 Not to self, when I ask for a #coffeechain, give some more instructions. Espresso for giving me a kick into lunch time. https://image.nostr.build/a594538d43841b8bf138b33c29aad4bebcd9041f8fcde2b277871e4aba13b328.jpg  
 Gm nostriches!!! Things are rough out there, stay calm, take a deep breath, enjoy the beauty in the world around you. And never forget, stay humble #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/05837ef31367d93c584441db7790df8ada238b1fc81ccc9b448c75c539d0bd6d.jpg

 Gm nostriches. Stay humble and stack sats, also buy a @FOMO21Shop shirt or two  #bitcoin. Then, if funds allow, you can buy ridiculous sunglasses!!!! They make you think you look cool. #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/27cfb1c4701aa1a04b2602f01e480ee631b5704eeaeb90211437b0def26b71ca.jpg

 Great show @saylor,some decent questions from @PeterMcCormack, appreciate the position, but still, continued, aggressive development activities are needed imho.“Consensus” will be reached for a “breaking sha256”? But do you think there will just be 1 option? If there are two viable options, how will we reach consensus?

@joey , you may have ruined Saylor pods for me, he does a lot of prep and has a lot of well rehearsed case examples, there is a little conservation, but limited “off the cuff responses ”.

Miners may not like changes in scaling, but this is a process known as creative destruction (schumpeter, who may be an Austrian more innovation compared economics discusses this), as eth miners did, if they were strong companies they’d find other sources of revenue (AI). #bitcoin miners do this with  Load balancing, domestic heat, cocoa drying companies, that mine of the side? There are business models. https://fountain.fm/episode/gSwHz52HfVPakPt6gmoD

 The more you sun your balls the more #bitcoin you buy. It’s science. 
 Facts. 
 Gm nostriches!!!! 

Are we at that point in the cycle where your friends and family reflect back on all the times you mentioned #bitcoin, and realise maybe they should have listened……… https://image.nostr.build/1cc158a4c03406a5ea8c2ea2f0e12cccb1b65c850e381f68b7b5e1084830323f.gif  
 So UK general election on 4th of July 2024.

Same old Tories (useless and unable to reign in spending) versus potential spending carnage to fulfil election promises.

Honestly, only interested in what they have to say about #bitcoin and whether they can “grok” how Bitcoin mining could in their favour. Don’t even care what they say about the sector that employees me.

Lib Dem, nationalist parties, what ever brexit party is now called, while not a 2 party system, won’t many any difference, other than keeping labour off a majority. 

Now, if there are some #libertarian candidates, sign me up!!!!!

 Gm nostriches, just hanging out with #catstr. #grownostr work out the process needed to introduce a #dogstr. https://image.nostr.build/efd9763fb3b756909a041355bd999df2994d372f0faca577db896d6183bf8e16.jpg  
 TRANSCRIPT FROM A TALK JACK GAVE AT A JP MORGAN CONFERENCE THIS WEEK.

 This is huge. 
 The masses gradually suffocating under trillions of both personal and national unproductive debt. 
 Wife: what is it with you a pizza 🍕 today? 
 Experienced the lowest value gbp 🇬🇧 fiat ever, I was only about to buy 1786.52 sats with each £. Short term no idea, medium/long term, this shitcoin is being governed by elected officials towards zero. Bitcoin is being governed by code. Act accordingly. 
 Great show, great insight from Ed. 
 Gonna sound a bit know it all, but any firm paying attention probably should be plowing…. 
 👊 
 Btc price is buzzing around ATHs, and having got remunerated today for selling my sweet sweet time for dirty fiat, I can think of nothing better to do with it than converting it straight to #bitcoin. This could be the last time I see prices until 70k!!!! 
 As for me, I like the pizza. 
 👊 
 Happy Pizza Day!

This time next year, you’ll all be cutting slices with a samurai sword 😆

... 
 This. ☝️ 
 Gm nostriches. Thinking about it, Lazlo did not sell #bitcoin, he spent it on pizza, allowing bitcoin to enter the economy, not as a result of a computer science experiment,but exchanged for goods and services. 

Don’t just hodl, bitcoin pizza day is about spending bitcoin, using bitcoin, distributing bitcoin.

It’s my store of value, but I’ll still spend it on things I need, things I want but always things that add value to me and my family. A holiday, kid’s first house, a piece of @MADEX art, The spent bitcoin will likely go up in value, but so will the value my family and I get from well thought through purchases. https://image.nostr.build/94dfebb92ec0c8e0f81c1eae97f7001f8eccb169f3a0ef6b23120b21e3bf34b7.jpg

 From Liberty UK:

 And ministers should be held accountable for breaching powers? Unfortunately I think I know the answer to this….. 
 Manager: the process has determined because of the research you have been publishing, your research hours have been reduced

Me: I’ve been researching #bitcoin meaning my research hours don’t need to be “defined by you” as I’m less reliant on the fiat mine. https://image.nostr.build/9db164b3aae9081dc95dd8de48596e56a41521274adb46c6afa59e07841d836d.webp  
 They can only control you if you use their currency and services. 
 Exit fiat, enter freedom. 
 Gm nostriches, finishing off listening to @petermccormack and Junseth with the scammers, will be sharing with the family. Unbelievable stuff, no conscience, no morals. Didn’t realise  people are actually opening themselves up to this stuff, I hope my dad wouldn’t, but I’m not sure. I have had a phone call from “Ledger”, no feel like I should have spend more to the guy…… Keep your #bitcoin safe, and to take a good line from the 80’s, “don’t talk to strangers”, but more relevant today, don’t share information with people on the phone or online and take your coins off exchanges and don’t keep seed phrases on Google docs!!! https://fountain.fm/episode/KPbtJEcjY3ZxHkL8Ix7W 
 some of you don't say GM on the regular and it shows  
 And they are the people that don’t deserve to get a GM! Bastards. 
 GA Nostriches. Things moving in a good direction related to a certain Australian “computer scientist” and #bitcoin is hanging around a level that it has not been at for 99% of its history. Life is good. https://image.nostr.build/7141dfa947ebf932c68871a7bf8f70f0103e267d2ee271c6f0295a112db6c644.jpg

 As they start buying their own debt we move into the “ponzi on crack” phase. 
 Good Evening nostriches. Big day for me, took my daughter for a haircut and they brought out the #bitcoin cape without me even asking. She was also pretty happy with her buzz cut ready for heading on holiday next week. https://image.nostr.build/206238b875ff31b9fac3767c8b38e7ba4e5dd177af72c0f625dd2adcc338d642.jpg  
 Gm nostriches!!! Someone on the bird app just asked for advice, someone replied with a book recommendation, which I responded to with a link to a paper I wrote linking the concept from this book to bitcoin.

Today, my work is done, well that and getting the kid’s hair cut. #dadduties #grownostr #academicnerd
