I did see that play! 🤯

That's 2 Latvian goalies I've watched now, that have performed way beyond expectations. Arturs Silovs - third stringer for Canucks '24 NHL playoffs and this kid Feldbergs.

Regardless of the outcome Dec 28th (Latvia v USA) this team can call this tournament a sweet success already.

I don't think they're the dark horse favorite. They likely scouted Canada and knew enough from the guys playing one another in Major Jr to prepare for this game. Massive lift for their confidence.

My favorite hockey tournament of the year - World Juniors (16 - 20yr) is underway and concludes with medal games on Jan 5, 25.

Having visited Riga, Latvia this past summer - #Nostriga and Baltic Honeybadger, I'm enjoying Team Canada vs Latvia. The Latvians were certainly the underdogs but have played a brilliant defensive game. Out shot 47 - 21, Latvia scored 2 clutch goals on the powerplay to play the favorites - Canada to a draw in regulation time.

5 min overtime 3 on 3, Latvia out shot again 9 to 3, had a rare OT powerplay but couldn't capitalize.

Into the 5 round shout-out, it's anyone's game.

No decision

Next 6 of 10 and the 16th shooter - for the win.

Congratulations Latvia! 🇱🇻

Third ever win in regulation round. Well deserved.

All this will accomplish is to drive innovation to a regulation friendly jurisdiction. Doesn't sound like the Trumpified crypto dominance being spun.

IRS might just cause an "own goal" and collide with the new evolving economies. Hubris, threats and irrelevance will be their undoing. Bankers no longer control the commanding heights of the global economic engine. It now rides on light and is subject game theory.

Bukele.

What if Bukele uses IMF funds to mostly buy Bitcoin?

Volcano bonds didn't materialize, so options were limited.

I'd take a wait and see approach.

Two of the three in this image, claim that they are saving Bitcoin for all humanity. The other is a greedy sociopath.

Can you guess which ones are which?

Was there a stipulation in the agreement where El Salvador could not use the borrowed IMF funds to buy Bitcoin? If not, and were Bukele to pull a Saylor, it would be the ultimate Chad move.

Archive will be posted soon. Not sure but I believe any sats sent after the fact, still go toward artists, which would be way cool.

Spoiler alert: Sound was fantastic, you'll love the playback, keep a look out 👀

On a Live music gig with nostr:nprofile1qqstn5pvhr7aavv3wq0vqeywxlk376hm5f37qps0cpsfnf3g28f9upq6qgre4

This is going to be how music is created, distributed and paid for in real time.

Crew is cut in on every Sat that is sent to the event. This way everyone is incentivized to make the event a WIN. Great musicians, promoters, venue operators and the technical people that work behind the scenes. Value 4 value means much more than simply paying musicians. It means the support teams behind those making the music are also essential. Now it's a shared decentralized experience where everyone wins.

Congratulations nostr:nprofile1qqswavgevxe9gs43vwylumr7h656mu9vxmw4j6qkafc3nefphzpph8spp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxthwden5te0wp6hyctkd9jxztnwdaehgu3wd3skueq9m4yg5 your vision is becoming reality.

I've resent it. Hopefully it gets through. Maybe a relay issue...?

This ranking is so well deserved! This has been a grass roots initiative from the plebs who believed in sound money and went about sharing, orange pilling and onboarding others. Congratulations VANCITY

Let's make the top spot the goal for 2025

Watching this as I type. Pausing at specific topics to discuss with friends viewing this with me. A great teaching opportunity for the awaking boomers ☺️

Ken is doing a fabulous job avoiding the political pitfalls. I gather he is well coached. Well done Jeff 💪

yeah, I have dear friends who got advice from their son, bought ripple coin. The pump isn't going to help them let go of fiat-think. To them it's a win but crypto will pull their fiat profits from them as the lure of "easy money" draws them to the next shitcoin. If only they'd take the yield and by Bitcoin... not gonna happen though. Boyo looks like a genius and this low time preference pleb of 9yrs just got lucky, so what do I know

“Nostr goes hand in hand with Bitcoin and I think that is something that needs to be promoted more. That needs to be talked about. That needs to be built on. That’s why Nostr has the biggest booth in Adopting Bitcoin and trying to inform people what’s the ethos behind Nostr. And how it is going to change the future!” ~ Charlie Stevens

dude... I just went deep into the rabbit hole on this one. Yuri Wong has a significant catalog, sampling movie quotes which in itself is cool but then I learned about the OP-1 he's used to create a lot of the tracks. Now I must have one 😬. Lo-fi cheese with unlimited sampling capabilities...

... looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

"this time it's different" ™

approx 530 days post halving, has been the blow off top past 2 cycles, blow off top. Unless you want to take 2012 into consideration at 369 days. Regardless, we are at 220 days (Nov 25, 24). The pull back is Bitcoin taking a breath for a face melting run over the next 3 - 11 months.

If we see 70s it will be a flash crash of literally seconds, so never sleeping until Oct, 2025 might be the only way to catch that bottom.

if you believe we are hanging in 70s then DCA is your friend. I'd say a smash but when and if you can might be the only option.

I've been wrong each cycle before, let's see how this plays out.

Took radios to El Salvador made sure they were distributed where they can do the most good. I'd love to see his work take off. Dude volunteers selflessly at events, never asks for a thing in return. Let's blow this up as a nod to his great efforts and build out a mesh network in the process.

Q:

Is it not showing the tx completed because this is "offline" and the receiving mint hasn't accepted the ecash?

Completed 🤜🤛

Very cool!

Finally made it to our Patagonia spot after a long journey south! Arrived at 2am on a Saturday, carefully de-rigged the kayak from my truck, and crossed the high-water river in pitch darkness to reach our place.

What greeted me was wild - trees down everywhere on the property! One crashed onto our shed, but thankfully the dome stayed intact. Nature had definitely been busy while we were gone.

https://v.nostr.build/kc1x81mTcGBng8vO.mp4

First week was pure manual labor - clearing brush and getting camp operational again. Used the low water days strategically to ferry across new materials and solar panels.

https://v.nostr.build/y6wPhES6ww9jYiV1.mp4

https://v.nostr.build/MblFP8nHcQmyxyHu.mp4

Major win: our dome weathered everything perfectly. No mold, no mice, all locks intact. Pretty impressive for being alone in the wilderness!

Daily life here is... different. I work my day job from the computer (turns out being on a remote island is great for productivity) Then tackle camp projects during dawn and dusk. For me it’s a perfect balance.

But here's where it got intense... One morning I discovered our Cataraft - our lifeline for materials - had broken free and was heading straight for 15km of Class 5 rapids! 😱

Talk about luck - a friend spotted it caught in trees 1km downstream. Immediately grabbed my kayak and raced to the rescue. Found it tangled in branches, still loaded with milled wood!

https://v.nostr.build/FX2v9ZJaQgMbRm27.mp4

The dome's becoming quite the paradox - running water, electricity, comfy futon sofas right in the middle of the wilderness. From tents to a functional house in just a season. Feeling proud and grateful.

Now pivoting attention to installing new solar panels and breaking ground on 2 smaller bedroom domes for friends and family. Summer's looking epic! Can't wait to keep building and soaking in this incredible place. 🌞

If it's any consolation, this was the day after Adopting Bitcoin - high season in El Salvador. Mind you, it wasn't 6 degrees

I don't play the prediction markets, so I'm ignorant. What are they giving for odds? Looks like 12% favoring Trump, would that correct?

I fumbled with astral dot ninja, clueless how to set up the key pair. Somehow it worked and I was able to find Alby to use as the nsec custodian. The global feed was almost manageable then - lol.

What an amazing ride to this point.

Thank you devs, organizers of conferences, writers, entrepreneurs and relentless psychopathic users, it's taken everyone of you to bring us here. 🫡
