The @npub126n…e9ll origin of its name. Great read:
Order From Chaos
Pokemon is a game for Gameboy. Twitch is a live video streaming app. “Twitch Plays Pokemon” was a popular phenomenon where Twitch users would collaborate to play a SHARED game of Pokemon on Gameboy. Here’s how it worked:
Participants would use the Twitch message board to enter commands that then got executed in the gameplay. For example, if someone entered the command "right”, that would cause the player to move 1 space to the right. Commands would execute immediately after they were received, and anyone could enter a valid command at any time. You can think of Twitch Plays Pokemon as the more practical equivalent of placing a Gameboy in the middle of a crowded room and telling everyone to push buttons at the same time. As you might expect, the gameplay of Twitch Plays Pokemon was quite “twitchy”, but in a very "infinite monkey theory" way, progress could eventually be made.
In an effort to streamline play, a new game mode was devised in which players would “vote” for the next command and, every 4 seconds, whatever command received the most votes over the previous 4 seconds would execute in the game. Also introduced in this mode was the ability to attach multipliers to a command, such that the command would execute that number of times. For example, “right2” would cause the player to move 2 spaces to the right. “right3” would cause the player to move 3 spaces to the right, and so on. The highest number any participant could place after a command was 9, meaning whatever command they entered would execute 9 times. As you might expect, gameplay in this mode was less chaotic, more efficient, but it also meant each participant had less direct and immediate influence over the game. If a group of even 5-10 got together and colluded on their votes, they could practically take over the game and make contrarian ideas irrelevant. The new game mode was called “Democracy”, and the original game mode became known as “Anarchy”. Which game mode was engaged was itself governed by a democratic process: if more participants wanted to play in Democracy mode, then Democracy mode engaged; if more wanted to play in Anarchy mode, then Anarchy mode engaged.
To summarize: in Anarchy mode, everyone had equal influence over the game, but progress was slow and clunky. In Democracy mode, progress was fast and efficient, but colluding groups could marginalize individual participants and ruin the game for them.
So…individual participants discovered a means of effective protest whenever Democracy mode became suffocating, but they could not garner enough votes to switch back to Anarchy mode. Someone would type the command “start9” into the comments. This command meant “open the start menu 9 times in a row”, which, as you might imagine, would be enormously disruptive if executed. The entire screen would be blocked by the start menu, over and over. Typing “start9” was a participant’s way of signaling to other participants that they felt marginalized by Democracy mode, and they were ready to fight back. If others felt the same, they could also begin typing “start9” - then, sure enough, “start9” would finally receive more votes than the colluding group’s command, and the menu opening would begin. Every 4 seconds, the menu would open 9 times…again, and again, and again…until finally, the colluding group would be forced to either cooperate in reverting the game mode back to Anarchy mode or quit altogether.
Playing in Anarchy mode was impractical, but neither did people want to play a game where they had no voice, where a group of insiders had taken total control. And so “start9” became the battle cry of the individual, the out-group, a means of signaling to other individuals that it was time to fight back against the usurpers - to use their own rules against them, until there was no alternative but to return control to the individual participants.

My favorite part, which as a S9 user I experience everyday: "in Anarchy mode, everyone had equal influence over the game, but progress was slow and clunky." It's true that self-hosting is slow and clunky, but the S9 team has been improving this over time. The experience is getting better and better everyday. Can't wait for clearnet connectivity.

“Get off zero” is the reminder to stop having a 0% allocation to bitcoin in your investment portfolio.
There is another one that’s equally as important but not that many realize it:
“Get off 100%”
This means get off 100% dependency on third-party servers and apps. Understand the implications of having all of your digital life stored in someone else’s computer/server (i.e. Apple, Google, AWS). Self-host via a @npub126n…e9ll, use @npub1235…0ht5 on an Android phone, use a Linux distro. It’s not that complicated, just takes time and dedication, just as understanding bitcoin.

I'm an Adroid user don't know about Damus. I use two clients:
Primal- It does take its time to load sometimes. DMs do load fast for me. I use it to post sometimes because I find the emoji setup easier to use.
noStrudel: This one is my go to client. Has a lot more things on it such as Communities. I really like the interface, although Primal has also done a really good job. For some reason, it won't notify me of new followers so I use Primal for that.
Alternatively, you can also try Amethyst. I never got used to its UI but I go in and play with it from time to time.

Part of Milei's economic plan, they reduced federal monthly payments to provinces and La Rioja couldn't keep up with its budget and basically went bankrupt. So they created a new currency to prop up the provincial economy. They've been giving out about USD 40 worth of chachos to individuals, where the monthly average salary is USD 240. It's a 16% gift overnight, sky will be the limit for prices IF business actually accept these.

2024-09-03 15:37:45

It's unfortunate the extent that provinces in Argentina, such as La Rioja have gone to get away from the Peso, but they've set the peg of their new currency, the "Chachos," at 1:1 to the Peso; no way to escape inflation.

3. Get rid of the Mac and buy a new laptop either with Linux already installed or flash it. I also know there is a Linux distro available for Mac. But I just shy away from their hardware.

A holder is one that as you say, views it as an investment. A bitcoiner is one that tries to apply the bitcoin ethos to everything in his life besides just owning bitcoin AND spending it: Have control of your money, have control of your data, live and work to be self-reliant, as this is true freedom. Try to be a better person every day and project this to the next generation. A bitcoiner doesn't give into the material things in life and gets lost in that, but rather sees beyond that and appreciates the good things in life, starting with family.

And it takes even a deeper level of understanding to keep buying or buy for your first time at these levels because it's still early. Bitcoin's industrial use cases are not priced in.

Some highlights of how the US would look like under Trump, as it relates to bitcoin and digital assets:
- Create a “strategic national bitcoin stockpile” for the US: Not really “creating” one, rather keeping what they have confiscated; but it’s another step in the right direction. Every single country on Earth should have bitcoin as part of their reserves.
- Prevent the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (“CBDC”): As much as I like this and believe CBDCs are the worst thing, it will only be a matter of time before the US gives in.
- Support the right to self-custody: The majority of people are not even aware what this means and it’s one of the most important things. Hopefully, this will shed some light on its importance.
- Fire current SEC Chair Gensler: It’s needed for the sake of the US not falling behind on bitcoin and digital asset adoption.
- Form a crypto industry presidential advisory council: Great as long as the bitcoiners do a good job and doesn’t become a s#!tcoin advisory council.
- Regulate bitcoin and digital assets by people who understand them: Very happy to hear this and I hope that they realize that they can’t apply analog laws to a digital world.
- America to become the undisputed bitcoin mining powerhouse: Great for energy efficiency.
I will believe all of this when I see it.

All he did was take his time to study bitcoin and understand its value instead of just sticking with the "it's used by criminals and money launderers" rhetoric.
Any fiat currency can be used for good or for bad, just like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The difference is that bitcoin runs on a public, shared ledger where all transactions can be seen by anybody; a suitcase full of cash is not reported in a public, shared ledger.

In the past, a well diversified portfolio was considered to be around 60% equity and 40% fixed income. Time has shown that this has not really been the best allocation as there is a missing component of alternative investments.
Today, a well diversified portfolio must also include bitcoin as a hedge to fiat exposure and its continuing debasement. A “rule of thumb” should be to have enough exposure to bitcoin that when the fiat-based portion eventually loses its value, the bitcoin allocation will make up for that and more.
Also, here is another version of a well diversified portfolio, highly recommend:

I truly believe that the traditional financial world has slowly been moving from a T+3 settlement window to a T+1 (with some exceptions) to get as close to cryptocurrency settlement speeds as possible. Ironically, the only way they will get to T+0 is by adopting some form of blockchain, hopefully they understand that the answer to this is Bitcoin + Lightning Network.
It would be pretty nice to say that the settlement window is B+LN instead of T+1.

Coincidence of Wants vs Coincidence of Banks
In the past, people would exchange one good for another, such as wheat for salt. The problem with this extremely siloed transaction was that both parties had to run into the coincidence that they both needed what the other had at that precise moment in time. No intermediaries and no delays, it was an analog peer-to-peer transaction where commodities were the ultimate form of money.
Money has improved since then in terms of how it’s transacted and how it moves, but it’s not even close to what it could be. Today, in order for money to move faster and more efficiently, financial institutions come together to credit and debit money for their clients. The best coincidence to move money is when both parties work with the same bank. This however is not the norm, leading to intermediation, higher costs, delays and plenty of other inefficiencies that we all have come to accept as normal.
By leveraging the Bitcoin and Lightning Network protocols, institutions can remove these inefficiencies and transform the coincidence into certainty. An institution in Europe denominated in Euros would be able to interact with an institution in Latin America denominated in Pesos as if they were one and the same. Their end users would retain the traditional fiat experience they are used to but would benefit from a better, cheaper and instant service. Finally, credit risk would be removed from the system as every transaction would be sent and settled simultaneously and instantly.
