Bitcoin ownership is a bit like gun ownership. It’s pretty simple and straightforward, but if you don’t know what you are doing and have unsafe practices you can absolutely destroy yourself. Also you NEED to know how both of them work to protect yourself. You cannot rely on others to hold your keys to save you, just like you cannot rely on others to hold a firearm to save you.

I feel so lucky that I can spend the whole day out in the forest with my dogs finding all sorts of delightful mushroom gifts. It just feels so peaceful and right to be out there tromping around and being in the elements of nature.

I feel rage in my body when people act like paying taxes is some kind of ethical obligation. I usually flip out and list off each illegal US bombing campaign and asking after each one if that was ethical. View quoted note →

Not only does it work, it’s been than the current model which is inherently based on exploiting artist for their value. V4V opens a whole new world of creativity where artist can truly produce for their fans alone, and get larger and more robust earnings than ever before. View quoted note →

I have a really hard time taking anyone seriously who talks about personal or spiritual empowerment, but then scoffs at the idea of bitcoin. You can’t change the world if you’re using slave credits to try to do that, and in fact I’m suspicious that you’re really in it just to make more slave credits.

I’m always impressed and surprised at how much my physiological attunement matters to how I’m feel. I was feeling pretty down earlier today, and forced myself to go out mushroom hunting. After about an hour, I was really surprised at how much better I was feeling. Getting that blood flowing and getting your mind off of whatever it may be spinning on is really important to take care of yourself. I just wanted to say that for anyone feeling down to encourage them to get out of the house and do something to take care of their body and the mind will likely follow suit. GN.

Will someone please build a sub stack on Nostr just so we can call is sub.zap?

I am really, really thankful for Bitcoin, and more importantly Bitcoiners. You people have really inspired me to be my best, and to know that we all have a great and extraordinary task before us that we are manifesting into reality. It is all becoming true, and with Bitcoiners we are going to right the wrongs of our world that are rooted in the lies and corruption that are fiat. Together we are going to free our people from this impossible problem that has been so graciously and serendipitously solved by Satoshi. I thank all of you for helping me know that I have a mission and purpose in this world, and it is with all of you who share in this great quest that is to liberate other being into the sovereignty that Bitcoin provides and teaches to all of us.

What excites me the most about Nostr is that we now have a protocol from which we can build literal killer apps. The internet was suppose to be free, and only over the last 30 years did it become walled off and enslaved to corporate and government interesting alike. I want to see us build each and every FOSS app possible to compete with and destroy the corporate apps, as our data is ours, and it should no longer be free for the raping and pillaging for fiat companies, with fiat interest, and fiat lords who are more than happy to sell you out to whomever they please. I’m here to watch the old internet die as much as I’m here to watch the new one we are birthing together.

More and more I believe bitcoin to really be a spiritual calling to each of us individually, to demand of ourselves and our communities to truly self-reflect on what it means to be spiritual beings, and what it means to dignify one another with a money that is absolutely scarce and cannot be stolen from one another. Each of us who know and understand what this technology is are to show our people what it really means so that we may birth a new age of love and prosperity for all, simply by righting the wrongs that fiat money has created in the world. It is a most glorious and noble cause to which I am repeatedly humbled by the task that my greatest responsibility is to simply speak this truth into the world, as each of you are also to do.

Best part of this cycle is no one has asked me about HEX. Thank god that shithead is finally on the run.

This actually presents the most exciting aspect of the insane cypherpunk future that we are going into. Just like cryptography and AI, all of the tools that billions were spent on developing will be expropriated and turned against the machine for the profit of the individual entrepreneurs who see how these tools can serve them best.

Shitcoin are specificity designed to separate money from the retarded to the unethical Bitcoin is designed to separate money from the unethical to the ethical. These are not the same thing.

What the fuck? Did bro use a Time Machine. MF hasn’t aged at all… View quoted note →

Never thought I’d see the day…

I’m pretty cranky about the shitcoin rally. Now every retard that made a few bucks think they are Warren Buffet.

It blows my mind that so many people don’t understand that all social media is actually a political apparatus that has been mutilated into the most debased crass garbage EXPLICITLY to mute out its political nature. We can interactivity speak and organize directly through a decentralized nature to millions of people now. There has never been a power so politically potent in human history, and this nature remains hidden because the moment it is truly understood as a political praxis it will become the most powerful political entity that has ever existed. We can now start the grandest conversation about what it means to be human in our day and age, and what The Political really is. If we are truly free people and not slaves subservient to a system of totalizing exploitation, than we should be able to use these tools to both throw off the yoke of digital imperialism, while also giving one another the knowledge/power to create a totally new territory of human freedom from which a new future may be born.

You will own your data, or your data will own you. Just like your money. You decide.

Dog, this morning: “Hey, I thought I chewed through this internet cord…” damn it.
