If AI reshapes labor and energy, blockspace will reshape sovereignty. Institutions, nations, and individuals who understand this first will gain an unbelievable advantage. I had the pleasure of hearing Bob Burnett speak on this recently, check it out👇

In this episode, Bitcoin mining veteran Bob Burnett breaks down one of the most important — and least understood — forces shaping our future: t...

Went surfing at Sunzal/Tunco today. Awesome wave for learning and nice vibe despite being pretty crowded. Meanwhile bitcoin price is dumping? IMO bitcoin gives us the opportunity to not worry about having a second job as a financial manager, and just live our lives.

@PUBPAY.me makes it possible to zap speakers during their talks! @Efrat Fenigson crushing it teaching us about CBDCs and why we need grassroots bitcoin adoption. It is the bitcoin builders who will take us to the bright orange future. @Francis Mars

How does creativity play a role in living on a bitcoin standard? If you’re in El Salvador this week come to my talk on Saturday morning! #AdoptingBitcoin2025

You can just do things

Made it! Great to be back in bitcoin country. 2 years ago I spent sats for the first time in El Salvador. Now I’m back and funding the trip with bitcoin I earned. Let’s go!

Received a proper “cavity search” going through TSA today. It’s always interesting when other travelers see you opt out and the treatment you receive as a result. I overheard one lady telling her friend she also likes to opt out, but was in a rush. Less than 1% of people opt out of the face and body scanners. Bitcoiners are opting out of the fiat system and imo we should opt out of the surveillance state as well. If we don’t exercise our rights how can we expect to keep them?

Last ride before travel. 33 miles to clear the mind and work the body.

One of my favorite poems: “THE DASH” I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on the tombstone From the beginning…to the end He noted that first came the date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years For that dash represents all the time That they spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved them Know what that little line is worth For it matters not, how much we own, The cars…the house…the cash. What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what’s true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect And more often wear a smile, Remembering this special dash Might only last a little while So, when your eulogy is being read With your life’s actions to rehash… Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent YOUR dash?

If you’re new to the topic of chemtrails/geoenguneering, Dane Wigington on Tucker will bring you up to speed:

The government has finally admitted that chemtrails are real. It’s called geoengineering and it’s far worse than anything you imagined. Dane Wi...

I have a very hard time believing the government can send a $2000 “tariff dividend” to every single person without printing. 100 million checks = $200 billion. The stated tariff revenue is $195 billion… However, I will give it to them it’s a great strategy going into midterms to regain some support after losing almost all of it over Israel/Epstein this year.

Rode the bike to the Bitcoin Walk today. Had some fantastic conversations… great ideas brewing… The only gripe I have is the egregious high altitude aerosol spraying that took away one of our precious Fall bluebird days here in the PNW.

Pretty wild thinking back to the decision to build on bitcoin. March 8th I made my first Nostr post, April 4th I was at the halving party in El Salvador… Grateful for everyone who has supported my journey and it’s just getting started. Since then I’ve been to more than a dozen bitcoin conferences, several circular economies and tons of meetups. Next week I will give a talk on tapping into our inherent creativity and living on a bitcoin standard at Adopting Bitcoin in El Salvador. Onward!

Gresham’s Law is not a law. Anyone who understands bitcoin is freedom money breaks this “law” whenever they spend sats…

I know it’s cringe to tell anyone what to engage with on Nostr, but…. If we want Nostr to grow we bitcoiners should engage with non-bitcoin related content here. Anyone finding Nostr who isn’t a bitcoiner is here for a reason- whether they understand it or not.
