GM #NOSTR Fam 🫡

#Bitcoin broke 80k for the first time. Congrats to our baby corn for growing up so fast.

To celebrate, I’m ⚡zapping ⚡80 sats to the first 10 people that follow and share this 🤘🏼

I would have liked to have heard someone say "End the Fed" this election.


Good reason to go all in on bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/7c9b969a8c88073b5cb1674dae00b9e84e5c378cf83c1e01c94a35c773b9e6ce.jpg


As a Microsoft share holder I just voted to approve MSFT bitcoin purchasing.


Congrats this looks good! Important book.

I watched the bitcoin documentary on HBO last night. The production quality was good but I disagree with what they were pushing.


Got it thank you!

Thanks! Should work usually works.


I need to post on here more. I can't think of anything profound to say other than I like it better when the identity of Satoshi remains a mystery.


I used to live in Missouri  - St. Louis area like you. Happy times. I played on a baseball team that won a state championship.


Love it!


Woohoo


I use Amethyst and love it.

Wow outstanding are you former military?


Those are great numbers and time. I did  a sanctioned 5k yesterday for the first real event for me in a long time and recorded a personal best compared to my usual training times.


Wow me and my brother played "pirates" on our bunk beds too. True story.


This is great!


Also learned to hate the Fed and love Austrian economics. Every time I stack sats that's one less fiat dollar out of the government system.


I had a startup that predicted financial market moves based on government actions and regulations. The software began following bitcoin in 2013. But I didn't buy any. In 2021 we got a crypto client and really focused on bitcoin and I orange pilled myself. Stacked since then.

Well it's not totally bitcoin but Broken Money is my favorite.

Welcome. I suggest you to read the Bitcoin Standard.


I just re-examined Satoshi's white paper and he said the word "we" in the abstract. Does that mean anything? Is there more than one developer on a team or was that just an oversight on Satoshi's part?

Please write ✍ another book!


From Lyn Alden' s Broken Money: "As recently as 2010, U.S. Broad money supply was under $8.5 trillion. At the end of 2022, it was approximately $21.4 trillion." Inflation  anyone?

Thanks for all the zaps!


I love the Foundation books by Isaac Asimov, but the Apple+ series was disappointing. Too much time spent on romance and not enough sci-fi.


It was a great bitcoin meetup today in Washington, DC. We are going to change the world!


I set up my zap address so zap away!


Anybody see the speaker list for Bitcoin Nashville 2024? A lot of suits, Wall Street types, CEOs. I thought we would get some libertarian philosophy speakers. Robert Breedlove is speaking but that's about it on the liberty and freedom vibe. Disappointing.


Is this a serious paper?


I was there. Great job.

Well I like to think me.


Navalny used bitcoin.


Maybe Satoshi was a PhD professor who died.


According to Lyn Alden, in 1913 there was $199 per person in the U.S. monetary system. In 2022, there was over $64,800 per person in the system. There's your inflation.


Instagram has become fake and inauthentic. Everything posted is curated and done in a "perfect" way like everybody works for a digital marketing firm. I much prefer the authenticity of Nostr.

Federal Reserve Board of Governors hold 14 year terms. That's ridiculous. Time for shorter terms and term limits and more general transparency of the Fed.


There's a bitcoin mine in Texas that is causing a lot of noise pollution and is upsetting the locals. But don't let them use that as an excuse to change away from proof of work. We want decentralization and no government interference.


I've known you for many years.
Have I known you?
Yes I think so.
What is your name?
John Galt.

This has been an argument I've made too since I was born in Southern Illinois and have also lived in St. Louis.


Congrats to Bukele and El Salvador!


I'm sick of the media criticizing El Salvador.


Want another reason for bitcoin? Look up the Cyprus financial crisis of 2012-2013.


Why is Jamie Dimon always being quoted in the news? I'm so sick of that guy.


My 16 year old slept through dinner and will now eat cereal for supper. Sigh. Teenagers. Jeez. Now he will probably stay up too late and be tired again during the school day and repeat the process tomorrow.


Ayn Rand would have said, "Pay me in bitcoin!"

Every dollar I convert to Bitcoin is money that is taken out of the Federal Reserve system.


I explained to my wife how the Fed is responsible for interest rates. It made me mad and more determined to stack sats accordingly.


Check out Giga Energy startup.


Stranded or flared natural gas to power bitcoin miners. I'm totally into this.


Seize the Sats.


Orange Pill will also tell you where meetups are.


Are you on Orange Pill? Bitcoin social network. It geolocates bitcoiners near you.


Be cool. Be sat-worthy.


I just found out Google Podcasts is going away and will be transferred to YouTube Music. I transferred my subscriptions over and it was quick and easy. Let's see if the listening experience is the same.


My question is how should you pronounce it? I always thought it was hoehdl with a long o. But everyone says hawdl.


Is the halving already priced in for traders and investors?


I was never an audit the Fed or end the Fed kind of guy. But this period of high inflation and high interest rates dictated by a few  unelected financial technocrats has made me see the light.


I love that book. I'm going to read some parts more than once


A true lion never dies.


I like number one.


Great list. I was going to say Broken Money, but you have it. Nice job compiling.


GIGA Energy is the startup that is converting flared or stranded natural gas into cheap and plentiful electricity for bitcoin miners. They do it by placing shipping containers filled with natural gas generators and mining equipment near the drilling site. It helps reduce the environmental risks of flared gas and meets the energy needs for bitcoin mining.


Satoshi used "proof of work" several times in his abstract in the original white paper right at the top. Not "proof of stake." We have to stay true to Satoshi's original intent.


Guys we don't have to do proof of stake for addressing the energy consumption problem. You use stranded natural gas around the world with portable trailers filled with natural gas turbines and mining equipment. The electricity produced is cheap and plentiful. It solves the energy for mining problem so we don't have to do proof of stake to save on energy costs.


Hey bitcoin miners go to Midland-Odessa Texas and use flared natural gas for electricity generation. I'm from Texas and I can show you who's doing it.


I'm learning about Fedimint. Pretty cool.


I'm stealing this line from someone. I can't find who originally said it, but I will repeat it. Bitcoin ETF should stand for "Bitcoin End the Fed!"


I saw Cracker and Counting Crows there.


BTC: the Best Is Yet to Come and Won't It Be Fine. That's a lyric from Frank Sinatra who would have said pay me in bitcoin.


Asking for a friend: what's the best iOS client for Nostr? I want him to become a nostrich.


Good choices.


Broken Money by Lyn Alden.


Nice tick up for BTC to ring in New Year.


I'm fairly new and active.


The Federal Reserve Bank Board of Governors hold 14 year terms. Don't you think that is too long?

Every day I'm stacking it.


Thanks 😊 Kid!


Should I use Strike? I already have my system for bitcoin for the way I do business and don't want to change. I have heard good things about Strike but it also gets some bad reviews on Android.


Will transaction costs and congestion increase after the halving?


Thanks!


I got my first follower on nostr! Hopefully that shows I am not a bot.


Argentina takes a step closer to embracing Bitcoin.


I was educated in Keynesian economics or maybe brainwashed into it. I'm trying to break away into Austrian economics and away from the aggregate demand curve. But it is difficult to undue my earlier education in economics. I will try to read Ammous' Fiat Standard in 2024.


Another day more sats.


I'm reading all these articles about what is Nostr and I'm like we are nostr and it's a cool feeling of community.


I'm going to work on orange pilling them this holiday season.


When will Exodus wallet on Android get lightning?


They might buy the ETF.


I know it's not a big deal, but I actually took the photos on my profile.


Why did the markets tank today? Who cares? That's fiat money.


If you could pay for something in sats but it is more expensive than fiat, would you still pay in sats?


I just put the big cats on my profile. 😻 🐈


If you haven't checked out Roatan and Prospera in Honduras, you should. They are building a libertarian bitcoin city.
