Time to get my read on!!!!!! Already have cryptoeconomics, but a few others in the “currently reading” pile

I self censored a lecture last week, unsure I’ll be able to maintain it this week, “anyone want to win a bitcoin bottle, the freedom water tastes so much purer”

By taking away the healthy red light……..

It is a very dark avenue the government have turned down, and given the “yes minister, so long as I keep my paycheque” morals of so many MPs, and the crazy villainization of anything thinking of voting reform, I worry.

It makes me laugh that people still try to “influence” the people who haven’t realised all their “reach” is dependent on the blue check “protection payment” they send to Elon.

Should say “many asylum”, also, the return of indefinite right to remainer who secured it under false pretenses (“I’m from Pakistan and started off on a student visa), should absolutely be deports, same with any idiot who thought that made sense!!!!!

Fun fact, asylum seekers are not asylum seekers. They just want the shit jobs (and any benefits available) that the mother fucker class want them to do to falsely boost fake gdp figures.

Gm nostriches, final screenshot of this petition, it will get to a point where the numbers of people sitting at their computers are meaningless, nostr:nprofile1qqspgz966pym4w9r3wtkqad0leqncdfph0h0vtxyec6422vlf9cl9jsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyfhwue69uhnzv3h9cczuvpwxyargwpk8y84p5rk reminding me of these NPCs, keyboard warriors “voting harder”

These will not be the people who make a difference, it will be the recalcitrant individuals, unwilling to change, those with a mindset of when they felt more free, both free to do what they want but also free to fuck up if they chose and get wrapped on their knuckles by someone (not the law knocking at their doors)

True resistance starts not at the 2.1million, but at the individual, who stands up and says no. No to the “laws of unintended consequences”, no to the silent tax of inflation, no the removal of personal privacy. All the old dears getting arrested for holding a “terrorist banner” in London are this gang, they know the consequences, but they did it anyway. So remember;

“Everything’s a risk if you’re a fucking pussy” (🫡 nostr:nprofile1qqsfkmv4ka4qzxg6f3mcrptgrmtl808d9ll63eq4zmk8sfqtyyegtagpqqq3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdau8gu3wv3jhvyckcex ),

don’t be the person signing a petition and then complying. Resistance, freedom and ultimately individual meaning comes from taking action, showing the world you have agency, you can act, rather than just bitch and moan.

Cheers freaks, you’re the best.

Ha ha ha, 100k and “they have to debate it”….. not actually do anything, but even if 10% of those signing the petition just resist a little with the IDs and maybe decide to take there money out of the cucked system, who knows what could transpire……

🍿 time….

Well that or don’t believe your academic supervisor when he says “let’s write a book together”, then give you some crap draft chapters and make you write the rest…….. deep breath, it was a long time ago. 😂

Happy Friday freaks, a bit of a monster rip, but absolutely awesome, dark, but on the money. Almost everything going bad on the world can be attacked by removing your time-value (fiat) from the system and going full btc, then shake your rancher’s hand while going local!!!!!

I’m really beginning to wonder, is Kiersef Starmlin really this bad at reading the room? Who’s advising him on this shit? Firstly, if they can’t check the ID on the illegals (as simple as, “so bru, just wait ‘til a run your prints through interpol, what you can’t show me you’re no a crim, sorry bro but back you go”) , why would anyone think this whole system won’t be a multi billion pound cluster fuck?!?!?

Kyc free #bitcoin and circular economies is going to go WILD.

@efrat and @max with so much signal. Individual sovereignty, privacy, it is music to my ears and the moral obligation I now have to remove all remaining fiat from my bank account has just been turbocharged. I cannot be an enabler of fractional reserve banking and support the inflation inducing loans they create.

Ga nostriches, first lecture done, didn’t play my nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszxthwden5te0wp6hyctkd9jxztnwdaehgu3wd3skueqjemq9j clip to tell them if they don’t have an opinion, or are curious they’ll live miserable lives…… the free speech reference and a four letter word may not hit the tone in universities and the uk at the moment. Saying that, did make a referencing to research providing a means of free speech to investigating things you find interesting, and give you meaning. “Speaking the truth clearly enough and people will get violent”, year may keep such quotes for another time.

If it didn’t have my awful monotone voice, I may even put a clip up tomorrow……. Hmmm, to doxx my voice or not doxx my voice, that is the question.

Gm nostriches, after the proper grim weather of yesterday, the clouds have actually parted and the weather forecast has turned a full 180, while staying nice and cool.

All systems engaged for a day out on the #bikestr, 3 months after getting the new rig, time to give it a proper shake down.

But first #coffeechain with the temporary #dogstr

Gm, haircut time, serious #cryptocapes action, tipping pot to the guys is looking very healthy, another 3034 sats today (not many sat/£). And for added Gm vibes, a #coffeechain. 🫡🙌

Gm nostriches, now the summer is done, interesting to take a look back on the full data. First off, very messy for all data, but 2025 not an outlier. Post halving summers interesting, on the low side but much less volatile than previous years (“dipping” to 108k!!). Finally compared to the average, came up to touch in early August, and after a new high backed off.

While getting two new all time highs during the summer is impressive, this summer doesn’t appear to be anything special, and sorry guys, no 2017 repeat. But from other data, we could just be building another base for another 10% leg up……. #bitcoin, stay humble freaks, and stack sats.

There is no justification from the side of the murderer, there is no “he had some views people don’t like”, there is no “well, if we had gun controls”, you cannot attempt to justify cold blooded murder. This is the definition of a terrorist act.

Keeps bringing me back to this meme, when there is justification for the rights on the criminal. Not a smoker, but could do with something to go along side this #coffeechain this morning nostr:nprofile1qqsg246x7cn2y4dxslc537l73g0f038z6z8k9ss5n3vep9lp8z3h02qpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucp8pmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvuhxyetwvd5x7erjdanxvtnrdakj7mn0wd68ycmvd9jkuap0v9cxjtmkxyhhyetvv9us9lh35y, instead enjoying a pastry I made with my kid this morning. 😍 https://fountain.fm/episode/6vtEdgehdhsP7KJtlBND

My favourite game at the moment is “which is the next joker they’ll bring in”

No one wants to have the full confidence of Starmlin. A strong predictor you’ll be out in days.

Truly loved his response yesterday, (in robot voice) “we’re following all the correct procedures”

Also love Mandelson’s responses, “I deeply regret being introduced to him”, yep, so this isn’t your fault….. but one thing’s for certain, your judgement of character is dog shit mate!!!

Gm nostriches, catching my morning moments of quiet before the day, #coffeechain in hand, #dogstr keeping me company.

I do like dogs.

Today’s vibes plus #coffeechain

And what do you sell it for. Gm.

Gm nostriches, it’s lazy, it’s not that creative, my meme game is C+ at best, but as my own way of better understanding “socialism” but let’s not lie to ourselves, “communism” when they move from theory to practice,

All her money literally came from the state (unions, medical malpractice or mp wages), and by state, I mean from stealing from productive individuals.

UCI downhill world championships tomorrow, hoping to watch a bit live. Champery is a total monster of a track, unbelievable Ronan Dunne is looking quick so has potential to be Ireland’s first ever world champ!!!!! Track is proper steep!

Hey nostriches, kid’s iPad died last night, black screen of death, have been sending her sats for a little while from ridiculous Bitcoin mining games and she had got up to around 25k sats.

Fully my fault, didn’t back up enough or get to save the seedphrase. Even small bit of sats are important, double check your backups freaks.

New iPad, so time to upload her another wallet of Satoshi (or maybe get Alby) and this dad bad will make her whole……. BUT, we can now save the seedphrase together, this will be the mistake that will become a life lesson. 🫡🙌

Gm nostriches, first Saturday of the month 10k #runstr done, slow and steady sub 55mins), but enjoying the likely final completely light run before the nights really start encroaching. Hydrated, showered (yo nostr:nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz7k9e8cp will be hitting you up soon), #coffeechain prepping and maybe a touch of Lionel shriver on the side.

For all those people selling stuff for Bitcoin, FYI, don’t tick the gift box if sending to the uk, vat limit on gifts £39, customers charges for items over £135!!!!! The HMRC don’t want you sending gifts internationally. Momma said don’t hate people, but sometimes they don’t make it easy.

Ah saw that (our feeds may be similar), RR with a clown 🤡 face? Whoa, that could be the end of days…… or the printer gets a supercharger and those with hard assets stay quiet…….

Really wondering whether I should massively downsize my house (and exit centres of population), so I can keep some value when the property marks goes💀

If in doubt….. Saying that, isn’t next year going to be a red? #blockclock

Always great hearing the history of faketoshi, cheers @I man; Daniel of the family prince; all rights reserved., feels like a case of sunk cost fallacy, “I’ll just tell a little lie” and one thing leads to another, and before he knew it, he was $700 Million deep!!!!!

I find it fascinating he’s currently a post graduate researcher in Exeter uni (or maybe Portsmouth), putting out some questionable pieces, one about the current btc is not Bitcoin (published in 2025). Really wondering what he’s trying to do….. also his holding company may not be owned by the crown (side story), if only he held more allodial assets.

Felt like the right shore for listening.
