So amazing to have you presenting on Nostr for Bitcoin circular economies. At @npub1l00k...nypq we’ve been encouraging Nostr use among circular economy projects so it’s great to have this deeper dive on how it works and the advantages compared to other, centralized protocol and platforms.

Having a sitting Senator from the state of Wyoming quoting a hip-hop artist from Marcy projects in Brooklyn, to declare fidelity to a global freedom technology that is advancing human rights and empowering people in many of the world’s most marginalized communities was not on my bingo card for 2025. Let’s go!!! 🔥 image

Hey @jack @jack mallers @ODELL @Derek Ross @Jeff Booth @gladstein et al, yesterday X suspended the @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town account on X for no clear reason. They have not rescinded the suspension despite much outreach. We’re working to get the conference (and all it represents) boosted over here on Nostr. Follower count has doubled in the past 24 hours. Can you (and others) help boost it further through a re-post or other message please. 🙏 The conference is incredibly high signal and this frustrating misstep by X is a great opportunity to bring further energy over to Nostr. Thank you! cc @BitcoinEkasi @AdoptingBTC @African Bitcoiners View quoted note → image

Urgent PSA: the @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town account has been suspended on X/Twitter. Please follow them on Nostr to help boost visibility and help with the migration of more people over to Nostr as a primary communication vehicle. Let’s go!!! image

So, Trump is supposedly issuing executive orders on “Bitcoin or crypto”. “Bitcoin or crypto”. I hope to be proven wrong, but so far every sign points to the new administration being a degenerate crypto cesspool, fuelled on by the likes of Andreessen Horowitz and the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial. One giant Presidentially-endorsed and enabled grift that will do little to improve the lot of the American people. Again, I hope I’m wrong and will admit so if that proves the case. One thing is for sure. Get, hold and use Bitcoin and stay away from crypto, and you are contributing to a better world while this grift evolves. image

I’m exchanging some of my Canadian dollars today for Bitcoin (BTC) in celebration of this special occasion. I’m referring, of course, to #MLKDay and honouring the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I’m reminded of words Dr. King shared with Harry Belafonte in the last year of his life and struggle: “I fear I may have integrated my people into a burning house”. May the meaning of that chilling reflection not be lost on us. I’m convinced that, were he alive today, Dr. King would grasp the immense value and potential of Bitcoin (BTC) as a liberating technology and on a global scale. image

El Salvador’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (6024.18 BTC as of today) now amounts to roughly 0.00095000 BTC per capita based on its population of .~6,300,000. They continue to grow this per capita holding every single day. In order catch up to El Salvador's per capita BTC reserves, these countries would need to hold the following BTC in their own Strategic Bitcoin Reserves as of today (the vast majority haven’t yet started an SBR). These numbers will continue to grow every day as El Salvador's per capita BTC holdings grow. 🇮🇳 1,384,896 BTC 🇨🇳 1,346,727 BTC 🇺🇸 329,000 BTC 🇳🇬 221,045 BTC 🇧🇷 201,809 BTC 🇷🇺 137,579 BTC 🇲🇽124,865 BTC 🇯🇵 117,237 BTC 🇩🇪 80,083 BTC 🇬🇧 65,889 BTC 🇿🇦 61,179 BTC 🇫🇷 63,273 BTC 🇨🇦 37,950 BTC 🇦🇺 25,508 BTC 🇨🇭 8,498 BTC There are only 21,000,000 BTC to be had...ever. Countries for whom the 💡 goes on and realize that BTC is gradually becoming the base layer of the future global economy will be competing not only with each other for BTC, but with the world's 8 billion individuals, as well as companies, investment funds, unions, community organizations, and a myriad of other groups around the world. Sometimes the profound reality of "scarcity" can just smack you in the face. It is very likely that most, or possibly all of these very large (many very wealthy) countries will never possess the per capita wealth of El Salvador measured in BTC. It boggles the mind what this will mean in the future that is taking shape right now. Most importantly though, if YOU are reading this, it means that YOU have the possibility of holding your own BTC and doing so while the vast majority of national and sub-national governments, companies, and other groups are still asleep or have not learned enough about Bitcoin (BTC) to take it as seriously as they should (and will, eventually). The most beautiful thing about Bitcoin, I believe, is that almost everyone on the planet has the ability to hold it and use BTC. That includes youth in the most remote parts of the world, for example; individuals who are excluded from the wealth of the current world in so many ways. It is absolutely remarkable that as governments, companies, and other groups slowly begin to tune into the transformational value of Bitcoin, individuals have already been at this for 16 years. More than 55% of the total available supply of BTC right now -- roughly 19,800,000 BTC out of the 21M that will ever be available -- are held by individuals. This is power to the people in action. Let's keep it that way! Stack sats, stay humble. ✊🧡 image

My Dec 31 / Jan 1 have been deliberately unceremonious. To bed at 10pm, up at 5am and to the gym. Done, with a 30 minute meditation to cap it off. The framework for my 2025 is set. Wishing you all a year of peace, health, and fulfillment. image

Just spent the better part of my last evening of this year at an all-ages NYE Party, laying on my back in the middle of a living room de-bunking Modern Monetary Theory for a group of recent Stephanie Kelton acolytes, while my 7 year old performed flying body slams on me from the living room sofa. Pretty emblematic of my 2024 overall, to be honest. Off to bed I go shortly, to rise early and take 2025 by the horns. Wishing you all a healthy, peaceful and fulfilling new year! image
