@Sanne and my son Otis Sha (anagram for Satoshi) is enjoying his new 3D printed violin.
@Kevin Ravens₿erg ⚡️ ☁️ and his wife (true bitcoiners) have built vioolfabriek.nl
They make it possible for every person on this planet to be able to play violin cheaply.
Every morning O asks “violin”.
He’s still a bit too young (2YO) but he’s trying it anyway.
His hero (André Rieu) is perfectly mimicked.
But he’s starting to like Mozart more recently.
GM, just wanted to tell you that my butcher does not want to convert his bitcoin into worthless euro’s. I’ve tried many tactics, scaring him, pushing him into some nice spending… can’t get him out of his bitcoin.
He’s become a hodler, I’m impressed.
I gave the board of the Dutch central banks with this article as the package. The feedback is, my son loves the 🧦 the message is appreciated by some…
“You advise to put cash euros in a sock, as you are warning for bank failure. Bitcoin has not had any downtime for over a decade. It doesn’t lose value when you put it in a sock. In your beautiful package with the article where you warn the population you’ll find bitcoin socks and a paper with 24 lines, you can write your bitcoin wallet on there.”
“Why it’s not possible, we know, the only thing that counts is that it happens.”
You could also translate this as
“We know why it’s not possible, that it is brought to fulfillment is the only thing that matters”
Would you have a better translation?
My wife @Sanne is a hero, she has been breastfeeding 52 months in a row. Pregnant quite some time during this period. Our sons are becoming strong Vikings because of her.
Just send this list for a next podcast recording about censorship in the Netherlands, these videos are critical for the storyline:
RTLZ (niet meer te vinden, framing 2 miljard belasting ontduiking)
NPO interview (niet meer te vinden online met framing bitcoin als slecht en dan positief verhaal)
Why do shitcoins exist? In its origin it was to focus on specific niche trade offs. Speed of transaction and privacy were the most important. And of course it was used for large scale pump and dumps.
We now enter the last time that there was a niche use case on a L1.
Every technology necessary to become global money has now been developed on bitcoin.
It’s now a matter of scaling and reaching the masses.
The issue: grifters, diversifiers, tradfi, central banks, large global corporations intertwined with government, rich Ponzi adjacent “investors”, regular government adjacent workers (>50% of most western countries), mainstream media etc.
So it will be slow, we will still have major swings. When markets become rational, they take secure control of their bitcoin. That’s the moment supply is thin and major swings start to occur. Bitcoin still has to go through a real phase of adoption. It’s very questionable if that point with the common man will be in the next year/years.
Something major has to change.
In my opinion this is the split of bitcoin and crypto. It has to happen. If it doesn’t we all lose freedom through overregulation. If your goal is to make more bitcoin trading shitcoins, think about the long term effect. If it damages people & bitcoin think twice. This is our last opportunity to facilitate freedom and savings for mankind.
This is where my wife and I grew up, where we used to live & work with the farmers for many years. Last year we decided to leave, it was a plethora of reasons.
Seeing this in our (ex)local newspaper today is shocking:
“Farmer is not allowed to milk his cows in the night anymore”
