Nostr pumpkin, all day. 💜 

 Maybe also a cool WoT application... Especially as more specialized WoT circles get defined. 

 For some reason I am reading this in a really high nostr:nprofile1qqstm84k2lp9knmvmf5gw88zvfvar7duvfpqfplryfystdn55ug2gksprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdaksz9thwden5te0wahhgtnwdaehgu3wwpshyareqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2j8uly5 voice and it really hits 😂 

 I really like the recent piece by Parker Lewis (read by nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg6waehxw309ahx7um5wghx7unpdenk2urfd3kzuer9wcq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyvu6425) and was thinking about covering it at my next meetup. He also covered it on nostr:nprofile1qqsgt0d4sa0pz0wvn9yck36xxezf3qhwzksu0q254vruqed5wvuavuspzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzfmhxue69uhky6t5wd6xzcmt9eshquqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumtfde5kymmvwshxjmnxdu4ryj8q with nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq9hxafw recently.  Might be hard to prep for by this afternoon, but itis top of mind for me so I figured I would mention it. 

Good luck!

 The rise and fall of Michael Saylor.  From Saylor Moon to Darth Saylor. 😂 

 Lol my kids all save in Bitcoin, but yea even they know that basically no one other than their dad uses Bitcoin... Figured if they started getting lightning vouchers under their pillow it may give a way some trade secrets 😂 

 I've been thinking a lot about this for a while now and I think that a lot of people struggle with this because the definition of a "progressive" is not well understood and I think a lot of people have wildly different definitions or conceptions about what it means to be a progressive. 

Would you mind sharing your concept or definition?  

 Thanks. I saw that nostr:nprofile1qqsd2s26xy7ns3sllyagc9c0jsdje49xdfw0mwcfxsrfvrmvkvtcf8cpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvsq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegrwllad also put out a lengthy description of his personal views as well this morning that I found helpful. I think in general bitcoiners who push back the hardest are the ones who know how terrible the government has been historically at "social services" but I don't necessarily think that progressive bitcoiners are endorsing current wealth distribution mechanisms as a perfect system.  

My thoughts for better messaging from progressive bitcoiners would be to highlight the problems with current social systems (like broken money and broken incentives), propose actionable solutions and point out how justice and equality are literally just promoting freedom and consistent rules for everyone. 

My 2 sats. 🍻 

 I like this take. 👍 

 Well, there were $249M in ETF inflows alone yesterday and the price dropped. There has been billions in inflows for the ETFs alone in the last week... 

How much do you think they are selling? Kinda seems like coordinated price suppression to me. 

 Ah good thought to compare inflows to volume. I guess I am underestimating the amount of trading that is actually going on.  Still seems crazy to me that so much is coming in on net (at least for the ETFs) without significant price appreciation, but obviously I don't know enough about these market dynamics.  

Thanks for your thoughts! 

 NGL, we'd be literally crushed by the boot of nuclear regulation. 

It's actually sickening the amount of over regulation that is going on in nuclear right now (and for the last 50 years). We spend way too much time on our knees in front of the NRC.

Sentiment for nuclear can get as high as ever, but without major reform in the NRC, we'll continue to build 1-2 plants a decade at best.  

 We'll see. I actually think simply downsizing the NRC staff would help a lot. Maybe Elon will give them the axe 😂 

 Awesome! Have you shared anything about the premise or anything yet? I'd love to hear what it's about 💜 

 Sounds awesome! I've been messing around with more Bitcoin fiction ideas since my story got published as Chapter 21 of the 21 Futures Bitcoin Fiction Anthology

 Thanks! 

 Thanks! 

 Yea same. polymarket is basically a degen shitcoin site. Not putting too much stock in it... But it is an interesting data point.  

 When the fiat apocalypse really starts to take hold, we will be blamed.  

 Wow I didn't realize how much better a person I was when Tom Brady was still on the Patriots 😂 

 End the Fed. 

 Next one is Saturday December 21st, 2024 🔥 

 I'm also waiting for lightning implementations that close channels to offline keys (single or multi sig). I'd feel a lot more comfortable holding more in lightning channels if I knew my sats ultimately would land in cold storage. 

 Chronological feeds are algorithms. It's algo choice and transparency that is important 👍 

 IRL though, there were only extremely selective cases where they raided homes for gold. It was mostly just so they could take all the gold from the banks. 

There aren't enough law enforcement agents to ever even come close to go door to door if another 6102 happened. 

 Lol. Opposite of a government shill here. I'm saying self custody your sats in cold storage.  

 Against bitcoiners.  If the government deserved our trust Bitcoin wouldn't exist.  No one's Bitcoin is truly safe unless you hold your own keys.  

 Vacation at Glacier National Park this past August. This is Hidden Lake 😎

 How much pee and poop are in the ocean? 😁 

 🔥🔥 No, link?  

 My wife's phone broke last week. I found a replacement on FB marketplace and I paid the guy in Bitcoin. Now the dude is coming to my next Bitcoin meetup 🔥 

 Good one, haven't seen that in forever 👍 

 Oh yeah, I saw that one a long time ago. I know the premise and I remember the end, but not much else 😂

 Yes. 💜 

 Yes. Can confirm, it's awesome 👍 

 🔥🔥

I just watched that again a few weeks ago, hadn't seen it in at least a decade. So good.
