First day of TABConf was amazing. Still way to much stuff to take in even with the first two days focused on Workshops and Builder Days.

Grateful to be able to meet a few awesome nostriches, and talk to various developers working on some Bitcoin stuff. One was working on a hackathon project tied into DLCs. Another dev was building on some CLI tools for nostr relays. Another I spoke to was working on a clipboard viewer tool for Bitcoin and Nostr named Branta.

I spent some time listening to information about Anduro Coordinate, and took part in the CODEX32 workshop. In addition, some cool hardware things to play with including a colorful light up badge where people can play laser tag, and a lilygo T-Display JADE wallet.

Looking forward to tomorrow. For now I'm doing some code for a hackathon, will be grabbing a glass of wine, and then hop into Corny Chat for some chat and Snow Crash reading.

I’m so sorry to hear that, at that age they can become very arrogant and stubborn sadly.

I do hope it gets sorted for her sake and the family, thoughts are with you.

Ohhh I wish I could attend Nostrville 😢

SURPRISE!!!

Even better, this was on the house!

I am retarded and wrong about almost everything but ima throw this out there

IMHO: the magic path of life is there ain’t no magic path🤔

My favorite dude in the world is a fren who is irritatingly happy😳…I tell my wife all the time that if he ever gets cancer he’ll be the happiest dude on the cancer ward😂

…this is a dude who manages to laugh at everything life has to throw at him…good or bad…almost like he refuses to surrender…the most infuriatingly inspirational MF I’ve ever met

TLDR version: make good choices…and when u don’t make the best of ur bad choices…and when u can’t kick life’s ass…and when u don’t laugh harder than the other dudes…and always remember there is some other non bitcoining MF in the world that wishes he was u😂🤣🌅

Jus one idgit’s opinion 😉🫡

You are funny. I will wear it at Nostrville just for you

Thanks for the costume idea

Fuck you, Obama. Tax deez nuts.

Me too, what terrible luck we've both had😕.

Same 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

Might fuck around and start building on nostr again 🤷‍♂️

Might just write about economic and political philosophy. Dunno

The workaround is, sorry Danish government, I'm afraid I've lost my private keys🤷🏻‍♂️.

Dear Bitcoiners on #nostr,

For some, when you see or hear someone say they are a progressive/left bitcoiner, some of you lead to attacks, questioning and probing, assuming:

“pffft that’s not possible, how stupid can you be!”

I’ve been at this for over 3 years now. What you should do is take a step back, and realize how incredible it is that a progressive probably broke ranks heavily (think Liz Warren, greenpeace, woke police etc etc) to learn about and advocate for bitcoin. That’s really cool and a hard thing to do! Tribalism is deep and can produce awful things that get in the way of independent thought, truth, and progress.

Most progressives in bitcoin are not your caricature of the modern progressive that wants big government control, censorship, against free speech, MMT, etc etc. they’re bitcoiners that advocate for social change and progress, the true essence of the word, and believe there is a role Bitcoin can play in improving the lives of everyone, especially those downtrodden by society and the government. And those of us on the left in Bitcoin are socially liberal - we’re anti-war, pro lgbtqia+, pro women and freedom, and pro people gaining true financial freedom and prosperity.

Progressive bitcoiner does not equal democrat foot-soldier

Hell, most of us are politically homeless, as are you probably.

And at the end of the day these political labels can paint a bit of a picture but are inadequate at best, harmful at worst.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

#progressive #left #bitcoin

I’m ok babe, recovering from a nasty fall that left me with a couple of broken bones!

How are you guys?

Have missed chatting with you both 💜🫂
