Just messing with filter effects on a drawing I just did. (Unfiltered/filtered.)

Another open letter to Ulrich Bindseil and Jürgen Schaaf of the ECB! Had to bring out some Gigi for them!

I agree with this. So, if someone is fine with the machine running “as is” I’d say it’s fine to vote for either candidate. Or not vote at all. I’d say the only vote that matters now is the protest vote. Writing-in a different type of person whose values genuinely align with yours. That way, in one tiny little way, when the votes are tabulated, some tired-eyed vote counter has the thought: “huh, that’s a bit different.” A tiny ripple of life and original thought in a mostly dead ocean. But, contrapuntally, if your thought is “I choose not to vote because I want rules without rulers,” well, shit, I can’t fault you at all for that either.

Satoshi stole fire from false gods and gave it to man. (AI generated.)

Reality in layers. (Original pen & ink)

I’s everywhere.

It seems to me that higher forms of will, just like satoshis, will never be free. They both take work to produce.

Promethean Satoshi stole the fire from the would-be gods of central banks, and built the Tyger, the anvil, and the forge for us all. The symmetry of #Bitcoin is terrifying to them. 😏 So for this next Difficult(y) Poem, we have William Blake’s “The Tyger.” https://youtu(dot)be/TKdEzhfQN-U?si=oszTLHVP58o5-lBP Seems YouTube videos can’t easily be clicked from NOSTR so just replace the “(dot)” in the url above with a “.” in your browser.

Dropping a new Difficult(y) Poem for Block Cycle 828,576 to 830,592 This one is "Coping Prana" by Will Alexander

This letter that I hope never to receive is precisely why I will allocate precious little of my money towards #Bitcoin  ETFs.

Cosmo Crixter here again, announcing Poem #2 in the “Difficult(y) Poems” series. For #Bitcoin  Block Cycle 826,560 to 828,576 I offer you “The Panther” by Rainer Maria Rilke (translated by Stephen Mitchell):

Bitcoiners, Happy New Year! Today I’m announcing (here on Nostr first) a new series I’m beginning: “Difficult(y) Poems” I’ll be filming/reciting a poem each ~2 weeks to commemorate Bitcoin’s 2016 Block Cycle and the Difficulty Adjustment that comes at the beginning of each one. I intend to choose poems that are time tested, significant, and fascinating… like Bitcoin. The first poem I’m reciting is “Pied Beauty” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. I chose Hopkins for the peculiar rhythmic style of his poetry, which he called “sprung rhythm.” Enjoy! Warmly, Cosmo Crixter
