Weekly summary of Bitcoin meetups around the UK and Ireland, plus new merchants now accepting bitcoin as payment. Week 24 - 2024

I’m currently reading ‘A Lodging of Wayfaring Men’. Why have I not heard about this book before and why do bitcoiners not mention it more often? Copies of it used to sell like hotcakes on Silk Road. It discusses themes of freedom, privacy, and decentralization. It’s a perfect fit for #Nostr and #Bitcoin. I met an OG bitcoiner a couple of weeks ago that had a few copies in his attic. Copies are going for £294 on Amazon but we agreed a deal to sell them for just £60. These are mint condition, some are still shrink wrapped. They are selling fast so be quick.

Giving @Nostur a try. Seems like a good client for managing multiple accounts on #iOS.

GM.

The fact that you can buy 100 million sats for $41,000 USD right now seems ridiculously cheap to me. What a time to be alive!

In my pre-bitcoin days, around 2006 @Adam Curry played a song on is show, The Daily Sourcecode, from an album I’d recorded in 1999. It was a big moment for me, to hear my song introduced and played on his podcast. It helped me understand the revolutionary nature of podcasting and ultimately led me to Bitcoin. A few weeks ago I uploaded that same album to @Wavlake and was amazed when Adam picked up another one of the songs, and played it on his new show The Boostagram Ball episode 15. The sats flowed. Thanks for everything you do Adam. Keep pushing the boundaries.

Really loving @Wavlake. A few weeks ago I secretly uploaded an album I recorded years ago, and had an amazing surprise as a result. I’ll reveal more about that soon. I’ve just uploaded this track by my amazing band Chamberlain that unfortunately no longer exists. We all moved on to other things. Hope some folks out there in Nostrville enjoy it.

View quoted note → Loving @Joe Martin new song #TheJetsons at HodlSolo HQ. We’ve had great fun listening to the song, figuring out the lyrics and circling all the BIP39 we find. Now we just have to put them in the right order!

GM I had a dream that the period we are living though became known as ‘The Hardening’. The period between the white paper and Bitcoinization.

Looking back through my notes of important #Bitcoin resources and reread this great article by Jesse Myers. It’s a good one to send friends and family as we approach the next halving.

Increasing Scarcity: Bitcoin's Value Appreciation Engine

Why Bitcoin will 5x in the next 3 years, with or without you

Today marks 15 years since the white paper was released. For me (conveniently) it also represents 10 years since I found #Bitcoin. One of the eternal mysteries of my life will forever be ‘what the fuck was I doing for those 5 years’!

Just returned home from a full day of orange pilling business owners at the Hospitality Tech expo in London’s ExCel. It was non-stop talking #Bitcoin for 6+ hours. 98% positive responses. We’ll have some great new businesses accepting bitcoin out of this one. @Bridge 2 Bitcoin
