I’m curious to know how it will all end (aka develop into a new peaceful world order). Right now the “haves” are doing alright; they own solid assets such as gold, real estate and #Bitcoin. The “have nots” are struggling, living week to week and gradually turning to lawlessness (I cite shoplifting of what one might call basic goods from stores to back this up). I can only see this division becoming more extreme before… what? Should I transfer assets to a bank vault? Hire a security guard? Do I have to buy a shotgun? Should I text a fence tipped with razor wire? How do we transition to the peaceful uplands? Any thoughts out there?

Round and round it goes, where it ends everyone knows. #Bitcoin

GM. I know it’s kind of sad to check the price of #Bitcoin in the morning but some days it really perks me up.

It’s pleasing that some UK politicians are now on Nostr - well done @Rt Hon Steve Baker FRSA. However, It’s hard to find party affiliations on either his Nostr profile or his website. 🤔 To save you having to search: he was a Conservative MP who lost High Wycombe to Labour in 2024

Are #Bitcoin backed IOUs coming soon to USA?

Sooo close…

Here is the full text of Satoshi Nakamoto’s #Bitcoin white paper. You might have to zoom in to read it, but as a general rule for Bitcoin it’s better if you zoom out.

“My £250 Child Trust Fund is now worth only £12.” No schadenfreude, please.

Child Trust Fund: 'My £250 investment is now worth only £12'

Max Prince was shocked to discover that surprise fees had left him with just £12.39 in his trust fund.

Help! An update concerning our choir and members of the committee who are worried about #Bitcoin. One opinion was that “a drug dealer from Guatemala might send us 1,000 Bitcoins” and we would be done for money laundering. I have been asked to remove the lightning QR code!! First, apologies to all Guatemalans. Second, I would love it if anyone felt like making a small donation to the choir at https://chorale21.org.uk/news/a-21st-century-choir.

@Alby is an awesome #Bitcoin Lightning setup (Hub and Go). I set it up but how to transfer all Sats from @Wallet of Satoshi (sorry guys) to this new, more self-sovereign home? I wanted to transfer everything but was told I had to leave 3% behind for Lightning fees. The answer, transfer 90%, and then 90% of the remainder, etc, etc. Eventually I was left needing to transfer 20 Sats which took zero fees. I’ll keep WoS as a super simple demo for when I’m orange pilling people (please don’t judge me) and for accepting Sats from those who have my WoS address.

Craig Wright Takes On Bitcoin Core Developers Again

Dr. Craig Wright the cryptographer who once claimed he is Satoshi Nakamoto has dragged Bitcoin Core developers to court again

Some friends and I have set up a choir (chorale21.org.uk). It’s going nicely and now I’ve added a QR code for Bitcoin donations. A committee member has raised a concern that “people ...might be interested in utilizing the bit coin aspect to take advantage of the choir”. It’s going to be a long slow journey…

…and then there was this time that #Bitcoin c-r-a-s-h-e-d from $73,738 down to £63,546.
