This Saturday is going to be the best bitcoin builders party in the middle of nowhere. View quoted note →

When people that depend on shitcoins start to call shitcoins nuclear/toxic waste, are we nearing the end of shitcoins?

The only way to secure digital scarcity is to create physical uncapturable abundance that remains in consensus. In the end digital is just the status of transistors in one or multiple locations. Social consensus among the multiple is a challenge. Money in the end is just a social phenomenon.

If we don’t manage to decentralize mining (templates) before regulatory capture, who will control the “compliance” list?

Sometimes it feels like silence before the storm. But actually it’s not silence, because the rambling is insanely loud. We’ve never sold this amount of goods via our webshop. More and more people are waking up. And we are here to make sure they get to safety and make people understand it requires proof of work to be safe from the fiat massacre. Our building will not stop until we reach our goal. “You can only have a great life when people around you have a great life” will start to ramp up local efforts.

In the bitcoin community there are people who produce things and just send an email: “created this” In todays bitcoin builders, someone translated the amazing video of @Lyn Alden in Dutch: 🙏

Because there was some anon that posted about a free spot at @Satoshis Bleibe : we went. The German bitcoin community is alive and kicking. The amount of proof of work being done by this community is staggering. And I had to do my best to speak some low level German on high level topics. It strengthens to see so many so deep down the rabbithole connecting with each other and their families. Bitcoin will not be stopped because of these people and the next generations embracing its philosophy. Truth is out there and will prevail. Thank you for having us and the amazing time and effort put into this weekend. There is no better place than a church to talk about bitcoin until deep in the night. 🙏

I’ve had a meeting in the Netherlands about attached. Read it and tell me how you feel. Now amplify this feeling times hundred and you’ll know how I feel after this meeting:

Fiat payments are a pain. Can we incorporate shipping data in somekind of checkout way automatically. Like people use a Nostr plugin or Nostr login where it just shares the shipping data and pays. The single button Apple Pay feature sharing the shipping data automatically is quite simple, plus it automatically generates a private email address. We should have a bitcoin pay button that is able to do the exact same thing. View quoted note →

Sit down relax and watch princes of the yen. Understand where we are living in and what bitcoin solves.

I tend to agree with @bitcoinpierre on the perfect Sunday to learn about money. The current situation fits this early morning read https://mises.org/mises-daily/yield-money-held-reconsidered

So finished some analysis on spent time. Week consists of 168 hours 60 hours sleep 30 hours VBNL.org 30 hours @BitcoinBrabant 20 hours family / friends 20 hours food / household 8 hours ? I think I’ll have to change some things at some point.

On Sundays it’s time to learn about money in general. And the origin of the euro banknotes is fascinating. The short documentary (unfortunately sponsored) I watched is worthwhile understanding. The low time preference and proof of work that went into these notes is admirable. There’s a weird screenshot I took from the documentary and would love to know if this was a joke by the documentary makers? The text (see snippet below) is really in this documentary.

Scammers get to advertise with their fake investment and mining scams, we can’t even post while trying to warn for the scams. View quoted note →

A lot of people are interested in Musk attending the @Bitcoin Magazine conference. On X the plane tracker was taken down. On Nostr the tracker can’t be stopped. The guy is mostly in Texas anyway, so it’s not that much of a hassle. I’m curious when he will be launching his mining location with excess electricity and repurposing of heat. We’re calculating this for factories and it would make sense with his recent GIGA AI buildout, the huge fans on the top of the roof clearly show no heat repurposing, while he generates heat right next to it in his factory. We could have easily integrated it without any risk for the process and actually prolonging the lifetime estimate of the installation. View quoted note →

I’m trying to learn more about memetic singularity. Anyone has interesting reading or will it be memed into reality ☺️

My wife gave me a new ice bath tub. My mother in law created a happy bitcoin birthday sign. Also got a perfect Sierra Leone silver coin from my birth year. My kid came walking in with it. Typical bitcoin bday 🙏 grateful for everyone around me supporting this adventure that is life.

X is really broken. It doesn’t matter if you look at “for you” “following” or even my noderunners select group. Only posts about some things happening in the US are constantly thrown in your face. Can’t wait to be able to set my own algorithm based on what I want to see. It’s very simple: WTF are people building to improve bitcoin.
