you?

 Bitcoin wasn't built as a privacy tool, it was built as a freedom tool

We have to build privacy into the protocol!

Do you think the financialization of bitcoin is something that will naturally bring in more freedom?

 I don’t know enough about ecash. Need to learn more 
 When you give someone the ability to produce money out of thin air you create the worst incentive system in the world!

Bitcoin fixes this ⚡

How do people not understand this? Drives me insane.

 If you told me in 2016 that we would have an elected president talking about bitcoin in front of 20,000 bitcoiners I would have called you crazy

Bitcoin changes the world ⚡

Do you think he will follow through on his promises?

 I have gained more followers on NOSTR overnight than the month of October on X

You guys rock 🧡 
 Money is just a reflection of energy;
Energy is value, money is value.

Bitcoin IS the energy in which is required to produce it ⚡️

 The Population Growth Debate:
Bill Gates says that we have an overpopulation problem.
Elon Musk says we have an underpopulation problem.

What if they're both wrong?

 One of the promises of bitcoin mining is energy abundance!

Not sure I trust him, but Trump's campaign team seems understand how bitcoin brings energy abundance. 

What do you think?

 Bitcoin puts governments into competition with themselves!

We’re watching it work in El Salvador. Who’s next?

 The funny thing about rights is when you have them, you don't need them. But when you need them, you don't have them.  
 Privacy 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 your 👏🏼 right
https://m.primal.net/LpNn.png 
 God granted us the right to privacy from other men. That's why He made our thoughts silent and gave us choice on when to share them. 

Privacy is a responsibility, I would agree. Most rights are.  
 71k sucks, fucking sned it already 😡🚀

 Bitcoin is a solution to everybody's problems ⚡️

When you learn about bitcoin you start thinking about the future generations!

How has your study of bitcoin influenced your views on the world?

 Nice to see  @bitcoinwell leading the pack on sats/dollar in Canada! https://m.primal.net/Loby.png

 Do you think Michael Saylor's Bitcoin Bet About to Backfire?

He’s pivoting Microstrategy to become a "bitcoin bank" - employing a ton of leverage and financial engineering to get there.

Will it work, or is it a rug in the making?


https://v.nostr.build/MMS5AXPHPFJbpe4n.mp4 
 Good insight. 
 Drives me crazy when people do things they don’t believe in so they can “increase their stacks” 

We buy bitcoin to stay rich not to get rich! Don’t be greedy 😤

 Do you think nostr will ever implement the smtp protocol? 

Having email on npub would be great 
 Good insight. 
NOSTR protocol better than SMTP 
 Wealth and power tend to concentrate in the hands of a few large corporations in a CORPORATOCRACY.

This is NOT capitalism. It’s communism for businesses.

 The biggest problem bitcoin fixes in the short term is your helplessness

 Our economy cannot outgrow the pace at which we print money!

Get rid of the FIAT mindset and study bitcoin ⚡️

What are these no-coiners missing at this point!?

 This US Government $2.5 Billion Kidnapping Scandal is out of control.

300 scammers got $2.5 Billion dollars from the US Government Medicaid program by kidnapping people across state lines for a sober house scheme.

How did this happen - and who is really responsible? Let's dive into it.

 There is a big problem when we have people getting in trouble for their inventions because of how other people use their inventions.

We need more free speech platforms!

How far do you think this will go?

https://v.nostr.build/KdlCasgK0hjcPUIQ.mp4 
 I need to follow more plebs on here. 

Please shill your favourite nostriches. Bonus for < 1,000 followers

 Free speech is exactly that 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 Who's to say it's a lie?  
 Pura Vida 
 I feel like a nostr client’s greatest value add (and path to monetization) is content curation 

Which is also incredibly anti nostr 
 The future is not platforms, it’s protocols

 I didn’t like this on X, and I still don’t like it in nostr. 

We should debate this on a camera :) 
 Lately I’ve been feeling like “Bitcoiners” are sacrificing privacy and decentralization for a higher price and NGU?

Whitney Webb's range the alarm and we chatted about it on  Future Proof clip 

Do you agree?

 Lower your time preference and find a balance 👏

Graham's question to me on The Time Has Come podcast  hit home. What are you going to wish for the most in 30 years?🤔

 What don’t you like about it? What do you like better? 
 Bitcoin is a technology for freedom, independence, democracy and transparency ⚡️

It is the money of hope!

Bitcoin is not an investment, it is a savings tool!

 God, give me the work ethic to change the world. 

^ my prayer for the last week. Productivity 📈

You don’t need medicine or a guru. You need Jesus. 
 Can Bitcoin truly scale as money with the Lightning Network?

Or will it be stuck with the same fate as Gold as only a store of value?

I dive into it on Future Proof! Take a look and lmk what you think ⚡️
https://v.nostr.build/PXdnmqilA3dvkRT2.mp4 
 Bitcoin stands for freedom! ⚡️
Gary Gensler represents FIAT 🤣

What did you think about the rest of Trump's bitcoin speech? TBH, I was a bit disenchanted...

 I make more money posting on primal than I do on X

Something tell me that will become truer over time 
 I meant nostr - but as you can tell I'm a primal user

 For those in the United States who are 100% off the USD and are #Bitcoin only:

 This is wrong. 

I pay more than half my income in taxes in Canada.  
 The government obviously doesn't value our time... otherwise they wouldn't steal more than 50% of the productivity we create with our time.

Let me know if you agree or why you disagree 
 Would you say they are positive if the "technological progress" is the result of a debt riddled society that is centralized and controlled by a small number of people? 

Our food is worse, our medicine is worse, our general health is worse, we are less in shape and more addicted to things than ever before. 

That said, we can move faster and communicate better than ever.  
 Something I posted on Twitter but I would be interested in perspectives here. I am not trying to ... 
 I think it's more accurately described as a corporatocracy. 

Basically communism, for businesses not individuals. 
Where the state are basically in control of the businesses and it makes more sense to lobby the state than spend money developing and marketing your products.  
 Walker is a great podcaster! Fun to chop it up. Thanks for the feedback 🤝
