Decoding 'Proof of Words' – My Conversation with Philip Charter.
I sat down with Philip Charter, an author, editor, writer and bitcoiner, to explore the intersection of Bitcoin and storytelling.

We discuss the Bitcoin protocol and the language protocol, their analogies and differences, and delve into writing in the era of AI—looking at how to stand out in a competitive environment where Bitcoin analogies and narratives are often repeated.

Thanks nostr:npub1mrmu3s5889zcaqcqwxejx8gtkp9rwna7fq0vqezk4x22rnpr2gmsmfeyr9 for the opportunity to chat about Bitcoin. My first podcasť :)
So much has already changed since we talked. Promising times ahead. With Bitcoin’s price surging, the title couldn’t be more fitting. And remember, we're still early!
Is Nostr the Key to Free Speech in the Digital Age?
Yes, I still have one up my sleeve—the final survey 😅😅 from Bitcoin Amsterdam
Big thanks to all the participants—hope to see you around for the next big one!

Maya Parbhoe, presidential candidate of Suriname, on 'separating money from the state'.
As more nations in fact move toward adopting Bitcoin, what does 'separating money from the state' actually mean? It’s about keeping state power in check by ending the monopoly on money printing—promoting sustainability and creating a level playing field for everyone.

Bitcoin’s 12-Month Forecast After Trump’s Election Win: What’s Next?
I'm trying to figure that out myself. Seeing someone like you who's put in so much work to provide high-quality content, build up a large following, and then at the click of a button, and because for some reason content might not be considered politically correct, you lose visibility...
To me, it makes me think: Isn't it weird that most of our exchange of ideas is hosted on platforms of private companies? This isn't normal and isn't how it's supposed to be.
Nostr is the future, and we should be able to build our personal algorithms where we decide what we see. There's too much room for private companies to feed us with whatever. Many people I follow/subscribe to, I don't see anymore in my feed, and I see a lot of profiles that I don't follow being fed to me. It should be entirely in our hands! At the moment, the freedom to follow/subscribe to whoever you want is similar to the freedom to vote in our fake democracies. We should have a say on very concrete questions.
That being said, Nostr in 2024 is like Bitcoin in 2012. Nostr provides a basis for freedom of speech, and free exchange of ideas. Even if it's less convenient now, I'm sure it will pay out later on.
No product or service is inherently 'scarce by design,' not even Bitcoin. If something could be 'scarce by design,' it would mean that scarcity itself could be replicated, ultimately creating abundance—the opposite of scarcity.
Marginal utility ensures that even highly demanded products lose their scarcity when supply exceeds demand. There is no such thing as 'intrinsic scarcity'; scarcity is driven by external market dynamics. Demand is an external dynamic.
Therefore, 'scarce by design' is a self-contradictory argument and could be labeled as marketing rhetoric. The supply of Bitcoin is not 'scarce by design.' It gradually decreases over time through a halving mechanism and is ultimately capped at a fixed total of 21 million coins independent of demand.
Together with Bitcoin's other key features—such as its decentralization, immutability, divisibility, censorship resistance, and permissionless access—along with the current market dynamics of competing with fiat currencies, gold, and altcoins, a strong argument can be made that Bitcoin has the potential to become one of the most economically scarce assets.
1. Appointment request to request a new passport.
2. The first possible appointment is 2 months later.
3. The costs are 159.95€ for a new passport plus new images at 20€, totaling 179.95€.
4. The request for pickup of the new passport at the embassy is made 50 days later (7 weeks and 4 days).
5. Upon pickup, the embassy realizes that my name is spelled incorrectly, and they have to reprint my passport again.
Three months and 24 days later, and still no passport.🫤
How would a business that prints personal information booklets fare in a free market with this level of customer service?
My guess is that #Bitcoin would also fix this.
Yes, the first Nostr Hub in Berlin had maybe attendees, the second one was already so crowded that people had to watch from outside.

thanks so much for your great answers and positive energy. I actually deleted my Facebook profile, but you can embed the Youtube Videos on Facebook, right?? I would appreciate that a lot 🙏 https://youtube.com/@road-x?si=zjdTv7XsytQEZhf-
In this video, Eric Balance shares how aligning energy, capital, and labor brings clarity, helping people understand themselves and connect with their goals. With Bitcoin enabling financial autonomy, it’s not just about transactions—it’s about purpose and community.
I hope I got this right!? It took me a few replays to catch all the wisdom packed in there! 😅

Which country will be the next to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender? 🧐 I had the opportunity to ask this question to Bitcoin professionals and enthusiasts at Bitcoin Amsterdam. A strong favorite has emerged!☺️🇸🇷🔥
A big thank you to all the participants for sharing their insights🙏 :

Suriname seems to be leading the race, with presidential candidate maya@daedaluslabs.io advocating to make Bitcoin legal tender and a unit of account.

What an amazing feeling!
nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw: Bitcoin is "probably the most high-security and robustness assurance piece of software in the world at this point". https://m.primal.net/LfWl.mov "
Is hyperinflating fiat scarcer than Bitcoin? Whats your take? I am looking forwad to your take in the comments 😂
