"Broken Money" by @Lyn Alden is a brilliant read. It covers a broad range of highly relevant insights and technologies that are essential to those who wish to understand. Lyn found a clean style of punching strait and without lingering for too long on a subject that can be dealt with swiftly. She observes sharply without blaming but she also does not mince words and calls bs where necessary - and necessary it is. 1A Insight . You can easily get it at

I think we can do ourselves a big favor by ignoring Bitcoin‘s exchange rates for the next eight weeks. If your position is leveraged consider unwinding.

“Thus the whole fabric of our vast commerce is found to depend upon the improbability that the merchants and other customers of the banks will ever want, simultaneously and suddenly, so much as one-twentieth part of the gold money which they have a right to receive on demand at any moment during banking hours.” W. Stanley Jevons in “Broken Money” by @Lyn Alden . Jevon’s text was published in 1875 and it seems that the banking sector was working more on diminishing the likelihood of depositors wanting their money back than on establishing a sound banking system with a high asset/liability duration integrity. This “fabric” will be torn to pieces. Prepare.

Really enjoyed each of these

I just booked my flight to

Bitcoin Atlantis

A Bitcoin only conference in Madeira Island, in the middle of the Atlantic.

and am looking forward to this mega event. I was totally surprised to see that I could pay for the flight with "Miles & More" miles I collected ages ago (between 2000 and 2007). So, it seems that airline miles are a much better SoV than most shitcoins.

I am looking for a nginx freak who is eager to solve a silly stupid problem (ssl reverse proxy setup to upstream service) for sats. Plz DM me if you are interested.

„The new Solana blockchain promised to process up to sixty-five thousand transactions a second. Sam had no independent ability to evaluate the thing, but he asked people who did and soon decided that Solana might be the crypto of the future. Even if it wasn't, Solana's story was good enough that other people might see it that way and drive up the price of its token. Eighteen months later, Alameda owned roughly 15 percent of all Solana tokens, most purchased at twenty-five cents apiece. The market price of Solana had gone as high as $249, a thousand-times increase on what Sam had paid for the tokens, and the face value of Sam's entire stash was roughly $12 billion. It was hard to know the resale value of such a huge stake.“ - in „Going Infinite“ by Michael Lewis. „WHY DO YOU POST THIS?“ you might ask. I doubt Sam did‘t understand. He didn’t care. KNOW ONE THING: If you are trading shitcoins you are „picking up pennies in front of a steamroller“ and you have no idea who is seeding the pennies and who is driving the steamroller. You will lose it all unless you sell it to someone else who will lose it all for you. WANT THIS? Ok then. Otherwise: STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS.

A friend has written a novel. Now, he would like to have his characters visualized and asked me (of all people) how to get this done. Specifically, he is looking for renderings that look like sketches rather than photo-realistic representations. Can anyone help with recommendations for tools or actual work?

I have been drawn to #Bitcoin for ten years because I perceive its design and performance as pure. For me, purity stems from Bitcoin functioning predictably and with minimal reliance on individual human input. The reverse means that I came to view human contributions as inherently messy. It is unclear to me how we want to weave Bitcoin into our society without coating it with the messy human layer. What do you expect from a Bitcoin association? Do you view it as closer to Bitcoin or closer to an association and the typical quirks that come with it?

While the tradfi geniuses are finally starting to overcome their reservations and legal obstacles for #Bitcoin, they are going to be infected like everybody else and will blow this market out of the water.

Reading five books, learning rust, keeping my node running, answering questions on Bitcoin - it is not by lack of interest that I am not interacting with nostriches. Amazing how some people manage all of the above and much more and still keep a public presence 🤙🏻.

Prison is an embarrassingly stupid answer to humanity‘s problems. Obviously. And I am embarrassed of not offering a better alternative. Free U(lbricht)S(nowden)A(ssange)

You are not too late, ever. There is a path for any combination of [knowledge level, age group, available time, and goal]. It is worth spending the time on plotting a realistic journey. #bitcoin #life

"nouuuster", "naastr" - why not just listen to @Ben Arc and adopt?

The "suites" (@ODELL) are trying to stop us. Take it easy; there is a lot of "meantime". Perhaps I lived half of my (59 years!) life in the fucking "meantime". This is where the truly important stuff happens. Happy Meantime, @TheNostrFriends.

(am I abusing nostr? is this part of nostr? - I'd bet on no 2) @tonyaldon - your lnroom.live exercises are totally amazing. Bravo!! It is niche-y, I get it ... but long-term... invaluable! - in the RUST lnroom #19 I get the following error: "lightning@mlbb4:~/myplugin$ cargo build Compiling myplugin v0.1.0 (/home/lightning/myplugin) error[E0432]: unresolved import `cln_rpc::model::GetinfoRequest` --> src/main.rs:1:15 | 1 | use cln_rpc::{model::GetinfoRequest, ClnRpc, Request, Response}; | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no `GetinfoRequest` in `model` | = help: consider importing this struct instead: cln_rpc::model::requests::GetinfoRequest For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0432`. error: could not compile `myplugin` (bin "myplugin") due to previous error"
