Anyone have thoughts on Riga, Latvia? I know the Baltics Honeybadger is held there, but don't know much else as an American. Is there reason to be bullish on the country? Reasons to be concerned?

Who do you think has a higher IQ? Person A, who says: “Bitcoin fixes everything.” Or person B who says: “Life, as Schrödinger observed in the early 20th century can be seen as the emergence of self-replicating negentropy maximization machines, and if we combine this with noting the cybernetic principle states that the purpose of a machine is it does, we now have perfectly described the purpose of life. Further, upon reflecting on the ever outward spiraling set of energy inputs into all consumed goods & services, we find human economic decisions are based on localized information amidst opportunity costs as to the negentropy maximizing action, of course, setting a global objective value function within which the appearance of subjective preference is a mere stochastic process to escape local maxima, and then by Landauer's principle we must note that destruction of information, as is this with a money that is not a fixed numerical partition, is entropic, which is minimized with the energy minimal fixed money Schelling point, bitcoin's proof of work being such an absolute minimum being trivial, indicates that all economic desires are delivered most expediently by the market on a bitcoin standard after all fiat money has vanished.”

Anyone here use Threema? More secure than Signal?

Good evening My secret? 615 F

No one will care about NOSTR Until the gig economy is on NOSTR

Was talking to a guy who thinks he's a thinker Said that bitcoin is not for him, not in an anti-bitcoin way, just contrived vibes based thing Just found out he was trying to bum money off a friend of mine for travel expenses Yikes -- looks like he should have bought bitcoin!

My pan tweet went viral on Twitter. With 2 million views, that's 100x more than all the people on Nostr. Nostr needs economic, two-sided-marketplace apps to gain traction imho.

A friend called me yesterday: "Hey, I'm a completely different person" (I could hear it in his voice) "...I am now a bitcoin person. I appreciate you telling me crypto was all BS years ago because it helped give me the conviction to go with my gut." Men must be toxic to evil

"Imagine a special passport issued by the League of Sovereign Individuals, identifying the holder as a person under the protection of the league." - The Sovereign Individual, page 320 How many years are we from AnchorWatch becoming the first such league? 🤔👀

From The Sovereign Individual I am learning that in the early years of the printing press, from 1518 to 1525, Luther's works were a third of all German language books sold. So there is nothing odd about most of Nostr being discussion centered on Bitcoin.

Spending KYC bitcoin with KYC merchants isn't using bitcoin Receiving bitcoin payments via PoS auto-convert isn't using bitcoin Buying nonKYC coconut for $5 of bitcoin isn't using bitcoin Zapping people isn't using bitcoin Only store OV, standard OV, and measure OV are uses.

Obviously, saving is using But do not be a LARPing faggot Also point out that sendin/receiving bitcoin does not necessarily mean you are really "using bitcoin"

If you've been around a minute, you know who the guy in the middle is. I think there is a real opportunity here, and one that might be able to resist being co-opted by shitcoiners because it can be paralleled with real technological growth and economic development into which the fervor toward seeking short term gains can be productively directed. Trump is delivering the "crypto" dream of policy, not the bitcoin one. cc: @jack @I)ruid @npub13l3l...8xc2 @jack mallers Understand there is no path to go forward that doesn't involve materials and manufacturing advancements, which are inherently dual use between industry and war. There is no Singaporization without militarization. This is fundamental physical reality and it will be used in an attempt to cleave bitcoiner interest away from Argentina and weaken it as a Schelling point. Why do you think the Argentines are interested in meeting me? Certainly not because of any bitcoin matters, and what would you tell them? "Buy bitcoin?" Lol. I have a path to helping them become a real economic player, a real economic node, and pulling in other entrepreneurs who are sick of the nonsense of Silicon Valley Cantillionaires, yet still feel compelled to build the foundations of civilization's technology -- that is what I offer to Argentina. [Redacting a bit for Nostr] ...it's all anchored in the fact that I have and can deliver The Goods. You cannot. Doesn't matter how many orders of magnitude more bitcoin you may have than me. Trump was high time preference tactics. Time to get strategic. (I know there was the shitcoin thing that happened with Milei. Unless someone shows me evidence otherwise, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and consider the President an unwitting victim to social engineering, just as has happened with various celebrities. Presidents are extremely busy people, just think about how Trump talked about "playing with your coins" -- you can't assume they have taken the time to really pay attention the way Bukele has.)

Twitter is the ultimate censorship platform On my business account with same number of followers I get 10x the engagement My tweets are suppressed on main because I don't have a 1-dimensional feel good, inane commentary Elon is the world's greatest censor, using AI to impede human freedom while LARPing as pro America

Good evening

If you call yourself a bitcoiner, you need to read this to understand how fiat actually manifests in the economy. Make no mistake: if you lie about this and pretend that *non-direct government spending* from pension funds, including VC, are private market capitalism, you are an enemy of liberty, you are an enemy of America, and you are an enemy of life itself, regardless of whether you cosplay as a Republican.

Sometimes I will read Beautyon's tweets even though he has me blocked, and I will think that I should be working on the critical product for adoption that everyone else is neglecting... but then I remember there is nary a serious bitcoiner to be found in most parts. But the military is serious, and through building weapons, I can carry the torch of the dying culture of engineering and technology advancement, a culture bitcoin will restore to its full grandeur, but totally foreign to the fiat-world bitcoiner of the present era. Pity.

Where do my new followers come from if I am not actively posting? I get a few weekly. Is this indicative of more pro-social discovery mechanisms than on X?
