 He interrupts him on CNBC and his words don’t even make any sense. 

Should we just Buy Bitcoin?

 “Y’all want 5 free Bitcoins?”
500,000,000 sats from the faucet. 

Gavin Andresen’s website “Free Bitcoins” allowed contributors to send some of their mined Bitcoin to an address (15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC) from which website visitors could take 5 Bitcoin for free.

When the site was live, 1 BTC ranged from pennies to $5.

Why give away free Bitcoins?

“What's the catch? No catch-- I want Bitcoin to be successful, so I created this little service to give you a few coins to start with.”

 You’re seated on an airplane next to @saylor and you want to ask him a question he hasn’t heard a million times already…

What are you asking?

 The Secrets of the Federal Reserve:
secret meetings of international bankers at Jekyll Island, Georgia between 1907-1910, at which place the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was written. 

In this forthcoming series of posts, you will see the Rothschild connection, the London connection, the Hitler connection, the World War I connection, and more!

 Some say that if you pair this with Proof of Work, a fixed monetary supply, and a difficulty adjustment at regular intervals that it can be useful 🤷‍♂️ https://image.nostr.build/2d3a390e2c5ef65db9e57fc0f36e0b230c6d5411a656a72da3dbd34de1779ddb.jpg  
 THEY SAY
“BUY WHEN OTHERS ARE FEARFUL.”

WOULD YOU ALSO SAY
“BUY EXTREMELY WHEN OTHERS ARE EXTREMELY FEARFUL”? https://image.nostr.build/bfdcf7284cbbd3251d84eb9e9ad1e5d9a25b6d21263632290db114a7937080d8.jpg  
 Become humble. Stack sats. Then stay humble.

 Name a film you have seen >20 times 
 Apollo 13 
 Story. Love the Apollo era of NASA. 13 is a great survival story. 
 I’ve seen Apollo 13 and Signs >20 times. 
 I don’t celebrate Christmas, but “Elf” is amazing film too. Hilarious. 
 “Saving Private Ryan”

Private Ryan tells Captain Miller about the last time he was with his 3 brothers. This is a fantastic scene, and this is the only bonding moment these 2 main characters have. I think this is the moment that made Miller see who he came to save before he dies in the ensuing battle. https://video.nostr.build/c94cd40fbed4290e6188220a4817995422d5d62063afa008394a549d04528acb.mp4  
 Get over yourself, and welcome the new people to nostr. 

Seeing too much “nostr ageism” going on. 
 Nobody cares how long you’ve been on nostr 
 Welcome to nostr, if you’re new here. 

Hello, if you’re old here.

Nostr is for all of us, just like Bitcoin is for anyone who wants to use it.

Doesn’t matter when you started — it just matters that you’re on board. 

“The last ones will be first, and the first ones last.” https://image.nostr.build/33175bdef2688c38cbf135f13cd56c1ea7ac221bc58a0b98d3ba80b944fb87f7.gif

 I bought and own the audiobooks for THE BITCOIN STANDARD and THE FIAT STANDARD.

Does anyone have the link to the e-book file or pdf for these books that @saifedean is always encouraging us to pirate? 🏴‍☠️ https://image.nostr.build/6dd359056143b8b9de033d4075ce9b53e6cbacdf2808738f023d3edf0ed72f34.jpg

 Sorry mate! Yeah , I agree. I wish when you clicked zap you could slide to choose the amount each time. But I guess that would slow down the rate at which people zap ⚡️, which may be why they designed it the way they did.

 Awesome! 
 X PAYOUTS: I have bought btc sats for my cold storage stack with all my X payouts so far.

Going forward, I am going to start buying sats with them to use for Lightning ⚡️ payments and #nostr zaps ⚡️

Pay it forward. https://image.nostr.build/7a359366958847177be80691835b4fadfafc4572c40424ae237e5815b4877588.jpg  
 That’s my plan! 
 Take my zap ⚡️, no cap 🧢 
 No you! 
 Ah yeah. With the $4.99 you don’t get sats at the best rate though. 
 #bitcoin 
 People are wasting time talking about their X payouts, meanwhile I’m on nostr getting my post zapped 21 sats from the Turd Burglar. 

We are not the same. https://image.nostr.build/33e06195a881eda670bebf77a484357566171335d56e7dd039d6677b3b552f0a.jpg
