Another @🟠 isolabellart original to add to the collection. These will be going on the walls of my new office soon!

I couldn't resist another painting from @🟠 isolabellart to celebrate the halving!

The term “content creator” seems like such an insult to me. And yet, many identify with it. “Creator” is great but “content” means commodity. “Look, we got this big black box. We must dump in whatever we can.” Create more content to feed the ravenous algorithm.

Can somedan please explain to me what’s going on?

“By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of its citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate *arbitrarily*; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.” - John Maynard Keynes Via @Lyn Alden's excellent book “Broken Money”.

My kids are a part of me that I didn’t know I had until they came into this world. That’s the best way I can describe the feeling of being a parent, at least for now.

I’m using a @https://silent.link Data.Plus eSIM for the first time. Works great for a Canadian visiting the USA. Highly recommended. No KYC, pay with #bitcoin.

I’ve heard #bitcoin described as boxes, each with a key (or keys) to allow the owner to transfer or repack the contents. I think this analogy is pretty good, but I’d add another critical piece which is location. Imagining Bitcoin as boxes immediately leads one to think of a vault of deposit boxes at a bank. It’s better to think of the boxes as distributed throughout the universe. There are 2^256 (10^77) possible private keys, about the same number as atoms in the universe. It’s amazing to think that one can effectively stash their wealth in the combinatoric equivalent of a single atom in our vast universe.

Thankful for #nostr and #bitcoin. We’ll be here when every legacy platform fails. Come on in. #grownostr View quoted note →
