Did a presentation yesterday with ego death team to over 80 funds, family offices, and high net worth individuals. All smart and curious. Just caught in the wrong frame of reference - like we all were at one point.

…And….Every time I do a presentation, talk or meeting (outside of #nostr ) it reinforces how unbelievably early we are on this journey.

One of the reasons, I was early and so intrigued with the internet, is that the smartest people I knew were moving their time to it. (Before it was captured by broken money)

The same thing playing out on the #bitcoin protocol with a massive added plus…..Not only the smartest/most curious people, but generally those with a high level of integrity and aligned values.

Feel so much gratitude to you all!

And good morning.

Good morning 🫡

Bravo, Jeff. GM🫡.

Gratitude 🙏 friend: Goodness and love for humanity has to win. 🥇

but also … FYI 👇

Ty - Must be Alby integration. Will fix.

You’re welcome. ☺️ 🫂

Did you migrate to the self-custody Alby Hub yet?

Not yet.

That’s going to be a little project for you then. Since they switched to Hub-only this month you have to choose between a cloud-hosted paid version or the free one you run on your own hardware. It’s not as hard as it sounds but there are more steps involved.

In the meantime, you can get Coinos set up (made by your fellow Canadian friends) in about 2 minutes while you’re figuring out what to do with Alby.

Good morning, Jeff!

Couldn't zap you.... It says it can't create invoice

I've always said that Bitcoin is one killer app/platform away from mainstream eyes . Netscape then Explorer brought the internet to our homes and really showed us what the internet was about. So I keep thinking what would that thing be for bitcoin..

Bitcoin’s killer app is protection from currency debasement. Those that understand that use it, but most don’t understand the problem, therefore don’t see Bitcoin as a solution, just a risk on asset

Yes, but how many people around you who are in dire need for Bitcoin but can't seem to grasp it? Without the web browser the internet would have continued to be a misunderstood niche protocol, for a while of course. Bitcoin needs that spark of practical ingenuity that makes everyone go "aha I need that"..

Might be my naive thinking though.

Everyone would benefit from moving to a Bitcoin standard, but most just aren’t wired for the self custody era of Bitcoin. We’re still really early!

👏

Good morning Jeff! So thankful for your perspective on life 🫂

🙏

🙌🏽 good morning

Welp, gives the Plebs more time to be stacking 👊

Good morning Jeff, thankful to be on this journey too 🫡

Good morning! I found mySelf talking to the dentist about Bitcoin yesterday. I clean pools😁…it’s way more than just being smart. I know it’s my spiritual alignment that led me to Bitcoin which led me to here. It was so very cool to witness the curiosity taking place and the eyebrows lift when I stated I never understood inflation until I got into bitcoin.

Thank you Jeff for you posts, interviews, and presentations that contribute to my conversations. Keep making those aha moments 🧲❤️

Wise words for so early on the morning! 🫡 Unable to zap you, though. 🫤

The great thing about bitcoin is that you don't need to be smart to benefit from it. Just buy it.

GM Jeff, I was one of those in another decade in 90s when a colleague showed me how she could email someone else in another university via the terminal. She was super excited about it and I was so arrogant, small minded and not curious enough to understand. My ego got in the way...not going to repeat this mistake with bitcoin!

Educating investors is great (🙏🙏🙏) but I also try to talk to senior lawyers as they are often consulted in investment matters. Hardware wallets for x-mass gifts seem to be working pretty well to get them curious! Cheers!

🥰

Just reading through the conclusion of a paper, passing by a reference to price of tomorrow. Thank you. 🫡🙌

Good Morning Jeff. Enjoyed your most recent talk with Natalie.

Bet your presentation (to that HNW crowd) will have a greater long term impact than we can imagine. Thank you.

“The Price of Tomorrow” should be required reading for all high school students.

Love your work Jeff! 🙏🏽

🙏

Lol indeed, the recent holidays gave me such a good sense of perspective of how deep down the rabbithole I am, how far I've reprogrammed under a deflationary system and how frame of reference counts for so much. Instead of being attacked to NGU fiat figures, I see the value I provide the market gets more valuable over time, I see my life being cheaper to run over time and I see that these network effects are relatively still small and grow at compound rates as more people figure it out and transition.

Its mind blowing

Morning Booth! Keep crushing 🤙🏽

Mr. Booth, thank you for YOUR time spent educating as many as possible. You also have an open mind that seeks uncomfortable truths, as well as looks forward and aspires to what could be. I really enjoyed your latest talk with nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech .

Obviously I believe that “for profit” capitalism will be crippled by #bitcoin but not completely erased. Your outlook points to this, even though you don’t say it out right, yet. We are all in this together, this time we have bitcoin, barrier to entry/capitalism now has competition. Bitcoin does 90% of the work, ideology will make up the 10%, and that is the necessary work you are doing. Again, thank you! #proofofwork

Good morning Jeff. Listening to your talk with Natalie. Thanks for sharing your insights with the world!

Absolutely 💯

Good morning.

Shifting that frame of reference can be really, really hard. Feels impossible in many cases. But then, it’s the people who most need the shifted frame that are easiest to get through to. They’re just not that easy to identify beforehand.

You continue to be an inspiration every day. Thanks for your work, Jeff. Do you have any good resources like basic slideshows or something for someone wanting to do community education projects? I want to try to get an educational community Bitcoiners group going but don't have a ton of time to develop resources. I can talk bitcoin and Austrian economics for days, but wondering if anyone has put together some good bullet points in a logical order for people new to BTC.

Mi primera Bitcoin and hope.com have some great resources. So does nostr:npub14hn6p34vegy4ckeklz8jq93mendym9asw8z2ej87x2wuwf8werasc6a32x maybe others can answer here.

Good Morning Jeff!

Thanks for your book and efforts!

I assume this was a conference or event put on by another group? Can you share the name? It does feel early and I do have the same feeling that I had after running a bulliten board for years and roaming the internet in the eighties we'll before the world wide web. When http was all the rage I had the same idea as Bezos and others that tried to sell books online and tried to get wholesalers in on the emerging technology. I was way too early and had no idea what I was doing but this time around, while early, we have the tools and communication platforms that are vastly superior (think CompuServe) to build so many amazing things. I agree that those in this realm are second to none!

Was put on by our team.

Thanks Jeff. As someone only 2 months into a bitcoin journey, your insight has made my resolve much stronger. Still mildly terrified by how human ego will try to destroy it. Looking forward to seeing more high net worth entities and individuals publicly revealing their support.

🙏

Truly loved the Natalie B interview, think it finally clicked

💜🧡🙏

GM Jeff

What was the Message of your presentation, Jeff and how was the reactions of those people. Am curious.

Very positive reactions…but so new for them. The framework, the protocol, everything. Challenging for them to really understand its implications.

Do you mean that Bitcoins value proposition - digital scarcity, Store of Value - was hard to understand or the technical stuff Like the Mining, hashrate etc? Or rather the big picture that you drew in your book with technology and the free market being deflationary and needs a non inflationary money to really play out?

GM Jeff, Do any of your companies need a retired bitcoiner to do some R statistical work on a trial basis for free?

I took your advice and don't give energy to fiat world now.

I can afford to do that while still paying for all my kids college tuition, but I'm gonna need to figure out how to generate some btc income eventually.

We’re all grateful for you, too, Jeff! Thank you for all you do!

Thanks for sharing Jeff. I share the same especially for family offices and HNWIs in the MiddleEast and Africa. Yet it's where it's most needed.

Grateful to you and all the builders!

Good morning!

GM, Jeff. You’re making the world a better place.

Gm Jeff thank you for this!

GM 👏

good morning Jeff! While I don’t run a venture capital firm I can definitely relate to this feeling. I recently deleted all my socials (Reddit, X, Instagram, Snapchat) because any time I tried engaging about Bitcoin or Nostr I ended up feeling like I was talking past someone. A lot of people just aren’t there yet

Good morning Jeff. Keep doing great things 👏👏👏👏

And I thank you for all you do for Bitcoin. 🙏

This is powerful. Early on, the most intelligent high values people gave me interest in #bitcoin, while the altcoin scene had a different "get rich quick" vibe.

i still find family the toughest sell 🤣

Also loved your talks on Natalie's show... She always asks the questions that I'm too afraid to ask lol!

I’m completely rewiring my world view thanks to ur work sir. These particular two sentences have been living rent free in my head last week:

“Productivity is faster deflation”

“Inflation is the greatest lie ever told”

🤯🙏

🙏

Good Morning Jeff, right back at you, very grateful for what you have thought me without even knowing! One day, I will meet you and thank you in person

Thank you for all the time and energy you put into helping others understand, Jeff. 👏🏻

GM Jeff. Well said. Sound Money. Sound Body. Good Vibrations! Your most recent chat with nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech seemed to hone in more clearly about the natural state of the free market HAS ALWAYS been deflationary.

What does GM mean and why do so many people here say it?

💪

Thank you Jeff for shining a light on one of the leading issues of our time.

PS I tried to ⚡️ your post but got this error…

Same

My go to Bitcoin mentor 👏

good morning :)

So true. No better way to realize how early we are in bitcoin than by talking to someone about Bitcoin 💭

You love to hear it.

that feels good to read.

thanks fella' 🤙

Amen to that Jeff! Great journey to be on alongside people such as yoruself

What a time to be alive!

No kidding! What a ride.

What a time to be alive! Thanks for your inspiration and leadership.

Sir! 🫡

As someone who currently runs a “traditional” lower middle market private equity firm and has the same set of investors for target LPs as you are approaching Jeff, I APPLAUD YOU for being on the frontlines of educating that cadre. I KNOW how set in the old fiat thinking that group is. I’ve started some conversations about putting BTC on the balance sheet of a few of our private portfolio companies - even that conversation with LPs is exceptionally difficult (inspite of the backwords testing results)

We are SO early!

Keep up the good work and happy to assist / collaborate if the team needs support! 🫡

Much appreciated and great to meet you here. Just followed.

Love love love your work Jeff - just finished watching the latest video with Nat.

Deflation is the Natural Order Of The Universe! 👌🏽

🧡💜🙏

it's great that you're having those conversations with your portfolio companies and LPs. We are so early but have come a long way in terms of 'career risk'

100%

Thanks always keeping it real and inspirational Jeff

We all sure were, would love to be a fly on that wall! Really enjoyed your recent chat with nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech on her pod. Appreciate what you do 🙌

🙏

It really is something special🍊

doing the Lord's work Jeff - really grateful for you. Im sure you'll keep fighting the good fight 🫡

Sadly, many are still hopeful that the existing controlling and centralized system can be fixed from within; from within the same system that created the problems that have dehumanized and demoralized. The same system that created and will continually propel the hopeless, damaged and cynical state of affairs all around. You said it correctly, we were all there at one point. In time, many of those same folks will exit with the decentralized and permissionless protocols that we have come to realize are the real sources of hope. #Bitcoin #Nostr #Fedimint #Fedi #CashuEcash - Gratitude is extended to all those working tirelessly in service towards what humanity should look like. We are still early.

What are you selling to these funds?
