And my company is out here building a system where programs run forever, can move transparently between host machines, and data is persisted forever in an event log.

Looks like we'll have an epic ideological battle on our hands 😉

Here’s a fun little story about yesterday’s #DDOS attack…

As per usual I was sitting in front of the local bank, but unlike Saturdays there were people "working" there yesterday.

I put my chair right at the border of the private property of the bank and the public sidewalk, put on my speakers on medium volume and fell into the familiar state of Kosmos (a Greek word, that describes the meditative state of watching life pass by, while being an aware and silent observer).

After approx. 21 minutes I was rudely approached by the security manager of the bank: "I have domestic authority here, fuck off immediately! Otherwise I’ll call the police."

I calmly asked him to do so, if he thought it was necessary, knowing that his domestic authority wouldn’t affect me on a public sidewalk.

Some blocks went by, then I spotted two young policeman talking to the security guard and a guy in a suit.

One of them approached me.

👮🏼‍♂️ "Hello Sir, we were called…"

I immediately recognized the person standing in front of me. We had spent years together annoying our teachers in school.

🐰⚡️ "Till?"

The recognition was both ways. Old friends meeting again in vastly different contexts. Till had this broad grin on his face and asked me: "WTF are you doing here?"

I tried my best to explain but didn’t need to because he quickly recognized the situation. We checked if we still had each other’s numbers and decided to move the conversation to catch up on each other’s life’s to a different space and time.

He went back to the banksters and told them in a decisive tone and with the authority of the police uniform, that there is nothing they could do. That they should not harass me, since I’m just there using my right to voice my opinions.

Till and his colleague left with a 21 #Bitcoin bill each, a wink, and left me with an empowering feeling.

For the first time in my life I truly felt that I was talking on an eye to eye basis, with the police.

The word Bitcoin should be on the default mute list.

Just a single mint

The concentration of co2 is minimal compared to other geological epochs, on the other hand co2 is the gas of life, the more co2 the more explosion of life.

Don't believe the official story, study for yourself.

or better yet, selling goods and services for sats and pricing in sats.

You can't be taxed if you don't use their currency.

hello 69,420. looks like our gfs are getting gfs.

What most people refer as common sense is the Christian world view that has built the World. But that is going out the window nowadays, mate.

No. The protocol is irrelevant. People want do join a cool community/app. They couldn't care less about the protocol. If you are explaining the protocol first, you are still talking inside our inner circles.

Bitcoin promises nothing, it just is.

I paid 70 CHF for a 15 min ride in Geneva 😳

Sure, but only if you want to know the details. Users should never, ever think about Nostr that way.

People managed no to adopt it so far. What gives.

Some journalist is arguing that Bitcoin is fundamentally fascist because it's so good that people will have no choice but to adopt it.

We are winning harder than I thought!
