Bitcoin isn’t for the rich, It isn’t for the poor either. It’s for all people everywhere who demand that no one control money, forever.

It’s absolutely hilarious that we are using the apex of war technologies to shitpost our way to the revolution. God has a sense of humor and he is really setting up his punchline here. View quoted note →

Going off grid tomorrow for a few weeks. Fishing with my stepdad, son, and dog in the eastern sierras; maybe chill down in the desert after that. We are gonna 4x4 into some remote spots and then backpack in the rest of the way in. I’m looking forward to turning off for a while.

We could be free, but the idea of contemplating deeply how money and wealth functions because we use it everyday and it one of the most definitive aspects of our society is simply too much for most people. So instead we’ll get infinity wars, false democracy, and a collapsing political system because most people don’t want to think, and simply obey.

These are not small iterative changes of old ways, but totally new ways of connecting with cryptography in mind, and privacy at the heart. 👏👏👏 The future is very bright if you know where to look. View quoted note →

Sorry for my dyslexia. Y’all are too kind for not calling me out on all of the gross grammatical and syntax errors I make. 🙏❤️

GM, This morning I am just reflecting on how profound the internet is. Much of my of my life and who I am has been defined by it. I have been lucky enough to meet people from all over the world and some of my deepest friendships are a product of starting to interact with people online. Most of my adult jobs came from working at internet companies, and I helped scale teams that were totally remote and built incredible things with people whom I never actually met. What the internet opens each of us up to is a radically new and different form of life. One where we are no longer limited to relationships just within our immediate proximity, but that we can seek out others like us from all over the plant to create, build, inspire, grow, and love together. It is truly profound what we are building here with Nostr and Bitcoin and the very real hope and agency that it can offer to all people everywhere, forever. It is the hope of an internet where all peoples who participate and create it together are self-sovereign; owning their data, wealth, and health of their digital life to enhance and liberate the lives they experience and are reflected in meatspace. Thanks to each and everyone of you for believing in this vision we all share of an internet that is truly free, and beyond the power and control of any nation-state, corporation, or government to use against any of us. It is a task that is reserved for only us, and this generation of peoples at this time. We can lose this all and be doomed to a life for ourselves and all postally to come inside of a guild panoptic cage controlled and owned by states and corporations where the very concept of privacy is eliminated. That is a world that we cannot allow to come into existence, and with each and every one of you fighting against it, I know that we will win. Thank you for believing in this, for working on it, and for participating. It means more than any of us will ever know, and our great grandchildren will one day beam with pride in knowing that their ancestors worked on such important projects.

I meet this guy a few times a year. Was super early and bought 1000s of bitcoins only to sell them after a few gainz. Knows that all crypto can be hacked, knows guys at the NSA who are satoshi. It’s always a cool story bro. Too bad they never keep any of those bitcoin, with them being super well informed and all… View quoted note →

Most people are so captured by the guarantee for safety and security through the state (which does not exist in any meaningful way) vis monetary and economic means, that the idea of any form of life outside of that seems like nonsense. It is nothing more than trying to explain the freedom beyond the cave to the slaves enamored with the shadows on the wall. They will insist their chains protect them, and the darkness is security.
