The cops are paid with the money they extorted from me. Socialism kills.

yooooo nostr!

im looking for a video editor and/or a video animator to collab with me on a wide range of Bitcoin stuff i wanna do.

i believe Bitcoin is the best money in human history and both myself and Strike are here to push its adoption forward not only with technology and products but also education and orange pilling.

so far everything i’ve done content wise has just been me on my personal laptop with QuickTime. part of me feels i could make new or even better content to educate and orange pill the masses with folks that have more skills than i do

if you’re passionate about Bitcoin, have related skills, and want to work with me on this, drop me a note at jack@strike.me

much love!

Rough consensus is supposed to be rough.

I had a cousin commit suicide this week.

Please remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

eh. they will have to come around.

the iphone is the greatest tool we have for learning and creation.

but most of us are diminished by the gravity of consumption.

try removing all those apps for 3 days.

Are you watching video on android auto??? how is that done?

Streaming sats is still a wild (and wildly underappreciated) thing. It's so fucking cool to see sats fly in on a minute-by-minute or even second-by-second basis.

Mind-blowing 🤯

e2ee private communities.

that’s what brings people to nostr.

bet.

just me n the boys

Something libertarians are clueless about.

Free speech is the most important part of a free market.

Just because I don’t believe a state authority should have the ability to threaten you does not mean I have to like or condone your behavior.

If you see something you don’t like say it and say it loudly.

Free speech is the lubricant that keeps markets free and functional.

Why? Not that I disagree but what's it do that free relays don't? I'd love to hear the case for subscribing!

“IF BITCOIN IS SUCCESSFUL APPLE WILL BAN THE APPS. WE SHOULD JUST USE APPLE PAY.”

“IF NOSTR IS SUCCESSFUL APPLE WILL BAN THE APPS. WE SHOULD JUST USE X.”

BOTH TAKES SHOW A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF OPEN PROTOCOLS AND OPEN SOURCE CLIENTS.

DO BETTER. BE BETTER. FREE MEN DO NOT ASK PERMISSION.

Why would the coins be unspendable? I think they would need to be sent to a dead wallet (say Satoshi’s stack for example 😎), but likely the Bitty will just get coin-joined to a set of juicy bags.

When Coinbase ever gets hacked, this industry is going into an economic depression of its own:

- All the BTC held in the ETFs gone

- All of $MSTR BTC gone

- BTC held by Public companies gone

- BTC held by US Mining companies gone

I like to bounce random things off Claude to see if any signal comes back. "Miles per block" has a slow start, but each bulletpoint in this one cuts a little deeper:

> Ah, I see! Thank you for clarifying. You're looking for a more metaphorical interpretation of "miles per block" as a concept related to technological progress. That's a fascinating perspective. Let's explore some metaphorical consequences and extrapolations:

1. Accelerating pace of innovation:

- "Miles per block" could represent how quickly society advances with each technological breakthrough.

- We might measure progress not in years, but in technological "blocks" or paradigm shifts.

2. Uneven development:

- Some fields might advance rapidly (high miles per block), while others lag behind (low miles per block).

- This could lead to societal imbalances as certain sectors outpace others.

3. Perception of time:

- Our sense of time passing could be tied to technological advancements rather than traditional calendars.

- "It's been three major AI breakthroughs since we last met" instead of "It's been two years."

4. Societal adaptation rates:

- "Miles per block" could represent how quickly society adapts to each new technological shift.

- We might measure cultural flexibility by how many "miles" of progress we can handle per "block" of innovation.

5. Ethical distance:

- The gap between technological capability and ethical frameworks could be measured in "miles per block."

- We might ask, "Are our ethics keeping pace with our innovations?"

6. Knowledge obsolescence:

- Skills and knowledge might have a "half-life" measured in technological blocks rather than years.

- Education systems might need to be restructured around this new tempo of change.

7. Economic disruption cycles:

- Business models and entire industries might rise and fall within the span of a few "blocks."

- Economic planning could shift to a "per block" basis rather than annual or quarterly.

8. Generational divides:

- Instead of Millennials or Gen Z, generations might be defined by the major technological "blocks" they lived through.

- "I'm from the pre-AI block" or "I grew up during the quantum computing blocks."

9. Progress measurement:

- Nations might be ranked not by GDP, but by their "miles per block" - how much they advance with each technological leap.

10. Psychological impact:

- Mental health issues related to the pace of change could be described in terms of one's ability to cope with the "miles per block" of society.

This metaphorical view of "miles per block" offers a new lens through which to examine our relationship with technological progress and its impact on various aspects of society. It highlights the accelerating and sometimes uneven nature of advancement, and how it shapes our perception of time, progress, and even our identities.

Would you like to delve deeper into any of these ideas or explore other metaphorical angles?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"one's ability to cope with the "miles per block" of society". Damn.

Being a kind and patient father has been the thing that has made me more kind and patient in the rest of my life.

Being smart is easy. Being kind and patient is hard.

$3.25 a month for 50 gigs for mobile hotspot is pretty good but those fuckers won't give me more data than that.

The harsh reality is that tickets were available to everyone on earth with an internet connection. You didn’t even need money early on. Bitcoin was literally free, people were just giving it away. So technically yes you did have the ability to buy a ticket. Even though I bought fairly early, I should have been here even earlier. I knew about bitcoin in 2011 and chose not to act. That’s true for most OG’s. Then when we finally did act we had to endure ridicule about our beliefs in addition to the emotional volatility of our investment. It wasn’t easy in the slightest and most of the people I know from back then are out of bitcoin now. Very few hodled.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING THE BRAZIL X BAN IS TRIVIAL TO CIRCUMVENT.

THAT IS MOSTLY IRRELEVANT.

WILL LIKELY STILL BE EFFECTIVE AT SILENCING BRAZILIANS WITH LARGE AUDIENCES. LARGE KNOWN X ACCOUNTS. THEY WILL RISK PUNISHMENT IF THEY POST.

NOSTR DOES NOT FIX THAT.
