Fascinating that Bhutan is among the first nation-states to adopt Bitcoin. Anyone know the origin story? Cant find it in detail online. A revelation born from spiritual practice and a long devote connection to gold? Or a pragmatic move by a hydro-power-rich nation recognizing its natural advantage?

Built a water tank structure last week to supply a client’s off-grid garden—all while listening to @breedlove22 ‘s recent Softwar episode. Amazing how podcasts let me tackle hands-on work while absorbing some of the most revolutionary ideas of our time. image

Spent the weekend in Cairns Australia with some Argentinian’s. Lovely people, and so nice to hear directly from people who’ve faced some of the economic challenges I fear may be coming to my country. Grateful to live in Australia, and grateful for the opportunity of Bitcoin.

I spent the morning chatting with friends deeply immersed in the ‘crypto’ world. They argued that technology always evolves, so in their view, Bitcoin (BTC) will eventually become obsolete. I countered by pointing out that gold has served as money for thousands of years because of its unique and enduring qualities - and that btc improves on those qualities 10x fold. This reminded me of the peace that comes from understanding Bitcoin—the simplicity and clarity. Curious what other points could be made?

Anyone out there monetising waste through BTC mining and domestic waste furnaces? Attached an image of Copenhagen’s power plant that converts domestic waste to city power. I’m traveling Indonesia and plastic waste is everywhere - seems like two birds one stone opportunity image

People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as "parasites" fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognized by its host, one that can make its host work for it without appearing as a burden. #centralbanks #bitcoin
