Merry Christmas to fellow Albertans and Bitcoiners who have inspired us this year @Adam O’Brien and the gang at @BTC Sessions 🎄

It’s funny back in my gaming days me and my long time online friends in San Fran, Vancouver, and Minnesota used to have the best online get togethers Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day while playing coop Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 PC on Steam. I can’t really bring myself to game much anymore since my appreciation of time has changed a lot, but on days like this I kind of miss the laughs. I’m glad there are so many cool people here on Nostr to share thoughts with today, when we don’t have any family that live within 500 miles and we don’t have a tight crew of other couples we know who aren’t already engaged with house loads of guests. I hope you all are filled with peace and gratitude today. #grownostr

If you ever see one of these splitting hatchets at your local Stihl or Husqvarna dealer, I can’t recommend the hatchet and the axe version enough. The edge geometry makes splitting so effortless. I modded the hatchet with some camo duct tape to protect the shaft from the occasional overswing (hasn’t been marked yet), some skateboard grip tape, and a wrist strap. One of the best pieces of kit I own. #homesteading #grownostr

So good to hear from Dr. Jeff to round out the year. Great job @Danny Knowles

We need some #gregfoss energy in Bitcoin and Nostr. Miss that guy. It’s just math guys. #grownostr https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinCA/comments/10ax4gc/its_just_math_with_greg_foss_state_of_bitcoin_ep/

It feels like our ability to vibe code tools has outpaced the need for them without corresponding regulatory changes. Buy ammo, not Claude credits.

What are the odds that the architects of the Fed actually gamed things out far enough to know that Triffin’s Dilemma would be a thing, and that America would be weakening itself so by becoming the distributor of the world’s reserve currency? And if so, did they care? I doubt it. #asknostr

Shifts in national strategic priorities don’t fix misallocation of capital in a fiat system. Sorry.

A little recognition from her peers for my wife, who I encouraged to join the department 5 years ago. Rarely misses a call and emerging as a pretty awesome incident commander. Way to go babe. She was absolutely bawling when she was called up. Lol.
