Everybody wants to be big.
Nobody works to be strong.

Bitcoin is political philosophy. Freedom, manifest in code.
Erik Cason's sharp observations plunge the sword of sovereignty deep in the heart of the monster.
Without the ability to control money, the state cannot control the people.
We should all rejoice. Are we not all people?
Is not control both a burden on the oppressed and the oppressor?
The virtuous cycle has begun. We are no longer on opposite sides, competing for fleeting rewards soon lost to the scourge of inflation.
We have entered a new age of collaboration.
Citizens need no longer compete to ascend the hierarchy of domination within the state.
The states will now compete to draw the most productive and useful citizens.
Another bountiful conversation w/@thewholeframe

Not new to nostr...
But new to understanding the true power of it.
Also, blown away by the calm kindness of the builders here.
Struggling with the UX at times, and finding people to follow.
But...maybe it should be that way.
@Max is one of the heartbeats of nostr.
Breathing life into decentralized freedom technology as a builder and a philosopher, he lives the values he espouses.
Only on nostr. Acting by axioms. Moving with intent.
The money is broken, and we all feel it.
Our platforms of expression are less obvious...they work for most people.
But it's that tiny minority of people brave enough to speak out whose voices are silenced.
The state steals money.
Platforms steal speech.
Bitcoin fixes the first.
Nostr fixes the second.
*all zaps split with guests. Value-for-value is amazing!

Bitcoin Study Sessions: Episode 60!
We just unpacked The Mandibles—and it feels less like fiction every year. Lionel Shriver's 2016 book is coming alive before our eyes.
🇺🇸 Dollar collapses
💳 US renounces its debt
🌍 New global currency
🥫 Food shortages, gold outlawed
👨👩👧👦 A family forced to confront what wealth actually is
As money dies, so do identities.
As comfort disappears, morality shifts.
Survival replaces ideology.
The real question isn’t will this happen— it’s who adapts when the system breaks.📉
Empires don’t fall all at once.
They decay… then default.
Have you read it—or are we living it?
from your grateful hosts :
thanks for listening! share with friends and consider us yours - we're all in this together!

Jeff Booth - Freedom
If you’ve ever felt something is deeply wrong with the world but also felt an inexplicable optimism about the future — this episode is for you. The most mind-expanding Bitcoin conversation you’ll hear all year.
@Jeff Booth melts minds This is NOT another “number go up” chat. This is Jeff at his absolute deepest:
❤️ Why love & belonging is the hidden force driving every human decision (and how Bitcoin frees us from chasing it in a broken system).
🇺🇸How we’ve NEVER lived in a real free market… and what actual freedom will feel like when deflationary abundance finally arrives.
🔋Why fighting the fiat system only feeds it — and how quietly moving your time & energy into Bitcoin bends reality itself.
♟️The endgame: a world where jobs become optional, genius in every human gets unlocked, and consciousness itself levels up.
AI, ego death, exponential tech, Zoran Mamdani, stablecoins, privacy tech, El Salvador… he ties it all together with terrifying clarity and contagious hope.
Take the time to watch or listen, and hear this message.
Share with friends & consider us yours -proud to be on this journey with you.

"The Price of Tomorrow" - @Jeff Booth
Where Sal Pineda has focused on the social and cultural aspect, visionary tech entrepreneur Jeff Booth gives us a sober accounting of the battle between deflationary technology and inflationary money.
Terrifyingly, tech has been taking a beating.
The money is made worthless faster than revolutionary tech can make it useful.
But the story isn't over. In fact, we are just now reaching the inflection point.
Fold a piece of paper onto itself fifty times and observe the thickness.
After ten folds - .25 inches.
Twenty - four inches.
Even at thirty folds, it's thirty-four feet.
But the fiftieth?
Nearly seventy MILLION miles - almost to the sun.
This is Moore's Law in action - the defining observation of technological advancement.
For decades we dismiss exponential improvement because it seems irrelevant.
Then it astonishes us.
The car drives itself, better than any human.
The AI detects and treats cancer earlier, more accurate, and for the cost of a few cents of electricity.
The power itself crashes in price such that the peasant of tomorrow will have access to more electricity than the nation-states of mid-century.
The Price of Tomorrow is the story of deflation, the power of exponents, and the questioning of a post-economic society.
The boat shall be rocked, and we're here for the ride.
Grant and I break this one down, throwing a special thanks to @Nackoo2000 for the recommendation.
spoiler alert: There's a hero in this story...

Art is not shared.
The dam holding heart’s current has burst.
The soul swept away, gasping to remain.
There is peace is the power of being pushed toward purpose.
The invigorating terror of a current unleashed.
“A drag show is the perfect first date”
Or…
“Who can drink the most Busch Light?”
Dating in the US is wild.
Welcome to Kansas, folks.
In less than twenty-four hours on NOSTR, the podcast I host made money.
In over ten months on Youtube, Spotify, and X it did not.
This platform allows for the realization of Kevin Kelly's idea of a thousand true fans.
Incredibly thankful for this code and all who develop on it.
There has never been a better time to be an artist and creator.
