This is somewhat embarrassing to admit. I’m the kind of guy who can quote you Shakespeare all day but couldn’t write a line of code with a gun to my head. I’m woefully nontechnical.
It took me a long time to wrap my humanities brain around the tech of #bitcoin, and almost a half decade later I’m still learning everyday.
The tech of #nostr, candidly, is even more intimidating to me. But I’m also in awe of it and all the builders working on it.
I’m always thinking man, I wish I could contribute more, but I just don’t have the skills!
But then I realized, the biggest contribution I can make to Nostr is just to bring my whole, weird, uncensored self to it, to bring my life energy, my thoughts, and my passions to it. And if we all do that, whether we’re technical or not, this is gonna be a wondrously alive place.
Anyway, Friday night thoughts.
You’re all great and truly inspiring. Gn.

Gonna pour this in my coffee every morning
This is a real front page headline on a major mainstream media news site. Not an Onion article. 
My interview with the legendary Redd Kross is up on nostr:npub1xm82eyq6exvrh5pzfnlfyfxhusdh2f7sjguy0204ggxhxrfyz2xsvt3el2 https://v.nostr.build/4bBPOqMyaYUKu0ci.mp4 nostr:note1ea6nuj956fcmht4ea29y50966zts7nsehyjae92hk6e2rkcez9ysfs0ke6
“Acid Raindrops” remains maybe my favorite rap song of all time. Gonna have to check this one out.
So nostr:npub12lzwey2hjc2ce0stwa3ldhg04h93wj263lvdhrf87qfzz9jsggeqwuntw2 shared this clip with me and this is literally every American leftie who is into Bitcoin 🤣

I’m disappointed in the framing from both parties here. I think it’s incorrect to say these erstwhile Bernie supporters who became Bitcoiners “checked out of politics.” I think that framing assumes politics can only be undertaken or engaged with via the two-party system, which is a concession I think we should more vigorously refuse to make. Speaking personally, I think Bernie’s loss was more of a wake-up call to the corruption and rot within the dem party machinery and the need for a different path. Which then led to the Bitcoin rabbit hole. I think Bitcoin is a lifeboat for many things and circumstances, and among them it’s a lifeboat out of the two-party duopoly (or so I hope). I’m wholly uninterested in slamming Bitcoin into the dem or Republican Party platforms and deeply interested in Bitcoin facilitating new coalitions, new platforms, etc and I think that’s actually a kind of hopeful political undertaking, as opposed to a “checking out.” With respect to Bernie’s comments about how turning to Bitcoin is “not good enough,” he’s obviously trapped in his own ideological bubble, and clearly has no understanding or even interest in understanding bitcoin. Probably a longer conversation to be had on this, but suffice to say I’m disappointed. But it confirms my belief that we need a third way, something to break the two-party stranglehold. And I’m hopeful Bitcoin can play a meaningful role in doing so.
Another day in the fiat mines

I have to drive 3.5 hours to a hearing tomorrow. Neither my client nor the judge has any idea how many #bitcoin podcasts I will absorb during this drive.
Suffice to say, will be bulled up.
