Watched the movie "The Notebook" with my wife and daughter tonight. Nearly everyone yearns to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and to do something meaningful with their lives. What a blessed opportunity each of us has to be and do both of these with bitcoin.

So excited about initiatives like this, a big thank you to @BitcoinEkasi for organizing this workshop. 🙏

We'll have a release candidate dropping in the coming days, and I wanted to spend a few minutes going over our newest features. Our volunteer contributors continue to do wonderful work to keep moving our project forward -- all FOSS, all free, so amazing. If there's a bitcoin podcast or show you'd like to see our project featured on, please tag them in the comments. (Apologies for the HVAC in the background, hottest day of the year so far where I am!)

Whether you’re zapping or not, don’t be shy about smashing that like button here on Nostr. It’s 100% free and the micro-hits of dopmine that those likes facilitate are what will keep a lot of people engaging with Nostr.

For the ultimate "Moscow" timepiece -- appreciate @Printer letting me tinker with his OrangeClock enclosure design. (Great, now I have to buy red and yellow filament... 🤪)

If a baker's dozen is 13, then a banker's dozen must be 11.

Consensus narrative forming that the government should be entitled to steal at least 50% more every year from dollar savers. Time to opt out -- 'cause their dollar ain't shit.
