A long time Bitcoin Standard bearer actively training myself and my peers (so I have some), in the battle over ownership of our data, our money, and our communication channels in the war between decentralized free individuals and the centralized tyranny of the crowd.

I am looking forward to not just Meet-ups , but #SatstackingSaturday #SatoshisOnlyEconomicZones as neighborhood Bitcoiner garage sales/flea markets/art & crafts fairs popup in small towns everywhere.

This will eventually become the norm, the sooner we clear the Way, the sooner the no-coiners discover #TheTaoOfBitcoin.

None of the trade crafts are anywhere on anyone's list. My peers are aging out of this industry and there is a massive shortage of skilled residential construction trades. No one wants these careers because they require doing actual work.

Bitcoiners though appreciate the value of proof of real work done well. The satisfaction, the self reliance, and empowerment that comes from owning a useful skillet is something most of these kids will never know.

Even "Doctors" careers have been broken by fiat clown world with the debt, insurance models, and liability risks turn real healers into drug pushers.

I wonder how different these answers will be in countries other than the US...

A communications protocol enabling users to own their identity, their data, and their audience.

Brand ownership with fans and data controlled by the Creator, not thapplicationnor platform used to reach your fans, store your data, and grow your personal and professional brand names.

Equals #siegeproof capital that's immune to physical attack at point of use & point of production.

Brains beats Brawn when the wealth of one"s "Life-Time" dematebullies capital beyond reach of the bulloes. Doing so with zero holding costs while maintaining international liquidity without permission.

I have been using the 3d printer at nostr:npub1an84q6c03wml5lf0uwcqcr20ydwv0t0lvv0xktlcfs9seattef8sdhz6yg as containers for NFC stickers programming them thru LN Bits to create bearable and wearable spend/receive/sign/connect key tags. Combining the ideas from www.plebtag.com with Nostr identities to form a membership ID badge/wallet/key.

Physical interfacing devices that bypass paper and fiat money systems enabling face to face cash<=>LN satoshi OTC trading with reprogrammed LN vouchers.

I need help scripting the autimation of the many operations I currently am doing manually so this tool becomes scalable. Reach out in my DMs if you have the interest and skills to help with this.

What does financial sovereignty look like to you?

What do you think should be part of a Bitcoiner's financial literacy?

Vocabulary...

Grammer...

Disciplines...

Protocols...

These were fun ideas to consider and talk about with my freedom loving peers.

The benefits of the connections made with my fellow bitcoiners in person can not be measured or predicted, yet it is very real and powerful. Face to face interaction builds more depth and breadth of trust in less time than online interactions ever will.

It was my pleasure to share the small part of the 7 Satoshi Seas I have personally sailed in the decade since I first heard about Bitcoin. The connections made with my peers there are already leading to some interesting and unpredictable possibilities.

Next time we'll do better at capture content for reuse later. I'm gonna try to do so again here in the Puna district of Hawaiian soon. As the poorest county in the entire US, this community needs financial literacy and sovereignty and may be thirsty enough to drink from the fountain of hope that Bitcoin is.

Nope, I was able to send you those 500 sats directly to this post from my Android app. Just a small token of appreciation for what you do my friend.

Reach out when you have a moment, I'd love to get your ideas on how we might use Nostr to create a Nostr replacement for Purse, the now defunct decentralized BTC/Amazon marketplace.

The 1st Pleb Hut is coming together and the 2nd set of 3d printed brackets is almost complete.

There are many ways to "skin this cat", but I believe the latex cement canvas design pattern combines perfectly with this framing. Altogether this is will be a beautiful application of the Gradual Stiffening pattern from Christopher Alexander's Pattern Language book.

Here's a few photos of where I am now and where I am headed with this design. Decentralizing DIY manufacturing is an essential part of achieving #siegeproofsovereignty in our #SatoshiCitadels

Hardest part of brake pad replacement is taking off the tires. Save your sats and buy the pads to install for yourself. I just did this on my BMW for under $100, this level of maintenance is barely beyond doing your own oil change and not even as hard as a tune up replacing plugs, wires, etc.

You can do this! At most, you may need to buy a few cheap tools, i.e. a caliper press & maybe socket set.

My work only expands my wealth when I can trade my excess production for other's work that I could not, would not do myself.

For instance, I have done the work of writing a very useful book, yet no one has read it due to my lack of exchanging it with them, so that potential created by my doing the work has yet to be realized. Likewise, my doing the work of providing 10k hours of massage to clients on my tables created some small amount of wealth for me from each of them. But doing the work of curating, capturing, and distributing my knowledge and skills to the market through a video enables me to exchange that work with potentially many 10s of 1,000s. Yet, the capital creation won't occur merely from my "doing the work" of creating that educational course, it will only happen when I mannage to provide my knowledge in exchange for their sats that "new" value was created.

Now scale this up another level, looking at those providing services that cultivate higher volumes of exchange occurring more frequently, as you are doing with Azte.co and I intend to do with these PlebKeys. Facilitating faster settlement, more convenient entrance/exit of capital into/out of the marketplace, and not forcibly capturing their private data will create more wealth as a byproduct. Taking the brakes of the velocity of money settlement, removing the friction shrinking the flow of current, and removing impediments to entering/exiting the marketplace creates massive potential for growth once the parasites have been removed from the system.

'Tis the flow of those messages between peers that creates new capital, value birthed outta thin air due to our financial intercourse.

Exchange itself is how wealth is created; ideas, goods, &/or services measured & weighed in satoshis as the universal common denominator or value.

Replying to Avatar TnPermaculture

Bitcoin and Permaculture may seem worlds apart at first glance—one is a digital cryptocurrency and the other is a holistic agricultural approach. Yet, when examined more closely, their underlying philosophies and benefits interlink seamlessly. Here's why:

Decentralization: Both Bitcoin and Permaculture champion decentralized systems. Bitcoin operates without central banks or intermediaries, while Permaculture promotes local food production and self-sufficiency, reducing reliance on global supply chains.

Resilience: Permaculture designs prioritize sustainability and adaptability, helping ecosystems bounce back from disturbances. Similarly, Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it resistant to censorship or regulatory crackdowns, ensuring its resilience in diverse economic scenarios.

Ethos of Abundance: Bitcoin offers the possibility of financial sovereignty and abundance without the constraints of traditional banking. Permaculture, on the other hand, emphasizes abundance in nature, maximizing resource efficiency, and creating ecosystems that are more than the sum of their parts.

Long-term Vision: Both Bitcoin and Permaculture are not about quick returns. They're about building for the future—whether it's creating a durable financial system outside of traditional fiat currencies or cultivating ecosystems that can sustain future generations.

Community-driven: Both communities value peer-to-peer interactions and grassroots movements. Bitcoin relies on a global network of miners and nodes, while Permaculture thrives on knowledge sharing, workshops, and local community involvement.

Emphasis on Patterns: Just as Permaculture practitioners observe and mimic natural patterns to design sustainable systems, Bitcoiners often analyze patterns in market movements, adoption curves, and technological development to predict and navigate the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Innovation and Adaptability: Both fields are characterized by continuous learning and adaptability. New Permaculture techniques are tried and tested regularly, just as Bitcoin sees constant technological improvements and adaptations.

Transparency and Integrity: Bitcoin's open ledger (the blockchain) is transparent, and transactions can be verified by anyone. Similarly, Permaculture's principles like 'Fair Share' emphasize openness, community involvement, and equitable distribution.

In essence, both Bitcoin and Permaculture seek to challenge and improve upon existing systems, striving for a world where resources (whether financial or natural) are used efficiently, fairly, and sustainably. They represent tools for autonomy—financial and food-wise—in a rapidly changing world.

Like a well designed food forest, your satstreaming fountains will cascade ever more sats over time. Just as the next best time to plant a tree a decade ago is to do so today, so is launching your satstreaming content fountains today. Your future Self will thank you for both investments of your life energy.

Thanks, feels more like toiling in obscurity than in producing useful fruit and seeds than being seen by the masses. Worth it though when standing inside the proof of my work that will be enjoyed by the family I built it for over decades to come.

I am a residential builder looking to coordinate with my fellow bitcoin builders, land owners, and financiers to literally build a cottage industry building cottages for off grid Bitcoin Citadels..

Spent last winter building a geodesic timber framed Ohana Cabin on the Big Island of Hawaii. I'm about to go help a land owner in FL flip 18k Sq ft of residences on a 10 acre lot there. That may make a perfect multi-purpose Citadel for Bitcoiners to take over this Spring.

Is anyone else on here interested in hosting and/or attending a watch party for this tomorrow evening?

https://jonesplantationfilm.com/premiere/

If/when enough Zaps come in I will broadcast out this onto zap.stream tomorrow evening for my fellow Nostriches to tune in and share commentary and kinship as humans freed from social media plantations.

Bitcoiners understand very well, and Nostriches are learning how hard it is to convince those falsely believing they are free, that in fact they are slaves. When slavery is all they've ever known, freedom feels uncomfortable.

It is important for us to understand that a Freed man is a threat to both slaves and their masters. There is strength found in fellowship, gathering with our Satoshi kin strengthens those bonds.

Check out www.plebtag.com to learn how to program your own NFC version of the Azteco vouchers, for selling loaded and unloaded yourself. In Europe I believe Peach was trying make non-KYC satstacking possible there.
