Having fun staying poor while stacking some sats. nostr:note15uf233hq6mmtz0a46n7cug6wr3mccuafd95javuvtme7p8c3ug3skwz30z


## All memed out

It finally happened. I think it was October 25th, at circa 18:45 in the evening. I was doomscrolling my Nostr feed, and kept seeing the same Bitcoin memes repeated over and over, by different people. They weren't even reposts, they were copy-pasted versions of the same image. A very funny image. Well, it was very funny last year... and the year before that... and probably the year before that, when it appeared on a different network.

Because it's all just reposts, copy-pastes and rehashes of the Best of Bitcoin Twitter, just like the tiresome influencers, with their groupies and their Episode 498 of *Let's all eat a large chunk of lightly-burnt dead animal and count our stacks before jetting off to talk about how to save the poors by getting them to buy individual satoshis with money they don't have*.

![steak](https://www.tastingtable.com/img/gallery/10-minimum-best-large-cuts-of-meat-for-grilling/intro-1691424874.webp)

## I'm the poors your looking for

It's all so tiresome. It has little bearing on the real world I see around me, where most people are thinking all day about 99 problems and Bitcoin ain't one.

![It is me](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/1*xBh533R2Tp8MZzbVAoDLQQ.png)

Which is, of course, what the Bitcoin influencers would have you believe, is the reason that they're poor. What in the world could be more important, than thinking about Bitcoin? Why do these people not get with the program? Don't they know, that we are trying to save them?

![stop being poor](https://i.etsystatic.com/31473067/r/il/f019cc/5816289459/il_1588xN.5816289459_6efv.jpg)

Why are they worrying about OtherProblems? Don't they know that all OtherProblems can be fixed with Bitcoin? Really, if you just go back far enough, in any current, situational problem, you will discover that there was some slight, negative shift to the history record that involved soft money. It's the financial version of the Butterfly Effect.

![Bitcoin Effect](https://i.nostr.build/eo5CMa7hEvCUFvam.jpg)

That's why #BitcoinFixesThis. Bitcoin fixes everything, if you just think about it, for long enough.

The same way that we all actually come out of Africa, supposedly, if you go back enough generations. So, coming out of Africa, now, as a Real Life Person in The Present is supposed to have no significance. What does someone from Cameroon know about Africa, that someone from Alaska doesn't? Both people come out of Africa, if you just think about it, for long enough.

![older lady sipping](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cf/8e/13/cf8e139c7d615724a073616b358c9249.jpg)

And maybe that really is true. Maybe Bitcoin will eventually end all vice and crimes, save the planet, and we will all just hold hands and sing kumbaya all day, while waiting for the Singularity to upload us to Satoshi.

## Bitcoin envelope budgeting

Or maybe it's not. Maybe it's just a really hard, digital money that incentivizes savings, functions as a reliable measure, and makes micropayments possible on a global scale. Those really are things that will help the poors, including myself. I can see it, already, when trying to organize pre-paid meetups or figure out what to do with our household's meager savings, when the stock market is looking particularly bubblicious.

![Weimar laesst gruessen](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/22/14/fa/2214faad59e41b57f4352a4269ec6515.jpg)

But this is what I would consider Boring Bitcoin. Bitcoin home economics. Penny-pinching Bitcoin. Bitcoin for homemakers. How to use the Bitcoin envelope budgeting system to beat inflation by a margin of 13%.

The actual use of Bitcoin as money, rather than as a mere investment gamble or hype machine. That's the part of Bitcoin that nobody seems to really talk about because it's incredibly practical, dull, and useful, and it can only be tested by -- Oh, the horror! -- actually spending Bitcoin.

But... perhaps I will begin talking about it. Perhaps those of us, Bitcoiners, who are having fun staying poor, while stacking sats, should speak up a bit more. Perhaps the boring stuff is actually the interesting stuff. Perhaps there is more to say about Bitcoin, than can fit into a meme.

I have returned from Swannanoa. Probably won’t post much about it until I go back, which I will.

Be encouraged that most folks, (myself included) ignored the Fed and are still tending to family, friends, and neighbors.

My father-in-law just texted to let us know that power turned back on in east Asheville. No word on running water.

I am eternally grateful for the donations; they made a bad situation less bad, and helped me get that truck home. Thank you.

Headed home tomorrow.

Samaritan’s Purse might have saved my wife’s parent’s house. There has been a large and much appreciated government presence in the rescue and recovery efforts here, but local churches have led the way in keeping most folks alive.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts, and whatever help or funding you’ve provided. The work of rebuilding Swannanoa has only just begun, and I will be back with the truck, I just don’t know exactly when. https://image.nostr.build/1216e1409a11d024b33c3824395b4efb4fec041271cb73fadd87a520d5b77f99.jpg


45 confirmed dead in Swannanoa and Black Mountain. Spoke with a city employee who guesses that number will go up drastically.

Many bodies still in trees since the water rose more that 35ft.


My father in law says that there are two reservoirs upriver of Swannanoa. After two days of heavy rain saturated the ground nearby, they were simultaneously let out on Friday, causing a flash flood through the valley.

I don’t have much access to maps to explain this fully, but it seems that the flooding wasn’t just from the hurricane, but there were man-made factors involved. https://video.nostr.build/8e592e86e047d45a1e5eb45aee35dff26338f8c3b13a7431c779a9fdeee568e9.mp4

Last night, I received a call from a neighbor who discovered that the handle on her LoungeWagon had broken off just before she planned to leave for the beach. Not good. This seems like a well-designed product. It's a chair with wheels, but not a wheelchair. Right...? I would take it to the beach. Just be aware that certain parts of it may only be held together by a few tack welds, which may only possess the cumulative strength of a zip-tie.

Even worse, the tacks were on the top section and the side section. Why?

This tubing is very, very thin. At first, I thought I'd have to run the machine at 50 amps, but that turned out to be too cold. The only thing melting at that setting was the paint, which smelled GREAT. Settling at 75 amps, I noticed that I could move the puddle along nicely, but was still spending a little more time than I'd like.

If I were to do this again, I'd set the machine at 80 amps and move more quickly, inhaling less burning paint along the way.

I recently had a large tree removed. It was quite close to my house. When they removed it, I'm glad that the tree professionals did NOT go straight for the root immediately. Had they chosen that method, the tree would have fallen on my or a neighbor's house.

They carefully dismantled the tree branch by branch, lowering each to the ground. Then, they cut the trunk into large discs, and finally, they ground the stump to the rotten roots.

It's a true story, and also an allegory.

The best season I've ever achieved is when I used my cast iron to hold beef tallow beside the brisket on the smoker. I have no idea what was going on technically, but that took it from trashed to perfect with minimal effort. Mine wasn't very rusty, but I knocked as much as I could off beforehand.

It's actually very fiat, now that I think a little more.

Someone can (and should) only take a risk if there's an expectation of a reward, so only those on commission, ownership, or similar incentives can do that.

Telling the others do act entrepreneur-like is like telling them to eat rocks.


Every boss wants their W2 employees to be internally entrepreneurial as long as they do not become real entrepreneurs.

There. I said the quiet part out loud.


Thank you for the zaps, btw.


Yes indeed. This has been a PITA, honestly. I'm definitely going to spend the money on a real thermometer. https://m.primal.net/ISrq.jpg

Like everything, clarity of mind is key. Simple is good.


Classical music recording engineer here. Your podcast sounds great because you use good mic technique. Upgrading to an SM7B and an interface will probably yield diminished returns (unless you just enjoy it that much more) and add setup time.

If I were in your shoes, I would start looking into an interface when you would like to put some distance between you and your computer, as in a live sit-down talk. Grab some more cabling, and you may host as many people as you have channels and mics for. I recommend an interface that records to SD cards for field recordings - I hate dealing with computers in the field, but that's just me.

Hope that helps, and thanks for making another fucking Bitcoin podcast just for me.

Hey nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u , this may qualify as an obituary: "the fair value of Bitcoin is still zero."

I've already submitted it to 99bitcoins.com. Maybe it'll be the first of 2024?


I changed my default search browser to Searx. Trying to rely on search engines less, and type the exact URL to which I'd like to go.


Look this over, and think on how early is the hour. Here is this list of NYT headlines from November 10, 2021; the day of Bitcoin's last all-time-high price. Not one mention.

Henry Ford's idea of an "energy currency."

It's remarkable that a man who may have interacted directly with the "international bankers" who so profoundly destroyed Americans' wealth over the last hundred or so years reacted with a plan to obsolete them without recourse.

Also, he proposed printing money so that he could fund the construction of a sound money system. Interesting.

# Ford Would Replace Gold With Energy Currency and Stop Wars

### Declares if Government Will Give Him Muscle Shoals Plant He Can Demonstrate Success of Plan to Substitute Natural Wealth as Basis of World’s Money

**FLORENCE, Ala., Dec. 3** – Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison arrived here to-day to inspect the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant, which the Detroit automobile manufacturer proposes to take over from the government, and almost immediately Mr. Ford declared the purpose of his vast new project. It is not to make money, or, primarily, to stimulate the employment of a million men now idle, or to make the South and industrial center. His purpose, he said, is to end all wars forever.

Henry Ford, by building the world’s greatest power plant here on the Tennessee River, expects to eliminate gold as the basis of world wealth and substitute for it something different – the units of power. And by doing this, he said, war would cease, for gold is the cause of war. “It’s very simple when you analyze it,” said Mr. Ford, “the cause of all wars is gold. We shall demonstrate to the world two things, first, the practicability, second, the desirability of displacing gold as the basis of currency and substituting in its place the world’s imperishable natural wealth.

“Almost everybody in the world except the newspapers and the bankers recognizes that civilization has entered on a new era. The newspapers don’t see it and the international bankers don’t want to see it – it would mean changes in world finance and bankers always oppose changes.

“There is a group of international bankers who to-day control the bulk of the world’s gold supply. No matter to what country they as individuals claim allegiance, they all play the same game to keep the gold they have in their own hands and to get just as much more as possible.

“With the international bankers the fostering, starting and fighting of a war is nothing more nor less than creating an active market for money – a business transaction. If the different countries of the international groups are at war – that makes no difference. No matter who loses the war there have been a great many loans – the gold system always wins. The young men from eighteen to thirty fight the war and are maimed or killed, the internationalists are safe and prosperous.

“Ten years ago I said I intended to put every ounce of brains and energy in me to stopping war. I never meant anything more earnestly, and that’s why I want Muscle Shoals. I see a way which, if it can be done, will do more to end war than a thousand years of agitation.

“The essential evil of gold in its relation to war is the fact that it can be controlled. Break the control and you stop war. And the simple way to break the control of these international bankers, the way to end their exploitation of humanity forever, is to remove gold as a basis for the currency of the world.

“Army engineers say it will take $30,000,000 to complete the big dam. But Congress is economical just now and not in a mood to raise the money by taxation. The customary alternative is thirty-year bonds a 4 per cent. The United States, the greatest government in the world, wishing a pesky $30,000,000 to complete a great public benefit is forced to go to the money sellers.”

“But your plan would upset the money system of the world and might work incalculable harm,” it was remarked to Mr. Ford.

“Not necessarily; not at all. We need not abolish anything. We need not even abolish the gold standard. Simply forget that there is any such thing as a gold standard and whenever the government needs money for a great serviceable and profitable public improvement, instead of thinking of bonds with their heavy drag of interest charges, think of redeemable non-interest bearing currency.”

“But have you worked out a standard of value?” Mr. Ford was asked.

“Yes, we have. We will have that ready when Congress wishes to hear about this plan. The standard American dollar is approximately one-twentieth of an ounce of gold. Under the currency system the standard would be a certain amount of energy exerted for one ohour that would be equal to one dollar. It’s simply a case of thinking and calculating in terms different from those laid down to us by the international banking group to which we have grown so accustomed that we think there is no other desirable standard.”

“But how is all this going to stop war?”

### Predicts Amazing Success

“Simply because if tried here at Muscle Shoals this plan will prove so overwhelmingly and amazingly successful that the American people will never again consent to issuance of an interest-bearing bond for an internal improvement. When the government needs money it will raise it by issuing currency against its imperishable natural wealth. Other countries, seeing our success will do likewise. The function of the money seller will have disappeared.

“No matter what becomes of this suggestion I shall act so that no money speculator will make anything out of Muscle Shoals, even if I have to take up the whole bond issue myself.”
Mr. Ford’s plan includes completing the Muscle Shoals dam, in a sense, for nothing. Mr. Ford says the United States should issue currency to the amount of $30,000,000, and thereby pay for the dam, but he would make several marked changes between the Muscle Shoals currency and that which is ordinarily secured by gold held in the United States Treasury.

### New Unit of Value

First, Mr. Ford proposes that this currency be issued only to a certain definite amount and for a specific purpose – that is, the completion of Muscle Shoals.

Second, he proposes to back up the Muscle Shoals currency by an entirely new unit of value,. There is the best security in the world in this river, which is capable of furnishing a million horsepower, said Mr. Ford. It has been here for untold ages. “It will be here as long as there is rain and mountains to shed the rain into the river,” the Detroit millionaire continued. “This energy is productive of wealth and is imperishable. Now, which is the more secure, this power and its development or the few barrels of gold necessary to make the $30,000,000? This site, with its power possibilities, will last long after the Treasury Building is a mass of ruins.

“This is the security upon which I believe we can base the currency for Muscle Shoals.”

“What about the unit of values?” he was asked.

“That will be worked out when congress cares to hear about it,” he replied. “Under the energy currency system the standard would be a certain amount of energy for one our that would be equal to $1. It is simply a case of calculating in different terms from those laid down to us by international bankers.

“The only difference between this currency plan and the plan of issuing bonds to pay for the development here is that under my idea there will not need be any interest paid to the Wall Street money merchants who do nothing to build the dam. These men deserve nothing and under this plan will get nothing.

“Foreign countries ought not raise objection about accepting money based on Muscle Shoals, for Muscle Shoals is a national and not an international matter, and the money would only be for use at home.”

Mr. Ford’s ideas on the way Congress will look at his revolutionary proposal are strong and vigorous.

Running a lightning node has been pretty useless for me. I have one set up on my Umbrel machine, but haven't been able to use it outside of a few tests.

It does look like Umbrel or Start9 are the easiest operating systems which offer an easy LN node setup.


I haven't seen consistent results on failures like this. I've seen days, I've seen hours.

This is not the time to send a ~20sat /vB transaction though. Might have to up the fee or wait for the ordinals people to run out of money.


Hopefully the 20 million BTC users here in the US can make banning or confiscation politically unpalatable.


I recommend colocating if you can stomach the trust required. I do it with a local guy, whom I know personally.

Keep in mind that your energy price is the bitcoin price. Bitcoin is energy.

Mining is a great savings plan because the corn is fresh, and if your hashrate and electricity costs are relatively stable, then your reward can be volatile, hopefully to the upside.

It's bitcoin-cost-averaging, which is way more fun than dollar-cost averaging.

Since I recently learned about the DoD's sixth audit failure, I thought it timely to post Major General Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket" on habla.news. This is the work in which he famously calls to remove the profits of war. I don't agree with his methods, but I agree with the premise. I like to imagine that if he were alive today, he would recognize the tools we now have at hand, and encourage us to deploy them to this end.
