I think he might.

I was not there, but I don’t think Ross was the hero Bitcoin deserved, he was so much more, More than simply an entrepreneur, freedom fighter, libertarian champion that defined #bitcoin’s transition from a niche peer to peer curiosity.

He sacrificed over 11 years of his life, continued to appear at least, to maintain a positive outlook when in all honesty there looked like no hope he would ever be free.

I hope, if nothing else, he’s allowed to take back at least some of the freedom and privacy he has lost over the years, and only once he’s rested and ready for his global fame, he’ll return to public life, but not before.

Peace and love to Ross and his family, I hope that one day I will see you released from the shackles of oppression, loving whatever you’re doing with the people you love. I can’t wait to hear about the next part of your journey but if you don’t want to share it, your choice. 🫡🙌

I think he already had a pretty good idea of how this might work….. #extropy

💥

Yes buddy, but it’s the law and weirdly I’ll get in trouble if I don’t maintain the facade that “taxes fund public services” 🤮 sorry just how my body reacts when I spew lies.

E-cash. 🫡🙌

We had the “Ross freedom watch” account, when the “Rossstr watch”?

I remember a time when not being “arbitrary and capricious” wasn’t something we felt the need to highlight as a good thing of government agencies.

If the Biden administration can be remembered for anything, I would like it to be presiding over “legislation through enforcement”, persecuting political opponents and believing “the inflation reduction act” was firstly not an oxymoron, and secondly not a clinically insane idea.

I also hope that the new administration will learn from this example, take the high moral ground and put this dark chapter into the history books.

Freeing Ross is a good start, but if you actually want to make America great again, having a government that is working for its citizens rather than against it, it again not something I thought I’d had to say, but is a good foundation. #freeross #freetornado

No enough equilibrium memes, must be some awesome material in there

The 100 year partnership they made with the UK just made me 🤦‍♂️

“Like the UK recently” nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a on what bitcoin did nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj, “currency down and yields up”, so basically that’s a double whammy, rats fleeing a sinking ship type scenario Lyn? Yes, yes it is. #bitcoin

Gm nostriches, feeling like today will be a day for the books, a day to add to the Bitcoin calendar (#rossfreedday), while all the time remembering that government is show business of ugly, dumb people, who don’t have enough motivation to scam people with a business venture (excluding trump), who will literally sell their own mum to get your vote to then steal from you.

Anyway, my slow brain took a while to realise I missed this meme. #bitcoin #grownostr

Gm Dan, 🙌🫡☕️💥

Talk about waiting for a more dramatic impact, the orange man likes making a statement just as we were beginning to doubt him. This is awesome, much better than an SBR, because it is about self custody and personal responsibility, and I have my own SBR (until it went to the bottom of a lake, fack)

Very very GM to my nostriche friends, what a fucking awesome day to be alive and happy freedom day Ross, come join the clear waters of nostrovia, you are free!!! And an important addition, this is not a commuted sentence, “full and unconditional” #freeross #rossfreed #bitcoin #grownostr.

You just made my day!!! Lfg.

Does anyone still ready scamtelegraph?

Ga mostriches, new release from a bike company I know, riding on some trails I ride on. Realising that if I want companies like these to stick around, I’ve got to support them!!! Their makes make it easy to like them. #coticfe https://vimeo.com/1048906108?share=copy

Great work Fran, looks like the leg recovery is going well. I only managed 1 x 21k for the challenge, but after doing a little more over the Christmas break (and running in the rain based injuries) I needed a rest. 🫡🙌

Oh, to be a fly on the wall of that first in person meeting between the two.

Oh no, what a shock. 🧐

Gm nostriches. #catstr in the laundry basket. Nothing to see here, just chilling with my sister.

Hey blockclock, what type of Porsche should I buy? Hmm, a little older, but air cool gorgeousness, I could probably cope.

Gm nostriches, not a prediction, just what the data is saying.

I’m with nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx re 2025 price action. I wasn’t here in 2017, but things seems quite similar (67 R squared between the 2 cycles, which isn’t nothing), mainly trump and his focus on the market, but don’t get too excited. We’re 100x since then, and could price just crab walk all the way through until August before shit got wild in 2017?

Why would this happen? Surely SBR on day one means “instant moon”, BUT, only a fucking moron would announce such stuff, and say what you will, there has to be at least one person with more than an IQ of 75 in the US government, and if there is, why ever would you announce an SBR if the announcement would itself moon the price and make reaching any target magnitudes more difficult?

SO, don’t announce, but sign the documents (legal or not, they make the laws and break them), do the $mstr play and employed the Saylor Buy Bot for as long as possible without releasing the information, fUD where ever possible and then by June or so (shifted cycles), announce they’ve reached their goals early summer, price starts to run through June and July (300k?) and early September, breaches 1 million early September , then peaks at nearly 2 million mid September before market exuberance loses steam and the shorts take hold. 20x for the year, like 2017 light be doable.

Unsure of it will play out like this, but getting ready for another 6 months of crabwalking which won’t do me any harm. Also I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there was a bump to 150 soonish (they can’t contain the impact of their buying) and then some sideways boredom, but don’t get excited and “realise some profit” (🤦‍♂️)

Interesting side note, 4th halving took place in April compared to 2016 which was in July. Cycles are aligned with blocks not calendar dates (but I don’t have to tell you). As a result, Jan 1st 2025 is the equivalent of 29th March 2017. This is why the data suggests the peak might happen around mid September, and from the price at halving as the base, 2017 29x’d the halving price, which would out the 2025 peak at around $1.86 million (not shit)

Fun fact, cycles aligned (days since halving) 26th March 2017 and 29th December, price was 1.467 and 1.468 (respectively) the price it was on the day of the halving.

Have an awesome days freaks, take it easy, stay humble and stack sats. #bitcoin but this is no TA!!

Did we just get a new one for gbp as well?

Gm nostriches, having a slow morning, chilling with a podcast, a #coffeechain and the #catstr in bed before the days gets running. Wondering if an ATH in gbp warrants an all time higher rye, that was I decided before hand would be exempt from dry January!!!!

I’m not a financial advisor, but this is financial advice; probably best not. 🫡🙌😆

Cheers nostr:npub1f4uyypghstsd8l4sxng4ptwzk6awfm3mf9ux0yallfrgkm6mj6es50r407 For the heads up, it didn’t take very long for this to happy, scary how quickly GBP has dropped since December 17th. But the all time highs of the weaker currencies just happen before we conquer the final boss.

Hey to anyone still saving in fiat, run for the exits!!!!

Gm nostriches, happy Friday.

I often think about how to introduce the topic of Bitcoin to someone. Every time I get asked, I fumble, trying not to be too bullish, not coming across as a know it all prick who got in early and then end up focusing on the uncensorable nature, which doesn’t resonate (I’ve done nothing bad, my bank account works fine).

Should I suggest a book? Or maybe an article? academic paper 😆 ? Btc magazine 🫣? , but getting someone to read the Bitcoin standard, while near essential for the next step, is still a hurdle, if they don’t want to know about Bitcoin, why would they get into that book in the first place.

But Bitcoin is simply that little bit of ice poking above the surface, with price being an ice cubes’ worth of it. Reading #genesisbook, I’m finding about the road to bitcoin, the why of Bitcoin, the who of Bitcoin and so much of what is hidden under the water.

How am I going to respond to people asking about bitcoin now? Still don’t really know, and still think the uncensorable nature might come up (you don’t want your account frozen), but maybe “let me tell you a story of something that began in the 1960’s” or just tell them that it’s complex, interesting and important, here, borrow my copy.

I’m not going to convince you now, I’m not bitcoin’s sales man, but if you’re interested, spending a little time learning about its origins (and other related topics) then come back to me with any questions.

Also, if you feel the need to google bitcoin, please be aware that your “trusted news outlets” such as the BBC openly lie about it and will fight any request to fact check with they publish. Thank you nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk and nostr:npub1hwgw0uznr49t4gullpgfz4m5xnakl5a0l88m3k382xv7ys0tfmlsd503sg and of course nostr:npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 https://fountain.fm/episode/DSIL2BCs0XyC42wd12Zd

I may not say anything, but you’ll be able to tell from the way I walk!!!

Gm nostriches, it’s not the best meme price, but it’s the best I’ve got. #bitcoin #blockclock

Work colleague: are you going to the talk about getting a promotion to associate professor?

Me: ha! Jump through their hoops to get a minimal pay rise to just have increased pressure to get funding and publish papers? I’m actually alright, I’ll just stay in my lane, doing MY research and not playing their games.

By the time I might actually get a promotion, I’m planning on not even being here. Cheers for the image AI, but I did want a more dynamic fight for a promotion. Got #bitcoin, don’t play the fiat games freaks.

The cost of free money is none zero.

My thoughts go out to him, cognitive dissonance can be a cruel prisoner guard. Hmm, not sure where that came from or if it quite makes sense.

Didn’t someone once say “gradually then suddenly” 🤔🫣.
