 Did you hear the discussion on Fox business about bitcoin being a good secondary monetary network as competition for existing monetary networks with fiat?  The discussion was pro circular economy as another option outside of the U.S. dollar as a plan b against the Fed.  The people discussing did not really grasp everything but it’s interesting to hear such pro circular economy reasoning on major networks in a framework that was good for the dollar if it succeeded and even better if it fails🙂

Working on executive orders with DOGE to help special needs kids and Human Development Centers in Arkansas with matching funds for a new medical center in Conway estimated cost of 15 million.  NOSTR fundraising would match 7.5 million from the state and federal government while cleaning out the misspending and misinformation due to funding from those who should be advocates but instead turn into adversaries over the corruption of money.  

The new plan is for innovative digital technologies with fundraising like NOSTR fundraising to match federal and state participation so everyone wins and everyone benefits while we work on monetary corruption inside the federal government. 
 Tri tip and egg sandwich with sourdough bread unlike homemade sourdough from my brother Mike toasted butter down on wood stove.  The wood stove is awesome for cooking, making coffee, heating the house all at zero electric costs.  I think I can get a wood stove miner going too🙂 https://image.nostr.build/9d6887272118eea7471adcdf6b406ca263db49decb187e90a1dac4d262af7e1d.jpg  
 Getting ready to zap musicians at nostr village bitcoin park which was an excellent event in Nashville with great food, great music, great people, and an awesome after party on the balcony overlooking the city talking about Nostr and Bitcoin with ecash 

Does not get any finer.  Thank you to the people who put this together let me know who you are so I can zap you as well

Musicians ok for pictures and video to promote their work https://image.nostr.build/6a0dfa8b8c052e723327d2b864a4487d5f00fda4107ac682fce86ba7079df41d.jpg https://image.nostr.build/cbede674c621c5b3a3a5c94e331dcd1c50a71012836d31bcff7bb124a51bd87c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/17396c00490e83fefe98b65014d36f6d98c8e1b2dbc52c2b11e6f3db7995cbf3.jpg https://image.nostr.build/4366d1c5b840dec66d892b54a4344c38bb81ea498a1be95ec8bb188e0009e2c6.jpg  
 Working on NOSTR Fundraising which expands the ecosystem using a custom client designed with a number of what you might call customer loyalty concepts along with ecash strategies replacing miles, points, stars, and driving increased spending and frequency for merchants at zero cost while funding important community needs and special needs at the same time.  Working on a custom mobile concierge service through NOSTR for NOSTR members.  Looking for programmers let me know if anyone looking for work. 
 Looks awesome I am working on NOSTR fundraising with cashu ecash being used in innovative ways to create a circular customer loyalty protocol that utilizes all the benefits of NOSTR with a custom client I need built for the solution.  Let me know if you have any good programmers looking for work and keep up the great job of innovating and pushing forward🙂 
 WHAT ARE THE BEST BREAKING NEWS NPUBS ON NOSTR?

WE SHOULD HAVE BOTS THAT BREAK NEWS HERE AUTOMAT... 
 Hello Matt I am working on NOSTR fundraising looking to hire programmers let me know if you know of good people looking for work.  I need a custom client built and we are going to utilize ecash in strategic and innovative ways to generate greater value and to increase spending and frequency for merchants in the NOSTR ecosystem while reducing costs, eliminating discounting, and eliminating traditional advertising expense

I can send you or anyone some initial outlines and proposals describing the concept of the build Steve@smartcommunitytech.com

 Great job Tatum soon you will not be ordering pizza but getting the pizza free of charge through NOSTR fundraising. Only one thing better than ordering and buying a pizza through NOSTR is ordering and picking the pizza up free of charge while Sats are auto sent to special needs causes in your community🙂 
 @₿eth I think I sent $4 of Sats had to fix my settings 
 I just found out at age 66 why cast iron is so much better.  I asked two different millennials at WalMart and they did know either.  Maybe I am hanging around the wrong crowd but I bought this beautiful table top stove that uses induction cooking.  I had no idea what induction cooking was or even what I was buying.  I asked the two millennials and they said they never heard of induction cooking.  The stove never gets hot it uses magnetic energy to warm the pan so if you don’t have the right type of pan the stove does not work. I had no idea these things existed.  

That’s when I decided to read the directions 🙂.  Took me that long to read the whitepaper as well 🙂

None of the pans I had worked I kept getting an E1 error message on the stove, they were used to getting energy from anything like electric or gas but not magnetic.  

I have a beautiful cast iron wok I got from China with a custom wood cover and the directions said that cast iron could be used on this induction stove otherwise I had to go buy induction ready pans. 

I thought Sams club would have these induction ready pans but nothing at Sams club either.  None of the employees who were all millennials had any idea what I was talking about so I am going.  

All cast iron🙂

I have been playing around with cast iron and seeing superior qualities for cooking and once it was seasoned there seemed to be a ton of ways to cook and easy to clean with the pan getting better with every use. 

You can also use the pans as weapons or barbells try that with stainless steel pans🙂 
 We are witnessing the greatest capitulation about an asset or commodity in the history of money.  Bitcoin is finally breaking free from the scams and the pump and dump world of crypto.  People are starting to realize that bitcoin is not crypto and that it stands alone in many ways as a technology which humans have rarely been able to experience.  As the price goes up, as institutions start promoting education, as employees learn how to protect their hard work, and families learn how to protect their finances and pass it down to loved ones,  there will be an unprecedented wave of new interest in bitcoin the asset and Bitcoin the network, and as new networks and new layer 2 and layer 3 technologies are created on top of the asset.  
 
Education requests from every corner of the globe will pour in to a limited number of people who have put in the 1000 hours to learn bitcoin and are willing to help others realize what is at stake.  Many will start to have a desire to learn the deeper things of bitcoin, so they are not left behind.  Many others will realize that we don’t live forever and desire purpose and meaning in their lives which they want to pass down to their loved ones.  
 
Understanding bitcoin, understanding the technology of bitcoin, understanding the network of bitcoin, and having a deeper philosophical awareness of the problems bitcoin solves will slowly change the mindsets of people who want to participate in a movement to protect themselves and pass that down to the next generation.   
 
Bitcoin is not just an investment, not just another technology, and not just another thing to learn among many things.   
 
Bitcoin is hope to billions of people around the world.  Bitcoin helps people start to develop a life of caring for others, becoming a better person, and being more responsible.  Bitcoin can bring communities, people, and ideologies together in ways which are profound, while directing them to a never-ending educational pursuit which can transform them spiritually, philosophically, and economically.   
 
It’s time to rethink bitcoin 
 Good morning.  I am the sole parent caregiver of my severely autistic, non-verbal, non potty/trained 6ft 325 pound son.  We are writing a book entitled Special Needs Parents and Pandemics…What a father who was forced to become a mother learned when being left on an island during a pandemic.  

Michael Saylor first purchased bitcoin around August of 2020.  

March of 2020 was when the pandemic just started.  

My journey was a year prior and one of the things I studied while not being able to do anything and fortunate to survive is study bitcoin.  It took about a year before I realized the shams of alt coins like Ethereum and how they emerged as an alternative during the blocksize war.  

We founded several bitcoin only companies and are working on another currently while I get Gentry taken care of in an HDC.  


#introductions

We love to smoke meats for people in need and teach others how to learn, have hope, think apologetically, trust no man, and show others how to investigate things and try not to think with confirmation bias. https://image.nostr.build/a27b93faac4a9b9d85711f7c0def401d3522445238c02bb75b261cea62b2b013.jpg  
 Yesterday I found the first woman I have spoken too who had heard about NOSTR. I met her on the orange pill app and on top of this she owns bitcoin and keeps it in cold storage.  Holy smokes how many women or men do you meet that knows and does just the above.  If she says she is using multi-sig I would have to marry her🙂.  Seems like a good way to discuss things and maybe talk to a few people who are more like minded as we are.

Here is a recent article about one of the companies Jon and I are building. 
 When I first started my journey to bitcoin I thought

1.  Blockchain technology was the real pony in the race and not bitcoin. 

2.  I did not understand the technology of the chain or what connected the blocks, how they were connected and why they were connected. 

3.  I did not understand proof of work and why that mattered and how proof of work was set up and why. 

4.  I did not understand layer 1 and layer 2 I thought having a layer 2 technology was inferior to having everything on layer 1

5.  I had no clue about the blocksize war and what was going on behind the scenes from 2015-2017

6.  I thought cold storage was putting internet passwords into the freezer

In Paul’s famous letter to Corinth where he describes love he says the following 

When I was a child I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things

Most of us were children when we first investigated bitcoin but as we learn we need to put away childish things such as shit coins 

Why? 

Because love of others drives us to learn from our mistakes and put away childish things to better serve others in need 
 I know hindsight is 20/20, 

But I have this conversation so many times a day and it’s seems li... 
 Yes thank you Jeff for trying to explain to George Gammon that it’s really difficult for humans to think in terms of an iPhone when they don’t know anything other than land lines with rotary dials🙂.  Loved your point on the fact we have never seen faster, stronger, more secure technology lose out to slower, weaker, less secure technology which is also corrupt. Sure it will take some time but let’s not forget the iPhone was first released June 29, 2007 which is yesterday and look where it is today.  If bitcoin just sees similar network effects it might just surprise everyone how swift and powerful the bitcoin standard can be and it can operate on parallel rails for a while so the pain is not as severe.  Great job and both of you were polite and well informed.  My thought is that George bought more bitcoin after the debate and like Mary the mother of Jesus, he is pondering things in his heart. 
 Good morning fellow #nostriches! 
☀️🍂
Plans today? 
 Hey Beth how about greeting everyone with a smile and asking ‘do you mind if I send you $5 in bitcoin🙂.  Maybe you can film it and post the responses, they can be quite hilarious and thus the smile you were willing to give comes back to you 🙂.  Great job we really need more smiles nothing better than SATS and SMILES🙂.  Thank you Beth 
 Hey Beth do you mind if I send you $5 in bitcoin?  A smile from you is worth a lot of sats🙂 
 I keep getting a network error but I will keep trying.

 How about bootstrapping companies while being the sole parent caregiver of 325 pound severely autistic child who is dangerous when having meltdowns, non potty trained and requires 24-7 care all thru a pandemic🙂 

My son Jonathan loves your work, he is an incredible person as well.  

I was thinking about the blocksize war and what really holds bitcoin together to have an immutable core protocol while having BIPs at the same time is there are a lot of humans who have a spirit to fight for what is right, what is just, what is fair and equitable and things such as these.  

That same spirit will cause NOSTR to soar as well🙂

This suit was found in the United States when the battle between bitcoin and the dollar was solved peacefully without war.  This is why the suit is in perfect condition.  It was never used. 
 Chicken and pork flame kissed and flash smoked with chipotle raspberry and bourbon peach with a garlic and honey butter glaze.  We ask a question about bitcoin and/or NOSTR if someone gets the answer they can choose one as a prize.  The first question was what does NOSTR stand for.  Nobody answered correctly but they will know next time🙂 https://image.nostr.build/8a0d320568694d42730b61b468699dfc4cf622f46efa95fbd29462d74cd4d4fd.jpg

 Great post with deep truths but I think the world is slowly changing since it’s becoming more apparent that responsibility is required to protect our families and all of our hard work as well as care for others and show them that the pursuit of responsibility to care for others is the very reason we were created.
