I saw a few posts here dunking on Dan for his anti-Nostr posts on Twitter/X.

I'm grateful for them. Happy to treat it as a marketing/education opportunity. If life gives you lemons, see if there's a way to make lemonade.

I love these #Bitcoin themed trading cards from #GameStop

you make a post with what you want to sell and tell people to pm you to finalize the transaction. it is like selling in person but online, super easy.

Honestly my favorite and most rewarding plant is green beans. Bush or vine.

Once they get going? You can literally return every other day for another large handful and add it to your meals.

I love picking green beans fresh off the vine.

With all the chaos and nonsense going on in the world right now, I wanted to share something that I believe is critical as it relates to what is happening on #bitcoin (the first global free market that can’t be cheated) versus a system of corruption (trying to stop that system) Either 1) through willful intent or 2) lack of knowledge.

(*the majority of people fall into the lack of knowledge group)

According to game theory and playoff matrices: even when there are very high rewards and low punishment (they wouldn’t get caught) approximately 10% of people won’t cheat - no matter what!They place a higher internal value on integrity that overrides external rewards. I’ve seen this number as low as 2.5% and as high as 20%.

Why is that important:

Although everyone wants to see themselves as one of the honest, the math says that between 80 - 97.5% of people will cheat depending on the rewards. Now enter money - the ultimate pot of gold with high rewards and low punishment for cheating because people don’t understand it. Most people will cheat - a mirror of the world we see and have seen in Bitcoin since its inception. Need inflation, bad for environment, drug money, doesn’t scale, crypto, meme coins - the list will go on and on because if people can “get rich at someone else’s expense - most will. Those are simply the numbers and always have been.

In fact, in prior periods of history, the honest were at a massive disadvantage because and would often be killed by the cheaters. Because the integrity was so rare, society would often celebrate these people after their deaths as lessons of what we wanted our higher selves to look like.

#bitcoin has changed the equation. Giving those with integrity the power. Why: because 2.5 - 20% of people that won’t cheat is a massive number - especially if many of those people are decentralized and can’t be “found”. Those are the people who eventually run nodes, contribute their time and energy to keeping #bitcoin decentralized and secure, watch for attack vectors, build value on top of this protocol, call out the cheaters, teach and advocate to help others see it. Those people simply can’t be bought, and more are joining every day.

That decentralized and secure protocol bounded by energy is repricing everyone and everything from the other system and it will continue to do so as that system tries to grapple with: the cheaters no longer make the rules.

It will be chaotic, many more will try to cheat (don’t be afraid to slay your heroes) but in the end…..Satoshi unlocked a way to put the best of us into a protocol that was best for all of us.

What a time to be alive.

"Kiss the ring, and I will free Ross."

Patience. People are already losing their shit because #Bitcoin wasn't center stage today. I don't know if you noticed, but nothing but mainstream issues were in the spotlight.

By that same token (pun intended) the timer has absolutely started for POTUS to follow through on his promises. There are a lot of crucial seats up in 2 years that would stonewall the back half of his term.

Bitcoiners have the memories of elephants and many are not entrenched or brainwashed card-carrying Republicans. Keep applying pressure but exercise a modicum of patience and have realistic expectations.
