Sawubona Nostr.

Listening to Lex and Jordan's recent podcast. I was struck hard by the idea of boundedness...the garden of eden story- you have freedom up to the point of transgression of the foundation (forbidden fruit). Reminded me of Bitcoin...freedom from constraints-if you abide by the fundamental rules of the protocol.

Power law Prediction Seductive... The siren song of certainty, That we are finally Masters of the future And slayers of humility's constant work. Turning and tweaking the knobs Looking back with crystal clarity The mind balking at the unanswerable question, As we shine the imaginary glow of our final understanding Into the farthest edges of a world whose masters are not yet born.

I'm speaking to some game rangers and conservationists soon. I'm needing some references to help explore some ways that bitcoin facilitates and improves this domain. I've got some ideas. love Allen Farrington and Sacha Meyers work, need a few more pointers. Gracias nostr.

I asked one of my readers for a review. Amazon won't let him post because he hasn't spent enough money. Tbh it really touched me and made it feel really worthwhile. I'm posting here first.... "Nell’s pacy, thoughtful romp imagines the disappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto (a pseudonym), the presumed philanthropist-genius developer of Bitcoin. Bitcoin – the tech which promises a marriage of innocence and money, a mode of lucre impervious to human stupidity. Nell’s instructive take on this ignorance is made real through his characters, some of whom will disrupt your habit of sleeping when it’s dark. Their crime in a nutshell: the co-option of money by evil. And Satoshi’s cash, seemingly immune to such co-option, has justifiably rattled men in suits. In counterpoint to his take-down of money, Nell riffs rarefied on Bitcoin as an attractor of goodness-writ-large, and perhaps even consciousness itself. The attractor draws the good guys too, and as they are elevated by Satoshi’s quiet authority and presence, they risk more-and-more to midwife the still-vulnerable technology. Nell’s take on the world’s ills, their rootedness in the corruptibility of money, and the power of tech to circumvent this flaw is a heady cocktail, as is his quirky turn of phrase. He weaves some big philosophy into the action, and some strong, relatable characters who find love, courage and clarity as Bitcoin motivates and moves their being. By the end you’ll think differently about the world, about money, and perhaps about Jiu-Jitsu and cryptography. And you’ll hope, hugely, that Satoshi is okay, wherever he may be."

Nostr anthem I am not grist for your mill. I am not a cog to be turned. I am not your second class masked down and cowed. I am not the product of your empire fantasies. I am not your eyeballs for hire. I am not the mouth for your slick trash slush. I am not your treadmill jogger. I am not your drugged up, dumbed down and sanitized body. I am not your arm to be jabbed. I am not yours to command. Don't count me in. I'm opting out.

it feels like a little bit of an inflection point underway on nostr. interesting. Exciting as fuck

"You don't change Bitcoin. Bitcoin changes you." I have felt this firsthand, being pulled and pushed, bullied by Bitcoin. Stepping up. Speaking up. It's a small fractal of the hero's journey, playing out day by day. Changing long held patterns and habits that dont really serve me... What is the hero's journey if not holding yourself to the fire of your discomfort and growing from that?

Bitcoin offers a field of value and purpose acquisition that is -individual -emergent -engaged -enhanced. Feel it for yourself... The Nakamoto Consensu
