1 ZH/s, ladies and gentlemen!

My favourite was the time I voted and they still fined me for not voting.

I sent them a letter that said "I did vote."

They sent one back saying "That's not a valid reason for not voting, here is $50 fine."

Great system

Can you run this through Ashigaru?

What does he have in his hand? 🤣

Trezor is security theater and a marketing machine. Just like most hardware wallet makers by the way. But Ledger and Trezor are kind of the worst. (and their stuff sux-)

The Bitcoiner community itself has become a lucrative business, thousands of vapid podcasts that in turn have sponsors of different kinds or look at the Bitcoin conferences.

This is not bad, all business is good but you must take it into account, we return to my maxim of life is a conjunction of interests.

You will not see podcast promoting Robosats, but you will see podcast promoting HodlHodl (KYC business even if they say they don't).

You won't see podcasts advertising hardware wallets free of secure elements, few will tell you the truth that from a technical and cryptographic point of view a Trezor T with SD protection is more secure with a coldcard.

I never saw anyone promoting joinmarket, I did see many criticisms of joinmarket from people who don't have enough technical knowledge and repeating Samourai's propaganda book.

Most podcasts will tell you a lot of lies that frankly hurt the community, so be careful, as I say Bitcoin has become a business for the Bitcoiners themselves and whoever can take advantage of others.

I love how the one billionaire in this group is sending $1.5 zaps like every other pleb here to not out shine us and still contribute to the greater good 😊

I get a ton of questions about my husband. As a somewhat public figure I suck at privacy, while he is a privacy maxi.

He’s my main editor, oversees support on my website, and yet quietly is like “nah, don’t want any attention.”

In 2021 when I went to a dinner/meeting at Saylor’s house, my husband dropped me off and then picked me up as my personal ride. To Saylor’s credit, he came out personally at night to make sure I was safe while I waited on the curb for a ride, as his only female guest that night and Miami at night can be challenging.

The next day my husband dropped me off at some VC event and my friend Elizabeth Stark was aware enough to be like “you got out of the front seat of that uber. It wasn’t an uber, was it?”

And I was like “No, that was my husband, lol.” He dropped me off at every similar event event that year (Ubers were hard to hire in 2021, amid pandemic constraints, so he rented a Camaro, since normal utility cars were sold out, and he drove me around in it to my various events and then wouldn’t enter them even though he could.

For years since then he does stuff like this. Touches events but purposely won’t attend.

We have a ton of pictures, but he doesn’t like them to be public, and allowed a 2022 vacation post, which I still use. Adding a second one here as a Nostr exclusive. The second ever public pic of him.

His first name is Mohamed, the most popular first name in the world, and yet hardly anyone knows his last name. Which is how he wants it.

He had dinner with Peter McCormack in Manhattan once, and then the only side event I ever got him to show up at was in Bedford at Peter’s CheatCode event. So Mohamed met Natalie Brunell, Preston Pysh, and a few other people there. And then went dark again.

In 2022 amid the bitcoin bear market capitulation depths while I was buying, he was like “So, how many do we have? Okay thanks for the breakdown, add way more here.” It’s up 500% since then.

When family members ask me about. Bitcoin, I’m like “well it’s this open source people can…” and then Mohamed intervenes and is like “She’s being polite. And also kind of her robotic retard self. You should buy a lot of it, here’s why.” Then proceeds to orange pill the entire extended family.

He watches some of my podcasts and knows a ton of people in both the bitcoin space and macro space, and then quietly is like “I’ll literally drive you there but then I’ll stay away, privately.”

He’s the GOAT at not drawing attention.

He also lies Nostr but doesn’t post here; or anywhere. He likes hearing updates though.

He unintentionally made himself as a meme by not posting publicly and being private. And yet if he saw it, embed be like “it’s ephemeral. Building a fitness facility is her gets direct sun. Need your input on whether it will meet our goals, since you optimize all these details.”

My favorite bitcoiner, who isn’t a bitcoiner.

Heathrow Airport closed all day, hours after Starmer threatened Putin.

There are no coincidences.

Why is YouTube recommending this to me

Some people say I should post more about bitcoin on Nostr.

But you already know about bitcoin, don’t you Neo?

Your real question is what you should do with it now.
