The day the success of Bitcoin depends on what politician is in office somewhere is the day it has failed.

A politician being pro-bitcoin is like a prison warden being pro- lock picking.

Unpopular opinion: Bitcoin does not need politicians, state entities, or legal tender mechanisms to succeed. It only needs for them to get out of the way.

I normally use #Damus on iOS for nostr, and is what I used to create my keypair, follows list, etc. It works well. I am trying to get my desktop browser setup working through the #nos2x extension to Chrome, and that part was easy. Nsec entered, same relay list added, etc. However, after logging into snort.social I only get really partial information. It has my followers list intact, but my following list only has a couple accounts, and nearly all my posts are missing. Is there something more I should be doing?

Coyote creek trail head, south San Jose, CA. Life is good.

Touching grass…

One of my biking routes takes me through some local farmland just south of the city. Also, enjoying the wildfire smoke blowing in from Oregon 😏

Rejoining the Bitcoin “community” after a few years away. Ditched Twitter a while back, so it’s good to see a few of the OGs here and many, many new faces. Probably won’t get up to much coding but I’m excited by technical developments in both bitcoin and now nostr. My professional career is still focused on digital signal processing, machine learning/AI, and scientific computing and simulation, but those topics don’t seem to have much crossover interest with bitcoiners 😏

GM bitcoin peeps

Good morning, to those of you for whom it is a good morning.

Tapered off and quit most social media a year ago. Reconnecting here now with a few people from the past…

Found the cool kids again.
