Wow, "Wednesday" season 2 might just be Tim Burton's greatest work, and he's done a lot of great work. If you have Netflix I very highly recommend watching this.

Gonna try doing here what I used to do on Facebook back when it was a place to share fun stuff with friends - not politics, moralizing or other stuff that's ruined social media.

Nostr is a part of bitcoin. It’s the arbitrary data layer. You’ll see.

Bitcoin: Not just a store of value, but a restorer of values.

What I think I love most about the bitcoin movement is how many people find purpose and meaning in finding their particular role within it. It's always something they care deeply about enough to forego everything else for. It's not everyone, of course, but even just seeing a few people, working with passion and integrity on what their calling is, is incredibly inspirational.

To all the shitheads in Bitcoin, Thank You: Bitcoin is for everyone, so let’s not forget the shitheads; those who not only fail to appreciate its importance, but go out of their way to undermine it; Who not only fail to teach others, but try to mislead them; Who not only fail to appreciate the equality with which it treats all of us, but who try to claim special status for themselves; WIthout you, we might grow complacent, our lessons might become dulled, our own egos might become puffed. But thanks to you and your tireless (but tiresome) attacks, Bitcoin and bitcoiners remain strong, sharp, and ready to spring into action (even if that is steadfast inaction, which you would label as ossified and close-minded). You wear it well, that head of shit. Rarely do you engage through reason, truth, nuance, or wisdom, nor do you come around after some time admitting your errors. No, you take it on the chin over and over, foregoing friendship, respect, honesty, and many other genuine spiritual rewards, not to mention the high monetary price you often pay if you actually put your money where your mouth is (which few of you actually do). So thanks to you unsung heroes – the villains – of the bitcoin story and its history. We need you and bitcoin needs you, even though you’re shitheads. Keep doing what you do so well that so many of the rest of us simply will not bring ourselves to do, or even to thank you for.

How Bitcoin Fixes Money and, In Turn, Everything Else (in 250 words): Nature is driven by forces. And in nature, to obtain some resource, a being takes it, most often by force. In human society, when something is taken by force from nature, like extracting iron from the earth, it is called being industrious. But when something is taken by force from another human, it is called theft. Since both theft and industry are possible using force, industrious people must use significant energy to deter theft, directing it away from further industrious activities. If we could direct more energy to producing wealth rather than to defending it we would be richer and more productive, and there should be less incentive to steal. This would kick off a positive feedback loop of abundance creation making theft unprofitable in many more cases and further increasing abundance, but we must first close the loopholes that rewards theft. In the realm of money, bitcoin achieves this. Bitcoin cannot be taken by force. It cannot be created except for with force that makes it harder to take bitcoins by force. It cannot be counterfeited, clipped, debased or devalued. Modern money has many such loopholes. They incentivize many people to dedicate their lives towards getting that money through un-industrious efforts - they spend their time and energy on activities that do not create any real wealth, but rob those who do create it of their wealth. By closing these loopholes, Bitcoin fixes money, and in turn, so much more.
Bitcoin is a game without frontiers, a war without tears.
It’s not only okay to tell the people you love that you love them, it’s encouraged. It makes you think about who you love (or don’t), and lets them know they’re loved. It makes you think about what love means to you.
I post on X because I feel like i still have a lot to say to the people there, but I come here looking for kindred spirits.
Hate to say this, but I just got off of calls with three very powerful people. No, they're not wildly rich. No, they don't control the lives of many others. No, they aren't going to pump the price of your bags. Their power is their self-sovereignty and their desire to be free, happy, and purposeful. You too are equally powerful. You only need to want to live your purpose and commit to doing so as your first step, even if you don't yet know what that is. From there you'll start to see a purpose you're passionate about and able to become more excellent at through the course of your life. And then, let go of your fears and start working towards making your dream a reality through hard work, perseverance, conviction, openness, an abundance mindset, focus, and determination.
he American dream of owning a house, having a steady job and a healthy family was noble for its time. The Bitcoinian dream builds on this by changing steady job to pursuit of one's true creative and/or productive purpose. … and, of course, the Bitcoinian dream is available everywhere to everyone, always.
