Morning Seth


BOE is scared.


*changes default zap to 12


It is quite possible that the new financial elite of tomorrow is forming right now. The future is, of course, open, and we are still in a relatively innocent phase. Everyone is collecting and holding nicely. But at some point, the games will begin. 'How do I get my hands on other people's coins?'

Similar patterns to the gold rush are to be expected. First, everyone is mining and collecting, and here and there someone will be robbed of their gold. But everything is still relatively restrained; one can simply protect oneself.

But then politics begins. The politicization. Lobbies are being formed. For example, the MicroStrategy lobby, which wants to influence legislation to get hold of other people's coins. Some complicated, tricky games.

It will not make the world better immediately. I fear it will first make things really complicated. Human beings are human beings. Motives and behaviors do not change.


HAHA they're shifting so many coins onto the book to slow it down and they're just being chewed up as they come in. lot after lot is being chewed up.

Truth


For a long time, through many cycles, I positioned my asset allocation conservatively.  Of course, I had conviction but, my investment philosophy is such that I’d never make a bet which, upon losing, would force me to give up my seat at the table.

The question I’ve always asked myself is, “What if I’m wrong?”

I woke up this morning and asked myself a different question, “What if I’m right?”

BTCPAY 2.0 IS OUT!!! 🚀

https://blog.btcpayserver.org/btcpay-server-2-0/

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

BTCPay Server 2.0 realigns the internal architecture with the lessons we’ve learned since 2017, positioning us to better support both plugin developers and ourselves as we implement new features.

🌎New interface localization
🧭New sidebar-only navigation
📲New onboarding flow for new users and Point Of Sale
🏬Three new e-commerce integrations @Wix, @Odoo & @BigCommerce
🙌Checkout v2 default
🎨Branding enhancements

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

While it may not seem immediately obvious, we expect users to see the full potential of 2.0 in the upcoming months, as the ecosystem continues to thrive and build on top of it. With BTCPay Server 2.0, we’re introducing breaking changes in our API that allow us to eliminate the technical debt that has accumulated over the years.

Updating to BTCPay Server 2.0 is a one-way process with no option for rolling back. Because of that, we're making it opt-in, requiring that you SSH into your server and run:

git fetch
git checkout 2.0
btcpay-update.sh

Seamless integration into existing systems remains one of our top priorities, and we’re excited to introduce three new e-commerce integrations that expand the possibilities for merchants:

- Wix
- Odoo
- BigCommerce

If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you might notice that some are disabled after updates - we do that to prevent server crashes.

If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you may notice that some are disabled following updates - we do this to prevent server crashes. If you rely heavily on plugins for your BTCPay operations, we recommend that you double-check compatibility and look for announcements from plugin developers regarding their support for version 2.0 before proceeding with the upgrade.

 nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 has updated their plugin, so take a look at it how they did it as an example.

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

In the end 💚 Thanks to all that contributed

With 2.0 we wanted to do all the hard work, most of which may be invisible, but it sets a great base on what we’re aiming to do in 2025. Keep an eye on the upcoming minor releases that we’ll ship if we notice any bugs. In the next few big releases we’re hoping to ship some of the most requested features that further enhance our mission.

Super-special shout out goes to our community testers, who went beyond and above testing the 2.0: @cypherpunkstore  nostr:npub1qqqqqq9tkeunk6ma4zdlgt4euev7p5c64jdmp7354x0zdrns3ars20hrhr  nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2 @JoinStrainly.

We hope you enjoy what this update has to offer. As always, thank you to our invaluable contributors, who directly participated in making 2.0 possible:  nostr:npub14j7wc366rf8efqvnnm8m68pazy04kkj8fgu6uqumh3eqlhfst0kqrngtpf @dstrukt @jackstar0512  nostr:npub1y24gz5gwucl79vtv4ctwpysl0r5m4xyzu2rgulnr44ks3t5mt92q4nz2ad  nostr:npub1qm72nur0wn8cdgt0unp0amzssuqxg03tzpd4r87e856nxtz344fs6g74md  nostr:npub1zfytz6ktce3av2svlfpl0e79e44tnskxmvlpkcmc7q0xct3qa49swvm60l @nisaba  nostr:npub1za04drthlvxtwsq0phwc4mgh8rxhjafjkv2w7pf6ze5afka8gvaquadur3 @TChileta  nostr:npub1rj7eh0eu3skwcyr5adpcjwxft9z4yjdspjryq6gynqw2j49f9a3quqjpw2  nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg

Blast from the past


Retest before ATH?


I recently to learned that you can wire the DC output of a solar charge controller directly to the power lugs of a Bitcoin miner PSU.

The power from the solar panels goes directly to the hash boards and if there isn't enough power, the PSU makes up the difference with ac power from the grid. It turned the PSU into off grid solar grid tie hybrid power source.

All solar power is totally utilized, no loss. It's magical to watch the power draw from the PSU ebb and flow with the power output of the solar charge controller.

This is technique is going to change the game here at the homestead as it will allow me to continue to expand the solar power production without having to get a larger inverter to fully utilize it. I can tie the additional solar power directly to the miners, skipping the batteries and inverter all together. Looking forward to showing this technique in action.


All of this applies generally as Andrew says, and it also applies specifically to Bitcoin.

For generations the core beliefs and foundational narratives held by the fiat Central Bankers are collapsing like a deck of cards.

As their worldview and fraudulent financial system crumbles, they will fight desperately, becoming more and more aggressive and irrational, using lawfare against Bitcoin; and some of the companies that mediate it will voluntarily capitulate and obey out of fear or love of the legacy system, “because it's the best we have right now, and rapid change is dangerous”.

Trying to convince anti-Bitcoiners or engage in rational discourse is futile. Their entire lives have been based on deception, and watching their lies refuted in real time as the price of Bitcoin goes up and fiat evaporates is too much for their febrile minds to handle.

Imagine believing the lies of the Federal Reserve for decades, only to face this harsh reality suddenly, “I have been lied to all of my life. The money I sought, fought for and stored was a lie, and now I am worth literally nothing”.

This is the hard truth they’re facing.

It's far more comfortable for fiat heads, dollaristsas, Stablecoinists, incrementalistas and “Dollars on the Blockchain” infiltraitors to keep their heads in the sand, insulated in a lie bubble, lashing out at anyone trying to pull you out (Bitcoiners).

This is their current state of mind. They are like an injured rabid dog backed into a corner, snarling and foaming at the mouth. I would genuinely pity them if not for their active roles in destroying our country and people and their money, and fighting for the slave system.

They will continue to attack and insult and lie about Bitcoin and Bitcoiners, but it won't stop what's already unfolding and can't be contained.

Start by reviewing the pull requests of other contributors to be useful instantly and learn your way around the code base. Then find an open issues that's in your interest and skill range, propose a solution, incorporate feedback, and deliver a pull request.

People still ensconced in mainstream media are whining about the Washington Post doing something they don’t like. So they are gonna stomp their feet and cancel their subscription.

No one cares.

There is literally an off-ramp for journalists called nostr. You can do journalism and get paid for it on nostr. You can’t get cancelled, censored, or shadowbanned.

Don’t whine about the old system. Build something better. Build your own journalism. Your own audience that can’t be taken from you when Substack or Patreon or whomever changes the rules.

If you serve the public, they will pay you. If you serve your own interests, they will cut you off. No advertisers to tell you what you can and can’t say.

There's endless articles of corporate media over the last couple of years to navigate, generally covering the wording of all likely quick searches.

It was when I realized that I was selling my time, and if I didn't fix that I was going to have to sell my time for the rest of my life, I decided that I would rather sit naked on a rock outside because I understood that no money in the world was going to make me happy. I was already happy.

It was when I realized that the credit system offers a very particular game that we call finance that anyone with a sound mind can play and win, that I decided to play and win.

It was when I realized that I was the full owner of my time that I needed to study. I chose to study #Bitcoin and Austrian economics because someone told me to. I didn't stop reading until to this day, and I will keep reading.

It was when I realized that studying Bitcoin and Austrian economics provided the only realistic solutions to all our problems that I understood that I should tell others to do the same.


You don't need to liquidate until April 5th 🤙


Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) have been proposed as a way for governments to have more control and surveillance over financial transactions. The digital nature of CBDCs could allow authorities to track spending, restrict access, and monitor citizens' financial activities more closely than with traditional cash.

Opt out. Study #bitcoin 🧡 https://video.nostr.build/40ddc19a8f09f79661a5c5764e418496d0e23db67b777dfeb82542d5eca8da4a.mp4

Gm nostriches,

In the uk, doesn’t matter whether it’s labour or the tories, they both learnt economics from John Maynard Keynes, so we either have “borrow for better social care and benefits”, “borrow to stimulate growth” and “borrow because it’s an emergency”. Both increase the debt load, both promote inflation, both steal your wealth.

I don’t want to vote for either party, I want to vote for people who understand economics.

They are changing the rules, so they don’t have the break the rules….. I can’t even begin to comprehend the level of cognitive dissonance with these politicians.

I want the value of my time to have nothing to do with these thieves and these clowns 🤡 .

And once they do they, come October 30th, they will raid the time value to want to pass to your children and their children.

The current unfunded liabilities number is $159 trillion. Unfunded liabilities are the future obligations of the US government. The government has promised to pay these bills but they have not yet been billed (or funded.) The big share of these future obligations are Medicare and Social Security. (Both of which are hard debts that will grow at least as fast as the CPI, meaning they cannot be inflated away.) The governments promise is now impossible to keep. It's breaking now. Prepare accordingly.

They will try to convince you that holding a money that doesn’t steal from you is dangerous to society.


Smells like the state game plan is to tax bitcoin to oblivion, pushing holders to custodians that allow them to live off (fiat) yield. This allows the state to rehypothecate bitcoin and suppress its price. This is the best way to keep the fiat rich in power and happy and by extension the governments they control.

The only way around this is widespread education and adoption of self custody, but making that legal, easy and safe seems >10 years away, to be frank.

GM Lyn. Yes. Was Uptober ever in doubt?


In the bustling suburbs of Sydney, the median home price has reached a staggering $3.8 million. Yet, the mainstream media would have you believe that a mere $200,000 drop in price is a 'great time to buy' – if you can afford it, that is.

The truth is, this is all part of a carefully orchestrated scam perpetuated by the central banking system. As they continue to print money and lower interest rates, the value of FIAT currency is steadily eroded, driving up the nominal price of assets like real estate.

Just imagine – in just a few short years, that same $3.8 million home could skyrocket to $10 million. And when that happens, the media will once again hail it as a 'great time to buy,' completely oblivious to the insanity of this money printing frenzy.

This is the FIAT money scam in action. While Klaus’ wealthy elite maintain their grip on ever-appreciating assets, the average person is left struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living. It's time to pull back the curtain and expose the truth about this rigged system.

I’m not sure if Nostr is aware of what’s going on in the #WordPress community right now, but it’s headed toward a civil war and has effects that are rippling through the entire open source internet.

If someone is capable of developing a decentralized plugin repository built on Nostr, you’d have a million developers turning their heads to look this way. This is a much larger opportunity for nostr to attract talent than any possible exodus from Twitter.

As a Gen X-er one of my best life hacks was to stop watching TV.

While still living in Amsterdam around 10 years ago I Initially placed a large Budha statue in front of the TV to deter me from turning it on when I came home tired from work.
It helped as after a while I would not move the statue, but I would start to move myself. I started swimming three times a week, going out for after dinner bike rides to catch up with friends, going dancing and I also to started reading again.

I started to get more energy, and my sleep improved which resulted in me being more focused on the things that I wanted to create instead of being sucked in to another series or show.
After approximately a year I ended up giving my TV away and I have never looked back.

Nowadays the word TV can be replaced with social media. The platforms suck you in for more clicks, scrolling and time watching stuff you don't really want to consume. I have tried most of them, but I have also ditched them all, bar #nostr.

#Nostr is different. You are not the product, You create the product.

#nostr gives you your life back.

Keep zapping and being creative you beauties.

IMO,
every 500 years or so, something occurs which resets global power structures.

every 100 years or so, there is repeating topical timeline cycle which restarts.

every 70 years or so, political ideas recycle.

every 30 years or so, cultural ideas recycle

And every once in a great while, like every 2000 years or so, all these cycles reset at the same time.

which is, where i believe we are.

i have no proof, or reproducible evidence of this, and im just a dude who lives in a tiny house under an Alder tree forest. so discount at your leisure. but it seems about right to me.


Bluetooth headphones for the win?


Everything you could want to know about US duopoly politics can be found in the fact that nearly every presidential election ends up very close to the highly improbable perfect state of 50/50 red/blue.

It is obviously not a fact that exactly half the country feels exactly one way about everything and the other half feels the opposite way about all the same things.

The better explanation is that each duopoly party is constantly mutating itself to appeal to the most people it can. And they are both equally good at this zero-sum, solved game: so they *basically* tie every time.
(The more cynical reading is that they are a uniparty and the one thing both sides can't stand more than the other side winning is a non-uniparty option winning).

If two equally-competent computer programs played a simple game like tic-tac-toe, they would tie every time.
If the game was more complicated (or the difference in competence between the programs was wider), they would tie less often.

So: how simple is the game of "convince Americans to vote for your team"...? How similar are the teams...?

Picture this:
1. You type on Google "laptop won't turn on"
2. Google now knows you have a broken laptop and can estimate how desperate you are to fix it.
3. Because it knows how desperate you are, it can increase shop prices proportionally.

You are going to pay the maximum they get you to pay.

That's algorithmic pricing.

The more companies know about you, the more they can predict and sell how desperate you are to other stores out there.

An internet-connected car knows much more about you than you realize. A smart TV also knows what you like. Your Alexa knows if there is a problem in the home.

Privacy is much more than just sensitive data.

It's about not giving leverage away.

Because algorithms will use it against you.

On this day in 2008, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.

When I am asked why I am in Bitcoin I always answer, out of dignity.

It is a good time to explain how fractional reserve banking works and its ability to create money, not only the central bank can create money, there are different ways.

Fractional reserve banking is a system in which banks are only required to hold a fraction of their customers' deposits as reserves. This means that they can lend or invest the rest of the money deposited.

How does it work?

Initial deposit: A customer deposits $1000 with the bank.

Mandatory reserve: If the bank is required to keep only 1% of deposits, it will keep $10 as a reserve.

Loans: The bank can lend the remaining $990 to other customers.

Deposit and loan cycle: The borrowed $990 can be deposited in the same bank or in other banks, which in turn will keep 1% ($9.90) and lend the remainder ($980.10).

With an initial deposit of $1000 and a reserve ratio of 1%, the total money that can be created is $100000.

In January 2012 the ECB established that the reserves of European Banks should be 1% of their total deposits.

In March 2020 the FED established that the reserves of US banks should be 0% of their total deposits.

Yes, you read that right, 0%.

Do you understand why I am in Bitcoin? DIGNITY.

Being at a worker coop conference got me thinking about some big problems.

Why do companies (esp big tech) keep screwing over customers and employees? Because they need to grow every year?

Why do they need this infinite growth? At a minimum, to keep up with inflation. If they made the same amount of dollars next year, that less money in real terms.

Why don't we just get rid of inflation, which also drives a lot of the consumerism we see?

And there's the rub, in a single post.

Hint: it has to do with debt...


After screwing around on #Nostr for a bit, reading, researching a lurking why not make a formal #introductions (I only have a handful of followers right now).  Still trying to figure out the ins and outs here but happy to be early.

It's genuinely so much better content than X and other social accounts. X has more variety but more noise.

I've made my living starting or buying businesses and helping other businesses grow through marketing and #artificialintelligence

I stumbled into #AI and enjoy enabling others with consulting and projects but I have a love/hate relationship with it.  It's fun, but feels soul-less... so I try to put a little bit of mine into the projects I create.

As a former finance professional, I was a very late adopter to Bitcoin. Started dabbling in 2017 but then my friend Tai Zen was encouraging me to look into it in 2013 and I scoffed "that's never going to be money or a currency brah, because reasons"

But when he came back to me in 2020 and said it's game time I started to listen, read, watch and drink from the firehose.

My finance experience actually worked for me b/c I saw the bullshit happening and Bitcoin clicked a lot quicker.

Of course I was Bitcoin AND shit coin for the last bull market and learned a VERY hard lesson.  Ouch.  Sold the Shit, Kept the Bit...

And kept adding to it.

I'm constantly amazed at how addicted I am to Bitcoin news, narrative and nuance.  I'm all in, maxi style and you'd think I'd say "I know enough, next topic" but it's crazy how this doesn't get old and you keep finding nooks and crannies of info to devour.

I appreciate the hell out of every Bitcoiner out there who is creating great financial content to encourage no coiners and reinforce Bitcoiners.  Much love to you.

I just loaded my wallet and plan to try zapping a few people and get the most out of Nostr - but I'm still learning and would love any insights y'all have.

That's it for now.  I'll be back.

Dude nice hinge


So if a city was ALL privately owned, then ownership could decide individually, “Hey, I don’t want these drug addicted criminals living on my property. They’re banished.” And that could be easily enforced by private ownership. Which is very likely since these people are criminals living from theft and violence and providing no value to anyone.

But since municipalities actually own the ground, all of the pseudo-owners (renters from those with the monopoly on violence) can’t make those decisions for themselves. The drug addicted / criminal transient population can retreat to the “public” slices of land (streets and alleys and parks) and circumvent the enforcement of land “owners” (renters).

Violation of true ownership by the state and impeding the rights of owners to enforce rules on private property has created compounding problems that have spiraled violently out of control.

This is the tragedy of the municipality - an unenforced no man’s land that perverts incentives of private ownership.


What this needs is a nostrich to appear at the end wearing pixel glasses and gangster music, yes that's the one.

Aren’t watches shit coins??! 💩

Many of us never learned this in business school, but understanding the three primary functions of money is essential:

1. Medium of Exchange
2. Unit of Account
3. Store of Value

Focusing on the third function, the 'Store of Value,' is particularly important. Money should be able to be saved and retrieved later while maintaining its value over time, enabling its use in future transactions. This is one reason why gold has served as a form of money for over 5,000 years.
In contrast, fiat money struggles with this third function. The built-in inflation is not merely a flaw; it is a necessary aspect of its debt-based system. As a result, people find themselves working for money that does not effectively serve as a store of value, prompting them to seek alternatives.

When Nixon abandoned the #gold standard in 1971, we witnessed a massive surge in asset price inflation. This shift occurred because individuals were trying to protect their purchasing power—essentially their life energy—by investing in alternatives like stocks, real estate and surprisingly in watches.

Welcome back Bitcoiner. A lot has happened since you came here with the last flock of new users. Nostr clients have matured a lot and we have so many more people posting diverse content. Here are tips for you.

## Diversify your client use

It's fine to start with Primal but don't stop there. We have a gazillion different clients and they all need users. Do not stick with the first thing they give you. You are in control. Act on it. I for example love to use coracle.social or iris.to

## Follow many

Nostr clients don't shove content into your face. That means it requires a little more effort from you to curate your own experience. Follow more people than on Twitter. Also, use this as an opportunity to follow completely different people than you did before. I for example follow nostr:nprofile1qqsp4a2f2kfkh6qyl9gpqer75kk6t3mz0mwlqu6207qnhwswx8hdjcqpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchs8h80dn for rug inspirations.

## Run a relay

Are you a gangster who can step up and provide for his community or not? Are you a net consumer or a net producer? That's basically the question. Run relays, seed torrents, install nodes, set up mints, open PRs. Be a gangster.


Somehow in list form this is even more appalling.

ProtonMail using their ProtonWallet allows sending each other Bitcoin via email.
It's only a matter of time before all email providers require 1 Satoshi to send & receive email.

This will reduce email spam & scams by 99.9%
Very exciting.

At today's current rate 1 Satoshi = 0.0006USD

'The 'evolving' (shrinking) attention span of short form audiences (zoomers) is the priority.


The most important characteristic for a British business seeking to maximize its revenue is its level of compliance with the government. This includes: taxes, environmental regulations, HR practices, etc. Basically ESG + tax. I would even put compliance before competence. It is more important to do what the government says than to actually be good at what you get paid to do. This applies to all types of business. From plumbers and gardeners to law firms and investment banks. There is a word for this type of economic system but I cannot think of it rn 🤔

The complicated aspect about the Social Security system in the United States is that it was falsely marketed.

It's called an "entitlement" because people pay into it and are supposed to get it back like a pension, regardless of whether they are rich or poor when they retire. And so the Baby Boomer generation views any cuts to their social security as a rugpull, basically. It's not insurance or charity; it's an entitlement.

However, although it was marketed as like an entitlement/pension, that's not how the math worked out in practice. And it's because population growth is slowing. It was based on ponzi math, assuming that every generation will be bigger than the one that came before it. But the Baby Boomer generation was huge.

In addition, when Social Security was created, the retirement age was set near the average life expectancy. Many people would not live long enough to collect it, and most would collect it for a handful of years. Only a small minority of outliers would work for like 40 years and then live off social security for like 20+ years. But then over the decades, life expectancy increased by like 15 years, so the default assumption is indeed that someone can work for 40 years and then have 20+ years of retirement, even though the amount they pay into it doesn't really mathematically cover that. It's not designed for that en masse.

And so Baby Boomers had like a 3.5 worker-to-retiree ratio to support in their peak earnings years, while Millennials will have more like a 2.5 worker-to-retiree ratio or less to deal with. Which means they get a worse deal. Many Millennials don't even think they'll get it at all, despite paying into it.

That breaks up the social contract and sets up inter-generational political conflict. "Fourth Turning" stuff.

It's a big reason why "defined benefit" plans are inherently unstable; they rely on being able to predict the future.

And it's also a big reason why, when speaking about deficits, nothing stops this train.

NORWAY IS GOING TO BAN BITCOIN MINING WITHOUT PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS -
WE NEED TO ACT NOW

Norway's Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Administration responded to @ODFoundation that it "has no plans to conduct a public consultation" on a ban on cryptocurrency mining.

There is no doubt that the ban designed to target #Bitcoin mining. Unfortunately, that's a stance of the @Stortinget and the Norwegian government.
https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Innstillinger/Stortinget/2023-2024/inns-202324-383s?all=true#m2

🔴 Why we should protect our #freedomtech Bitcoin in #Norway NOW:

(1) Norway is fully integrated in the European Single Market throught the European Economic Area (EEA) and Schengen Agreement. It means Norway can provide its legilsative approach as an input for new legislation for the EU/EEA both:
- during the preparatory phase, when the @EU_Commission is developing proposals;
- during work of expert groups and committees of the European Commission;
- submitting proposals and comments to European Free Trade Association on upcoming legislation.

(2) As a co-founder of the @OECD , Norway sets an example of regulation worldwide and provides its legislative recommedations for global standards.

(3) Norway has historically been a place to meet, share experiences and educate human rights defenders and bitcoiners from around the world.

Norwegian goverment will present its investigation a ban on cryptocurrency mining by the end of 2024.

🔴 What we should do together to prevent Bitcoin mining ban:

(1) Repost this post and join our #BTC Coalition to educate local communities and media about social benefits of Bitcoin mining in Norway and worldwide;

(2) Help us pool resources and best practices to convince Norwegian politicians and media to explore the social benefits of Bitcoin to prevent this repressive regulation;

(3) If you are a Norwegian citizen: write a letter to your legislator and government asking for public consultation and providing arguments about the social benefits of Bitcoin mining for Norway.

$2T wiped out in an hour is wild. Would be kinda scary if Japan stops buying US’s debt (given it owns abt 15% of US treasury securities?) -  interest rates will shoot up, borrowing cost increases. financial market suffers. And if countries go to war right now, say Iran attacks Israel. US will struggle to fund the war as it can’t print money. And given China is the second largest debt owners and both China and Russia are pushing for Brics, the risk of demonetisation is high, risk of world war is high.

But likely the above won't happen.

In the short run there will be many stoppages. But in the long run it helps to understand why innovation is crucial for long-term economic productivity and resilience. It is not practical for a country to self sustain through military intervention to extract other country's resources (oil, opium). It backfires quite a bit in terms of debts and elite's control.

Excessive capitalism - i.e decisions of several elites in the 80s - both in the UK and the US led to much innovation and productivity leaving the country. Those that benefited from globalization established expensive cities and capital within the country,  whereas the rest of the country suffered - creating inequality and regional disparities.

There has to be some balance of economic policies in the world.  And if countries don't innovate, they will suffer and get left behind.

Linux users continue to be ignored by Proton, with the company opting instead to develop new AI features on Proton Mail that nobody needs, and a new Bitcoin Wallet that no one with 2 brain cells will use.

Why bother implementing end-to-end encryption across all Proton apps if the operating system they run on will screenshot the emails, calendar, files, browser history, and employ AI to snoop through everything, then send it to Big Brother's Microsoft/Apple servers? It's utterly absurd.

Linux should be the top priority for Proton.

Start putting a value on items you see in a store in terms of hours of your life it will take you to earn enough of your nation’s currency to purchase that item.

For example…Those $200 pair of shoes will take me 8 hours of my life that I can never get back to purchase. If the shoe enables you to work more efficiently subsequently enabling you to earn more, it could be worth the purchase. If the shoe cannot enhance your productivity, or efficiency you may choose to not purchase the shoe.

My son started a small business and now he values his time differently. I heard him tell his sister that he’s not spending his money on something she asked to him to buy because it will take him “X” amount of time to earn that money back. On his own my son made a choice about how much his time is worth and realized his time was worth more than a material item. His behavior (time preference) changed because of his experiences.

Give your children the necessary experiences to change their behavior. Whatever that means for you (not telling anyone how to parent). This must be an intentional effort on our part as parents.

Hope this inspires someone.

Guy Fawkes is Satoshi.


The UK, despite bizarre claims by the previous gov, are probably now under Labour, more hostile toward Bitcoin than the US Democrats.


Why, in my view, the real Bitcoin President is Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Comparing the two speeches, RFK Jr. Vs Trump, was Men Vs Boys.

I've posted a link to RFK Jr.'s speech below.
It's worthy of your time.

For those who know Bitcoin, RFK Jr. is to the political arena what Michael Saylor is to the corporate arena for Bitcoin.

RFK Jr. clearly understands Bitcoin, the Bitcoin community and its strategic importance.

For example, to grasp the work of Jason Lowry on 'Softwar' is a sign of someone who's put in the hours on his Bitcoin research.

By contrast, Trump gave a rambling, disjointed speech, of someone who'd recently picked up the brief and not understood it.

He made some good points in amongst his verbiage, which were poorly communicated and frankly lacked coherence.

He didn't even mention the one million Bitcoin Treasury, which would have brought the house down in Nashville?

Whoever prepared him should be fired, and Trump himself needs to take responsibility for thinking he could ramble on and still charm the Bitcoin audience.

RFK Jr. was punchy, concise and what he said fully deserved to be on the Bitcoin stage and was worthy of the audience's attention.

Kamala Harris didn't show up and rightly so, as I doubt she understands Bitcoin, and the record of the Democratic administration has demonstrated their lack of understanding and antagonism towards Bitcoin.

She has a short window to rapidly get up to speed with Bitcoin and make a difference, but I'm not holding my breath. I hope she proves me wrong.

The Trump administration will no doubt be good for Bitcoin, but the real Bitcoin President for me is Robert F Kennedy Jr.

#Bitcoin


People swooning over RFK's pledge to make the US Government horde Bitcoin are completely wrong to think it is a clever move. It isn't.

What it does is prove that RFK has been brainwashed into the Bitcoin Cult "Hodl" mindset, which is an unfortunate, but short term aberration.

What the correct policy is is that Uncle Sam should begin to take Bitcoin as a method of payment for all US Taxes.

By doing this, Uncle Sam will begin to build up a Fort Knox level hoard of Bitcoin, collected through the normal process of government, which everyone must accept.

The people saying that the US Government should have a strategic Bitcoin Reserve are making the claim that Uncle Sam should make a bet against the Federal Reserve. That's crazy.

Niy of course, Bitcoiners know that the Federal Reserve isn't Federal at all, and is a private consortium created to steal from the American people. But we're not talking about that today.

The correct strategy is to allow Americans to pay taxes in Bitcoin. To incentivise this, a 1% discount should be offered to all taxpayers paying in Bitcoin.

If this were the policy, Uncle Sam would very quickly develop a large hoard of Bitcoin, through the normal process of government.

If I was Rockstar I'd have 5 spoof Rockstar's mooching around Bitcoin 2024.


Yes. Waffle.


Whenever I open the #Nashville #Bitcoin 2024 stream there is some sort banker talking.
Disruptive technology, new assets class, potential of the blockchain... All that trifle from people who simply want to milk Bitcoin for it's novelty, creating a mysticism around it for their customers, then do what they always do and use THE CURRENT THING to suck up value from people they bamboozled. Not a single honest person on those stages and nobody gives a shit about Bitcoin for what it is: a tool to shutdown their fiat game money scam.

🚨WARNING🚨
More banks will block access to your funds and #Bitcoin as the corrupt fiat system teeters on its last legs. Those behind it are desperately trying to hold on, claiming Bitcoin is for criminals and that these measures are for your protection. It's all lies. We know who the real criminals are, and it's not you. Warn those you love. This is pure signal.


We're still in the early innings of the #Bitcoin  game.

Over the past decade engaging with this space,

I've learned that,

Bitcoin is a technology that allows you to project the power of your financial sovereignty infinitely across time and space.

You're forced to RECONSIDER your views on money over and over again.

Anything and everything in life,

you have ever wanted and will ever want,

is on the other side of better financial literacy aka bitcoin.

+

Get good at being boring.

Just like saving in Bitcoin,

working out every day,

studying every day,

"dieting" every day,

building every day,

In the weeds,

the "boring" stuff is where lies the success and the fulfillment in this thing called life.

Success in most endeavors isn't about discovering a single trick or secret unknown to others.

It's about consistently performing the boring, mundane tasks that everyone knows but is too unfocused or undisciplined to execute.

Them: Can't the Bitcoin code just be changed to make more Bitcoins?

Me: You mean like the 7 people on the Board at the Federal Reserve (which controls money supply and interest rates) have always done?

Yes, the #Bitcoin code can absolutely be changed, just like The Fed can change the money supply and interest rates.

The real difference between Bitcoin and The Fed is:

- If the Bitcoin code gets changed to increase the supply of Bitcoins, NONE of the 19,000+ decentralized nodes are forced to accept the new code. Everyone gets a vote and it's 100% opt-in.

- When The Fed makes changes to the money supply and interest rates, every citizen is FORCED to accept it. No vote and no opt-out.

GM - Nostr

what a time to be alive - living the biggest wind of change in the shortest time in history!

Money will change to a #bitcoin standard
Communication will change to a #nostr standard

Decentralization will empower the individual and hand over self-responsibility to the citizen

Governments will have to listen again or they will get defunded or just ignored - freedom will find it´s way.

We are 12 seconds after the decentralization BIG BANG. The next decades will change EVERYTHING!

Enjoy the ride!


For the past 20 years technology has trapped us online, in front of a screen.

It's time we start using technology to help us go offline, reconnect with the real world, and build local communities.

Has anyone thought about the marriage of WebRTC and Nostr?

If Nostr adds audio and video calling to its message and money transfer services then phone numbers are obsolete. Like a decentralized, open-sourced Whatsapp that can maintain anonymity.

From my limited understanding, WebRTC requires a "Signaling" server to manage the peer-to-peer connection.

Would this become a client-side integration?
A Data Vending Machine?
Or is there another way to do this entirely?


All my corns are 'tainted'. I've neved had issue with beaurocrat cornblockers and I transact daily.

Cornblockers iron their underpants.
Do you?


So I want to become more of a Nostr user. I'm a dev, programmer and coder.

What needs to be done here and how can I find out how to help?

BTCmap has absolutely nothing on it compared to how many people actually accept #Bitcoin do everyone a favor and go to BTCmap and add everything you can think of. ATMs. Stores.
Even a side hustle you’re willing to do for #BTC.


Happty birthday.


I live in California where there is an enthusiastic bitcoin community, but the only real use case right now is store of value, as there are almost no vendors accepting BTC in the area. I get sad every time I check @BTCMap.org and see how few places there are within 500 miles of me where I can spend my #bitcoin.

I think a major deterrent right now, is that for businesses who are incorporated in the state, there are a ton of questions about how it would work to accept btc, what the tax implications are, etc, and for most people running small businesses like a coffee shop, or restaurant, there are just psychological hurdles that require exactly the right conditions for someone to accept #btc, AND market the fact that they are accepting it in such a way that I can find it.

I think that #Nostr is the answer, and I want to start a discussion about how existing pieces of technology could implement a few small improvements to shift the paradigm in three meaningful ways:

1. Create more geographic search tools to connect with other #plebs IRL. Apps like Shopstr @calvadev and Plebeian Market @chiefmonkey have started working towards “eBay” replacements, but a simple geographic query tool could begin to replace marketplaces like Craigslist or OLX, which have large peer-to-peer sales volumes for small amounts. The small amounts and peer to peer nature of the transactions would be perfect for Nostr and would suddenly allow smaller players to populate services like @BTCMap.org with more data, thus increasing the value, driving more traffic, and increasing the usage of all vendors.

Imagine “Satoshi’s Garden” where people could sell fruit and veggies from their gardens IRL.

2. More integration between existing Nostr Apps. This is similar to the final part of point 1, but services like BTCMap, Flockstr, the marketplace apps, etc. need more integration both in terms of technical development and in terms of business development/marketing.

Imagine “Coffee Chain” - a peer-to-peer alternative to coffee shops, where I can offer to make you a cup of coffee in the morning. A bigger example would be something like Airbnb on Nostr, but again, the #cofffeechain idea plays to the strengths of nostr by focusing on micropayments that bring start at the grass roots level, and increase the offerings, driving more traffic.

Personally, I travel all over the world for work, and I would use this when I traveled to connect with plebs ahead of time and figure out where I could get a cup of coffee in the morning before work. I would also be pumped to make a cup of coffee for someone in #SantaBarbara.

All of this could be integrated into existing market places mentioned in point 1, BTC Map, and meetup services like Flockstr.

3. Integrate @BTCMap.org Data into existing navigation apps to create a more seamless way of navigating the world and utilizing Nostr micropayments #IRL. I don’t think it makes more sense for BTCMap to integrate better mapping services, because they need to be able to serve more detailed data for a wide range of use cases, so it seems like they should be the guardians of super high quality, open source data, while other more navigation specific apps like BitLocal need to be created to serve the need of the end users.

Nostr and bitcoin are built for a digital world, but the disconnect for a lot of us plebs is that the small payments that we make each day that Nostr is optimized for, are things that require geographic proximity.

BTCMap is always my go-to service when I’m visiting a new city, but to be honest, it is too diverse of a Swiss Army knife right now to be the ideal tool for what I want to use it for. I want a slick interface. I want to know when the last time a spot was verified - ideally by knowing when the last time a zap was made to a vendor. I want a map where I can search by corporate vendors vs. peer to peer services. I want a map where I can explore bitcoin vendors and generic vendors alike in the same map. I want a map where I can just navigate from my house to a park. Right now I just use Apple Maps or google maps for 99% of this, It just doesn’t include the bitcoin data that I would like to prioritize. If there was a product built on OSM that incorporated the BTCMap data, I would make the switch tomorrow.

4. Finally, we need more social integration on Nostr. A bunch of the services above don’t even have customer facing npubs… the marketing game is weak, and the more collaboration there is between these services in development, the more exciting news there will be to share.


Sure thing you gonna get constipation after saying that.


I am a father of 5 and wrote a fantasy bitcoin parable to begin teaching my children about fiat enslavement, bitcoin, and money. I genuinely believe that outside of my actual BTC stack, the greatest inheritance I will leave with my lineage is the knowledge and understanding of money.

I published this parable in a paperback and realized I had made a mistake. If I publish this book, it shouldn’t be through fiat channels. For better or worse, I’ve decided to publish this parable for free on Nostr. Nostr is a place that shares my values and is one of the most important projects in the world right now. I believe in this platform, and this is my small way of contributing—link to page 1 in the comments.

I’m working on a screenplay and novel of this tale, which will have plenty of interesting surprises not included in these notes, so there is much more to come.

My long-term vision is to write a whole collection of parables to preserve the truths of money through stories, the same way our ancestors did.

Fiat Delenda Est.

I stopped watching television. I stopped watching porn. I stopped believing in mainstream media or traditions. I stopped eating processed junk food. I stopped going to clubs or parties. I started questioning the lies of the society. I started searching for truth. I started working on myself. I started meditating & watching documentaries. I started going out in nature. I started realising my true nature. Don't follow the crowd, it's going in the wrong direction.

10 years ago today, the U.S. Government sold 29,656 #Bitcoin to Tim Draper for $640 each.

Theory:
1. Between 2009-2020 the elite in the USA hoped #bitcoin   wouldn’t catch on
2. But in the 2020 cycle they understood that it won’t die, and therefore they had to find a strategy to stack as much as possible on low prices
3. They chose to do a controlled demolition of The Dollar by printing it while stacking bitcoin in silence
4. They also implemented Futures ETFs to manipulate the price
5. They didn’t want to go all in at once because that would instantly kill the fiat system and make plebs insanely rich
6. They want to create FUD, print money and shake out as many plebs as possible on the way
7. China is now seeing the same as USA, but has implemented In-Kind ETFs, which will make it harder for USA Elite to manipulate the price with Futures ETFs.
8. Also large companies in the USA likely started buying BTC end of May because of the 90 day trading delay for new ETFs was over. In August large companies will file to SEC about how much they have bought. I believe Apple and all the big ones will report large #bitcoin  holding there
9. August 2024 could be the suddenly moment for #bitcoin  where China Elite and US Elite drive the price to infinite fiat and destroys the Fiat system on the way

I hate to be the pain in the ass who makes this pedantic point because I generally want the things being said here, but:
That IS a "cloud".

A network of remote devices, the vast majority of which are not yours, that provide compute and data for each other or for edge devices. That's a cloud.

The term "cloud" has unfortunately become synonymous with "centralized MEGACORP spying servers", but it could just as fairly be applied to a dark net of voluntary peer-to-peer nodes.
My point being: let's recapture the "cloud" and celebrate it, rather than tie our hands behind our backs trying to avoid "other people's computers". Relays are other people's computers. This is good.

American architecture used to be so intricately beautiful. #Bitcoin can bring back the freedom of expression and craftsmanship required for the level of innovation of early American architecture.

NOSTR ONLY


paying your taxes with #bitcoin is a bad idea


For example, we put in an OpenSats application over 7 months ago asking for resources to help with CSAM, building out a decentralized/Blossom type NIP, integration with Primal, searchable GIFs and images, etc. Have provided multiple plans with milestones.. They’ve asked us to reduce our scope a couple times and still haven’t given us any confirmation of support, and have been radio silent for months now.. All while the BTC price is exploding, and Jack is donating millions..
And we are providing the majority of hosting for nostr! Imagine a smaller or not so well known project.. Apparently you have to be part of the ‘in crowd’ to get any significant support from OS, FiatJaf, etc. Fishcake and I don’t have enough Twitter followers.. Isn’t there a meme for that? 🤷🏼

Gm #nostriches

Many of our naysayers think we are a cult and high on hopium - but the truth is that BTC is a movement born from an understanding of reality and a desire to learn.

Our "irrational" optimism is justified because of Bitcoin's unmatched strength and beauty as a modern day institution.

People have been repressed and demoralized to the point that the joy and passion of Bitcoiners is received like an extinct foreign language.

Our child-like optimism has to be rationalised away as a scam or something sinister.

But we know the truth, and it is our duty to tell everyone, for a better world.

The hard truth is that there is no incentive for people in power to inform you about money, bc if you're kept in the dark, it's easier to take advantage of you.

Study #Bitcoin yourself, bc you won't learn anything about it in the fiat-sponsored education system.
