Any good bitcoin/nostr limericks?

I've finished stage 1 of my new #homelab install. (hardware/proxmox/storage). I just need to strip exif from the images (for anonymity) and I'll publish details.

gm, if you have no uncles, you have nothing.

It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.

Wow wow wow … I can watch a live #rip while surfing over the net SLAYING IT nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jspzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq0ncqzq nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqg4waehxw309aehgct8d9hxwtnev9382tndv5jvxshh nostr:nprofile1qqs879mhq6kkuzh2wk57xdzanl76uem8d7hlyjd7v4a4jcm4u88d8ygprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgxzfkn5 nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgewaehxw309aek2mnyd96zumn0wdnxcctjv5hxxmmd94lnue nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8spramhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmndv9uxjmtpd35hxarn9ehkumrfdejsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcewjj34 😎🧡🚀

Stack freedom

…

#Bitcoin taught me to be mindful with my time as it is not coming back.

#Nostr is not a showcase for influencers.

It is a refuge for those who choose freedom over visibility.

No emails, no advertising.

Just keys, voice, and will.

Its strength is not measured in numbers, but in sovereignty: protocols that endure, adoption that comes from the bottom up, no masters.

If you want the mainstream, go elsewhere.

If you want freedom, welcome home. 🫂🎨

Some people say that everything is good for Bitcoin. I almost, but not quite, agree.

Everything that fails to land a critical hit, is good for Bitcoin. What doesn't kill it, usually makes it stronger. The bigger and more robust it gets, the more resilient it is against even the idea of a critical hit, and that has required work. When threats materialize, programmers program, financiers finance, and podcasters podcast.

Bitcoin is a growing, robust ecosystem that responds to threats and hardens against them. Sometimes at the base layer, often at higher layers. It doesn't put too many premature resources against threats that aren't currently hurting it, but can swarm massive resources in response to something that does start to hurt it. Nobody's in control; it's a well-designed swarm of incentives trending toward life, and in this case life means functional operation as a permissionless and high-quality global ledger to store and transmit value (i.e. electronic cash).

I've long since viewed it in that self-healing way, since it's a similar lens to how I view the established macroeconomic system as well. People continually underestimate a lindy system's response functions against threats, for both good systems (like Bitcoin) and bad systems (like central banking). It took me a bit of time to be convinced that Bitcoin was lindy, but once I did, I haven't seen any reason to waver.

Bears doubt its robustness. Bulls consider it highly robust. I'm a bull. It's not that I consider it invincible though; it's that I consider it as having a high probability shot at resisting forces against it, and a better shot than any of its competitors.

And for those who don't know, my background is in electronics engineering with a control systems focus in my early engineering career, so the fact that I became enamored with the robustness of a decentralized money's inbuilt control system and the ecosystem surrounding it was no small hurdle. It probably contributed to my skepticism early on, but once my skepticism was satisfied, it instead contributed to my conviction.

I agree with those who say that one day state attacks will be the biggest threats against Bitcoiners. Not against Bitcoin's existence itself, most likely, but against its permissionless and private usage.

The defense against that comes from those writing high quality code that gives people tools to resist, educators and financiers that help expand them, as well as jurisdictional arbitrage as high-conviction people can and do move around between legal jurisdictions toward freer ones.

It'll be a longer process than many expect, I think. But the ecosystem is built for it, and attracts the best people to deal with it. And Nostr is currently part of its epicenter.

I've done 4 public appearances since May to thank all of you who supported me at my lowest.

For now I'm taking a break from public speeches. I'm soaking in this new life. It still feels surreal to be free.

I'm excited for all the opportunities ahead!

What sort of plastic products?

I'm currently full-time raising my son. Will be running a homestead operation within the next few years.

Tell us more. What are you building exactly?

Hey nostr, its been a pretty busy day for me, but now its time to rest. I was thinking today how btc has made me so interested in all kinds of tech. From btc itself, to running a node, mining, graphene phones, Linux, all of it. I always had a little bit of interest in techy stuff, but not like now. But the thing is, i have no background in this kind of stuff, so i have to do lots of research, make lots of mistakes, then finally figure it out somehow. And i have come to love it, mistakes and all, muddling through. I now hold btc in cold storage, run a node, have my little bitaxe humming along, run Linux on my laptop, and use a graphene phone. If i can do this, anyone can. Yall have a good evening nostr friends. #Nontechy #OneStepAtATime

Y'all be like, Okay, Catholics can be pretty based, but what is up with the creepy Mass stuff?

You're way off. The Eucharist is the coolest part about being #Catholic. ⛪🌾🍇

Been loving the creative vlogs on nostr

Something to keep in mind, client’s like amethyst have built in compression tools :D

compression actually just means “smol file size” and it’s best practice on P2P protocols

On nostr, we trust peers to host our data but hosting data comes with a cost… when we make our files tiny it’s less $$$ for the host (relay provider)… this means our network stays free & open 😻

It also means that people that have limited data have a smoother experience and won’t give up on your video half way through due to buffers so it’s better for you as a creator…

All in all, everyone benefits when we compress our files

HODLing is like losing weight. Simple, but not easy.

Calories in / calories out

Buy bitcoin, withdraw into self-custody and hold.

I’ve tried every diet under the sun, and now I eat what I want as long as I manage my calories.

For Bitcoin, I’ve fortunately learnt from the best that there’s no better strategy than buying and holding. END OF STORY.
