What to do if the government deems #Bitcoin self custody illegal?

I love it when my 69☯️ zaps go from $0.07 to $0.08 and back to $0.07 inside 15 minutes.

Years from now people are going to browse early #nostr and be incredulous at how we were throwing around life changing wealth zapping Pepe memes and random shitposts.

This will be our legacy.

It's time to wake up...

The political “Right” & “Left” in America are both ideologically inconsistent and morally bankrupt.

The “Conservatives” are not conservatives.

The “Liberals” are not liberal.

They are all charlatans and profiteers; propagandists all feeding the same beast.

One side vocally supports War_A, and calls for peace in War_B.

The other side vocally supports War_B, and calls for peace in War_A.

Each side claims the other side is evil. Each team blames the other for anything bad that happens, and takes the credit for anything good that happens. Around and around we go, the slow degradation of our society measured in election cycles.

But it doesn't matter which party is in power, because nothing ever changes. Not really.

There is no red.

There is no blue.

There is the State.

And there is you.

The only constant is war.

Forever Wars made possibly by a broken monetary system that makes it extremely profitable for the Anointed.

Our elected political actors create cover for the unelected class of bureaucrats who float effortlessly through the revolving door between government agencies, Wall Street, and defense companies.

The people are kept distracted with ideological outrage porn and manufactured crises.

We are shown "problems" and given "solutions," but none of their solutions ever solve anything; they just create more problems. They are naught but brightly-colored bandaids meant to distract us from the fact that there is a deep cancer metastasizing ever more rapidly.

No one in power has any desire to cure the disease, they only treat the symptoms. Why? Because they feed on the disease; they cannot exist without it.

Nihilism creeps in as people start to realize that the partisan bread they're fed at the political circus is rotten.

Some dig their heels in deeper, desperate to believe that this contrived charade is meaningful. After all, the rotten lies are still easier to stomach than the cold, hard truth. These people are lost.

But all is not lost. Not everyone is too far gone.

Slowly but surely, more people start to wake up. And when they open their eyes, they begin to search for real answers. They realize the cancer exists, and they want to find a cure.

But first the cancer must be diagnosed. What is the real disease that plagues us?

The answer is simple: our money is broken.

Your time and energy are being systematically stolen from you by a system that exists to benefit those closest to the creation of new money.

When money breaks, everything else breaks with it.

You know this on a deep level, even if you have not fully acknowledged it yet. You can feel it.

The only solution is to fix our broken money. Everything else is a distraction.

But this solution does not come from the top down (it can't). It must come from the bottom up. It must start with you.

You can make the choice to opt out of this broken system, to begin starving the disease by defunding the system that allows it to propagate.

There is only one way to do this: save the value of your time and energy in Bitcoin.

You may think this answer reductionist, but I challenge you to really think about it. Take the time to study Bitcoin. Take the time to study our broken monetary system.

Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution, a revolt without violence.

Bitcoin is a choice, but it is up to you to make it.

stripe and all the rent-seekers in the way did

lol, I been experimenting with fiat zaps

(yeah... I know)

I zapped myself $1 three days ago...

I just received 67 cents in my bank

😂😂😂😂

PEOPLE ARE TOO NICE ON NOSTR. WE NEED TO ONBOARD MORE ASSHOLES.

Nostr first announcement:

We’ve now have the capital backing for our first landfill-gas-powered bitcoin mining project

One small step closer to taking the bitcoin network emission negative and ending Bitcoin energy FUD

We’re now turning our attention to identifying as many landfill sites as we can that fit our brief.

If you have contacts in waste management and want to know more about what we’re looking for, send me a Nostr message.

Never regret showing kindness, even if it's misinterpreted or exploited. Every act of kindness sends ripples through the world, and life has a way of rewarding you for putting it out there.

Hmm. An interesting person just arrived at my house.

Who dis ?

the more you're given

the more you have to give

mute your ego and serve

let others climb

let others celebrate

let others call you a fool

listen and serve

let them vilify you

let them misunderstand you

let them hide your contributions

it doesn't matter

let it go

let it happen

let it hurt

in the end it will all pass

you broke before

so many times

did you forget how you arrived here?

beyond pain and suffering

worrying about tomorrow

and how you will afford the future

for yourself and those you love

the more you're given

the more you have to give

serve

Behold my creation! 🥐
