 What an incredible week!

I feel so loved & appreciated amongst bitcoiners. I have immense respec... 
 Awesome to reconnect with you there!! 
 Happy halving day! #Bitcoin 
 I’m about to listen to this 👇 to get answers to the questions Nik Bhatia asked me about the technicals of cash flow movement in the #Bitcoin #ETFs during my chat with him the day before, but which I deferred for him to ask Alex Thorn in this podcast — Alex is the expert. Enjoy!

 Anyone want to guess where I am in this photo? (No cheating if you follow me on twitter or LinkedIn 😉) https://image.nostr.build/c223357089102b58ac765c5459ac8365ad31cc32d7bcc817ea5ee67a08657414.jpg  
 Anybody tracking user statistics on #Nostr? It’s still buggy, but I 🧡 it. Are its network effects still growing?🙏🤞 
 So true!! 
 Nope I didn’t know about the ATM. Thanks for sharing! There’s at least one #bitcoin ATM in Cheyenne too 
 IT BEGINS!!! The University of #Wyoming’s 100th Homecoming celebration kicked off a packed weekend of festivities with a “showdeo” rodeo last night. My big speech, “The Engineering of #Bitcoin, From Money-Over-Internet-Protocol to Texas Grid Stabilizer,” is today at the UW College of Engineering. I’ll post it after the weekend’s festivities. 🤠 #GoPokes https://image.nostr.build/cb4f56691835d4331dcae9d862548402a46147206ecdddb386b5ad198ac10ef0.jpg  
 GETTIN’ READY to give my first big speech in years about #Bitcoin tomorrow: “The Engineering of Bitcoin.” I’ll post a link! 
 GM nostriches!🗽 
 ATTENTION BITCOIN & ENERGY COMPANIES -- Lisa Hough has joined Custodia Bank, responsible for helping the U.S. #bitcoin and energy industries meet their banking and bitcoin custody needs. As an interruptible form of data processing that offers energy companies a new way to monetize every energy molecule, Lisa believes energy companies will ultimately incorporate bitcoin mining into their operations and, consequently, need bitcoin custody banks that are integrated with their banking and capital markets providers. Get in touch with Lisa at info@custodiabank.com! https://image.nostr.build/84bc448b5a641510c95ce1cb276b8cb4479d2377d9a8d5a52d11b5a62544bce9.jpg  
 GM, nostriches! 
 I’m too excited for this next cup of coffee 
 Me too! 
 GUESS WHO TAUGHT ME something new today: @LynAlden! I hadn’t thought of 👇 before but it’s logical that #Bitcoin will become more decentralized over time bc it keeps getting easier/more accessible to run a node (p339 of #BrokenMoney). I ❤️ reading engineers’ explanations of #bitcoin! https://image.nostr.build/024f0a63cd72f3796c45a796a294ffac1d69930b35a8822ebf37c507db219a4e.jpg  
 Yes but not expressed in the way @LynAlden expressed it—ie, that node requirements increase more slowly than advances in computer processing, storage & bandwidth. The big blockers didn’t express it in those specific terms during the block size war either—they expressed it in terms of network scalability/transaction throughput. I get your point though—the topics are related, but I hadn’t thought of it in the way that Lyn expressed it here. Thanks! 
 I AM SUPER PUMPED to share this news with all #nostriches here: the #Wyoming legislature today passed a bill prohibiting the compelled disclosure of private keys. It’s short but spectacular—read it below, and you’ll want to move to Wyoming or at least do your business here. This bill is a companion to the bill protecting code as speech, which Wyoming enacted 2 years ago with Christopher Allen’s help (so developers can’t be criminally charged in Wyoming for merely writing code, unless you use it to commit a crime). It’s my little part to help protect you devs when you what you do best. Thank you to all the devs who got us here, and will get us where we’re all going!! 🙏🙏❤️🤠
