This is really what all criticisms of Bitcoin ultimately come down to: "I don’t like that you possess something no one else can seize, freeze, dilute, censor, or gatekeep. I don’t like that you can opt out of the system without asking permission. I, or someone I trust, must have the final say over how you use your property." View article →

Before any real Bitcoin circular economy can exist, you need a community capable of holding a meaningful share of its wealth in bitcoin. That should be the foundation. If people can’t sit tight through volatility and uncertainty, there’s nothing to circulate in the first place. Storing value demands far more patience and discipline than spending it, and I'd say that that cultural shift has to come before everything else.

X just keeps getting worse and worse. Barely any way to reach your audience. It's getting harder and harder to build a community there. Legacy social media is dying as it just keeps getting overrun by Indian bot farms. Being on Nostr just makes sense. The engagements here are a lot more meaningful, and people pay me sats for my posts.

The hardest part about orange pilling Muslims is explaining the individual sovereignty aspect. We seem to be very uncomfortable with taking responsibility for ourselves. That seems to be one of the core issues of our ummah that Bitcoin will help address inshaAllah. View article →

"A member of the human race who is completely incapable of understanding the higher productivity of labor performed under a division of labor based on private property is not properly speaking a person... but falls instead in the same moral category as an animal..."

Alhamdulilah. The presentation went well. Had a lot of people come up to me and ask questions. And some of the questions were pretty good, but a lot of it was the usual "how do I buy the bitcoin???" I also gave away a bunch of copies of my book. And every single person I talked to asked for my LinkedIn 😂 "nah I'm not on linkedin but here's my npub" View quoted note →

Legacy social media is a good outlet sometimes

So next week I'll actually be presenting at the Halal Money conference in the Bay Area insha Allah. I have a session where I'll be talking about "digital assets" 😒 but obviously this will be about Bitcoin. I only have a 20 minute session, so I'll do 15 minute presentation and 5 minutes for questions. This only leaves me time for about 5 or 6 slides, and keep in mind that most of these folks are suits working in finance industry. What graphics would you recommend I show? I think at a minimum I'll definitely show this one: Maybe I should show the historical chart of the Bitcoin price? The purchasing power of the dollar? What do you think?

First thing I see when I get on X Getting really sick of legacy social media in general. Every npc is like this.

They're both just socialism with Jewish characteristics
