Bitcoin is.

Today I sold my MG Magna L-Type. The car was built in 1933 and participated in numerous hill climbs and circuit races since. I had a lot of fun with the car on the road and naturally also spent countless hours restoring/improving it with the help of a professional garage.

Some quotes copied from "National Emergency: Executive Order 6102 and the Heist of the Century", an excellent article by Julian Fahrer and, imho, important for Bitcoiners to factor into their strategy. "Realizing that the government is not your friend is like learning that Santa Claus isn’t real. A necessary part of growing up, but a potentially traumatic fact that needs to be introduced to children carefully." The method with which gold confiscation was made legal was described in the article as "More like a Frankensteinian chimera lab rat fed plutonium for breakfast." "History has shown that the invocation of national emergencies has, time and time again, given the United States government almost unlimited capacity to encroach on civil liberties." "The […] answer is to do a basic pattern match between 1933 and today. People had money the government couldn’t control; Government wasn’t happy; Government stole the money. No more analysis required: the Feds will steal your stuff." @Bitcoin Magazine

National Emergency: Executive Order 6102 And The Heist Of The Century

A comprehensive history of the events leading up to the historic Executive Order 6102 under FDR that led to widespread gold confiscation in the Uni...

Just realized: If you quote your products in fiat you need to put an expiration date. If you quote in Bitcoin this is not necessary as products will automatically get more expensive the longer the customers waits.

I am operating the #cashu mint https://mint.mountainlake.io - feel free to use it (responsibly).

I imagine that a non-zero number of Bitcoiners have used vanity seed phrases of some non-trivial sorts. Did anyone ever "find" such Bitcoin? In addition to finding small hashes we can now also mine the human psyche for coins.

I finished reading "Fraud Coin - 1000 Years with Inflation as a Policy" by @Rune Østgård. Great for people who wish to get a solid 30,000 ft overview of what is happening in the financial world and how this affects all of us. Most people would probably prefer to read about more joyful topics. If you read this book and take decisive action, you will likely be able to read whatever you want whenever you want (just ignore the fact that I am already in that position and still choose to read Rune's excellent book). You will find a lot of straight truths like: "The voters' belief of whether the government has contributed to growth or precipitated a recession is a decisive factor for a sitting government's reelection. All incumbent governments also know that raising interest rates when necessary is likely to burst the bubbles, predictably leading to a lost election and inevitable change of government. Therefore, everyone in government is incentivized to convince the central bank to pursue an expansionary monetary policy with low interest rates that can create the illusion of growth, encouraging people to increase their borrowing, thus heightening the demand for more goods and services."

Great citadel dispatch in which you learn how eCash and Cashu work, why nostr was a gift from Heaven, and what the term "layer" means to @calle. https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/CitadelDispatch/cd120-bitcoin-powered-chaumian-ecash-with-calle.

The most empowering feeling I experience is letting things go. Life is naturally overwhelming: an entire universe calls for our attention, while our capacity to read, learn, understand, and apply is finite. If I am stressed (happening rarely), I cherish the stress as an essential signal (no kidding) and take a break to re-prioritize. Realize that you are the master of your life, and unload to the point where you enjoy working on the rest. The week, the month, the year, and life each perhaps deserve its priorities. In my concrete situation (silver beard, lots of time at my disposal, and lots of projects running), I feel this is the moment to drop serious coding (which I loved) 🍀 .

Switched on the pre-amp. What should I send through the wires?
