My Weekend Farmer’s Market Agenda:
1) Print some “Bitcoin is good for business” brochures from @npub18kp…69c4
2) Grab some cool signs and stickers from @npub1sus…67g2
3) Visit your local farmer’s market and strike up some friendly conversations with a few merchants.
4) Give them a brochure & a sticker.
5 Come back next week to see if they have any questions.
Tips: Don’t be pushy. Sometimes just planting the seed is enough for them to take it more seriously. Be mindful of other customers looking to buy things & buy something yourself if you want. I like to go for the smaller merchants who have more time for conversation.
Bonus: Order a free set of “Got Inflation? Save in Bitcoin” yard signs and stake them somewhere for the people to see. https://image.nostr.build/e36cd09da48dfbf2bcfac9215a653a64123626aed6b17b1f8cb468936bed1e62.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7993e9b649a13c492b0cdb82a47423eef3cc18b1650779f7483e57162d5c98a9.jpg

I found this little library in Springfield, Virginia near Lake Accotink Park. It must have been a popular one as it was jam packed with books.
I hope someone picks up this copy of Decrypting Money and learns a thing or two about the best money humans have ever discovered. https://image.nostr.build/f4127ffaba8be8a9cdc99ce7f5020f40f4c2a31688329ee832cfd394928b066f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/600fe6f2dca078227592bb5d73c1f3fdbd28f3abc62f0472eb0ec75cf6057ba3.jpg

Winds picked up yesterday ahead of a thunderstorm that rolled in last night so I braved the heat and sent up the #StudyBitcoin kite.

We had our first #Bitcoin Book Club in Washington DC and it was a success! We had a great time discussing The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier.
We talked, we laughed, people won some sats from a little Book Trivia and we picked our next book: The Genesis Book by @npub1art…m0w5
If you’re in the DMV area & would like to join, let me know! https://image.nostr.build/2f799ced3b708bc4055f18429b41d9eb0b5c41bab3a9a09de199f106b46d8717.jpg

Are there any #Bitcoin book clubs out there? I started one in DC and our first meeting is in a couple of weeks. We are discussing The Blocksize War! I’m expecting 10-15 people and I’m super exited.
I’ll end with some book trivia (with prize sats for best answers) and I’m also giving away a copy of @npub1yez…awc7 😎
Does Nostr have any other ideas to make this an awesome event?

I ventured out to Wilmington, NC this weekend for a little rest & relaxation. The weather was great & the water & sand felt amazing.
I brought a copy of Intro to #Bitcoin by Erin Malone & found a cute little library for my 57th #BitcoinBookDrop

I took the journey all the way to the World Bank HQ after work today. I made it to chapter 9 of Hidden Repression by @npub1trr…hdpu as I walked up, just in time to read “The Development Set” poem by Ross Coggins.
It’s hitting a little differently now. 🤯 https://image.nostr.build/ecee39d7bfb33444664253b764c12881c95d4b89939e53a364bdbc508ef8be27.jpg https://image.nostr.build/0949d3c1fde09f4711096001220a7fd612e982a7273abaf9528481a42b9da9c2.jpg

I walked into an empty café tonight to finish reading my book (The Price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth).
I thought it was open late but it had actually closed 10 minutes prior 😭 The owner was kind enough to make me a coffee anyway and while I waited I asked if he accepted #Bitcoin as payment. Of course he said no but we ended up having a nice chat about it.
Orange-pilling doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply bringing up Bitcoin in a friendly way to a stranger can plant seeds that will grow as they hear more & more about it.
People are going to see & hear a lot more about Bitcoin as the number goes up. I think that having a real-world experience, like my convo with this coffee shop owner, can give them the nudge to take it seriously.
Oh & I left him with a sticker from the folks over at @npub18kp…69c4 😎 https://image.nostr.build/7cada6bc3770e21da6b7680bd545c559d9535ea821d0266da3e4a2682a4487c6.jpg

I took the day off to drive out to Princeton for a book talk with @npub1a2c…w83a and stumbled across The Pole Farm in nearby Lawrenceville, PA.
In 1929, AT&T purchased 820 acres of land and built the world's largest shortwave radiotelephone transmitting station. Thousands of antenna poles were erected, giving it the nickname “The Pole Farm”.
These antennas facilitated the transmission of millions of international calls across the Atlantic to Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
AT&T shut down service in 1975 as advancements in satellite technology rendered the station obsolete.
As I walked through the park, I couldn’t help but think about all the technological innovation that had to proceed #Bitcoin before it could become what it is today: a global, scarce, permissionless, decentralized, immutable, pseudonymous, secure & transparent digital money the world has ever seen.
I also thought about how quickly technological innovation can render previous technology obsolete. I pondered how #Bitcoin will inevitably do to gold & fiat what satellites did to The Pole Farm. It’s not a question of “if” but “when”.
Anyway, back to sipping my coffee before heading to the talk! https://image.nostr.build/7860085e95441e03c5db3b54227435216221ab848de082eb22c2d46a8d8e0f51.jpg https://image.nostr.build/24d3783820bd4e94fe0860465255b2ac9a56feab4cc745322509485cb53326d5.jpg https://image.nostr.build/baaf90515712599e7ff42be6d9bd98b403fb185fb06e1d2454ba7d7f89d47fb1.jpg https://image.nostr.build/6c1e2cbe549540ab638f272ff54afd4239d692d64ad94ce54a0dab1e003bfe01.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e503e1612e2bb6130624bec7a951d1f235284d4e8f22d968ded692aa7b7e6a7b.jpg https://image.nostr.build/78e548e9d0f65327ac1799768b5ae2b7bc899e963c173097fc510dea0428479e.jpg

Do any other Bitcoiners out there feel a deep sense of urgency to tell as many people as possible about Bitcoin? I've heard of others feeling this but it often doesn’t last. I imagine many try to orange-pill their friends and family with limited success only to give up and go back to quietly stacking their own sats.
I don't think I'm just going through my orange-pilling phase. I'm always thinking of creative ways to spread the good word of Satoshi. I started with my first #BitcoinBookDrop project where I buy educational Bitcoin books, read them and then drop copies in those Little Free Libraries you find all over the country. I know people are picking them up (because I've gone back and checked the next day) but I can only hope that they're actually being read and put back into circulation for many others to read.
I know more and more people will take Bitcoin seriously as the number goes up, but I want as many plebs front-running Wall Street as possible.
I'll wrap up by sharing a few pics of my latest book drop of "Broken Money" by @npub1a2c…w83a in the adorable "Cactus Corner" Little Free Library in Old Town Alexandria.
Sincerely,

The snowfall yesterday closed down much of DC so I took to the quiet streets to find a beautiful little library to drop a copy of The Bitcoin Standard by @npub1gdu…6nak
This time I added a little note for future Bitcoiners 🤓📚

Pro tip:
Use a reputable Bitcoin-only exchange (if you’re ok with KYC) to buy $10/day and when you’ve built up enough sats (remember UTXO size matters for on-chain transactions), move it to cold storage OR send smaller amounts to your own non-custodial lightning wallet.
Do you agree? What is your DCA strategy?

I’ve been binging The Great Pottery Throw Down while bedridden for 2 days recovering from food poisoning. I don’t watch much TV nowadays but I think I really liked this one because there’s a proof of work aspect to it. Seeing all the work that goes into crafting a beautiful ceramic from start to finish is fascinating and inspiring.
I’ve always had a creative streak myself. I dabbled with poetry in grade school and doodled relentlessly until I graduated college. But since I started working for fiat in 9-5 jobs I haven’t really spent any time flexing those creative muscles.
#Bitcoin gives me hope that I’ll one day have the stability to exit the fiat rat race and tap into the creative side I once knew & loved. 🤓 🎨 https://image.nostr.build/f7091d1bd4b49fbd4774f9fa983262350331f01c650c2a31a5579da092b9a2d0.jpg

My first book drop of the year is Broken Money by @npub1a2c…w83a
I drove all the way up to this Little Free Library in Northeast DC. It was so full with books I had to cram it in there!
If you’ve finished Lyn’s book, consider dropping it in a little library for many others to read.

I flew the #StudyBitcoin kite closer to the Capitol side of the National Mall today at sunset. The wind was ripping today! 🥶
I think a few passersby were curious & took photos.. or they didn’t care and were just taking pics of the Capitol 😅 https://image.nostr.build/6ce73ef9df213f4c7760539a0d012e2a5ab4b1b245911ed278de7f8e946f5df0.jpg https://image.nostr.build/417ac020792754ce3baf186efa80914ae22ffde4f486bbbcc731a5e799dad800.jpg

Anyone from Nashville know where exactly this library is located?

My current spot Bitcoin ETF theory:
Blackrock files BTC ETF ✅
SEC delays ✅
Blackrock seeds BTC ETF ✅
Blackrock files ETH ETF ✅
SEC flat out rejects ETH ETF
BTC tanks as market is spooked
Blackrock stacks more Bitcoin
SEC approves all spot BTC ETFs
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
What do you think? 🤔

I took to the streets of DC with my flashy #StudyBitcoin Halloween costume yesterday and it sparked many interesting conversations. Here are some of the things I learned...
1) I need to work on my Bitcoin elevator pitch! It's really important to have a quick & relatable explanation of what Bitcoin is and the problems it solves when the orange-pilling window of opportunity is short. 😅
2) Many thought I worked for Bitcoin which tells me that they associate it with some kind of corporation or business. I explained that Bitcoin is a global monetary network companies can build on, similar to how a company can be built atop the internet. 🌐
3) Most do not know the difference b/w Bitcoin and the rest of "crypto". 🤦‍♂️
4) A few thought I was out to sell them something which is understandable given we're bombarded with ads 24/7/365. They seemed surprised when I said I just believed in Bitcoin so much that I spent my time & money to build an elaborate costume just to raise awareness. 😊
5) Handing out tipcards loaded up with real Bitcoin is really fun. My redemption rate so far has been very low, but I think most are too skeptical and need some time to look into it before downloading a strange wallet to get a strangers' free sats. 🤔
6) I'm an introvert who avoids attention like the plague but got pretty comfy walking around in my costume. I even jumped onstage for a costume contest! The only cheers I got came from friends (I lost) but I was happy to have a hundred ppl thinking about Bitcoin for 5 mins. 🕺
7) I got way more positive shout outs than I expected. I got a few fist bumps, honking cars and a few asked for photos. One guy even shouted a price prediction at me🤣
8) It's VERY important NOT to tell people to buy Bitcoin. Someone, somewhere is always trying to sell us something but orange-pilling should be about encouraging others to study & learn. I think if you lead them to the rabbit hole, they'll fall in just like I did. 🐇 https://image.nostr.build/372696f778816312e93915a25a5e1156de4aa2eb99098eef74b0093e3e223b13.jpg

Story of my life now

2023-10-28 14:54:15

While most people will be celebrating Halloween this weekend, many of us Bitcoiners will also be celebrating the 15th year since Satoshi published the Bitcoin Whitepaper.
#BitcoinWhitepaperDay

2023-10-24 10:24:13

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about the Bitcoin pump but what excites me more are all of the orange pill opportunities that come with it. As much as we want folks to study bitcoin during the bear markets, sadly the only thing that will spark interest are pumps like these. Be humble & have your orange spill ready!

@npub1s33…252p poses that a 1mil bitcoin would be a good place to start with a BTC backed loan but I’m curious how fast the capital flight and demand drop might play out once a spot ETF is approved. 🧐

2023-10-18 10:55:22

I’m hesitant to buy my first home because I don’t know how much capital is going to flow from current stores of value (gold, real estate) into #Bitcoin and how much demand might fall when BTC goes mainstream. Perhaps renting to save money and stacking sats until we hit a million bucks is a better strategy before taking a bitcoin loan to buy a home? Does anyone else feel the same or have any thoughts?
