It’s hard to go back to X after being nostrified. Nostr is pure signal. So many takes are spot on. X is full of noise. So much nonsense to sift through. Glad to have found you all. We will explain to our grandkids one day how we bootstrapped the freedom that they revel in. #bitcoin #freedom #nostr

The beast is not some externality. It’s not the central bankers. It’s us. Everything that we despise. Every single second it steals from your precious life. Every thing it takes from us. It must do so with our permission. It’s us. Unplug your energy. Starve the beast. #bitcoin

I’m addicted to working out without music lately. I’ve been listening to Bitcoin & philosophical audiobooks. No emotion. No short lived motivation and hype driven by the dopamine rush of music. Just cold, hard, pure work. A zen like state. With insightful giants in their intellectual fields feeding me wisdom as I lift heavy weights. #bitcoin #philosophy #zen

Bitcoin is light in a world of darkness Bitcoin is truth in a world of lies Bitcoin is hope in a world of despair Bitcoin is connectedness in a world of detachment Bitcoin is co-operation in a world of conflict Bitcoin is abundance in a world of scarcity Heaven or hell? The choice is ours

How it feels to find Bitcoin

@saifedean​ Hi Saifedean. A lot of my friends ask what gives Bitcoin it’s value. Like why is the market prepared to exchange tens of thousands of dollars of their hard earned money for 12 words to access an immutable ledger. Is it’s value based on faith that we all have for it (as in we all agree it’s valuable so it is so)? Or does Bitcoin have value on its own? I understand it’s very useful because of its scarce and incorruptible properties. But how does it gain value? It seems like a bit of a circular argument to say it’s valuable because it’s useful as for it to be used in the first place it would need to have value. Would love to know your thoughts
