I've always wondered how exactly the powers that shouldn't be manipulate bitcoin price. So I asked.

Very neat. Thanks for this. It boils down to two maxims for me: self custody and trusting your custodial entities. The more distributed the custody of BTC the more effective it becomes. The layman can no longer content to purchase a potentially inflated Bitcoin and must search to hold the real thing else fall victim to fractional reserves that have haunted our monetary system for the last 3 centuries. Education is primordial. If BTC is going to work, the brightest minds in the space need to be patiently showing us all how to achieve sovereign self custody of our work value -- still not sure how to get everyone to pay attention... Nostr and other distributed tools can help, but I myself struggle in pulling away from the first system.
A friend just sent me this recording.
Sky over southern Germany near Munich.
I won’t label or explain it.
I won’t tell you what it is or isn’t.
Who am I to judge…just a retard.
I’m more interested in what emotions does this trigger in your body when you look at it?
Just honest reflection.
Sometimes the most important signal is not what’s in the sky but what moves inside us when we look up.
I’m listening.

Same skies over Normandy, France since late autumn. That's a lot of money flying around in the air...
If I'm not mistaken, this is both good and bad news because it shows that the protocol survives by strong conviction but it ostricizes Bitcoin users from the status quo and throttles worldwide adoption.
Enjoy the walk. Looks amazing
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱 NEW - At Shurat Hadin’s “Rage Against the Hate” conference in New York, Melanie Phillips portrayed the Palestinian cause as a threat to the West and claimed it aims to Islamize Europe. She declared that “there is no such thing as Palestine” and “there is no such thing as the Palestinian people,” adding: “The Jews are the only people who have any entitlement to any of this land… And they are the only people who have an entitlement to all of it.”
This narrative erases the reality that Palestinians are fighting for survival under decades of occupation, dispossession, and apartheid. The real threat is not Palestinians, but the ongoing genocide, land theft, and systemic oppression carried out by the Israel.

Someone needs to tell that lady to leave the "West" out of her nonsense.

Okay, so... What are the facts? Today I've heard about geo engineering, validated antisemitism, Israel schemes to sabotage American workforces and is in on 9-11, COVID-19 is most certainly a lab leak... Somebody please tell me how to measure the factual and scientific integrity of a sentient or I may go insane.
Very cool, very authentic. Congratulations to you both.

F**k yes.
My personal experience with yoga is that it's generally torture while doing but I feel much better after. And the results are quite remarkable at how much easier physically demanding things become (bending down to tie a shoe, jumping into a truck bed, reaching behind the TV console for cables, sitting for long periods of time)
Don't forget to teach the toddler what the agents are doing.
I'm taking my first steps but I have one foot in and my wife and kids pull me back into a world of fiat. My person on x and nostr is trying to grow. But I can't explain how difficult it to make that person my majority. In any case I encourage others to walk the talk and I will do my best to keep up without abandoning my loved ones.
Daily world religion. Today I learned about Kisa Gotami and the mustard seed. If you have any ideas on how to improve my prompt please let me know.
So many questions... so few answers.
Good Morning ! I'm a software developer (probably not a very good one), and I want to escape the rat race and start a bitcoin-based company. Yet, I'm terribly lost as to where to start. I want to learn the base from those who respect and implement the bitcoin protocol as it was intended: the best money that has yet existed - for everyone indiscriminately. I've reading been reading a lot about the pillars of bitcoin for many years. I just bought a Bitaxe to wet my toes in bitcoin mining. The next step is to find and fund a more powerful miner and replace the heater in my home (okay so that's a big step). I need some guidance that helps me optimize my learning path so I can still have time for my family, my friends, jogging, and maintaining a job that pays the bills while I get things rolling.
I'd also like to run a nostr node.
ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Love you all.
This is going to get very interesting very fast and I'm not sure my little human brain can handle it.
is this a rhetorical question? can I just put this here? https://x.com/i/grok/share/RUSpxtp0QzJ7plNCP0DXWZvXu
I need help validating some of Kennedy's allegations, but he wrote and published a book about Fauci!
successfully orange-pilled the nanny today using nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 wallet. Feels great. I'd like your opinions on how to properly compare wallets and protect keys.
personally I use it as a store of value that gets me out of shitty financial situations when I need the money fast. A highly liquid savings is nice. And I need to work on using it in my day to day. commerce needs to change. But you're right - majority of people understand HODLR as the monkey hoarding shiny rocks
