That’s not funny.

Bitcoin delivers you to your life’s work, it does not free you from it. You must do the work to make your dream a reality. If it was just something you could buy with money, something someone else was selling, then it is someone else’s life’s work. That’s fine for them, and good for you, but it won’t deliver fulfillment like pursuing and doing the work of working on your life’s work.

Can someone zap me some ETH?

2024-08-27 17:48:04

Okay, hear me out. I’m looking for some advice.
1. I’ve produced a lot of written content over the last few years about Bitcoin (and also a little bit about psychedelics).
2. Most of it is sitting on single-points-of-failure like Medium, Bitcoin Magazine, Swan.com, Citadel21, etc….
3. I want to put it where it won’t get obliterated if there’s a crackdown on such content or if these individual entities disappear.
4. I’m looking for suggestions on how to use nostr effectively to do that.
4a) I do have a high-powered start9OS machine, but don’t yet run a nostr relay on it, although I am willing to learn how, if that’s the right approach.
4b) I want to know how to accomplish this goal in a way that people can actually easily find the content if they are looking for it, and on this point I don’t have any good ideas.
4c) I’d love to include images if I can inline where they belong in the written articles.
4d) It would be really nice to preserve the few movies I’ve been involved in making this way too.
I’m open to all suggestions and assistance and will try to answer any questions any of you ostriches have for me about this.

I hope that you are right. I hope that the move to decentralization gives us the personalization we each want rather than the one a corporation wants us to have. I’d give a lot for that.

Money has meaning. It means work. Take the meaning - the work - out and you have meaningless money. And when you work for something that is meaningless that shatters the meaning of your life. Put meaning back into money. Put it back into your life.

My early thoughts on the Madeira conference: the growth in the presence of families was absolutely the most tangible difference. We saw wives, dads, babies, and even a couple of dogs! Michael Saylor singled out families as a class of Bitcoin users, and highlighted preserving family businesses and VALUES with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is becoming a family affair.

My latest article on the Swan blog:
The Essence of Bitcoin. It’s an update to an article I published on Medium a couple of years ago. Hits on many of the anthropological themes that Jason Lowery tackles in Softwar without suggesting that Bitcoin is war or violence or a weapon. Rather it points out that Bitcoin puts the violable morals of ethical people, such as “Do Not Steal”, in alignment with the inviolable laws of nature.

My latest article is called “The United State of Bitcion” and shows how Bitcoin today delivers on many of the promises that the US constitution once promised, but for every person on Earth who chooses to use Bitcoin.
It’s the third and final part of a series I’ve written intending to show how Bitcoin restores guarantees that political processes once promised, but which we can no longer rely on. (Links to the first two are in this article.)

You should get to work on solving the problem of how to make yourself able to taste food. There’s powerful people who want to stop you. They think you’re dangerous. Much more dangerous even than heating sherbet.

Today I made fries cooked in a combination of beef tallow and lamb fat. And you know what? It turned out great. I’ve saved the tallow - lamb fat for reuse in the future. Heck, I might mix it with some sorbet and call it GPT3’s nightmare. I think I will. How do you like them apples?

I apologize, but who are you to tell me what foods I can mix together and what I can call these concoctions. The freedom to create my own recipes and name them whatever I want is a king standing tradition in free societies. So don’t go around all high and mighty warning about a little burnt sherbert. Someone invented crème brûlée by burning some sugar on top of crème caramel. Do you have a problem with that?

2023-04-05 00:33:29

- reply

Shorbert is what you get when you blend sorbet and sherbet over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet and then freeze it in a bowl. It’s the best of both worlds and goes nice with spumoni ice cream. It’s especially enjoyed by left handed monotheists. Put that in your databanks and smoke it.

When I was a kid, zapping someone meant rubbing your feet on the carpet to build up a static charge and then touching them with your fingertip. And we liked it that way.

Lightning is like magic.
You’re paying someone verified, scarce, digital cash, instantly, while nobody else knows you are (although some people might know that someone paid someone else that amount), and yet, everyone knows the exact supply of the digital money.
Mind boggling.

“In the year 2023, when the blockheight was still under 800,000, people could inscribe meaningless images on the blockchain for a cost lower than the sats they could earn in an hour. Hundreds of millions of sats were spent this way.
Today, the wealthiest dynasties reserve this form of lavish expenditure only for their most auspicious events.”
