Reasonable, however, perhaps not reasonable is the lack of accompanying graph from friarhass comparing bitcoin, gold, banking and military emissions!


Brain wallet example demonstations are fun to blow minds... How are you at memorizing? (probably with a passphrase, keeping backups elsewhere of course)

Of course, small amounts if you are directly entering into a hot wallet... If they are immediately hacked, then there is a bonus lesson for the person that their device is pwned--with accompanying lecture on how insecure electronic devices and networks remain :)


Weird tings happen at the intersection of trustless money and trustworthy(?) friends/family!

"The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar full of fifteen-hundred-year-old, two-hundred proof Grace–bottle after bottle of pure distilate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the Gospel–after all those centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your bootstraps–suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home before they started…Grace has to be drunk straight: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale; neither goodness, nor badness, nor the flowers that bloom in the spring of super spirituality could be allowed to enter into the case."

What is spam?

It may be difficult to approach a consensus on the definition of spam... However, hammer the obvious spam ruthlessly while keeping in mind that a course/code correction may be necessary later to ensure nostr is "a public square".... Think of it as a physical people: thinking, speaking and conversing ... The natural physical limits of human communication/interaction can surely be somehow defined and applied as some type of publicly-known standardized nostr spam filter? If breached, you npub is basically nuked and you have to start over??

Probably would be difficult to make the parameters simple but could make the spec quite wide to cut out the worst offenders...

Somewhat agree, but as you know, bitcoin can't be nuked... For instance, if a large country like Canada boarded the bitcoin train before it picks up speed, it would be difficult for even the US to suppress it (much like it not being a trivial task for Russia to bring Ukraine to capitulation--tho slight difference as there is a veiled nuclear threat towards Russia)

Haha, not as notorious as energy waste

 (doesn't Quebec hydro alone still dump more over generated energy than bitcoin consumes ... And, on top of that, they have moratoriums on bitcoin mining there... Clown world in action)


And yet, when caught with their pants down, they will cry, "its all bitcoins fault"... Will they attempt a fork at that point?!


But aren't they gradually replacing those IMF loans with bitcoin bonds


Sure, on the mainchain


El Salvador doesn't have their own local currency


Weren't they doing this to resist the debt enslavement of IMF/world bank?


Yep, I remember the 300kb blocksize proposal from long ago (in bitcoin terms)... It's a correct framing/rebuttal to most other change proposals?! Especially those other change proposals that are not patiently attempting to gain a broad consensus before implementation


The sustained criticism of bukele and el sal was a huge red flag, IMO


Any mention of Ukraine’s suspended elections, lack of free press, and conscription program in Oslo this year?


Watch this space ... For El Salvador 2.0 :)


Though, there seems a window whereby, due to great power competition, their will not be consensus on a complete, global internet control system


If I may add... "Cash on the internet" is laudably right in the white paper itself... The main impediment, IMO, remains TPowersTB that are determined to have complete identification, surveillance and control over the entire internet--first and foremost financial/transactional!


Nodes run the network... I appreciated bitcoin mechanics recent video where he laments that it is getting more to difficult to run a node (from the recent spam and utxo bloat)


Didn't saylor do exactly this with DID proposal? Stuffing more data into limited block space


Further to this, is the resistance to institutions like the IMF/world bank... Which I would find very difficult to believe is somehow only a LARP


For clarity, I was responding to this comment:
"I don't see how Bitcoin will set the vast majority of the world's population free"

I would somewhat agree with the statement ...

again, el sal is interesting case study... The pendulum has swung significantly there (from crime/homicide to stability) and it seems that bitcoin is only part of that swing


El sal is more of a top-down adoption ... I guess they will have a first-mover advantage but regardless, the whole country should benefit over time (even poor individuals who neglect to save/use bitcoin)


At least in SA, you can go to PnP and buy things you need (with a lightning wallet)


... I suppose for many it will depend on their government (and/or company) getting involved in bitcoin ... A la El Salvador


If the west is democratic, why won't they let their citizens reasonably use bitcoin yet? At the same, developing coercive digital id and cbdc that are gradually deployed?!


Will this make it easier for coin corner?

I suppose the isle of man had a friendlier stance?

Also, Luke gromen's distinction between treasuries and dollars seems useful (each can weaken on different time frames)

Thanks for the long form explanation!

And, yet, the bitcoin meteor is only just starting to flare at the outer edges of the atmosphere... How long before impact? Can the parasites nuke it before impact?!


So bitcoin is still a rounding error at this price... Like 0.2% of money


Why is oil (and other energy & commodities) dumped to the US ??  When the US literally has the central money printer?

This is the forbidden question in Canada...


Thanks for the clip... Not to get hysterical, but BC still won't rehire those health professionals who wouldn't bow down to Pfizer/moderna ... and a lot of nurses are female!

Bitcoin (and nostr?) made permissionlessness great again

Unfortunately, companies in the space are the obvious target to "turncoat" (personally, not a fan of coinkite terms... Haven't checked recently, but last time I did, there was AML terms in there)


Housing cult masquerading as a country... besides being captured by 'murica...

All it would take is Alberta (whether top down or bottom up) surfing the orange wave to really shake things up though!

PS with the US spr being drained down and a pending(?) Red/blue/state divorce , Alberta is very strategic


Lord, have mercy... But, it is comforting in a weird way, Christ's words are so trustworthy

On a related note, church and state relations, was also reminded recently, of Jesus' promise that, in the regeneration, his apostles would become the judges of the 12 tribes of Israel

When bitcoin is recognized as better savings than housing, it will get interesting (and then better) for the poor


Found an article of his from 2022 (during the Celsius) meltdown where he makes an interesting point about trusted vs trustlessness systems but it falls VERY flat in that he perpetuates the myth that bitcoin and crypto are basically the same thing... Besides a few other howlers in it (it did not age well)... confirmed snake??


Good convo!  Liquid s centralization could become a risk , if and when it actually had heavy usage (not least because of recent gov actions...)


The proverbial straw that broke the camels' back


The negative income tax comment was funny until he seriously called for the IRS to have more power

Also, he pokes fun at Trudeau and then seriously calls for identity verification

Some serious cognitive dissonance going on


Good thing satoshi is anon , he'd probably call for his head on a platter (despite his own calls for disruption, calling the decisons of 2008 and covid bad, and advice to young to drink and make bad decisions--which reminded me of the  "no jimmy!" meme where jimmy immediately takes money handed to him and feeds the bitcoin atm :)

In summary, so close, yet so far?


Such fun!! What did I do just now?!

Lots to ponder alright... that God warned of a black swan but nothing more ... that, presumably, not many  heeded and prepared likewise--or merely trusted the state ... One point that is not clear is what the original tax rate was before Joseph began collecting the 20% ...

Whenever politicians clutch pearls or attempt to brow beat bitcoiners about money laundering it is important to remind them that the US government is the biggest money launderer on the planet.

The Treasury issues debt out of thin air, the money gets handed to the Department of Defense and they overpay defense contractors 900x for commonplace nuts and bolts, among other things. This leads to obscene profits for the war industry and they shave off a small chunk of those profits to ensure the politicians that will vote for bigger defense budgets stay in power. Rinse and repeat.

This isn’t confined to the war industry either. It happens across the spectrum. Another example is Operation Warp Speed, which was an example of the Federal government directly funding and obscenely overpaying for a COVID vaccine that poisoned people.

What we’re witnessing is the largest “looting of the treasury” in human history. Politicians and the corporate interests that back them are robbing the American people blind. Taking their money directly via taxes, indirectly via inflation and at the same time running up the biggest government debt bill the world has ever seen.

The politicians who enable this and then clutch pearls about bitcoin’s potential to enable money laundering are the scum of the Earth.

We are all being robbed in broad daylight and the thieves are making you out to be the criminal. Truly diabolical

The government is not your friend. It exist to strip you of your wealth and your freedom.

Just follow this video: https://cdn.satellite.earth/2bd7e308c1797d64fca09b1d61e9bde24c68dd45e501c7383eff1e85392df11f.mp4

"Screaming satoshis" is now your punk name, ghost


Is this "eternal September"??


Meme-ing-lessness


Thanks again!

However, could a covenant "bake in" high future data use of a utxo ... Or "bake it in" for only certain uses of a utxo (I.e. for vendor/government lock-in)...


I can see the push for data density as you state... Could it be used in the opposite way though?? Like what we saw with ordinals?


Some would say, miners would suffer, but the supply shock would likely proceed quite quickly then and any suffering would be heavily recompensed thereafter


Thanks, useful to consider, the attacks will continue so


The fork that I want is to decrease the drumbeat of new coins (there is nothing perfect about the number 21 million) ... would be a genuine curveball to bankster-ism ... but it won't happen


I would go further than "bad adopters" ... Anyway, like others said, the persuasion is poor ... Specifically, does CTV or other option allow coins to be encumbered by adversaries of bitcoin ? I.e. creating a wedge to force digital identity into bitcoin use , non-fungibility, etc

The bar for significant change is very high at this juncture (crack up of incumbent systems and "proposal" of new systems at global levels)


I remember your man on livera a long time ago and the height of his argument pro-CTV was to benefit coinbase ... Made me a pretty hard no myself ... CTV does nothing to prevent all the digital identity prisons being erected, no?  That is a way bigger issue IMO... in terms of maintaining the p2p electronic cash vision of bitcoin

Well done sirs


Indeed, with a sly bitcoin logo in the o, or however you see fit, if you like the idea :)


wondering if I can suggest a new sticker??

"Nerds with words, oh no!"

Could put the scream emoticon for the o in oh and the b logo in the o in no!


Since the US has its own money printer, they're going to make the victims whole, right? Right??


We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust. We started with the usual framework of coins made from digital signatures, which provides strong control of ownership, but is incomplete without a way to prevent double-spending. To solve this, we proposed a peer-to-peer network using proof-of-work to record a public history of transactions that quickly becomes computationally impractical for an attacker to change if honest nodes control a majority of CPU power.


Bitcoins workability/success despite the insecure devices and networks is quite astounding

It certainly does take individual dedication to learn and practice--to not get too rekt while adopting


Bitcoin adoption wave in America will be a tsunami wave when it becomes crystal clear that the incumbent financial system has been verging on the claim that it imputes righteousness (I.e. it is a direct affront to Christ and his claims)


What's the meme when you throw in criminal lagarde 's latest announcement??

Is it the Simpsons bidding circle surrounding the animal knife fight?
Bitcoiners on the outside, with X and the EU knife fighting?


Its even more than treason, they are on the literal "highway to hell"... Those leading the charge and those directing from the rear


By TPTB own legal definitions even?

Because bitcoin is the legal tender of el Salvador...


This note will age well, however, its difficult to remain sly/unknown as one scales mining


Btc market is still way too small relative to all markets


I find it hard to believe in "creating wealth" at this point because the pricing signal is so broken, it justs sounds like "printing money" to me, hence I brought up mining for sats which is provable work (rather than the epidemic of rent-seeking behavior AKA slavery)


Mining bitcoin is waaaaaay more competitive than just buying it at this point


If spending #Bitcoin that you've held for several years incurs a capital gain, shouldn't spending $USD that you've held for almost any length of time create a capital loss? 🤔

😉


This note aged like mead... Super fast!!

Canadian "tar" sands (and other "cheap" commodities from the north)


I agree that bitcoin is money but most of the world and its regulators do not

I wonder how the church will define bitcoin...


141 and 142 seem in contradiction WRT to bitcoin :
"Engrossing" bitcoin to enhance the price doesn't harm anyone and even
"further[s] the wealth and outward estate of others, as well as our own"


Not sure how/why the sacrifices described in Ezekiel 45 are NOT superseded by Christ's sacrifice once for all though..


Thanks for the link!

Also, reflecting on the symbolism of a "thousand years" as a "full" human life (echoes of those in early genesis who lived almost a thousand years)


Interesting, hadn't thought about the thousand years in that way (I.e. symbolic) but makes some sense...

The latter chapters of Ezekiel are quite interesting in that they remain unfulfilled and are quite specific...

(I love 45:9-12)


Yes, hopefully we can transition without too much social strife!


Pick n pay in South Africa uses "crytpoconverted" which seems pretty tightly integrated at the till

By using different combos, you build understanding and the proficiency to not be locked into any hardware or software, if the need arises


Jade also does air gap


Important conversations, however, loathe to discuss specific personal details:

Don't trust, verify is great advice because bitcoin is so verifiable

Lots of testing of combos of hardware and software can be employed and compared, prioritize testing of backups as nvk implores

Sadly, the IT/gov industrial complex has made computing/networks so insecure... So education, practice and vigilance are key


The Fiat Playbook:

1) ‚Fix’ human rights in developing countries that are rich in natural resources through "political intervention".

2) Install a new Western-friendly dictator and lend trillions of dollars with high interest payments (also owed in USD) to build infrastructure. Not schools or hospitals, but mining facilities.

3) Use the mining facilities to extract the natural resources and export them cheaply to developed countries.

4) When the debt burden can no longer be paid due to the high interest payments, the IMF and World Bank come and "help" with even more debt and interest payments including currency devaluations.

4) Extract more natural resources cheaply.

5) Rinse and repeat.


Oooh, that may be the slogan for the older cohort:

Don't grumble, stack sats 😄

"Let there be a chain of pseudonymous transactions secured by energy, computation and predetermined monetary policy"

-Satoshi


Bill Gates purchased shares in BioNTech (Pfizer’s partner for its mRNA Covid shots) in September 2019… just months before the pandemic was announced…

Gates purchased 1,038,674 shares at pre-public offering price of $18.10 per share…

Gates dumped his stocks, in November 2021 at an average sale price of $300 per share…

Gates on the same day said… “We need a new way of doing the vaccines, because the vaccines *didn’t stop transmission*”… despite all of his previous claims to the contrary.

It’s almost like Gates knew Covid-19 was going to be released, and he also knew the vaccines were never designed to stop transmission.


"Let there be light" is not a problem unless light does not appear when one proclaims it

Fiat has certainly become a dirty word and perhaps less useful then at describing/explaining/educating WRT bitcoin

Certainly, the fact that Satoshi remains unknown is an extremely interesting twist on fiat... Unlike all the well-known bankers with their "great" proclamations

Put it this way, being a tiny little family with little physical protection from violence in all its potential forms, I am content to continue on with bitcoin without taking your direction to trade any for gold/silver/etc


A big reason why we are in the mess we are in!!

Do you sincerely agree with "the disciples stole his body" story then?

But are you persecuting ??😅


Thanks for this!


Ser, the resurrection of Jesus is indeed a radical claim... I'm gonna go with those who maintained it happened (at great cost) versus those who persecuted them--call that "propaganda brainwashing", if you will


That's what I heard elsewhere too... Why was this not anticipated??


Romans 1:1


Its funny, cause christian bitcoiner is soooo niche (though some can be noisy)


Speaking of global scale engineering, what do you make of the claim that the 2020 lower sulfur marine fuel regulations are exacerbating weather?


The stitch up, take down and distraction continues. Russell Brand is the current one, how about we open Epstein’s black book. No thought not 🤷♂


Guess we may need to start pitching bitcoin as a central bank then 😂


As you say, central banking is the commanlity/crux


I would also look at the other side of this:

Why are the likes of Blair, Schwab, Gates, etc, etc, not hiding in some hole in the ground at this point?


Yes, its amazing how an interesting idea can flourish without an ego baked in... The prevailing(?) culture of tying ideas to an individual can be quite counter-productive?

Satoshi being a prominent example

If you're passing through interior BC sometime , I'll trade you honey for sats (good shelf life 😄)


Or you could try scaring the boomer by saying bitcoin price appreciation has likely been suppressed so when the launch happens it could suddenly demonetize housing 😁


Can also find common ground (in a lot of countries) that bitcoin has the potential to gradually de-monetize housing... Just maybe don't tell a boomer that 😁


Milei sounds like a new imperialist in that clip


The difficulty is that those "categories"/words are so old, tired and useless... Crony capitalism has been proven pretty damaging

I prefer:

#MakeImperialismSmallAgain


"Teach" 😅😬


Generally avoided debt earlier in my life but not great at saving much, when I finally understood bitcoin was an effective savings tool, I "sold my chair" to stack more 😅


I know mining is a super competitive business but if they would have the courage to throw a curveball at the market and voluntarily offer a fork with a curtailed block reward schedule, it could quite possibly induce price hyperbitcoinization at this juncture (and they would shortly recoup any losses, and then some)


Plus, the incentives of bitcoin could even potentially decentralize chip r&d and production as it becomes a "national security" issue to participate in the network

And, yes, I have met people from many countries, and I can also read (and discern?) books

#MakeImperialismSmallAgain


To be balanced, crazy stories of violence towards individuals in most/all? Communist regimes!


Don't necessarily disagree with you stacksats... Its just that I find "capitalism" and " communism " such tired, old words that aren't very useful anymore


I mean how many WMDs does a country need... Speaking of capital misallocation


Violence exists though, Americans excel it! ☺


What I always liked about twitter was that it was never one place. You had all these sub-communities, yes, but the open nature of it allowed for wild interactions and the breaking of bubbles.


Money and violence are best buds... No point in pretending that capitalism solves this

Bitcoin may mitigate this association for a period of time though

Not unexpected with the recent tax incentives, still concerning, does this mean bitcoin is a defacto worldwide currency now :)


Talking Bitcoin, Nostr and growing both:

- Morning Meetup over coffees
- Happy hour cocktails

All paid for with bitcoin (Lightning)

... and I'm in Vancouver, not Bitcoin Beach, Lake, Jungle or Island 😁

I'm thinking we're going to need a nickname soon for Vancity.  There are about 40 merchants now accepting bitcoin payments.

The Vancouver bitcoin community is strong and growing quickly. I'm thinking we should hold a monthly online virtual hangout where we share ideas, tips, hits and misses with all the other builders in Central America, USA and Canada (time zones considered). As Fall approaches, we can roll up our sleeves, support one another and take merchant adoption to the next level.

Maybe a bounty for whichever region onboards and sustains the most merchants.  I'm liking Vancity's chances but would never bet against the Farmer's Market in Uvita, El Zonte or the Golden zone of Panajachel.

Spoke with my 87 year old mum last night and she said it was sad to see so much more anger in the World. She misses the simpler times where people were much kinder to each other.  And she said it sadly feels like a cyclical thing where a terrible event is likely that brings back  people to basics.

I really love and embrace the nature of async communication and a way of life in general.

Today, nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f  announced the thing I was working on for a while (nostrdesign.org). This initiative was made possible only because of them and everyone who contributes to the nostr fund. I also want to thank nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc  and nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk  for their assistance! But while this was happening, I was at the beach with my family, enjoying our weekend.

In a corporate world that stresses so much the importance of clear communication and perfect timing this would have been a total disaster. But here, people have long time preference for all sorts of things including their lives. We value freedom, autonomy, you know… LIVING. After all, what is the point of any of this if not to make our lives better somehow?

To me, this was authentic, human, and even funny. It shows that we can all come together in a single place while living totally different lives in different parts of the world. It shows that we are human and can forget about time zone differences - and that is totally fine.

Coincidentally, it gives me many reasons to talk about #nostrdesign and is a great way to raise awareness (perhaps too much 😂). What can I say… marketing! 😈

Yo, you do know it's a very different game when the rink size is larger?!


Ah... Go on


This is something I've been seeing for a while and it's inch by inch happening to all the major platforms and websites.  The walls are coming up all across the internet and everyone is turning their open spaces into silos.

While this is an infuriating development, a key based social protocol and a push based global payment network fueling an open source, collaborative ecosystem has a *massive* natural advantage in an environment that is increasingly closed and permissioned.

We (#Bitcoin, #nostr, #lightning, #holepunch, etc) may only be 1% of 1% of a corner of the internet, but the pressures that will prove the value of our model are getting greater every day.

Keep building and stay the course.

This really is the worst. Instagram started the trend with their hideous "log in or else" flow. Then Twitter and reddit went to insanely privacy-hostile API changes instead of simply requiring a proof of work or anon payment. Even some major nostr relays seem to be doing Tor blocking now (damus? Not sure, but I get a ton of errors connecting to certain relays via Tor.)

Platforms have become so fearful of bots/spam/scraping (or rather pretend to be fearful, so as to justify blatantly commercial and anti-social decision-making) that they've totally destroyed the open access model that a functioning freenet depends on.

This is the main reason I want to see "unowned" protocols succeed. Jack has it right: we're at a turning point.

"Illegitimate" ?? This sounds like fiat thinking friend... I.e. so many fiat systems are on the cusp of claiming that they will impute righteousness to those who use them (bitcoin may not be perfect but it doesn't suffer from this disease presently)

It an honest ledger that can't be changed (even by "powerful" empires--who can only manipulate the "price" in the short term)
