While I’m working I’m listening to @npub1s33s...252p and @npub1r6xc...a9je Terrific conversation. One of the stand out questions for me was, “Are people actually interested in having sound money?” I might have rephrased it, however you get the gist. It’s such a very important question for the future of humanity. Another powerful line, “Bitcoin cannot be rebooted if it fails: why the immaculate conception of Bitcoin makes this the only shot humanity gets”. Timestamps: 0:00 — Stanford PhD dropout turned Peter Thiel hedge fund analyst explains his unlikely path from English literature to global macro trading. 15:58 — Bitcoin's toxic maximalist culture peaked in 2020 and 2021, why the social layer has since collapsed. 21:35 — Kratter reveals he has had to publicly attack former friends and allies Adam Back and Michael Saylor to protect Bitcoin's integrity. 24:54 — Culture is upstream of consensus: why the Second Amendment analogy exposes the slow death of Bitcoin's core ethos. 33:40 — The real Bitcoin adoption checklist: self custody, running a node, mining, CoinJoin, and Lightning 35:36 — Iran accepting Bitcoin for crude oil insurance is a direct and deliberate attack on the petrodollar system, not just a sanction workaround. 40:50 — Stablecoins are actively extending the life of the fiat system Bitcoiners claim to be destroying. 43:48 — Bitcoin OGs pressured him to stop criticizing Tether 49:09 — Bitcoin cannot be rebooted if it fails: why the immaculate conception of Bitcoin makes this the only shot humanity gets. 53:47 — Five mining pools now control 90% of all Bitcoin blocks 58:33 — The history of Bitcoin Core as a reference implementation and why centralization of node software is as dangerous as mining centralization. 1:00:58 — Satoshi himself built the original mempool spam filters, and Kratter argues anyone calling filters censorship is calling Satoshi a censor. 1:22:02 — Bitcoin Core version 30 blew open OP_RETURN in a process Kratter says was decided behind closed doors with critics locked out of GitHub. 1:24:23 — The mining pools, Bitcoin Core, and big Bitcoin media all benefit from spam — leaving node runners holding the garbage forever. 1:28:09 — BIP 110 explained: a temporary conservative soft fork designed to pause spam use cases and buy the community time to fight back. 1:31:04 — Kratter issues the most alarming warning of the episode: Bitcoin Core's OP_RETURN expansion has opened the door to child sexual abuse material permanently embedded in the blockchain. 1:37:09 — The weed and garden analogy: why Bitcoin Core's sophisticated arguments for allowing spam are the exact red flag that reveals bad intent. 1:39:01 — The Brink funding scandal exposed: a nonprofit was paying the salaries of multiple Bitcoin Core maintainers while its director was in a relationship with a developer who then gained commit access to the code. 1:42:07 — Hard forks versus soft forks explained from first principles, and why BIP 110 as a soft fork is structurally the most conservative possible path forward. 1:49:40 — The tragedy of the commons: miners get paid to include spam but node runners have to store it forever, and the game theory is not correcting itself. 1:54:13 — Bitcoin has lost its adversarial thinking culture, and Kratter warns that magical thinking among Bitcoiners is one of the biggest threats to the network's survival. 2:02:49 — Kratter voted for Trump, admits the swamp was never drained, and says the government is not going to save Bitcoin — only node runners and hodlers can. The closing thesis: Bitcoin defunds war and empowers the everyday person, but none of it is guaranteed and the remnant must stay vigilant to pull humanity through.

#350 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web Self improvement and personal development is all about stretching yourself beyond current circumstances so that you have the ability to be fully expressed in your life and make a difference with others. I’m not at all sure if you might be in the situation where you need to solve a debt problem. However, I came across what seemed a great resource for anyone who is grappling with financial issues that interfere with the more fun and exciting plans that you have for your life. That information is more for those of you who are based in the USA (yet it still has some very good pointers, no matter where in the world you are). When you’re in a situation of dealing with issues that cause disharmony between you and your vision for your life, then you must deal with and clean up any of those personal blocks before you can move forward, with your personal power at full steam.

Do You Need To Solve A Debt Problem?

Are you grappling with financial issues that interfere with more fun, exciting plans https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/solve-a-debt-problem/

Life Power Tip Whatever you are putting off, do not put it off any longer. Anything incomplete and anything you are tolerating or putting on the back burner, is slowing your progress and dwindling your energy and enthusiasm. If you feel tired, then I would assert that there are things in your life to which you need to attend and for which you need to take responsibility. What are you avoiding or procrastinating about? Action Always share the rewards and the benefits that have come from your successes. Challenge When you shop, take a list and stick to that list one hundred percent. Quote You must have long range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures. -Charles C. Noble Clearing Weed a patch of garden. Question In your life, where are you going and whom are you taking with you? Affirmation I choose to hold myself and other people in high esteem. Uplifting Extra As we get older and face the distractions of modern life, many of us get cut off from our power to manifest. The text messages, the social media, the 24/7 news, the task list, the endless meetings, it suffocates our inspiration. The good news is that your power to manifest is still fully intact and you can get it back very quickly. If you want to reawaken your power to manifest, here’s something special for you. Get this free guided meditation called Manifestation In The Modern World. It’s only 8 minutes long and it will begin rewiring your mind to not only jumpstart the manifesting powers you once had, yet actually make them stronger than ever.

Your Life Can Be Anything You Make It

Life Power Tip What could you let go of, to have more in your life? Many of our accumulations and things to which we are attached wind up cluttering our mind. If you feel heavy and serious a lot of the time, and you have forgotten how to have fun, then perhaps it is time to take a good look at what you could let go of in your life (people, things, ideas, beliefs). Action Visualize successes in detail. Win everything in your mind, first. Challenge Watch no television and hear no radio today. Quote It’s wonderful to know that the power to define who I am rests solely with me. If I decide I am an artist, or a poet, a teacher or a writer then I am. -Renae A. Sauter Clearing Try out having containers on a stand in your bathroom, one for hands/feet items, for daily make up or body, and one for hair items. Question What would your ideal life look like? Affirmation I choose to feel more and more pleased with my work. Uplifting Extra Enjoy these 495 positive quote images (in 5 collections).

GN Nostriches Had a lovely meal out at our favourite little Italian restaurant this evening. Then watched movie 🍿 The Astronaut https://m.imdb.com/title/tt13964560/

Love this! Brilliant! 🧡 Video Description: "If Australia is so terrible, why did you come here? And more importantly: why are you trying to turn Australia into the exact same broken nightmare you just fled?" That is the million-dollar question that everyday Aussies are screaming right now! In this explosive viral video, Katherine Deves Morgan completely obliterates out-of-touch politicians like Senator Fatima Payman, Mehreen Faruqi, and Michelle Ananda-Rajah. They came to a prosperous, safe Western nation for a better life, but now they use their power to push forced multiculturalism and complain about the very culture that gave them everything! We expose the terrifying reality of the woke elite's agenda, the looming threat of radical Islam, and why the globalist political class is letting this happen. You come to Australia to assimilate, respect the law, and embrace the lifestyle—not to tear it down and rebuild the dysfunction you left behind! Watch this epic takedown before the mainstream media tries to ban it. 1. Introduction and Katherine Deves Morgan’s take (0:00) 2. Calling out the pollies and representation (1:27) 3. What it means to be a fair dinkum immigrant (4:58) 4. Border security and staying true to our roots (7:23) 5. Safety concerns and keeping the peace (9:03) 6.

#335 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web Have you ever felt like life was slipping out of your control? Like no matter what you did, the outcomes were beyond your reach? You’re not alone. Many of us, at some point, feel powerless, whether it’s due to overwhelming challenges, unexpected setbacks or simply the weight of daily responsibilities. What if I told you that this feeling isn’t the whole truth? What if there was a way to transcend those moments and step into a deeper sense of strength and confidence? Your inner strength is waiting to be realized. Take this opportunity to discover it. Don’t let another moment slip by feeling stuck or inadequate. Empowerment is just a click away, read How to Never Feel Powerless and view the video, at the link above. (Link is below)

Life Power Tip Walk away from the 97% crowd. Do not use the excuses that everyone uses. Take charge of our own life. If you say you want something then find a way to take the actions to have that. There is always a way. If you need to start in a way that you perceive to be ‘small’ then start ‘small’. Who you are for yourself will shift and exponentially grow with every action you take toward a desired goal. Simply be clear about the goal and intended result. Action Let it go, you will never change another person, only your response to them. Challenge Try to see another point of view no matter how unreasonable it appears. Quote Happier thoughts lead to essentially a happier biochemistry. A happier, healthier body. Negative thoughts and stress have been shown to seriously degrade the body and the functioning of the brain, because it’s our thoughts and emotions that are continuously reassembling, reorganizing, re-creating our body. -Dr John Hagelin Clearing Thoroughly dust/wash your front door, and doorsteps around your home. Question What would it take, for you to be ‘comfortable in your own skin’? Affirmation I choose to always believe in my personal success. Uplifting Extra Imagine if you could manifesting more by singing a song. Listen to two awesome law of attraction pop songs to activate greater manifesting results than anything else! These songs include a 5-step manifesting technique, which automatically “switch on” the law of attraction, while you listen. Get your free copy of both tracks from the album and you’ll also get the chance to download the No B.S. Manifesting course. The latter isn’t free. However, if you get the chance to buy it, I highly recommend you do. (Link is below)
