I believe I orange pilled a new friend tonight. When he asked me to explain Bitcoin, the first question I asked him if he was a Republican or Democrat. Depending on his answer to this question was how I planned on framing my responses to his question. While Bitcoin is not political, humans can be.

If he was a Republican: I'd frame explaining Bitcoin around inflation, taxes, separation of money and state, and digital scarcity.

If he was a Democrat: I'd frame my responses around financial inclusion and hope for billions around the world while touching on building a better society with a better monetary system.

If he said neither: Then it's a mixture of both.

Thinking of doing a no KYC phone with esims from bitrefill, anyone do this?

Do you mean a self-hosted BTCPay Server or something else?

anonymous phone ☎️

1.) buy a pixel 3a or higher refurbished or used

2.) flash calyxOS or grapheneOS to it

3.) buy a eSIM "data only" on bitrefill.com (160 countries supported)

buy with lightning, use one time email

4.) scan eSIM QR ---> phone does the setup

4.) use simpleX for voice and video calls

5.) firefox klar for web browsing

i think this setup is quite good

you only cant call people on their phonenumber

I am open to recommendations on a platform to make Broken Money easily buyable with sats, either print+ebook or just ebook (since I won’t be handling physical shipping).

Let me know some of the best ways to proceed and I’ll look into them.

This first round is print books on Amazon, which is done. Next in the queue is the kindle version which should be available within a week or so.

And then the audiobook will come out. It’s in development but it takes time.

In parallel with the audiobook, I will be working to have it available in print in Barnes and Noble and other bookstores.

And I will figure out a way to make it buyable in sats. As I said, I am open to suggestions on the best way to do that. Any books I happen to sell in person will of course be buyable with cash or sats.

And then depending on sales figures, I will be looking into translation options.

All of the profits from the first thousand copies sold (about $5 per book) will go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund.

And for those for whom the book price is a burden or distribution is an issue, perhaps because they live in countries where the money is most broken, I invite them to pirate it.

At least 50% of apps installed via flatpak straight up don't work, what a joke

My favorite type of Twitter interaction is when rando accounts tell me that I've ruined my reputation and I'm no longer credible.

And yet they're following me and paying me with their attention!

I found out one of the guys that I party with on my lake every weekend is heavily into Doggy coins. He was convinced that #Bitcoin is dead and that Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are the way forward 😂 I have work to do.

Vanadium, as #GrapheneOS is my daily driver. Is Mull available for desktops?

I just reuse and reflash 🥹

Proof of nerd

soooo, how are things over here on nostr? 😂

These three tiny ass computers, that I rescued from the trash, can run 12 VMs 🤯🤯

I think I might start a new cult, come and join me!

We believe the Sun is flat.

the inevitable nostr protocol wars are going to be messy, frustrating, and beautiful
