 I have an old friend from school who I’ve known for 20 years.

Now mid 30’s. Unmarried, unsuc...

 Hmmm, accept an invite to the rehearsal dinner for my cousin’s wedding or find a #bitcoin dive bar somewhere in Charlotte and hang out with some degens…….. https://media3.giphy.com/media/L3c8aAACw7Qpx2ojGB/giphy.gif 
 Views on Jamie Dimon: haters gonna hate, scammers gonna scam. He hates, he scams, simples. 
 Give me liberty or give me death. Also fuck fincen. 
 What message am I sending if I give my cousin a “the die is cast” @MADEX as a wedding gift? Too dark? #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/1d01f8cc69105e114070fb6cd2209ca2bdfa9ecf5c07133ed2103baeba06d1e3.jpg  
 He’s a gamer, like 28, and is US based, if he’s not a bitcoiner, something is wrong. I’m fine to come across as an insane bitcoiner, won’t be long until I get reclassified as a genius…… shit, must remember to stay humble. 
 The same has crossed my mind. 
 Ready to get a dm about starting my new role at #bulllbitcoin now I’ve received my uniform…… small stumbling block of needing to persuade the UK government that they are being ridiculous about their stance on #bitcoin so  actually allow Bitcoin companies to operate. https://image.nostr.build/7a155a35bdce5e34323ca234c0dc5437ae9dbec4da425afd8f5bbecb4404de22.jpg  
 Thank you @MADEX 
 Just without any crypto companies operating in the uk 
 I’ve missed you guys over the past couple of weeks @Ian and #flirtingwithbitcoinclips. When they displace your people and took their land, they cannot take your #bitcoin. Your move colonialists. #bitcoin https://fountain.fm/clip/4Y0npqG3GJIKjkGJ2INK 
 Would say that yield curve inversion and a lack of inflation are the least of Japan’s issues. Thanks @theweekmagazine. https://image.nostr.build/fb45265d045a38083c0da406af9031e41044b5b8235217c2ccabe52c810f875f.jpg  
 It is more of a digest of a range of papers from the past week, including a little bit of science, food, media and a bit of finance. @theweekmagazine on twitter 
 Ngl, I can think of nothing else I want less diversity in than fuel. There are only two forms, petrol (gas) and diesel…… #grownostr #shelluk #gowoke? https://image.nostr.build/cea1204a751176012be5ffe7e38417f5077cd5f964d41d9911c6ffe0af887185.jpg

 @TheGuySwann explained gdp and the velocity of money argument of economists better than anyone I’ve ever heard, and it involved economists actually eating shit. #bitcoin https://fountain.fm/episode/THVQJVbnPK6sleMrSvFN 
 Oh Jesus, i can’t see the point in voting anymore, all these jokers, hypocrites, criminals, Keynesians are all the same……. #bitcoin @JMilei https://image.nostr.build/2de7a0e26f1a3acd8cdbc80a9ae9165211d6979fd2787c8eeada9be978b91fc8.jpg  
 Not #bitcoin or personal advice, but I find I get a lot of pleasure from supporting an awesome figure and artist in the Bitcoin/rand/“living one’s best life” space who will help bridge the Bitcoin-normie chasm. @MADEX emissary programme is pretty cheap and even has a prize draw, of course you can buy his art as well, but some can’t. https://image.nostr.build/cbbe43c61c8010fd5d3e051e6cf65144f9d1644ed552e2c9de7bab461d506cce.jpg  
 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, PUSH FORWARD, NEVER STOP 🫡 
 All politicians are awful, find someone who quotes Rothbard, starting paying attention to Argentine politics…… this may just be me, 
 Got that mother’s dog visiting. While she is intensely annoying (and I consider myself a big fan of dogs), ngl she has moments where she is rather endearing. Just kicking back and chillin’ #dogstr #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/2e0e5bbfbf1db96f91e2bb86c0d6833f56f555243889968ed0c8401cbd446e29.jpg  
 “All time high, Ryes” are all well and good, but what about “up another notch, Scotch”? Celebrate at 50k, 55k, 60k, 65k? #bitcoin #grownostr make bitcoin fun again, although maybe not with the 40 year old Scot h!!!! @BTCsessions https://image.nostr.build/e819d5476a3e1a0b6c91301ccdc2969611f2fded15b008d7c92163329732f3fe.jpg

 GOOD MORNING NOSTR 🫡

WE LIKE THE COIN.
WE RUN THE NODES.
WE HOLD THE KEYS.
WE ZAP THE SATS. 
 🤙 
 Yes we do, also while I can’t say the collective “we” as I fully accept differences in opinion across the community, fuck Barry. 
 So #bitcoin  etf wise, in the 1970’s when Gold was made legal to hold, price didn’t rise immediately, people front ran, bought the rumour, sold the news (thanks @TheMarketHuddle ), in the 2000’s gold took around 18 months to get running after #gld was launched. 

Also likely some front running and rumour selling went on, BUT, these events will have also given miners a chance to up production,and increase supply which would also suppress price,supply actually fell into into both events, pumping price before the event, #bitcoin  is different

As we know, into the #bitcoin  etf launch, supply will not change, supply will not grow following etf launch, and will actually be cut in half in April 2024. If the SEC actually does their job, another factor that suppressed #gld’s price was unaudited paper gold.

If these products are appropriately managed, this should not be possible as we should be able to validate reserves onchain for these #bitcoin  etfs, and if we can’t, I’d recommend moving your funds to a firm that can.

History does not repeat, but it can rhyme.Things will not play out exactly but we can learn from what went before. Games will be played,but it will be a lot more difficult to get away with it with #bitcoin ,don’t trust, verify. Bitcoin is not just gold 2.0, this time is different. https://image.nostr.build/334873c16d1896b228c55e3db2330e5c1499406f236f8549763df27b75a8ba2c.jpg

 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡 
 Stay humble and write Bitcoin related peer-reviewed research, fuck that sounds lame. 😒 
 🤙 
 May actually be on the way to having a “peer reviewed” article focused on #bitcoin https://media1.tenor.com/m/oTZe_zHlwhcAAAAC/fast-show-which-was-nice.gif 
 Out with the #dogstr in the #snowstr in #nottstr. Gm nostriches, fight the good fight and try and teach someone something useful today. https://image.nostr.build/ea8600390c8f5fb6b1f31cdcd80a581fc6b839ba0d6b77f6ba2fee185fc9699b.jpg  
 Great show, bpuk has some solid players going up to bat! 
 Also appreciate Freddie’s direction on life goals, have eaten a triple decker bacon and cheese sandwich this evening, wasn’t accompanied by double die hard, but definitely a good addition to any day. 
 At what point in the bull market should I revise my standard zap for 37 sats? 🙌 @ck for the inspiration, but it is just going to start getting expensive (there is still some fiat “unit of account” mischief going on in my life).

 @BenJustman not posted about this witchcraft? Airfryer going to be out to work!!!! 
 Has a dehydrator setting on the airfryer. Never used it, but either way, I’ll be eating the steak that comes out, whether I make it again will be another thing!
