Bitcoin is counter-culture: leaderless, permissionless, trustless, censorship-resistant, and discussed at an unconference.

In the late 80ies and early 90ties I spent all my time on molecular and cellular biology which earned me a PhD in the natural sciences. This is not a bragging exercise but the preamble to a book recommendation. Granted I studied three decades ago, it is nevertheless amazing how much more clarity and insights I get from Nick Lane‘s books. Had he been my professor then I might never have gone down the software engineering path, might have missed Bitcoin altogether 😬. So, if you have a friend or family member who studies biology - here is the perfect gift 🍀. #biology #mitochondria #energy #life #genesis

I find it both fascinating and surprising how much of the publishing world (including posts and podcasts) is increasingly synchronized daily, with ideas starting with a thought leader on one end of the world and ending with a poll among the people on the other within 24 hours. I admire people who take the time to breed their own ideas to fruition. And I need to remind myself to be more critical of what I read, even if it sounds compelling at first: do I really want to read, digest, and adopt it? Or do I let it pass?

Congratulations to

The Nutty Pill

The investment legend of the last decades is sitting on a record cash balance. What is the next rational move?

Prepare for longer offline journey by downloading podcasts in #Fountain. Go offline. Works for a little while then I am kicked out and need to log back in. Is it just me or is Fountain online only?

Within 15 minutes, we added Bitcoin payments to an existing WooCommerce store using LNbits with the OnchainWallet and SatsPay extensions, offering the option to pay via lightning or on-chain. This is a fantastic display of perfect interplay between standard components 🤙

impression of Harlingen

Live freely, be open, welcoming, flexible, and playful, and appreciate the depth of human interactions. Be the real you - always.

Last Friday, I sold my boat, MARANEA, after five years of intensive sailing. It was a fabulous experience, alone, with friends, or with family. First and foremost, it has brought me closer to the elements and allowed me to learn how to work with nature. Of course, this is also sad, but I believe I've found the right moment to say goodbye. Letting go is a natural part of life and enables me to stay free. #sailing #life #nature
