The only thing you really need to own is your money.  Other forms of property are very hard to defend and keep.  While I support owning things you need for life (home, car, business) I don't get too caught up in those as they can be taken away by force anytime.


It sounds great in the short term (no responsibility) but then you realize it will never end.

Ironically they don't care if they get their money back or the thing that went wrong is made right, they just don't want to admit to making a mistake.

Governments will get their hands on a lot of bitcoin, most likely purchased from the names above and others.

I appreciate nostr:npub13l3lyslfzyscrqg8saw4r09y70702s6r025hz52sajqrvdvf88zskh8xc2 point on this that governments don't save, they spend.  If the private market demands bitcoin for payment rather than dollars, they will have no choice but to spend the bitcoin back into the economy, decentralizing it even further.

Hodl your own corn, but also reject dirty fiat as payment for your time and energy.


It's hard not to laugh all the way away from the bank.


without inflation you can't have mortgages, and mortgages are the backbone of the fiat banking credit expansion, that's also why the saying "safe as houses" - because it's the banksters cash cow, so you fight inflation with property ownership - and tax benefits as well, like deferring any tax obligations until the property actually is sold

so the answer is - under a bitcoin standard there is not any such thing as a mortgage anymore, and the price of property will fall into line with the productive capacity of the land and its number of competing buyers and its other subjective properties


Joy and purpose are not mutually exclusive.


Don't mind if I do 🤗

Bitcoin will be used by everyone eventually, which is why it's more important than ever to think critically and independently.

Many different and varying groups of people will want to use bitcoin, and while everything is good for bitcoin, everything isn't good for everyone.

I hold personal convictions that I think align with the reasons Bitcoin was created (freedom from theft and discrimination, self-sovereignty )

But just because I hold these beliefs as a bitcoiner, doesn't mean everyone who supports bitcoin will.

💯 this!  One thing I keep in mind is "when bitcoin sets you free what will you do?"  It keeps you thinking what do you want out of life, what do you want your legacy to be.  When you focus on the goal then you think less about the tools to get you there. nostr:note1qewc5daer4enzzq630e3us0tjczdax8cnw90m9dw0hak2mwxx69sn9zjzr

Beautifully written.  To me a broken heart is an unmet expectation.  It's something you hoped to receive but didn't.  However if you never expect to receive, but to give, then you can somewhat protect yourself from disappointment.

When I was new to bitcoin the first thing I would tell people was that it's a store of value.  But the longer I'm here the more it felt like a sales pitch.  I just tell people now it's a tool for freedom and if they're not interested then it is what is.

Fiat was a technology of money that couldn't be ignored.  I often thought "how could people surrender their gold in 1933". But the answer is we can't resist something that is easier, even if we know it will harm us.

In this same regard a lot of people knew trusting Google, Apple, FB, etc with control of the internet was a bad idea, but once again we can't resist what is easy.

Bitcoin, nostr, and all freedom tech to me represent alternatives.  We are going to use money, email, social media, and AI, but what it comes down to is which versions are we going to use?

Ones that harm us or ones that empower us.

This is awesome!


Over the last few months it feels the bitcoin community has gotten more and more jaded on lightning. To be honest, this is for good reason, back in 2017 we were promised a decentralized payment network that would always have cheap payments and everyone would be able to run their own node. Nowadays, the average lightning user actually isn't using lightning, they are just using a custodial wallet and the few of that do run lightning nodes often find it a burdensome task. For us at Mutiny Wallet, we are trying to make this better by creating a lightweight self-custodial wallet and in my opinion we have been executing on that dream fairly well. In this post, I'll analyze these issues and present a new way to view lightning and what that means for bitcoin going forward.

First and foremost one of the hardest UX challenges of lightning is channel liquidity. No other payment system has these problems today besides lightning so this often confuses lots of users. To make matters worse, there aren't any practical hacks that we can do to get around this. Muun Wallet used an on-chain wallet + submarine swaps to get around the channel liquidity problem, this worked very well until fees went up and everyone realized it wasn't actually a lightning wallet. The better solution is JIT liquidity like we do in Mutiny or splicing like that is done in Phoenix. These solutions abstract some of it away but not enough, we often get support questions confused on why some payments have fees and others do not. The fact is channel liquidity is not a usable UX for most end users.

The other major pain point of lightning is the offline receive problem. Inherently, you must be online with your private keys to sign and claim a payment. There is technically an ongoing spec proposal to be able to work around this (essentially creating a notification system of when people are online to receive payments), but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem and still has limitations. There has been a few attempts to get around this, most notably was Zeus Pay lightning addresses. These essentially worked by just creating stuck payments and waited for the user to come online to claim, this caused a ton of problems for people and even forced us at Mutiny to block users from paying them because it caused so many force closures. This is a hard problem because the entire rest of the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem works by just copy-paste an address and you can send to it whenever, there isn't caveats around asking your friend to open their wallet. This is further exacerbated by things like lightning address that requires a webserver to even get an invoice in the first place.

Channel liquidity and offline receives in my opinion are the two most obvious reasons why self-custodial lightning is not popular. When most users hear about any of these, they just think screw that and move to a custodial wallet because it is so much easier. If these were our only two problems, I think self-custodial lightning would be fine, it may never be the predominant way people use lightning, but we could get the UX good enough that we have a significant portion of people using lightning in a sovereign way. However, there are more problems under the surface.

Channel liquidity is a problem, but it is also deceptive. When you have 100k sats of inbound liquidity you would think you could receive up to 100k sats, but this isn't the case, often you can't actually receive any. This is because of on-chain fees, when a payment is being made in lightning you are creating pre-signed transactions that have outputs for every in-flight payment, these outputs cost potential on-chain fees and the high on-chain fees go the more it eats into your liquidity. After we've solved most of our force close issues Mutiny this has been number one support request. Even if you do everything right, understand liquidity and have enough for your payment, sometimes it still won't work because on-chain fees are too high. This is always really discouraging because isn't the whole point of lightning to not have to
pay on-chain fees? Fundamentally, all current lightning channels could become entirely useless if on-chain fees went high enough because a single payment would require too many reserves. Obviously this is hyperbolic, but I hope I am getting the point across that on-chain fees don't just effect the opening and closing costs of channels, even if you are a diligent node runner that only opens channels when fees are low, that is not enough, your channels need to be large enough to pay for the on-chain fees of each HTLC at any future on-chain fee rate. As on-chain fees go up and up this problem will only get worse.

The proposed solution to these reserve issues are things like anchor channels, package relay, ephemeral anchors, etc. These are all well and good but kind of just mask the problem. They do solve it so the fee reserve can be much lower and possibly zero, however with the tradeoff that you need on-chain funds available to fee-bump your force closes so they can actually get into a block. This again breaks the UX for self-custodial users because they _have_ hold on-chain funds alongside their lightning funds so they can do those on-chain fee bumps. The size requirements for their on-chain funds is still dynamically based on how high on-chain fees can spike. Solutions for this can include having someone else bump your transaction fees but this brings basically a trusted 3rd party into the mix and isn't ideal.

When you lay out all the different tradeoffs a lightning node needs to make, especially in a high fee environment, it makes me think, what are we doing here, are we going down the wrong path? Lightning is still fundamentally a fantastic payment protocol but its limitation is that it requires _scale_. Basically every problem I've outlined goes away when you have a large lightning node with lots of liquidity and high uptime so many we should optimize for that. The market has been telling us this for years already, +90% of lightning users are using custodial wallets because it works so much better at scale. So how can we use large scale lightning nodes without custodial wallets?

Combining existing large scale lightning infrastructure with self-custodial solutions sadly, isn't totally possible. The only real way to do that as of now is Muun Wallet which as we talked about earlier, doesn't really solve the problem because everything is just an on-chain transaction. However, Muun was onto something. The architecture of having a simpler protocol interface with lightning is genius and gives us the best of both worlds. We can make fast cheap payments and let the big boys collect fees for running the lightning node. Aqua Wallet just launched which is essentially a Muun Wallet but on top of Liquid, this is a good bandaid fix but doesn't get to the root of the problem.

Before we go further we should take a step back and break down what problems we are trying to solve. Bitcoin has a fundamental scaling limitation through the block size, if we could make infinite, then we wouldn't necessarily need any layer 2s because we could just make on-chain payments. However, we live in the real world and have a 1mb block size limit, and this limits the number of transactions we can make on-chain. Lightning is a huge improvement to bitcoin because we don't need to put _every_ transaction on-chain, we just need to open a channel and can make seemingly countless payments. So why isn't lightning the silver bullet? Lightning lets us move payments off-chain but what it doesn't do is let us move ownership off-chain. Fundamentally lightning still relies on that, at the end of the day, a utxo goes to single user. So even if every on-chain transaction was a lightning channel, we still run into the limit of how many people can actually own those channels. What we need is another layer 2 that can scale utxo ownership and caninterop with lightning, that way we have a way to scale ownership combined with scaling payments.

So how do we scale ownership? Simply put, the answer today is custody, whether that is pure custodial like a Wallet of Satoshi or in the grey area like fedimints and liquid, the only way to do it today is through custody or federated bridges. In bitcoin, the only way to delegate ownership of a utxo to multiple parties is through multisig, however, that requires every user to be online when anyone wants to transact, and when you take go down this path far enough you end up just reinventing lightning.

Are we doomed then? Is there no way to scale bitcoin in a self-sovereign way? Luckily, the answer is no, but we need some soft-forks. Covenants are the way to scale bitcoin ownership. There are a bunch of covenant proposals but at their core what they propose to do is to add a way, so you can have a bitcoin address that limits where and how the coins in it can be spent. This can seem scary, but we already have these in bitcoin today, OP_CTLV (Check LockTime Verify), which was soft forked in 2016, only allows you to spend from a bitcoin address if the transaction has a given locktime, this lets you gate _when_ a utxo can be spent. What the current covenant proposals do is let you gate _where_ a utxo can be spent. With that simple primitive many different protocols can be built that allow for scaling ownership.

There are a lot of current covenant proposals, the main ones being: OP_CTV, OP_VAULT, OP_CSFS, OP_TXHASH, OP_CAT, and APO. They all have different functionality and tradeoffs but in my opinion we should be looking towards activating a form of covenants because otherwise we will likely be moving towards a future of less sovereign bitcoin users.

The future is not bleak however, even without covenants we can still scale bitcoin for the world, just not in the ideal way. At Mutiny, we are full steam ahead on implementing fedimint into the wallet, in my opinion (and the rest of the team's) it looks like the best current scaling solution for bitcoin. Fedimints give us the ability to dynamically share ownership over a group of utxos and is able to interop with lightning through gateways. It is the pinnacle of the scaling dream for bitcoin with current technology and I can't wait to help make it reality while we can.

On the front end I think zaprite is the best solution and can connect to many different back end wallets and cold storage or vaults.

Am I understanding FediMint correctly?

It's like a restaurant with one manger (btc core) many waiters (lighting) and several people at each table (fedi).  The people at the table all look at the bill and pick one guy to pay the bill and all send him money.  That way the waiter doesn't have to run 7 separate charges, each with their owns fees.  After the waiter collects several orders he can go to the manger and get final settlement on the base chain.

I love the idea of Mutiny having federation capabilities and I can't wait to see how this progresses. nostr:note1h7h7nulsmfp964p2jwprvsxm72yvn4t09ds5duflp3ey66qfpvtsekwaaq

I think people came to America for two main reasons, no permission needed to start a business, and no taxes.  That was worth all the risks.

What I wouldn't give to go to a place like that, bitcoin seems to be the only option even close.


Holy shit this is huge!

Perhaps one of the best explanations I've seen on different approaches to the "rule of law" is in chapter 6 of Hayek's book "road to serfdom".  Much to long for me to summarize here but I appreciate his approach to the problem.

Utility doesn't create value, time and energy do.  Natural resources are abundant and free, what makes them have value is time spent to get them, or make them into something else.

But that's a digression, my main point is that we accept currency that takes no time or energy to create, for real things like food, cars, homes that we spend our time and energy making.

Why would we do that?


If money doesn't have intrinsic value (time and energy to produce) then it's not money at all, just a threat of violence.

Happy birthday bitcoin,
Thanks for giving us money again 🧡


They're absolutely beautiful, I was mesmerized! Good luck!


I just said this same thing to a client earlier 🧡


Higher weekly/daily limit for on chain bitcoin going into cold storage, river is much better at that.  Tx ID displayed so we can track on memepool.


I grew up with parents who grew up poor in Greece. In my mind, real wealth isn't owning expensive cars and big houses.

Wealth is not needing to scrape every last bit out of the jar.


Finally got around to watching "leave the world behind".  Good movie, as a general rule of thumb if the government is saying something I do the opposite.

Main theme of the movie is "technology can't be trusted, go live off the grid and leave tech to the adults".

So basically very bullish on tech taking away power from the government, they are clearly threatened.


My condolences


Love it


I see the world in much the same way. My grandfather was a professor of statistics and physics and my great grandparents were friends with Einstein.  I've always been enamored with the world of energy, motion, electricity, etc.

If I can interpret the 4 characteristics they are describing correctly,
Old man = wise

Gay man = caring/attentive

Pessimistic about what will happen.

Optimistic about how I'll respond.

Damn 😍


If we use bitcoin directly we are only subject to the Rule of Bitcoin, if we don't use it directly (etf, coinbase, KYC) then we must obey the laws of man and the laws of Bitcoin.

The laws of Bitcoin are immutable, the laws of man are not.

The only way we avoid the laws of man is to use bitcoin directly without their permission or tools, otherwise it falls into the same trap like everything else.  Don't we want rules and not rulers?

I am utterly unafraid of CBDCs.
The hysteria is mostly formed from superficial doom-circle-jerk analysis. Successful CBDCs will be a private federated ecash (or something very similar), the wisest built on the Bitcoin stack:

* Private banks will not sacrifice their power over money production via debt (as mints' status quo can continue).
* Privacy/fungibility and acquiring users overrides any Stalinist incentives.
* All we need is 1 sovereign currency producing country to use a fedi-like system built on Bitcoin, Gresham's law will do the rest.
* Building digitally native money is really fucking hard, do not underestimate the work we have done, and how governments will make use of it.

Zoom out. Post WW2 monetary order was a design choice, the next will be for apolitical money as world reserve currency, (let's not be humble) Bitcoin really is the best candidate.
Sovereign currency-producing countries, who actually do their homework, know all this. Having a native digital currency entirely interoperable with other countries' currency via its apolitical base (Bitcoin) IS the solution we are tip-toeing towards. Humanity moves toward greater liberation.
As time wears on, and liquidity pours in bitcoin, it will become stable enough to use naively. Whether people will use really depends on how poorly their CBDC treat them.
This is how hyperbitcoinisation happens.


Happy new year Carla and Apollo!

Bitcoin will be fine as long as majority of the sats stay decentralized, I'm just worried what happens to everyone else.


Most people are not Interested in making money, they're interested in taking money.  Focus your energy on creating real wealth, not trying to extract it from those who do.


Remember that part in 2007 when all the banks kept the credit default swaps low so they could all buy insurance before the cost went up?  Get the vibes from blackrock and the gang they're doing the same with bitcoin.


This is probably the most important conversation we should be having as bitcoiners looking forward.

So much respect for nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech and nostr:npub1g0587hzzckcncxfm78n0996qe2s58nspy29wf02tqcj5sdzcpj4q6j40hv for the willingness to address difficult topics.  I deeply appreciate their intelligence and commitment to making a better society.

After watching this, I pose the open question;  What are the ways bitcoin can become centralized or co-opted by the very people Satoshi created bitcoin to defend against.

Conversation with a friend; bitcoin is like gold + zelle, as weird of a description that is, it's the only thing that clicked 🤣


all the properties (assets) are owned by the global asset and banking syndicate, Such as blackrock, IMF, world bank, bank of China, and many more.

These are the architects and referees of our global fiat financial system, and who created the rules we all play by.  The most messed up part is they started to win the game not out of hard work but by cheating.

We were born into this and we have two options, destroy the current game (war,revolution) and restart the same rigged game from the beginning, or start a different better game that they cannot cheat.


If you wanted to play monopoly and your choice was to start the game with all the spaces already owned, some with hotels, and 100k in debt to the bank, would you want that game or start a new one where everyone starts on equal ground?


True, it's a vicious cycle, until people get more fiat to cover their needs it's less likely someone takes the time to learn what bitcoin is, but the longer they stay in fiat the less money they will have.   Perhaps when fiat printer comes back on we will see more people ready to learn.  Seems adoption is much higher in bull markets or when fiat is more abundant.


Honor and integrity get confused often.

Honor is loyalty and consistency to an ideal that may or may not come from yourself.

Integrity is loyalty and consistently to an ideal that comes from within.

The distinction is important because you may find yourself honor bound to someone else's ideals and become a slave to them.

Pierre Rochard might be on nostr 🤔


Holy shit that's cold.


Formula's attempt to describe truth in the world in order to create a foundation or standard to build on.

Newtonian physics of motion gave us the Industrial Revolution.

Planck and Einstein gave us nuclear energy as a deeper truth than chemistry.

Satoshi gave us tangibility and truth in the digital realm and we've only just begun to see where that will take us.

I have as much faith in satoshi's formula as I do Einsteins or any other scientists.


Wow 😍


They will be the bitcoin equivalent of blackrock or Rockefeller.  Not much we can do about it other than try to keep the supply as decentralized as possible and be glad more companies are not smart enough to centralize it.

This whole year has felt like purgatory.  "Long lay the world in sin and error, pining, till it appeared, and we felt our worth".


Re-watched Mr Robot. And there are several themes but what stuck out to me most was Revolutions fail because they take to long.

People want the epic battle and the world to change in a day, they want the Guillotine.  But even when that happens it takes years for meaningful change to take root if it does at all.

Stay humble and stack sats means to be patient.  It will take time for the world to change, but the wheels of bitcoin are already in motion and the momentum is too great to stop now.

Long live the permanent quiet revolution.

I finally watched the movie Oppenheimer yesterday and man do I relate to him.  My grandfather was a mathematician who focused on statistics and physics as a professor in California.  my great grandmother was friends with Einstein and endorsed her husband's book.

I watched the movie with the words of nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu fresh in my mind that one of the most effective weapons ever created is an economic one.  True it doesn't steal all the future days of a few people, it steals the majority time from almost everyone, but in the end both steal time.

Those individuals gave much of their lives to prevent a weapon being used against the people of the world by a few power drunken zealots.  In much the same way we are giving our energy and time and intelligence to destroy the economic weapon of oppression in our day.


I've been on that stage in more ways then one.

Yes?


I'm not worried about bitcoin failing, I'm worried about people failing.

Failing to understand the opportunity they have.

Whoever owns the means of production will own all the money, and will own society.  This is our lived reality today.

Bitcoin is a share in the means of production of every company in the world.

While true the majority of society is content to live as a proletariat surf employee, there are some who are not.

If we want future generations to have a choice to escape their servitude and become a self sovereign owner, we owe it to them to not surrender our long term claim on production for short term wealth today.

Make no mistake the current owners of production will pay any amount for your future claim when they realize what you hold.

Hodl strong and hold the line, we will not surrender.


Belloc, who was quoted numerous times by F.A. Hayek in his work "the road to serfdom", portrays a unique understanding of the world.  His observations were disturbing, and for that I recommend it for anyone hoping to rise above their proletariat career as an employed surf. https://image.nostr.build/308c5a402cc05b4ac1048ca35ce2567c53bbac7a2ad4d62107e31bb7dd91a6b7.jpg


Happy birthday!!! 🥳🔥🤗


Proof of work means you have to work.

Whether they know it or not, citizens of the western world in Europe and America are afraid of this statement.

I think what the western world would rather have is a claim on everyone else's work, like we have had for the last 80 years.

I don't think anyone in the west including myself has a clue what it would mean for the productive countries of the world to refuse our claim on their goods.

Bitcoin will flow to the real producers, as we trade it for real goods we want.  That means if America had all the bitcoin today, but stays a net consumer, then it all flows to the net producers that we are buying goods from like China and Mexico.

Whoever owns the means of production will eventually own all the money.  (Cantillion effect)

What the west needs to work on is to increase our means of production, decrease our spending, create local circular economies and accept bitcoin from all over the world for these goods.

Any dollar claims on goods around the world will fail sooner than you think and bitcoin or another more dystopian global currency will be all that's accepted.

The force is strong with this one.


1995 was a great year.


This post is speculative, over simplified, and incomplete, but useful in knowing the context of where we stand.

1912- titanic sinks with most of the capitalist who opposed a central bank in America on board.

1913- the central bank known as the federal reserve is created in America.

1914-1918 WW1 breaks out with the Bank of England unable to raise funds for the war, assumes the roll of a central bank and prints money against the will of the people to fund the government.

1918-1939 the world goes through a anti-revolution establishing central banks and collectivist central planning in many countries, a direct undoing of the previous French and American revolutions that stepped toward liberty and freedom. (Socialism was founded in France after the French Revolution as a countermeasure to fight back)

1939-1945 WW2 is a culmination of economic and government planning that leaves the world broken.

1945-1971 the world attempts to correct its mistake by tethering back to sound money, but without the foundation of liberty that made it work.  Sound money quickly looses to central planning.

1971-2008 central economic planning  grows stronger in all parts of the world as the dollar has a stranglehold on the world and subsidiary fiat currencies control local jurisdictions.

2008-present.  Satoshi gives us a tool to break the power of economic planning and central banks.  The new revolution has begun.


"Wealth is matter which has been consciously and intelligently transformed to a condition which is more serviceable to human needs. Without wealth man cannot exist"

I have no idea how to fix this 🤣


Thank you 💜


I love playing in the snow 🤗


The only way to kill them is to render them obsolete.  If they hyper inflate before society is ready to run on bitcoin we will get an even worse version of the Fed to replace it.

Bitcoin must be the alternative people reach for when the Fed falls apart, but very few would right now.


The worst


I've always been blocked and abused by the legacy financial system, I had anxiety anytime I opened my banking app, so much so I would only do it once a month.

I had anxiety at first when using a hardware wallet because it was new, but now I feel better than ever being free from the abuse of the bank and credit system.  Even if bitcoin never went up in value I would be eternally grateful for that ability alone.


Our view of equality is too narrow.  In the west we yell at our government for taking a large share via taxes and inflation of the goods they stole from the global south, im guilty of this more then most, but the conversation needs to change to fix the problem at its core.

Wow 😍


I have a dream.  That one day all people, African, South American, Eastern, Western, and every corner of the earth can earn an equal share of spending power for the things they produce.

I came to bitcoin and remain here not because bitcoin was a good store of value, nor because it's the most permission less and censorship resistant medium of échange, although that was a close second.

I came because it's the greatest Unit of account.  Or in other words, the greatest measure of truth.  Time is precious, but truth is more precious.

Large parts of the world cannot earn an equal value for their goods or labor because they are siphoned through the fiat filter and diluted.

If we can divorce bitcoin away from its fiat filter then we have a chance for all people to earn an equal value for their labor, sats per hash.

This is a tremendous undertaking and will require every bitcoiner to hold it in their minds and do what we can to make progress to this end.  This may not even be possible to achieve in our lifetimes, but its goal worth aiming at regardless.

nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx asked in this interview "what are we doing with bitcoin".  I believe this is the greatest goal we can set our focus on.  nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu

"We have no intention, however, of making a fetish of democracy.  It may well be true that our generation talks and thinks too much of democracy and too little of the values which it serves"

                 F.A. Hayek

"Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.  It is itself the highest political end"

                 Lord Acton


"This is the fundamental fact on which the whole philosophy of individualism is based..... the limits of our powers of imagination make it impossible to include in our scale of values more then a sector of the needs of the whole society, and since scales of value only exist in individual minds, nothing but partial scales of values exist-scales which are inevitably different and often inconsistent with each other."

Good idea, they are all good products, lmk if I can help in anyway.


I would say bitbox02, cold card, then jade as the best hardware options.


I haven't used ledger in over a year, but I still had my device which I destroyed today and won't be using them again.

Several times in my life I've had all of my wealth wiped out, and I've been homeless a few times for several months.

Being a bitcoiner to me isn't about wealth, it's about knowledge and wisdom.  You can be a bitcoiner and own zero sats because what makes a bitcoiner is having your mind free from fiat prison.

A wise man with zero sats is worth far more than a fool with billions of them.

It's never too late to start restacking, your wealth is in your knowledge and understanding. It's in your courage and conviction.  You will regain your material wealth in time.

Hodl strong my friends, the ride will be tough, filled with hacks, confiscation, laws, and every other obstacle, but we will never go back to fiat prison again.

I really really love it when beautiful girls choose violence 💜🔥🥵


Even if I could personally rise above it, I could never let it continue knowing others are still affected.

Perhaps ugly is what we need.


I’m trying to ignore the systemic theft and not lose my shit, but it’s getting difficult.  At the same time the state of American business is 99% efficiency or better. If 1 out of 1000 people are unhappy then you’ve failed.

We can’t expect people to be whipped to go faster and be better, while having all the labor of their work being stolen at the same time.


I feel that 💜. Tied to my fiat job here also, but at least it’s a sunny prison.  No holidays though! That’s fucked up.


Just a reminder that Prince John raised taxes to 13% in 1207 which led to Robin Hood revolt and the creation of the Magna Carta which was the middle class revolution that led to the constitution.

A 4% tax on tea led to the American Revolution.

Currently paying 44% tax on everything in the U.S. not including inflation.

https://i.imgflip.com/vy42u.jpg


If they don’t care for money, then why do they steal it from us?   Stealing from others brings power, regardless of the method.  theft is poison that leads to ego, and will destroy your soul.


I remember those days living in Seattle. Welcome to come to SD for some sun anytime 🤗


Sorry man, hope you feel better soon.


I’ve always been driven by justice, I detest someone having privilege over another for no reason, or someone taking something they didn’t earn.

My heart breaks for all the people working hard for an unjust reward of fiat.

Either let them earn the fruits of their labor directly without extortion, or trade those efforts for a money that is fair, honest, and just.


And they shall receive a just reward for their efforts!!


Sweet dreams


Love ya bro 🤙🏻

Helping to correct what I was a part of and learned. It’s not about Twitter. It’s about the corporate incentives.

A company can’t own the protocol, platform, and interface all in one. The protocol layer must be free.


When nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m was CEO of Twitter and Trump was president there were many calls to ban Trump from Twitter. There were many people demanding Trump be removed because either he violated the TOS or because they saw Trump’s tweets as dangerous.

While catching up over kombucha at the Square office, Jack mentioned some of these conversations and how there were compelling arguments on both sides. He asked lots of people what they thought twitter should do. So he asked me about Trump and other accounts, like Richard Spencer’s and the alt-right.

I’m very anti-Trump but I said I thought Jack shouldn’t ban him, because he’d face a shareholder revolt. Everyone said that it was Jack deciding things at Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg for the meta empire, but that wasn’t really true. The real power is in the money and that’s shareholders and advertisers.

I can only imagine what a hard and stressful job it would be to decide what can and cannot be said in the public sphere, as twitter effectively was at its height. It was an impossible job, one which shouldn’t exist. Jack did incredibly good at managing to find balance, and everyone hated his decisions because there was no right answer.

The reason for Bluesky, and now Nostr is to make it so no company or person has that kind of control. That the public sphere that is social media shouldn’t owned or controlled by any corporation or government. When something of value is held together without being ultimately owned by a person, organization, or government, the it is held in common.

What we’re building together on Nostr is a commons. By making it a commons that’s held up by our software and contrbution as users, we escape the trap that caught twitter.

A commons where we come together to make and sustain space.

A commons where we can do business freely without someone who can arbitrarily shut us down.

A commons where groups of users can decide the rules for themselves, and everyone doesn’t need to follow some universal set of opaque rules.

I wrote a short rant called "fuck easy" a couple of days ago. I've been listening to podcasts and after the 5th person complaining that nostr is too hard (is it, really?) I was fed up and typed this out on my phone. I hope that we can return to a point, culturally, where "hard" is okay, just like the first level of the original Super Mario was hard.

Coddling everyone's mind has led us to the upside-down clown world we're currently living in, and coddling everyone's body has led to less-than-optimal health, to put it mildly. In the Bitcoin world, coddling users and making things "easy" has led to Coinbase-by-default and other stupid bullshit, and I truly am fed up with all of that.

There is a better way, but the "better" isn't necessarily "easy."


Damn I can’t decide which ones hotter 😍

The goal has always been to return liberal, individual freedom and principles to society, we just use bitcoin as a means to that end.


“The subtle change in the meaning to which the word “freedom” was subjected in order that this argument sound plausible is important. The word had meant freedom from coercion, arbitrary power of other men, release from the ties which left the individual no choice but obedience to the orders of a superior to whom he was attached.

The new freedom promised, however, was to be freedom from necessity, release from compulsion of the circumstances which inevitably limit the range of choices of all of us, although for some very much more then for others. Before man could he truly free, the “despotism of physical want” had to be broken, the “restraints of the economic system” relaxed”

         F.A. Hayek


Socialism is enforced slavery (by design and intention)

Democratic socialism is voluntary slavery (by design and intention)

Liberalism is freedom (by natural laws and order of the physical world)

“While democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude”

                D’Alexis de Tocqueville

This is a powerful statement, but holds even more weight knowing that you have spent many many hours looking for a solution through the political system.

I only see one way forward, a radical change in thought that is diametrically opposed to the existing system, bitcoin and other tools are our chosen methods to enact this change.


I think this is a great idea for so many reasons.


FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.
You don't want easy.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.
Easy is not putting on your running shoes.
Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.
Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.
Easy is compliance.
Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.
Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.
Easy is starting up the money printer.
Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."
Easy is not educating yourself.
Easy is not taking responsibility.
Easy is trusting a third party.
Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.
Easy is not having to think.
Easy is not having to understand.
Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.

If the principles of bitcoin don’t become widespread then us heretics are doomed to live our lives under oppression.  It may not be in our lifetimes that the dark ages of fiat are broken, but we must lay the groundwork either way.

Government doesn’t kill bitcoin, Bitcoin kills the government (collective ideology), or more accurately it replaces it with a different collective ideology(government).  One based on sound money, transparency, and openness.

Bitcoin wins by becoming the dominant choice of informed individuals, and in some sense, the new form of government.  Bitcoin looses if other ideologies persist in its place due to ignorance, this is our fight.

In all seriousness redundancy builds security.  That can mean single sig with multiple hardware devices pointing to the same address, or multiple seed phrases stored in any number of ways.

Multi-sig is also good, but unless you have someone you trust to hold the other keys, thats basically the same as the first in my opinion.

You could also just use multiple single sig addresses with a hardware device for each one so not all your eggs in one basket.
