Try to hammer this out of existence, John Kerry. Explain how winning an election will stop it.
The fever that needs to be broken is the fantasy of elite power over the collective mind. And tech like this, not an election, is what will do it.

Great privilege to be one of the final guests on What Bitcoin Did and share the results of our survey at The Nakamoto Project.

Yep. They get one shot, but that would be a great time to take it.

Imagine. During the Trump speech in Nashville, the US government sells all remaining bitcoin.

I’m not the point person there… but very positive. Andrew, Bradley, and Craig have published a piece there once before.

Co-authored a piece in Newsweek urging Dems to pivot on bitcoin. We also plug “censorship-resistant publishing protocols” and link to a story on Nostr.

We measured both

2024-06-13 07:53:37

Bitcoin is the people’s money. The network and its future belong to all of us. It’s not any better or worse than we humans.
Bitcoin’s flows of value? Millions of decisions. Gifts and exchanges. Someone is parting with one thing for something else, more valuable to them. Someone on the other side of that exchange is doing the same and both consider themselves better off in the aftermath… otherwise it wouldn’t have happened.
Bitcoin is just that, but scaled up to the globe.
And Bitcoin’s market cap reflects another human choice: to hold a non-debaseable currency over a debaseable one.
This thing is just preferences being manifested. The tech simply gave people another choice and another, more efficient and far-reaching way to do that.

Would you believe me if I said there’s no statistical relationship between political orientation and bitcoin ownership in the US?
Dropping a report soon, to that effect.

I can’t say I am great at it, and right now the scythe has a handle issue. Blisters today! But I still enjoy it. Have been scything for a few years now and also using my reel mower. Tell me about your experience.

It’s a very cool and high-stakes experiment. I don’t just want to sit and speculate about it; I want to be a part of giving it the greatest possible chances of success.

Back from Oslo. Almost no sleep. Got up early and wrote a couple hundred words (low quality, but something), got the kids off to school, scythed the lawn, did a mace/ kettlebell workout outside in the back alley, played 10 minutes of Bach and now back to writing. NOSTR life off to a promising start.

Just all the cool stuff coming here and I want to be a part of it and stay on top of developments. Lots of folks inspired the commitment including Matt but also Lyn, Jeff, Jack, and others.
Lyn made the point that she uses Nostr for her hottest and least filtered takes and I really liked that idea.

That doesn’t seem to stop the rug pullers.

Inspired to move my thinking over to this platform. Will then take the edge off for the Twitter audience.

Imagine nostr becomes wildly popular. Then it could become the AI censorship Death Star. https://twitter.com/perpetualmaniac/status/1675287728555167744?s=46&t=z8UE7xH1Oq1lkaJCi5kisw

I always end up talking bitcoin with Uber drivers. They often have a history of shitcoining and are quick to see what makes bitcoin special.

2023-05-04 14:31:35

What is the easiest guide to onboarding ppl to nostr? I need ONE place to send ppl.

What we will see in the coming years is the market valuing permanent, immutable publication of arbitrary data vs permanent, immutable publication of updates to a ledger. How does capital value these two against each other?
Another question is how do humans value these two against each other. As capital is concentrated in just a few hands… that is a very different question.
I’m uncertain on both.

I always find it hard to keep focus towards the end for that reason. “OMG, I didn’t screw up yet, I guess here it comes?!” & that takes me out of flow.
Beginning is also hard.

Sats are showing up in my wallet and I’m sending to others, but not to notes. As soon as I figure out a client that lets me zap notes I’ll be spreading the wealth.

Yeah I don’t see the lightning bolts, but figured that is my client: Damus on iOS but not the beta, which is full.
