Doing yoga once a week will absolutely, unequivocally, without a shadow of doubt change your life for the better…. Go and stretch pleb…..

Came over here in a Twitter boycott, but you dudes keep showing me your yuck arse feet. 🤢🤢🤢 I’m going back. I don’t do feet.

Steve jobs = Satoshi??? No way. He was a great marketer but couldn’t code to save himself. Wozniak on the other hand? 🤔🤔🤔

After 6mths of thinking it was lost forever I have relocated my wedding ring. Time for a resizing I think. Marriage saved.

Tell me I’m crazy but I see a very high correlation between people who get bitcoin and those who have trained hard in their lives. Whether it be academics, sports, music or the arts. People who have dedicated their time, effort, energy and focus on various endeavours in their lives seemingly understand the effort it takes to understand bitcoin. Perhaps it is a function of who we are as people. On the other side, those people in my life who haven’t trained or applied themselves in their lives, those who simply exist without passions or focus find bitcoin hard to understand. Tell me what your passion was? Does what I say ring true? For me it was music. I’ve played guitar since I was 8.

Still time for you plebs to all come to prison-island for the first bitcoin-only conference in the land of Oz. Bitcoin Alive - 15th April in Sydney. Bitcoinalive.io

My job as a dad is to give my boys every opportunity to be better than me. Faster, stronger, smarter, balanced, driven….. better…. In every single way.

You should not only run a node. You should run more than one node. If any of those nodes is a rasp pi. You should not overload it with apps. Bitcoin core + Electrum + Lightning wallet (not channels) is plenty for a pi to deal with.

So are notes and engagement a function of relay connectivity? Engagement is a positive feedback mechanism for social networks. The more engagement, the dopamine hit, which drives further use. How are nostr clients optimising for engagement?

Here's a list of books I recently listed on a FB group that I've read related to finance, investing, trading and Bitcoin. It's not an all exhaustive list but thought some of you might like to scroll through. Plus a bit of story….. I am trying to set up a local meetup and inviting some local business owners and members of the public. The amount of hostility in these circles is gobsmacking. It is why I rarely go on FB. But…plebs….it is time to enter the belly of the beast. We must fish where the fish are…. I was being challenged by some people saying that I didn’t know what I was talking about and that Bitcoin was a scam. I normally just ignore them….but today I said “No”. “Fuck You”. “Let’s compare notes” Many of us aren’t proud enough of the proof of work we have all put in to understand this thing. We should share it more often. Here was my reply: “For anyone playing along at home. Trust me when I say I don't take this education thing lightly. Now this isn't to big note myself or to say that I am any smarter than anyone else here. But here is a (non-exhaustive) list of books I have read on finance, money, macroeconomics and Bitcoin. Simply to highlight that I just might know something about what I'm talking about. I challenge anyone here who says I don't know what I am talking about to present me a list of resources as a counter argument and I will gladly look into them. This is also not to.mention to countless hours I have spent watching videos and podcasts and reading newsletters. These are simply the books I have read on this topic that I could list, there would be others. When money dies The tower of babel The Price of Tomorrow The Price of time The little book that beats the market What works on wall street One up wall street The sovereign individual The fourth turning The intelligent investor The smart money method Trading the zone The aquirers multiple The #1 Rule The university of Berkshire hathaway magic internet money Mastering the lightning network Mastering Bitcoin Layered money The bullish case for Bitcoin The Bitcoin standard The creature from Jekyll island The crash course The fiat standard The rise of America Aftermath The new case for gold The deficit myth The changing world order Reminiscence of a stock operator Mr x interviews vol I Mr x interviews vol ii The new great depression Inventing Bitcoin The blocksize wars Mystery of banking Benjamin grahams net net stock strategy Resource Market Millionaire Common stocks and uncommon profits Margin of Safety Invested The dhando investor The barefoot investor The barefoot investor for families.

None of it comes easy and it’s what you have done to stay ahead of the game. #ForTheKids #Bitcoin h/t @FossGregfoss

There is a certain air of quality around this app. It’s almost as if the palette is made of a superior material like ivory. It’s crisp and satisfying.

Running bitcoin

Crypto bros know nothing about lightning because there isn’t a token. They can’t get it through their monkey jpeg brain that you don’t need a token for people to collaborate and build for the greater good. There is no token, and that’s the whole point. #bitcoin  is all we need

Why is it that #bitcoin , as a deflationary currency will become ultimately distributive rather than hoarded? It comes down to savings, purchasing power and time preference. Yesterday, I spent about 4hours replacing and re-greasing the bearings on my boat trailer. I’m not a mechanic, it’s not something I do every day, so it takes me longer than it should have. I could have paid someone to do this now in far less time, it’s true. But, one of my goals at the moment is to increase my stack. So I chose to save the sats and chose instead to swap my time instead and do it myself. As my purchasing power increases over time, there will come a point where I value my time over my money. I will gladly pay the next pleb some of my stack to change those bearings so that they too can choose time over their stack to build their own future. In an inflationary environment, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I will be changing my own bearings forever. An inflationary currency has created a world where we are jack -of-all-trades but masters of none. In an inflationary environment, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I will be changing my own bearings forever. An inflationary currency has created a world where we are jack -of-all-trades but masters of none. A deflationary currency will create net new jobs as people have the option to choose if they replace their wheel bearings or pay someone else to do it. As time preferences extend, saving in hard money allows you to make better choices around how to spend that saved time. An inflationary currency does the opposite. It Incentives plebs to diy rather than paying professionals. An inflationary currency means mediocrity rather than specialist skills. A deflationary currency will allow people to pursue their passions and create a more beautiful world. It will bring focus back to art and craftsmanship and pride in our work. It will give people back their saved time to pursue perfection and focus on their specialty. It will bring a focus back to the real world of what must be done by the skilled shape of hands, back to building things and fixing things and making things. The service industry is at its end. ChatGPT and the like will make the service and information industry redundant. This is the dawning of the new Renaissance. The beginning of a new period of quality and beauty. Imagine a world where all these autistic dreamers are allowed to focus their energy on whatever they want. Where people get to choose how they spend their time. I’ve never been more excited about this future for my kids. For now, I’ve got a mess in the garage I’ve got to clean up.

Reminder kids: A reduction in inflation rates is still inflation. Just because inflation decreased from 7% to 6% doesn’t mean you are no longer experiencing an extractive loss of purchasing power. A decrease in inflation rates is not deflation. A decrease in inflation rates is called disinflation. Deflation is negative inflation rates. Inflation, while positive and above interest rates is called financial repression, an hidden tax that it is extracting your value. It is robbing you of your time and energy. The time and energy you chose to swap in the form of wages, paid in currency. You can reclaim your time and energy by choosing where you store that energy long term. You do have options. You can opt-out. #Bitcoin
