My local bagel shop was brought an order of paper straws by accident. I begrudgingly stuck one in my iced coffee after asking if this was a permanent switch or a mistake. I took one sip and threw it away immediately. Paper straws are the worst.

The people with flowing liberal tears can’t fathom the fact that the US Government empire and social programs were funded by monetary colonialism. They’re not righteous social programs, they’re built on the backs of the poorest people in the world.

I’ve removed every social media app from my phone to take a break and I’m coming to the realization that Nostr is way less toxic to the brain without the doom engagement farming constantly posted on X

Fry my turkey in beef tallow this Thanksgiving 🦃

It’s the perfect day to delete Instagram, Facebook, X, and Telegram from your phone and take a break through the holidays. Join me 🍻

We are up to 37 surveys completed from Bitcoin Circular Economies and 105 surveys from Bitcoin Merchants. Excited to present this data at Adopting Bitcoin El Salvador and share it with the community. Thank you to everyone that has participated!

I really relate to @npub1dmcd...utjm in my upbringing as it relates to our age, hating school, and the constant need to challenge authority within the structures of system forced upon us, while also staying true to family and friends. Great podcast yesterday!

We are up to 25 surveys completed for my Adopting Bitcoin presentation! Thank you to anyone who has assisted. The survey can be found here, if you know a merchant accepting Bitcoin, please share: surveymonkey.com/r/8YG5GSQ

Very excited to announce that I will be speaking at Adopting Bitcoin 2024 in San Salvador on the topic ‘Managing Bitcoin Circular Economies Remotely’

LETS GO ☠️🏴‍☠️

@jack mallers you mentioned barter but didn’t really highlight the fact that Bitcoin is just a globally decentralized ledger and that ledgers and barter both pre-date gold as money. What are your thoughts on the argument that we are just documenting who owns what portion of the 21M and when we’re “transacting” we are actually just signing over our portion of that ownership to another owner?

I don’t think Bitcoiners highlight enough that what pre-dates gold is a ledger based monetary system.

Peter Schiff misses 3 things because of personal bias: 1) He won’t acknowledge that before gold, in a barter system, money was just a ledger of whom owed what to whom. Gold has fungible and portable monetary properties that allowed owners to possess and move it, but that has been co-opted by governments and central banks. 2) He agrees that software provides subjective utility value to people but won’t acknowledge that uncensorable cross border payments provides value 3) He claims that Bitcoin is not widely used as a medium of exchange, yet won’t acknowledge countries like El Salvador that have made it legal tender or merchants in circular economies accepting Bitcoin as valid It’s easy to tell that Peter Schiff has done a little bit of homework on Bitcoin but his arguments fall flat because he hasn’t done the work on the pre-gold history of money or critically thought about Bitcoin as a global uncensorable ledger

@Bitcoin Victoria Falls and @Humphrey started Cohort #3 today with 12 students in attendance! Onward and upward 🫡

Yo @kgothatso@8333.mobi! You know any developers interested in partnering on a Bitcoin company that would compete with Uber / Lyft by integrating Lightning, streaming sats, boosts, and splits (similar to Fountain). I am thinking we would launch at @Bitcoin Victoria Falls and El Salvador to start.

@ODELL @Bitcoin Park is there a Nostr equivalent of Meetup that’s worth attention yet? When do we leave the legacy systems in regard to Bitcoin Meetups? I’ll be visiting Bitcoin Park the last week of October and am hoping there’s an event that week 🫡

Shoutout to @jack mallers for speaking on behalf of American sports fans on the last episode of WBD while @ODELL shilled the MLS

You can't attend a @My First Bitcoin Node Network General Session meeting and not come out of it incredibly bullish on the future of education 🚀

The Coinbase Commerce experience is so incredibly bad that I was on imei.info last night, prepping to send unlocked cell phones to Zambia for my Bitcoin Circular Economy …. pause …. (!!!!) …. and I couldn’t pay with #Bitcoin 😳
