After a gruling weekend for moma bear which ended in a c section, we finally welcomed our son to the world!

One of the best days of my life.

He's got a nice stack of sats too.

Good night, legends! Don’t let the energy die down, or the zaps stop! Tomorrow I’ll focus on creativity and innovation! May you day be fruitful, and full of happiness! 🐶🐾🫂💜💤

Fiat “wealth” can’t transfer to Bitcoin.

There is no smart contract that freezes USD or anything. When you buy Bitcoin with fiat it just changes hands and signals intent. There is no way for fiat to function outside of the system. Fiat can only be destroyed by burning physical cash or paying off a loan.

Buying / selling Bitcoin for fiat can only affect exchange price of a given day (which fundamentally isn’t real). There are no 30 thousand dollar units held in one Bitcoin. You can sell Bitcoin only because there is a buyer, not because there is some fiat units frozen inside it.

Exchange price is just a mirage, but it feels like it’s real because everyone acts like it is. What we actually need is change to wealth denominator that’s fair & accesible to all. For that we need to build fully sustainable circular economies. When that is done Bitcoin / fiat price will be irrelavant.

People who respond with “make a PWA instead”, you are missing the point.

The point is not that we can’t circumvent this. We can stop doing things on iOS or simply not have zaps on posts.

The point is that every single app can no longer add zaps to posts. This is a big blow for the zap economy model. It means no other apps can explore what it would mean to support work with instant p2p payments. This is a blow to the future of lightning payments, marketplaces, creator economy.

There are 1.5 BILLION active iPhone users. To say, fuck Apple, let’s just do X instead is to say who cares about 19% of the world’s population.. we don’t need them in the bitcoin micropayments economy.

This demands a big response. I am not sure we are making it a big enough deal. There must be A LOT more noise happening right now.

Bitcoiners who do not understand this need to wake the fuck up.

Monday #zap #zap #zap time 🌊 ⚡️

When I was a kid living near Seattle, I would go to the local arcade and burn my quarters on the kiosks of the day. I finally figured that I better learn how to master one in order to maximize my play-time. My game of choice was Joust. With just a left-right joystick and a flap button, the controls couldn't be simpler. All you needed was to memorize exactly how all your opponents moved. At my prime, I could play for hours on a single quarter. I would literally "wrap" the machine through all it's levels such that it would start over. It was pure and simple domination. I never was able to do that with another game. Years later I would play PC games late into the eve. I make it to the final level of Doom but at the price of nearly falling asleep at my job. I finally got a project programming a game on a now long forgotten console called the 3DO. I spent sooo much time programming that game that it totally burned me out on the idea of ever playing a computer game again. Never picked up a game again seriously, but I remain fond of Joust where it all really began.
