Massive thanks to #coldcard for getting my awesome new hat to me super quick, and those calculators you were able to include in the package are super useful for adding stuff up and dividing (21m/♾️). @NVK #bitcoin #honeybadger. Now to sort a coherent response for when my daughter asks why, ah, resilience and tough, how I like both my badgers and my money. https://image.nostr.build/bed1f1b6775833b920ff0bc77148dccc164c450d0adf448a6af1f7b32eb3bcf1.jpg
Gm nostriches. Hold tight, stay calm, grab a #coffeechain spend some time with the animals you choose to bring into your house and, at least in the UK, enjoy the shitty July weather. #grownostr

Happy Sunday nostriches. Fantastic day yesterday with the kids, got a chance of enjoying sometime with @Jeff Booth (indirectly, but reading price of tomorrow 😘👌, may be contacting you for your views on something). This morning decided I wasn’t bullish enough, so signed up to #unchained and grabbed a new #coldcard honey badger hat (maybe have put in a Q, to bulk up the order, cheers for the discount @TheGuySwann . #coffeechain #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/9c247b15edb14b1c38f033c2fdfff2b2348cf30cc0ae829a78d7cfbe87089903.jpg
I thought I was being clever. I seasons my beef shin and attempted to slow roast it in the air frier (has worked ok in the past), I baseded it, I crossed my fingers and I’m very glad no one else is relying on this for dinner. I ruined my #steakstr. But then, just thinking of it as jerky and in that case, not too bad. #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/675f5b934e99b8915e54abffe39c715072b549910e1d45b27a3ab0bdb118024b.jpg
Family wanted an unhealthy dinner last night so happily grabbed a 16oz rump #steakstr from Lidl. Very very thick, didn’t have quite the time to get to room temp or season, but was amazing. So much flavour if a touch blue in the middle. #grownostr. Tonight, beef shin and oxtail combo. https://image.nostr.build/8b569b9f2abef3cd8a569ee088f9c93c320f85c4cdb5570c10670b6f63ae8782.jpg
Thanks to #theweekmagazine. Hardly mentioned in the election, apart from old Nigel bring up fiscal drag, but this is a super important stat IMHO. The 45% tax rate was supposed to only apply to the “rich” but once your breech the 40% barrier, 1 in 6 will eventually move into the next bracket. 6million and 1million doesn’t sound like the financial elite to me, just normal hard working, now middle class Britain., and they’re being taxed to destruction.
Inflationary policies
Progressive tax
Coordinated by central banks
Like looking into the mind of Mr Marx.
Opt out, remove your wealth from the system
Do you even think they’ll spend that money wisely?
Buy #bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/b2c0ee64d92f3e33c0a3c0183e09743ca32386db4f012485bed9f35f0e8660ef.jpg
GM nostriches, happy Saturday freaks. Hope everyone is enjoying the volatility, and hope you were able to pick up some cheap(er) sats this week. Are you leveraged? Will you be a forced seller? If not, enjoy the ride , up the DCA this week, take custody and make sure your keys are safe.
Then go face that task IRL and put in your proof of work. For me, the garden is calling. #bitcoin #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/2cddec82ddfd3cdae2d5b15607fa6439dc727a58ae1eda76d110e69948d14d6d.jpg
Loved my visit to lake Lugano many years ago. May convince the family to join me in a bitcoin retreat and then pitch moving there. Maybe an easier sell than El Salvador.
Gm nostriches, particularly those in the UK. History doesn’t repeat, but there is a little rhyming. 1997, massive labour majority, lots of “proposals to help those that need it” (missed opportunities in 1997, ‘cost of living’ crisis now). Main different this time, in 1997, deficit trending to zero, building the foundation of the internet revolution, taking down huge outdated 70’s public owned corporations, in 2024 things are all sorts of messed up. The money printer has been running for 27 years.
Jess Philips “everything I’ve got has been under a labour government”, question is, where has that come from? Sorry to say, all those things were likely paid for by debt, getting students into debt, increasing taxes, getting the best out of the good times, and leaving the world with the GFC.
On the plus side, thanks to Gordon brown, the family silver (or national gold) has already been sold, but then, does that mean he’ll be targeting the Crown Jewels this time? The “progressives” in the party would say royal privilege “isn’t fair” so we should get rid…… just a thought.
Keep calm, stack harder. #grownostr #coffeechain #ukelection https://image.nostr.build/5c2d18f673cc45514b4180d8cebf5fc87684f7580ebf0a6e05c679bddb8e4dad.jpghttps://image.nostr.build/3b87cb7a1980be50b6e306236f5affd300e4fa60e12f56c3034c94a578729209.jpg
May be like another weird piece I read, where you look a bit deeper and amazingly the authors was connected to layer two labs, aka drive chains, then the whole piece made sense.
Good morning nostriches.
My first #generalection2024 day where I actually have a meaningful choice to make (started my journey in 2020).
I would like to confirm I have voted and I’m happy to say who I voted for!!!
Satoshi as chancellor,
Rules without rulers,
no Bank of England,
no unfunded spending,
low time preferences,
no changes in monetary policy,
Minimal state,
No inflation,
No tax, just voluntarily paying for services I receive and value.
Planning my #citadel for my next general election on a bitcoin standard.
I did my election day #bitcoin buy.
Cheers CoinCorner #grownostr #reducethestate https://image.nostr.build/e8029a1866d1ce7fa571ce6a66630a503db74a945aff70119afa730937253866.jpg
Gm nostriches…. Sorry for the Wednesday rant. Also, uk freaks, prep to vote with your money tomorrow and happy Bitcoin Wednesday.
The students are being saddled with massive debt, that their degrees are not adding sufficient value for them to likely ever pay off. This is not providing them with any value, they should not go to uni!!! They would be better learning #bitcoin
Multiple UK universities are struggling, if they were private sector companies, they would have called in the administrators. They are getting students into debt and not even making use of the money they get and the lives they are ruining.
“Research staff”in your ivory towers,if your research is not adding value to these students’ lives,is the money you’re taking from your struggling employer actually helping the situation.Unless actual businesses are paying your bills, that “esrc” grant process just adds red tape and pointless admin!
And then the university administrators. You get the comfy wages but what are you actually doing, you “keep the wheels turning” but are you making things better, or just adding bureaucracy? “Teaching and learning manager” who doesn’t teach? No offence, but just Fuck off.
So students: learn #bitcoin don’t get into massive low value debt.
Researchers: what is going to get people out of this situation? (Research #bitcoin)
The universities: consider developing strategic assets treasury (buy #bitcoin)
Uni Administrator: good luck in your next job.
Wow mr professor, you reached the upper limit of your work pension and have over a million in it. Well done. But that shit is being inflated away and that probably won’t give you the retired you’re thinking you’ll get.
You wanna juice that puppy with a #bitcoin stack mate. I cancelled my work pension, dog shit mate.
Gm nostriches, "Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without" – Merovingian. This Thursday the idiots in Westminster give the plebs the illusion that they are making the choice, when in actual fact they are getting fucked through deficit spending, quantitative easing, fiscal drag and inflation of the fiat, unbacked GBP 🇬🇧 shitcoin.
I’m just sitting here with my #catstr 🐈⬛, ready to smash buy my #bitcoin protest vote formulating my exit plan from the state. #grownostr #generalelection https://image.nostr.build/1568c4e687554ffce6271db0462382502c910c9993bbbd203777c5e9c2807e0d.jpg
Gm July Nostriches, H1 is complete, I have a new idea to work on this week (maybe all of H2) and Bitcoin Matrix and @TomerStrolight drop a new episode. Thank you for your time gentlemen. Get great for an awesome week friends. #bitcoin https://fountain.fm/episode/DUK8fSbdKrjooDEdYC2N
What is a bitcoiner? Someone who is knowledgeable enough to initially discount the significance of #bitcoin , but sufficiently humble to learn enough to prove themselves wrong. It is not about #bitcoin , is it about learning.
Gm nostriches. At the end of the first 6 months of the year. Overall very happy with how things have gone, excited to enter Q3, H2 or whatever. Just finishing my second #orwell of the year, #wayfaring or #snowcrash could be next on the list….. any suggestions? Sorry for the #footstr shot!!! #grownostr #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/e989bec830f2898c1c95baf8df22673e8ca64cef9d5b0641afc4a84881b770ca.jpg
Gm nostriches. Out and about with the little hodlers on an adventure, drove to a park and now we have to make our way back!!!!
https://m.primal.net/JBui.jpg
GM nostriches, election season is currently going wild, but had a moment of clarity:
Dear #ukgeneralelection party leaders, please can you stop saying “#costoflivingcrisis”, this is a diversion from the inflationary, deficit spending policies you have been following for years. It is a crisis that has been brewing since 1997 when #Labour turned the printer on.
Can’t believe I’m saying this but Thank you Nigel Farage for actually calling it out. You also got close to hitting it out of the park for everyone holding #bitcoin , it is not prices going up, it is the value of your gbp going down.
Have been making spreadsheets to back up discussions in a book I’m writing, and mortgages are scary as anything, without opening up the 7th level of hell that is a 40 year mortgage, that the banks handing them out without telling you that final 10k will cost 4 years of your life. 💀☠️
So dad, what did you do today in work?
I made graphs of Bitcoin data, that are not that insightful but maybe interesting to someone who is numerically inclined.
Summer doldrums in halving years were pretty low, ooo scary!! 😧
But, having gone into the halving at last cycle’s ath, the block reward is currently twice what it was in 2016 and 2020, this time is quite different.
If price dips, all those older miners with more expensive power will leave, hashrate will like drop, people may get scared (mining stocks will get decimated, hmmm, may prep for this), but “sell in May and go away”, not much will happen until likely Dumptember followed by Uptober. #bitcoin. Happy Friday Freaks!!! https://image.nostr.build/ee23f4f2c928f7b6053fca6b614834fbbfd6ebace1dd2674f22e0c220fc6d3a7.jpghttps://image.nostr.build/4a4eb32d44c1cac7805450ecd925d805d17abb0c1e1cd7a4445204db998ffc4a.jpg
GM nostriches Fantastic interview, cheers @petermccormack and @bitstein. Such deep thoughts and logic, university for him sound like an actual place of critical dialogue. Great ideas related to the tacit knowledge and understand we are developing about #bitcoin and the importance of not losing it over time. I don’t want a Lambo, but it will be nice to have the choice. https://fountain.fm/clip/U7eoi1nECsX7qP4WlML7
Good luck to all the miners out there, price isn’t too great, fees are great for us plebs, and for those surviving miners, they’ll get a nice little easing on the difficulty. #bitcoin

Gm nostriches, looks like another awesome day in the making (weather and markets). I’m starting things off with a little “big short 2.0” with George. Happy that I’ve loaded up on credit default swaps for the fiat ponzi (cheers Greg Foss). Hope you’re all scooping up a little corn during this mini dip. #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/e0e4e9ee7c37b6db02696251bf8fd85d343231867f0698e054a9b883759d50aa.jpg
Happy #bitcoin Monday Ced and @GrassFedBitcoin , awesome, impactful rip. Get a node, support mining, decide what is the Bitcoin you want to be part of. Also, engineering based logic wins everyday, we are pragmatic, we get shit done. 🙌 @bitcoinmatrix https://fountain.fm/clip/M1cqBf3GviiMRVo7Shtj
