Bitcoin has no counter party risk, yet you can transfer it anywhere in the world instantly. This is its most important aspect of bitcoin that big money still just doesn't understand. It is the *perfect* money for international settlement.

Today is the anniversary of Executive Order 6102. 90 years ago some bureaucrats decided to steal the gold from all US citizens, and they got away with it. Is your bitcoin safe from confiscation? Move your bitcoin to your own keys today!

Looking for someone (or multiple folks) to host a regular “room” on Vida about new Nostr stuff. Will automatically pay the host sats for every person in the room, and also pay sats to every viewer/participant in the room. Rooms can be streamed to Twitter/Youtube/Twitch for extra reach if you want. If interested, shoot me a DM or ping me on Vida.

During an economic crisis, the prevention of money supply destruction (bailing out bond holders by guaranteeing debt at par) can have a significant inflationary effect even while demand is falling. Money usually gets destroyed in conjunction with demand. Not allowing this while the supply of critical commodities (like oil, chips, safe supply lanes) also falls is a dangerous combination.

One of the biggest things people just don’t understand about bitcoin: bitcoiners are everywhere…global. every day people are working toward a future built on sound money all over the world. stacking away, reducing supply of a finite commodity. it’s not going to stop.

Bitcoin just continuing to do what bitcoin does over time: go up. Halving line (pink) in sight. So many try to over complicate. Just chill in cold storage (and keep some zapping sats ready!). image

Been getting back into a push-ups routine throughout the day. I’m up to sets > 50, trying to work my way back up to 100. Haven’t been able to do a set of 100 in a longggg time but screw getting old

The problem with banks is not that they lack some form of regulation, or need some new kind of public backstop, it’s that they don’t have your f**cking money and instead speculate with it.

If you haven’t watched this GPT-4 video you probably should. I recommend reading the paper as well. Stuff is moving much faster than I expected and I have quite a bit of ML experience. So much money will be printed to patch over the societal impacts of this. Hodl bitcoin.
