I'm not asking for much from the incoming #Trump administration other than:

- #FreeRoss

- Abolish the IRS

- Abolish the Federal Reserve

- Abolish taxes on using #bitcoin to purchase goods and services

Too much :))

Some bitcoiners advocate for "freedom" until someone buys a coin that they don't support or own.

Let people buy trade and transact with whatever the fuck they want.

This seems cool?

Imagine if the federal government stepped in and incentivized them to do this every block they mined.

Now imagine if the government paid Foundry to do the same. This is a total flex of block/hashrate control. The hashrate wars are here. Hold the line.

Over the past month or two I've spoken to several bitcoiners who have never sent an on-chain transaction

One who has been in bitcoin since 2017

I'm sure there are many people on nostr in the same category

This is an absolute MUST for anyone in the bitcoin space

This process shows you the real benefit and value to using bitcoin

I decided to do a LIVE bitcoin transaction on the show

It took over 40 mins total, with a few issues, but we got it done

Consider watching this if you have never sent a bitcoin Layer 1 transaction

Or if you want some excitement in your life. It was a wild 40 mins

Here's the clip from the show 👇

And if you don't want to move bitcoin tonight, bookmark it for later. It's a great resource for bitcoiners

Trump is literally promoting his shitcoin on X…

I’m sorry, but this dude cannot abide shitcoinery.

Bitcoins are not mined, they are issued over time.

Out of all the misconceptions when it comes to #Bitcoin, the misconception that “miners” are creating “bitcoins” is probably the most asinine one.

“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.

At dinner with some (older) family friends who escaped communism…

“Communism taught us to run away from the devil… now we’ve found the devil here as well.”

If you are a “westerner” and have not studied communism, you may find this statement strange… “how can the USA be anything like communism?” you ask.

But this is what people who escaped communism feel, and I promise you they know better than you what communism feels like; they lived it.

I lived in it and I can tell you you’re not anywhere near communism here in this land

When you discover Bitcoin, you're financially free; when you discover Nostr, you’re intellectually free; when you discover that there is no ‘you,’ you’re completely free

When we were little, we thought our bodies were who we are.

When we grew up, we thought the thoughts in our heads were who we are.

After we experienced life, we thought there were two selves in our heads. There was another self who was always fearful, angry, greedy, jealous, vain, lazy, and proud. He often argued with the other self. We began to feel anxious, internally consumed, irritable, and depressed. Many people spend most of their lives shrouded in this emotion.

After meditation, sitting in meditation, spiritual training, and enlightenment, a third self will appear in our brains. This is the wise self, who will look down on the quarrels between the first two selves in the brain and calm them down. Identify what I can change and what I need to accept as unchangeable.

Have you ever been to a wet market in an Asian country? X is like a wet market: bustling with energy, crowded, noisy, and chaotic. Meanwhile, Nostr is like a Buddha Temple, where people are quiet, respectful, and guided by etiquette. I’m not sure when the Temple might turn into a wet market, but for now, I’m enjoying the Temple vibe and not quite sure if I’ll ever miss the wet market again
