 How tf am I supposed to work today? 
 Why do you still need to work? 😆 
 j/k
We should always be working, rich or not. 
 The normie texts have begun. Buckle up. 
 The operative word is ‘begun.’ 
 Everyone alive is a bitcoin OG if you think about it.

 is it a gender thing? 😹
I don’t think it’s a gender thing nostr:note1g8qcyz7s7765n0cxr6kt4... 
 You absolutely are right. 
 This is some of your best work Mads. 👍 
 I’m gonna ask my retired mom to replicate it. She loves this kind of thing. 
 should I join the zapstream tn y/n 
 Why not? 
 Is that not enough 😆 
 But on a serious note, don’t accumulate sleep debt. I regret doing that. 
 As I'm sure many of you are aware already, Israel executed an attack on thousands of Hezbollah me... 
 What is more impressive than the over supply chain attack is the utter stupidity of hezbollah. 

How the hell does an organization like that deploy thousands of copies of a device without a precautionary teardown and basic security checks? This kind of attack is not new. Google yahya ayyash. 

Regarding hardware signing devices, maybe we should separate the selection and storage of private keys, reducing the risk by orders of magnitude. 
 In the last 200 years, the average human brain has done 250 years worth of smartening up. 

Meanwhile influence technology has evolved something like 50,000 years equivalent of its historical rate. 

We are sitting ducks. 
 Discernment and humility. 

Half of the problem is our own fault, as Dunning & Kruger have shown. 
 I seem to now be on the Nostr. Thanks to Lyn and Eric.

Welcome Rudy! 
 Hi Nostr! Its been a while. 
 Welcome back Nitesh! 
 Platforms, not protocols: a VC approach to free speech 
 I’ve never forgotten this article from a professional society magazine.

 You do advocacy for personal freedom, and are on your own payroll. 
 A lot of Bitcoiner’s are addicted to their status as loser underdogs. 

We’re winning.

 Fair point, but the reality has fundamentally changed due to the technological breakthrough. No option but to get used to the new sound money faster than the speed of commerce. 
 I’ve enjoyed lots of listening to your podcast Peter. Thanks for the education and entertainment over the years. All the best for the new endeavors! 
 Taking one for the team eh? 😂

 Good podcast episode - view of dollar and wholesale vs. retail cbdc, from inside the belly of the fiat beast:

 Didn't login this entire weekend except for the test bot script going haywire posting for me here... 
 You missed a Biden sighting. 

Oh, and Trump survived by a few millimeters an assassination attempt. 
 Should the concept of follower be replaced with subscriber in Nostr? 
 I like “listener” 
 Bad understanding of Nostr to position as “social media.”

Being social-media-obsessed is leg... 
 “Re-imagining” is not the best term to use. “Uncensorable” or “sovereign” perhaps? 
 Nostr serves as the credible backup plan for when governments seize or ban X.

 Something I’m rather firm on is that if you have the ability to make children and you do not. Y... 
 The most epic way to fail in life is to not have kids when you have the ability to do so. 
 A 765 kV line can transmit more than 2200 MW of power up to 300 miles. These transmission lines are like the blood circulation system of a region. 
 But how many? 
 Haha. Normies think I feel bad when this happens. I just run out of fiat, that’s all. 
 We don’t live in the world we were born into. 
 Ohhhhhh… now I get it 😂 
 Everyone I want to stay away from is on Bluesky. 
 It’s big only in the minds of its insufferable user base.

 But Bluesky is so… fetch! 
 “A company can’t own the protocol, platform, and interface all in one. The protocol layer must be free.” - @jack nostr:note16gl4awd776v4xpqfhkcfspfnsuaaatel46az8xtnphdep036l2dqn70zgf 
 Stratum V2 decentralizes pool’s power to miners, makes the network much more censorship resistant. It does so by allowing miners to create block templates instead of centralized block template creation by pool admin. 
 Happy Thanksgiving! 
 Maybe the reason birthrates are going down is because people got less attractive. 
 Birth rates are about survival. Easier survival = less incentive to reproduce. 
 (And by implication less incentive to be attractive) 
 I hope people finally learned some lessons from FTX and SBF. Bitcoin only, don't chase yields, mo... 
 Unfortunately the fiat mindset is too ingrained. It’s gonna take a generation to learn these lessons. 
 LTS FTW ⚒️♥️🚀 nostr:note138nfrshnlsywxatcng4yt04uzr9c0le7rzl7j9v07rm4glt9qltqykqzsj 
 LTS is always the best version. 
 Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation.... 
 Savagely wise.  ⚡️ 
 The place we failed as Bitcoiners is merchant adoption. I cannot even describe how bad it is, I h... 
 We can’t significantly force a once-in-5000-years phenomenon. Necessity is the mother of adoption, and it is a function of the evolution of fiat. Things are heading in the right direction and they’re likely to accelerate in the not to far future 
 The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me ... 
 Necessity is the mother of adoption. It’s building up slowly, with punctuating jolts here and there.
