I'm saying the memes of what is going to this cycle are actually about what will happen next cycle. Those were both big memes during last cycle.


I'm hoping we dodge that one altogether. Fingers crossed.


Time to start thinking in terms of bitcoin instead of dollars.

Historically the #bitcoin meme hype has been 1 cycle early. Checking in on the hype from last cycle.

Institutions: check
Supercycle: TBD

Pretty accurate for so early on.

Any other big meme predictions I'm forgetting?


I like the way you think.


Il Capo started wavering today. That is a lot of money lost VS a simple DCA every day ignoring the price and news approach. 100% gains from bottom as of today.

Wage slavery is NOT freedom.

An hourly wage is a contract of indentured servitude.

In exchange for your time, you get paid.

Yes, it is an agreement by both parties.

But, you believe this is the only way.

You measure your time in dollars.

I measure mine in #Bitcoin

Every year you grind HARDER and HARDER.

All in an attempt to move up, get paid more and earn.

They tell you to work hard and you'll be rewarded.

But there's something you're missing.

You get a $1 raise every year. Maybe $2.

But REAL inflation is 10%.

You're going NOWHERE at this rate.

The company you work for has its profit margins squeezed tighter and tighter by poor monetary policy by the FED.

Your raises come less and less frequently.

The price of everything important is rising.

Food, shelter, vehicles, energy.

The only reason you stay is because you:

1. Have to feed your family
2. Have to pay your rent/mortgage/bills
3. Need to have health insurance
4. Don't know a better way to live
5. Don't have another skill set to survive.

Your health is declining as you work a sedentary job for a big corporate CEO.

He's cashing in millions of dollars a year while you slave away like an animal.

You're motivated, hardworking and determined, but you cut corners in your personal life to focus on work.

You tell yourself you 'don't have time to cook and you're too tired to go to the gym'.

You eat sugar for breakfast, take out for lunch and fast food for dinner on the way home.

You treat your body like a waste product.

40 years go by and you're morbidly obese, need knee and hip replacements, have low testosterone, haven't gone to the gym and you're closing in on 'retirement'.

You get sciatica from sitting all day and have had low back pain for years.

Do you have enough money to live 'comfortably' until you die?

You certainly can't work for another 20 years after the way you treated your body for the last 40. You can barely move without pain at this point.

Congratulations you've finally retired at 65!

You spent the last 50+ years chasing dollar signs in an attempt to improve your happiness while destroying your body in the process.

You can finally start siphoning money from your 401K, Roth IRA and social security.

You'll spend the next few years in health care facilities, physical therapy and the like.

You've been planning on traveling your whole life when you retire, but your body 'isn't what it used to be'.

Instead you retire to a modest home in a small town. One with low taxes and a reasonable HOA that takes care of everything for you.

You spend most of your time watching TV and going to doctor's offices.

You live the remainder of your days worried about rising costs:

1. Health care
2. HOA
3. Food and energy
4. Car insurance

I have seen all of this first hand.

I work as a health care professional.

It has led me to change my entire life.

This all stemmed from a deep desire to understand money which led me on a journey to #Bitcoin

A safe haven asset which secures your energy forever and protects and grows your efforts.

1. You cannot be debased
2. You cannot be devalued
3. You cannot be cheated

It's a system of truth, knowledge and hope.

You don't have to be a wage slave forever. You can break the cycle.

Its up to YOU to change your life or it will be too late.

Goodluck friends. 🧡

Thanks for reading! 🙏

The upcoming FinCEN rule proposal is much larger than being able to coinjoin or mix UTXOs. It essentially applies to opening Lightning channels and creating new and unique addresses for normal Bitcoin transactions. It's bad.

I know many bitcoiners oppose the ETF. When stuff like this happens I sure would like to have Blackrock knocking on their door pointing out this is impossible to comply with instead of a bunch of random plebs they were looking for an excuse to lock up anyway.


For me, greed feeds on uncertainty. The more uncertain the future feels the more I feel that I need. The more you have the more escape from trouble that you can buy. I don't think it is irrational to get stuck in that loop.

That said, most of the anxiety and uncertainty comes from living in future problems in my mind even though they aren't here today. Being more present allows me to disengage from that thought loop.

Once I'm not trapped in that loop, I can make more rational decisions. Should I be saving? Yes. Am I saving a good amount given income and expenses? Yes. Are my expenses kept reasonable and focused towards my long term goals? Yes. Am I making a reasonable effort to increase my income? Yes.

Once I know all of those are true, it is time to get back to the work and more importantly the fun of today and stop stressing about the future.

Now if you'll excuse me... Time to put away my phone and go play Legos with my kids.


I'm not a fan of commenting on the current thing but here we go:

I walked away from a job offer because sales made 5x more than the engineers. The company is struggling now.

"don't change horses mid stream"

Okay, except government is more like the scorpion and frog parable. See the population are the frog carrying the freeloading government scorpion on their back. Also the frog has somehow survived repeated stings already. It's health is failing now and it won't survive many more. Does the frog ditch the scorpion mid stream?


Imagine being so bad at finance that you can print money for free and steal from a population of 300 million people at will but you still ended up 33 trillion dollars in debt.


People who joined #bitcoin to get rich are allowed to be happy they got to overthrow the government along the way.

Conversion at all costs is for religions. People joining here understanding and getting on board with us being different is important.

Fiat currency has been used to fund far too much violence all over the world. Today wars, terrorism, bribery, and other crimes everywhere use fiat both as a primary funding source and an end goal.

Today I am calling for all non criminals to stop using the money of criminals. Stop supporting their system by participating in it. Question the motives and honesty of anyone who persists in using fiat. Starve the criminals of their livelihood.


Weird to see some #bitcoin people up in arms about another shitcoin rug pull. That is what they do. That is why we bitcoin only.

When bitcoin first lifted off the bear market bottom, the miner stocks outperformed bitcoin. The downside to that play is any money you put into it means you own less bitcoin for the duration of the trade. There is a difference between the real ownership of airgapped self custody validated by your own node and any paper asset like a stock. That difference has a value.


I checked around word is that amount is above the usual limit on rollbit and the math of the trade isn't right. Likely untrue.

I don't think it is good. That doesn't mean it won't happen and we shouldn't study to try to avoid it or figure out how to individually navigate it best.


Calls to split the empire, which Rome did. Constant wars causing the military budget to expand so much they were forced to debase the currency. Government corruption. Increasing influence of Christianity over the government. Uncontrolled immigration. Collapsing economic opportunity and erosion of the Middle class.

Many are repeating a narrative they don't understand and can't explain. That doesn't mean the parallels aren't there.


I was just thinking about this. Many older books are relevant but written in a way that is tough for modern readers. There is an industry around that. Marcus Aurelius is a tough read for modern readers, so we have Ryan Holiday. Machiavelli and Sun Tzu are tough, so we have Robert Greene.

I don't know of anyone offering the same service for ancient history. I bet they would use this public domain book as a source though...

Stealing this template to add to my latest meme crusade.


That M2 % change chart is interesting. Bitcoin is the less volatile asset compared to fiat, which is the opposite of the dominant narrative.

I also noted that it appears bitcoin is widening the spread with each cycle. Most of the increasing gap is coming from bitcoin dropping less than fiat.

That chart basically says we already have the monetary stability future we are predicting. The instability we are seeing is mostly because we are using a constantly changing ruler to measure.

TLDR; bitcoin doesn't get measured, bitcoin is the ruler. The future is now old man.

Now is a good time to take stock of your life.

If a faceless government bureaucrat with 30 seconds to deliberate is likely to think cannon fodder is the best way you can contribute to your countries WWIII efforts, you are running out of time to change that decision.


I remember getting stopped for something minor as a young man. I did it and we both knew it. I complied fully based on the moving infraction, license registration and such. Then they asked to search the car. I said I don't think you have any reason to search my car and I don't consent.

He was shocked I stood up for myself with the other infraction still undecided. He said he really wanted to see what was in the plastic bag on the passenger seat and that was why he wanted to search. My primary concern based on watching too many movies was that he wanted to plant something.

We agreed that I would slowly get the bag and show him what was in it, but he couldn't touch or search anything unless the contents of the bag warranted it.

I showed him that the bag was empty except for a CD new in the wrapper and the receipt. Then he let it go. I ended up with just a verbal warning for the original thing.

I don't remember what the CD was, glad it wasn't NWA.

That wasn't a pro bitcoin post, it was an anti government post. I wasn't around bitcoin in 2011 and I never listened to bitcointalks.

In your place I would fight for my home in any way I could. That doesn't change that who wins the war is a false dichotomy. You of all people are close enough to see that no one ever really wins. The only true winning path for anyone is to not have a war at all.


I don't know where you are from and it didn't influence my behavior. I only know that you called me stupid and I can't understand the sentence that explains why you think I'm stupid.

If you think I take special issue with the US government, guess again. I don't like any government. That should be pretty clear from my posting history. I see you say that your country is at war, my heart goes out to you. War is one of the reasons I oppose government. By definition, no government means no war. I don't think individuals could ever manage the scale of atrocity of war without the collective power of government.

Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…

Advice on orange pilling from Timothy Leary from before #bitcoin as invented.


Not even our collective visibility, just ours yours and mine individually. Many people knew about TV and warned against it regularly for decades before the internet got to regular people in the 90s.

Think for yourself. Question authority.

And

Turn on, tune in, drop out

From Timothy Leary come to mind.


Old farts murdering thousands to break up kingdoms that don't represent the sociology of the underlying population so they can reunite kingdoms from their childhood that didn't represent the sociology of the underlying population to improve their legacy.

Soft skills all the way. I suspect whoever came up with that term was a hard skill nerd. Look around, people are terrified of talking to strangers. Public speaking is beyond magic. Leadership and rhetoric are also gone. The next generation is going to be farther down that curve as technology becomes more pervasive.

Whenever someone complains that #bitcoin is too volatile, remind them that volatility is not a directional measure. Moves up add to volatility just as much as moves down.

Winning the lottery is a volatile change in your net worth, that is no reason to turn down a winning ticket. The direction of the volatility of bitcoin is very clear. Not buying because of the price volatility is like not accepting a winning lottery ticket because your bank account value will change too much.

Once you remember basic middle school math, you realize the volatility of bitcoin measured in fiat is the point of bitcoin.

I pick things up and put them down.

The joke for those who aren't American... There is a mega chain of gyms in America whose marketing revolves around being friendly to regular people. In one of their TV commercials there is a meathead getting a tour and "I pick things up and put them down" is his answer to every question. They are trying very hard to make him seem mentally handicapped. At the end of the commercial they kick him out for ruining their vibe.

The obvious outcome of this long running commercial was that "I pick things up and put them down" became a slogan/rallying cry for proud meatheads all over the country.


The lightning connector was a rejected USB C candidate design. It was rejected by the USB consortium because of the anti consumer design flaw that it fails in the device instead of the cable.

Apple adopted it after the rejection knowing that it was rejected and why.


Man he looks like a vogon.


Seriously, if you have an opsec reason to need a phone to not have any signal 100% for sure... Put it in a microwave.

Do not turn the microwave on. Just put it in there and close the door. Microwaves are common and readily accessible Faraday cages.

There are plenty of reasons to have a secret phone and plenty of reasons to want no one to ever hear it ring. Now you know one more tool to make that happen.


I'm confused that the alert on my phone said test. Have they still not noticed the very real emergency that is happening?


Today I would like to introduce a new term/label.

The term is “wedgie”.

Wedgie is a noun and can be used in a sentence such as “don’t be such a fucking wedgie” or “you’re such a stupid wedgie, you should be ashamed of yourself”.

Unlike its malpositioned undergarment cousin, a wedgie in this sense is someone who has fallen for one of the oldest political tricks in the book, the so called “wedge” issue.

These people feel super important and smart when discussing issues like democrat versus republican or the merits of gay marriage or things like trans people using the bathroom. They are fools because they are so easily distracted by trivial issues with no real bearing on their lives while politicians steal even more from their pockets and blatantly give it back to the elite who got them elected.

We see this plainly all the time now, most recently to the tune of $6T dollars, which we are all now paying back via inflation and higher interest rates.

While the politicians are ultimately to blame, the wedgies deserve our ire just as well, as instead of giving the middle finger to the criminal politicians, they remain content sucking on the tit of CNN or Fox News, and haplessly blathering on about what dumb fuck celebrity has a penis or not.

So yeah, thanks wedgies, you fucking stupid bunch of grade A moronic assholes. Keep that laser focus on what the orange dipshit or senile old bastard has for breakfast while the global elite pick your pockets yet again.

I did, you need perfect rolls on both die to win. 24 (-1 one for the modifier makes 23) is the only possible role higher than the challenge value. Unless you win the challenge on a tie, I never played much DND and don't remember. If you win on a tie, what a mess to calculate.


Conspiracy theories share a lot in common with the god of the gaps theory. God of the gaps says, this is unknown so it must be god and that is sufficient evidence for god existing. Conspiracy theories often say, I don't know this so I can put any explanation I want here without evidence.


Ah, so the dice do interact I probably should have seen that. In that case, you must roll a 1 in 20 and and a 1 in 4. 1/20 is .05, 1/4 is .25. .05*.25=.0125 or 1.25% chance of success.

Disgusting what has happened to Norse culture and history over the last 1000 years. What little bits survived willful destruction by the Christians, are now being stolen and misused as symbols of hate. Now their original meanings and historical significance are being lost forever.

How many of these hateful idiots do you think know that many of the bits of history they are misusing as symbols of hate are from the writings of a Muslim? A Muslim who was happily welcomed and treated as one of their own by the vikings on top of that. Why? Because hospitality and kindness to others was a central part of the real culture they are destroying.

For people of that heritage today, all that is safe to publicly admit to liking from their ancestry is beer and sausage.

Ironic that these people want to destroy other cultures and heritages, but they do the most damage to their own culture.


Unless there is an interaction between the dice I'm not seeing without thinking too hard... ~4.3%. 23 possible values rolled with 22 of them being a fail. 1 in 23 chance of success, 1/23 is .0435 after rounding. I think that is close enough for our purpose here.

Disagree completely. People have many facets and many keep large portions of who they are out of their online postings.

Do I believe you could recreate Bill Cypher, yeah pretty well. I have other aspects of who I am that I hint at at most using this Nym. I have ideas and beliefs I never post about publicly under any name.

Context creates the person. We are all always a self plus a social context. I can never be the same person to my wife and my best friend even if I tried. They each bring a unique context that creates a different me.

At best I can hope the best parts of me are what gets immortalized. The panopticon necessary to collect the whole self is far far away.

For people who make or buy #handmade things, there's a new player in town: artisans.coop

The marketplace is going to officially launch next month. As the URL implies, it's a cooperative. No big tech companies involved! It's a marketplace that is run by the artisans. We set the rules, not greedy tech companies.

For buyers: you support the sellers more and the platform less (and I think this is a good thing).

For sellers: no signup fees, no listing fees, no subscriptions, no dues, and you don't even need go be a member of the coop! There's just a commission fee when you sell things to fund operation of the servers, promoting the site so people will find out about your stuff, and so forth. If you are a member, you pay a lower fee.

So check them out either now or in a few weeks.

Introducing: https://exit.pub:

The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.

1. Download your twitter archive
2. If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr

✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009
✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies)

Your reputation is your true private key. Your reputation is what gives your #Nostr keys any value to others in the first place, not the other way around. Nobody follows you because they like your npub; they like you, and so they follow the npub you use. Protect your keys, of course, but it is very easy to generate a new key pair if your old one gets compromised. Be more concerned about your reputation and the value and quality of content you are providing to others. If someone switches to a new key, it will get shared around, and if you wanted to follow them before, you will want to follow them again. Rebuilding a lost follower list is a lot easier than rebuilding a lost reputation.

This is an excellent argument. The parallel to the tech industry really drives the point home in a way that is impossible to argue with while staying in the world of facts and reason.

Poor 2nd amendment, forgotten by democrats for so many years.


The entrenched mindset, the default position in American politics today is for government to "do something." This is the activist view of the state - held by both Democrats and Republicans -  that no area of human activity is not the state's business.

We can blame pandering politicians for this, we can blame the cronyist patronage system, we can blame mainstream media and government schools for this - and they are all to blame. But it doesn't change the fact: most Americans are now reflexively progressive, meaning they want government to do something, rather than reflexively libertarian.

There seems to be some confusion about doxxing on #nostr

Almost everyone here is using a pseudonym, so it is important to get this right. There is only one moral response.

If you see someone get doxxed, no you didn't.

Block and unfollow anyone who participates in spreading government names or other doxxing information without consent. You wouldn't want to zap a total asshole by accident.

Forget any information you see by chance.

Do not share any doxxing information.

If there is any question at all, assume that information was intended to remain private.

Zero thought given to internally consistent worldviews.

If you meditate regularly you can achieve a state where an itch is still there as a sensation but loses its meaning. In the same way I have lost frustration at the cognitive dissonance I see in the world. I'm now fascinated by how such contradictory ideas can be implanted in the same persons mind to coexist peacefully and even be used to defend each other.

I sometimes wonder if the media overlords are just pushing to see how stupid a set of beliefs they can implant.


4 issues I see off hand.

1. I agree with the article that this is bad business because you are chasing away potential customers.

2. This is another mechanism for mob rule. Popular does not always mean right.

3. Now you need a left, right, and center version of every company. That destroys economies of scale.

4. I think my biggest personal issue is this. If companies are taking a stand publicly and intentionally, then they force my hand to align for or against them. I want to just buy the product that catches my eye after researching the quality of the product. I don't want to also have to check on their politics before buying.


Someone needs to point out this is a terrible idea for any real amount for a very very long list of reasons.

I know I won't change your mind but I don't want a noob to see this idea go by unopposed.


I zapped it 420, how can I confirm the split worked?


Fascinating read. Got me thinking about the fact that most Americans don't align with either side. Should they ignore this entire trend or start a third economy of companies who aren't using their business as a platform for either side?

As both sides drive an everything is political worldview, would it even be possible to opt out? Will they pick so many points of contention it is impossible to avoid them all?

Swan's marketing DB has been hacked multiple times. For one I gave them a new email and shut off the leaked one. For the second I let it ride to see what I got. It was I think 2 emails in that entire time until the ripple news hit.

I should specify that this should not be possible based only on a fortress hack and purchase, but it is happening. Fortress was the bitcoin custodian, swan outsources email to a different company.

Or as I might say under this Nym..."fuck no I wouldn't job hunt using this nsec."


You'll often see charts or visuals illustrating the depreciation of the $USD over time, normalized to $1.00, of which I occasionally share myself.

However, there's an important caveat: these visuals rarely account for short-term yields. Displayed below is the purchasing power of $1, adjusting for annual CPI inflation (in red) versus the purchasing power of $1 accounting for 1-year Treasury yields less annual CPI inflation (in blue), starting from 1962

Notice anything?

The purchasing power of $1 from 1962 to the present equates to $1.85 when accounting for 1-year Treasury yields and inflation. Meanwhile, adjusting for inflation alone leaves you with just $0.10 of purchasing power.

Quite the massive difference.

However, there's more nuance to consider:

1) Let's separate the data into distinct eras,

From 1962 to start of 2009:
- Average annual inflation: 4.40%
- Average 1y yields: 6.22%
- Average difference: +1.82%
Real gains in purchasing power.

From 2009 to Present:
- Average annual inflation: 2.34%
- Average 1y yields: 1.00%
- Average difference: -1.34%
Real losses in purchasing power.

2) The data doesn't include the 1940s where financial repression massively devalued the USD to erode real debt burdens (the data I quickly threw together only went back to 1962) in the post war period.

3) Why 2009 for the change in eras? What has changed? If the U.S. can just pay a nominally higher yield than the inflation rate in perpetuity, are the fiat doomers really just delusional?

In my view:

- Positive real yields can be sustained with a clean balance sheet. It's feasible for the government to pay creditors a positive real interest rate when real debt burdens are low, demographics are booming, and the global GDP is exploding as the world industrializes.

- With Debt to GDP meaningfully > 100% and other tailwinds reversing, this is no longer the case. Post GFC and the introduction of ZIRP + QE to facilitate "growth", has the positive real yield era behind us, at least until real debt burdens have been eroded - which will take either explosive real growth, or a steady dose of inflation above yields, debasing creditors in the process.

The Bottom Line: The reality is that the average/median American individual or family often doesn't have much disposable income to capture such yields. The ones that do, benefit; and the ones that don't are the ones that pay for it.

When you look at charts showing record wealth disparity, or are wondering why the political landscape is more polarized than ever, keep this chart in mind.

Fiat inflation didn't bother the investor class from for forty years as yields outpaced inflation. Currency devaluation wasn't felt in the slightest by this cohort, they didn't just escape the devaluation, but outpaced it significantly.

Now, with Debt to GDP levels domestically and globally near record levels, expect the post 2009 dynamic to continue into the future on a longer time frame.  Don't let the current tightening cycle fool you as to what must occur.

Inflation > Yields, over a sustained period of time, is the only way global governments can mask their insolvency.

We have a new release out!

There's soooo much to cover with this release. Going to try to point out as many of the big details as I can while keeping this post brief-ish.

First thing: Please show our contributors some love AND demonstrate the power of Nostr and zap the crap out of this post. All zaps are forwarded to our development fund that goes to reward our contributors.

General note: Our release cadence tends to be less frequent than other tools -- this is a natural facet of our work as a volunteer project, and that we have a more technically conservative posture given the importance of what we're helping bitcoiners safeguard.

Headline feature: reproducible builds. Anyone in the world should be able to reproduce and validate that the software we're releasing is in line with what is in our relevant code repositories.

Big quality of life improvements:
. Power-to-Splash: ~12 seconds
. Vastly improved live camera preview
. Noticeably more responsive controls
. Brightness adjustment reminder
. MicroSD removal reminder

Something big for the Uncle Jim SeedSigner maxis out there: Formalized support for SettingsQR! Transform SeedSigner from a featureful, more technical device into a dead-simple signer for grandma, and then back again with a couple of non-private QR codes.

For devs and everyone else who is on-mission to preach and teach the SeedSigner gospel: Screenshot generator! Create pixel-perfect renderings of most UI screens for explainers, tutorials and even development use cases.

All of these updates have come from more contributors than we've had involved in any previous release.

If you are receiving value directly from SeedSigner; or if you simply understand the importance of a discreet, DIY, non-corporate, FOSS, cold storage signing tool for the global bitcoin ecosystem -- please make a donation to our development fund.

I will be digging into the above features and updates in the coming weeks to provide more detail on their value, but for now grab your signer and give 0.7.0 a try!

1 SeedSigner = ♾ Cosigners

Thank you everyone!

Release: https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner/releases/tag/0.7.0

@saifedean
Bitcoin, as it is, saved my family from hyperinflation in Lebanon. It is entirely essential to my life. It works perfectly fine for me as it is. It is not some "cool" piece of software whose next iterations I'm "excited" about. It is my lifeline. If it never ads a single capability, it will still be the most important technological innovation of my lifetime.

If you want to to introduce ANY changes to its software, I am going to be extremely skeptical about adopting them on my node. You're not just experimenting with adding features to another app on my phone; you're asking to rebuild my lifeboat with my family on it. I need to see extremely compelling evidence for why these changes are necessary, and extremely compelling explanations for why they do not pose any risks.

Like most bitcoiners, I have been harassed and hounded for years by BIP300's well-funded cringe marketing machine, but the more I look into it, the less convincing it is. Nothing in the motivation seems necessary or even useful. I simply don't care about "killing shitcoins" nor do I see any value from adding any of their features to bitcoin, since I know their features are just vaporware to promote ponzis. A significant number of plausible risks are waved away with cavalier indifference. It somehow fixes all problems and ends all trade-offs. And its promoters have more red flags than a Soviet parade: a history of questionable judgments on bitcoin issues; funding from shitcoiners responsible for the most serious attacks on bitcoin, like Garzik, Ver, and Brekken; the strong support of countless other shitcoiners; and worst of all, the resort to ridiculous fear tactics and the insistence that bitcoin is in a dangerous crisis which only BIP300 can fix.

Bitcoin is permissionless, so i cannot stop you from doing sidechains. Liquid, RSK, and RGB are doing something similar and I simply don't care. But if you need me to do anything with my node to accommodate you, the answer is going to be a very firm no.

I know everybody is dunking on the random governor who decided that she could just wave her hand and unilaterally suspend any right she dislikes simply by hissing the word "emergency," but the problem is that she's only wrong if another political force — the courts, politics, disobedience, or Locke's old Appeal to Heaven — proves her wrong. Enforcing the limits of official power isn't some American $currentYear problem, it's a recurring issue throughout history.

The question is why we're suddenly seeing the authoritarian instinct activating so much more openly — and frequently. In prior decades, they had to be cute in how they went about it, often requiring laws and lies. Now they're remarkably comfortable simply stating "because of the 'emergency,' you can no longer {travel | donate | engage in commerce | read | communicate | carry}," and that's the whole of it.

The next question is what you're going to do about it.

I don't think people should be locked in to shitty #propritary #IoT devices. I feel that people should have the option to choose #OpenSource #hardware and #software.

And I'm not just talking about it, I just my money where my mouth is! For example, tonight's project was to extend #FOSS that collects temperature, humidity and other environmantal sensor measurements to send the data to a server of your choice in a format that is easier to use.

https://github.com/Scrin/RuuviBridge/pull/13

Here's the kicker: I didn't even know the programming language it was written in before tonight. Still, I got it done. Now the consumers of this data do not require any parsing; they can juat use the measurements directly. It's tested and verified to work correctly. It's backward compatible. I have submitted my changes upstream.

When to comes to letting people do what they want with their #technology, and helping #decentralize things... I don't fuck around.

Oh, and the sensors that are used here, they're open source software AND HARDWARE. The collection takes place on a raspberry pi and go to HomeAssistant or whatever home automation software you want to use.

Boost this shit. Spread the word that you can still have nice things without centralized, corportate solutions like Google Nest and crap like it. We can have nice things and not pay with out privacy.

That news site where all the writers go by Tyler Durden did this using an automated tool that only copied their posts, so the feed was full of out of context replies.


The full article is pretty clear there are no options for new cars without spying. Gutting will give you a barrage of annoying alarms if things continue to work.

Keeping an old car on the road gets tough. Think simple and common as your best bet. 1/2 to pickups and camrys are probably good choices for Americans. People love their trucks so new parts manufacture continues longer than commodities cars like the camry.

I remember reading once about the idea of an "immortal car". They meant out of production but every single part was available new. I think the confirmed list was just the 57 Chevy and the highboy ford truck. 1st Gen Camaro were close but a few pieces weren't available. Those come with safety issues compared to new cars. Not a pleasant trade in the age of texting and driving.


That sounds about right.

Still, they record everything. If that includes sex they aren't going to delete it.

I don't object to a car having a black box and video. I think all of the data collected should stay on the vehicle unless there is a valid warrant in the case of that vehicle being in an accident. Only relevant information shared then. Only that specific drive and maybe even not all of that. (leaving a bar looks bad even if you only ate and drank water)

I also seem to recall tesla once pulled all the data from an accident without the owners permission then told law enforcement they couldn't have it but they would tell them if they found anything they needed to know about.


We may one day live in a world where we win on #bitcoin but haven't yet won the #privacy war. In that world, camera privacy policies will call out that they collect seed phrases that come into their view.

Of course you should know that they already do, policy or not.

They probably aren't targeting data about your sex life. They just collect so much data they have no idea what might be inferred so the lawyers covered everything in the policy.

Note that I don't think this makes it OK.


Another Bill Cypher vacation prep tip.

Like foraging or wayfinding, once you learn to pay attention to your surroundings there are many signs your vacation is approaching.

Here are a couple of other easy to spot signs to watch for.

Getting sick. If doesn't have to be a serious illness but it should be enough to slow you down while packing, like a cold.

Urgent, expensive, or time consuming home repairs. If you are on your roof patching shingles that blew off, you should have most of your packing done by now.

The toggles would be nice. Right now I find you need to keep context in a text file and copy it in repeatedly. Simple things like "you can ask me questions if necessary to improve your results" have to be added almost every prompt because it forgets.

Open source AI devs get on this please. Ideally the interface could automatically add context toggles you put in via chat.


Some days even screencaps leaking over to #nostr is too much X for one day. Today was one of those days.

Today I read someone make the following argument.

"bitcoin will need to lift the 21 million cap on order to survive long term and node runners can't stop miners from doing it"

That might be the perfect answer to "tell me you don't understand #bitcoin without telling me you don't understand bitcoin"


Fart.


No delivery either or the delivery drivers know what is up. I know for a fact moving a safe is a ton of work.


In 2017 the #bitcoin community entered a fuck around phase.

Check the charts for BSVBTC or BCHBTC to see how the find out phase went.

We appear to be entering another fuck around phase.

I bet I know what we find out this time.


Worth making a note for #bitcoin as well as guns. Here are my first thoughts about how this affects bitcoin security...

We can assume all other gun safe vendors have similar backdoors and would also comply.

Single sig in a commercial safe cannot be trusted.

Rogue employees are a risk even if you have no valid warrants.

Ultimately I think this only leaves multi-sig with some level of security through obscurity about where the keys physically are.

I think coldcard with a pin wins here if you insist on single sig. You can hide the metal seed backup in a secret location and hope the pin saves you
Ephemeral key systems like seedsigner mean keeping your seed handy in plain text, in that case safe entry means game over.

Passphrases can help too but must be secured in a place and way that safe access does not leak them. Also a place that would not be subject to the same warrant.

Anyone else have points to add?

Finally made my nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl for $60. All parts bought from separate offline sources. It perfectly fits my security model. #freedomtech

Bill Cypher pro tip of the day.

Don't waste time setting a calendar reminder to start packing for your trip. You'll know it is time when everything you order online gets delayed in shipping.


Invisible things still have sizes and I promise your balls aren't big enough for wifi waves to fit in them.

I would have preferred she just pretended it didn't exist in that world. There was no great reason for including that throwaway line.

Another #bitcoin #meme


I bookmarked it to adjust my own relays. Yet to take my own advice yet because I'm a slacker.

Maybe I should find out for myself before continuing to share. 🤡


Perfect.

Should we make March a Nostr only month? No Twitter. Nostr only. That gives you exactly one week to get your Twitter fix in.

Who's with me?


Neal Stephenson fan here. Books that don't double as a workout can be good too.
