Sold baklava for Bitcoin in 2011

Bitcoin block space is on sale this morning

Not at all. It's the #1 freest state in the country, according to the Cato Institute. The actions of a few don't represent everybody. There are plenty of bitcoiners in the FSP.

I have no issue with competing currencies. The market will decide on what's best, and right now Bitcoin is miles ahead. If some people in NH want to voluntarily use other payment methods then go for it. They'll respect your right to do the same.

I've said this a million times in the past and I'll say it again - I'd much rather be around ancap shitcoiners than statist bitcoiners.

It's been at least 5 years since I had a panic moment over the Bitcoin price.

Living in the eye of the hurricane.

BTC is not popular there, and no one I saw accepted lightning payments. Lots of bcash, monero, and the NH Goldback.

Silver dimes worked, and that's what I used. They've always been my favorite way to buy things at PF.

I mean it's a start, but try to explain self custody. Also recognize that some may not want personal responsibility, sadly.

It's not about apeing in, it's about stacking over time. Not everyone will drop everything for BTC.

Show greater interest in your family holding Bitcoin, and less about what billionaires are doing.

I'm at PorcFest in the White Mountains of NH. My 6th time here, but first time in 10 years. Great to be back to the place where I fed everyone with bacon weave sandwiches 4 years in a row, my love of Bitcoin blossomed, and where I first met my wife IRL. 🧡

For those who don't know, PorcFest is a week long festival run by the Free State Project. The FSP is an organization that wants to move like-minded, freedom oriented people to New Hampshire. It's been quite successful, as NH is typically the #1 freest state in the US, according to The Cato Institute.

That said, there is a lot of Bitcoin FUD here.

It's amazing how great of a job technically illiterate shitcoiners have done with spreading false information.

I support competing currencies. People should have the freedom to decide, and plenty of vendors here are open to options. Lots of monero, gold, silver, bcash, dash, etc. I've enjoyed using silver dimes and quarters to pay for things. Great to get rid of them! 😂

The "Roger FUD" has made it very difficult for folks who aren't as technically savvy. I say that as someone who isn't as technical, but took a lot of time to try to understand all sides during the blocksize war.

People made the move for more freedom in their lifetimes. I hope more folks challenge the negative things they've heard about BTC. Folks who store their wealth in silver or bcash should question why their purchasing power continues to decline. Why it can't even keep up with inflation.

More purchasing power = more time = freedom ✌️

I'm still extremy bullish on NH. Plenty of hardcore bitcoiners here, but the FUD is present.

Neither Trump or Biden are our allies. Politicians are psychopathic liars that will say anything for votes, and voting is rigged.

Ross Ulbricht is an ally, and unless he escapes prison, his freedom relies on the actions of a president. That's his awful prison reality.

We owe a lot of Bitcoin's success to The Silk Road. "Fuck you money" isn't about buying coffee or food. It's about the transactions governments say you're not allowed to make.

Bitcoin is worthless without this characteristic.

Do what you can to help Ross, even if you know a particular action, like signing a petition or voting, is symbolic at best. Even if it's a longshot, a hail Mary, a near impossibility.
