Biden/Trump printed to oblivion. Politicians call bitcoiners criminals. We aren’t criminals, we care deeply about what they ruin. Bitcoin is for P2P cash (for the world) not a USA ETF. Vote against the system. Self custody #bitcoin.

Awesome meetup tonight! Great to meet new people. Amazing how we all have this common ground to bring us together. Bitcoin needs builders to make it grow and scale. We do this by building community.

Meetup tonight at Sunflower.
We’ll be discussing Jeff Booth’s article The Greatest Game.
Attached is a really nice (short) podcast that he did recently that explains his thesis on our economic system and how bitcoin fits in.

Excellent video discussing ways to use lighting, liquid, and on chain swap strategies when fees are high. Interesting, he explains how lighting balances can only be protected with hot wallets but liquid can be secured with a cold storage device.

@npub126n…e9ll is working with electronics recyclers to allow people to purchase their own start9 home servers. Great option if you want to run ta node (and a personal server) but need to save some money. Awesome stuff they’re doing!

Interesting listen. Open debate is so important. He’s probably right and wrong and those he refutes are likely right and wrong as most scientific studies are wrong and people use that data to argue their beliefs. Capitalism isn’t bad. Rather, cronyism is bad. We are probably better off than 60 years ago but we can’t escape the impending problem…extreme deficit spending.

Must listen.
Bob Burnett discusses mining pool transaction censorship and implications for freedom. Sustainability of mining w/out pools would be difficult. You buy bitcoin but are you aware of how few mining pools there are? Majority of the biggest pools are in China, etc.

Interesting scenario. One of our members transferred BTC from an exchange to their cold storage. However, the wallet showed a zero balance which made them anxious that they somehow lost all of their BTC. Fortunately, later in the day the wallet showed the expected balance. I suspect this was a server outage as their wallet would be run by someone else’s server. No risk of loss but definitely risk that someone else’s server could be down. This could be alleviated by running your own personal server and node.

It would take 31,709 years to count one trillion seashells if you counted one seashell per second. (That’s 1,046,397 years to count 33 trillion seashells at a rate of one seashell per second AND 6,341,800 years to count 200 trillion seashells at a rate of one seashell per second.)

We’re going to discuss hot versus cold solutions to custody at our next meetup. This Guy Swann post really solidifies what they discussed on Cafe Bitcoin recently (check out discussion prior to 1 hour 20 minutes). Basically, get really good at your bitcoin only hardware device. Check in and learn more about your device annually. Maybe this will make you do something totally different or maybe you learn simple tricks to make your signing device use more secure without doing complex things. Pros and cons to all things. Start simple with self custody of 24 words. Consider avoiding safe deposit boxes. Don’t split your seed (rather, do a multisig if you really need to separate the components for estate planning purposes).

The discussion (from minutes 20 to 50) be @npub1mz7…tl8g , Nate, and @Alex is awesome! It’s the discussion that our entire country should be having. It amazes me to see bitcoiners (lucidly) seeing society from this perspective.

I was flabbergasted the first time I saw bitcoiners discussing things like diet (and exercise and pretty much everything thing else!) in a way that I knew to be true. Not in a generic way, like “stop eating so much and go for a walk and you won’t be fat.” Rather, with an understanding that the real scam has been decades of fat free diet propaganda brought us diets deficient in protein and helped society get fat and undermuscled. Muscle that could have been used to combat metabolic syndrome. Now, “climate science” seeks to demonize protein as another nail in the coffin of humanity.
These sort of things only helped orange pill me further and further as I realized that bitcoiners are individuals who scrutinize the world and seek truth. This broad degree of scrutiny makes it much less likely that bitcoiners are wrong about their conviction for this thing that can make the world a better place.

Interesting article from the St. Louis fed. Basically saying that fiscal dominance (ie, inflation taxation via hyperinflation) could be here this decade if entitlements and defense spending aren’t addressed.

“I’ve never met a bitcoiner I didn’t like.” Bitcoiners prioritize truth and low time preference over instant gratification and Fiat based junk. It starts with better money and radiates outward from there. This leads to low time prioritization of health, work, money, relationships, etc. https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_8068218686574430081689780738.webp

The White Paper discusses using a different address after each transaction. This improves privacy. The xpub from HD wallets allows for near infinite number of addresses. Basically, use these wallets to create a new Bitcoin addresses every time you transact.
