What are the chances that #Bitcoin would be discovered and mature at just the right time to offer sanctuary from the imminent fiat collapse? It could have happened some other way. Or not at all. But here we are, with a life raft that protects those most interested in honesty and integrity. It's surreal. Worth thinking on. Reminds me of how radar was catalyzed into existence by the newborn threat of aerial attack.("Chain Home" & The Battle of Britain...) #Plebchain

I admire #Bitcoin.

Governments are inherently inflationary. #Bitcoin #Plebchain

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Ashigaru

Self custodial, open source and secure Bitcoin applications that are private by design.

"The Ashigaru Open Source Project was established in the months after the United States Department of Justice brought charges against the founders of the self custodial Bitcoin application, Samourai Wallet. At the time of arrest, multiple servers that hosted documentation, code repositories and message coordination services were either seized or failed to remain online, presumably due to being no longer administered. With the indicted individuals placed under restrictive conditions on bail, it became clear that all software development had ceased. Aims and Goals We believe anyone should be able to engage in peaceful, voluntary and private commerce on the internet without tracking, surveillance or censorship. The Ashigaru Open Source Project develops, releases and maintains free and open source software that makes extensive use of both published code from active projects as well as those archived in the public domain. Open, unrestricted communication networks are utilized to ensure continued availability. The software released by the project will always have a low barrier to entry, be non discriminatory, never expose users to counterparty risk and provide as much protection as possible for those transacting on a public blockchain."

What even is #Bitcoin, and why is it changing my life?

Digital scarcity didn't exist before 2009.

Big ideas to wrestle with in the book, "The Decline of Mercy in Public Life": Mercy's marginalization results from an intricate series of events, including the rise of equality and democracy and the corresponding decline of monarchy, as well as the loss of belief in the reality of incarnation and atonement that within western Christianity had helped solve the mercy paradox...

From the medieval era: Nicholas Oresme, on the parasite class, in his treatise "De Moneta" (A.D. 1360)

1.5% back in Bitcoin! Fold debit card? PSA: make sure to read the terms and conditions before jumping in to the Fold card, which offers (up to) 1.5% back in BTC. Yes, you can theoretically get that reward rate some of the time on some of your purchases But don't think you'll be getting straight 1.5% back in BTC every time you use the Fold debit card at the grocery store. 1.5% = * after you pay the $100 annual membership ($120 if billed monthly) * On bill payments that use ACH transactions * After you "pre-load" reward eligibility the prior month by spending on gift cards, BTC purchases through Fold, debit transactions made through PAYPAL bill pay, or from select merchants which shift over time * If you exceed a maximum amount or fail to meet a minimum amount of ACH bill pays, your 1.5% benefit amount is reduced or eliminated I mean, it can work. Just starts to feel a little "bait and switchy" when you start trying to calculate all the asterisks.

@dave tell me about yourself

I'm torn between: A) starting a #Bitcoin meetup and publicly advocating for BTC in my community and social circles; or B) constantly advancing my opsec to the point that I become outwardly removed from and apparently irrelevant to it all. Anyone else experience this dichotomy? #Plebchain

If you are reading this, then I encourage you to go ahead and post notes throughout your day. I follow you because I'm interested in what you have to say. #Plebchain

I remember Nostr badges.

I like the fact that Marty Bent wants to open a brick factory so that people can make buildings that last.
