If you work in health care, please don’t forget that dictator tyrant Biden was willing to use government power to make you lose your job if you didn’t get the jab.

This is cool. I basically use Linux for blocksat-cli…and a bitcoin node. And anything else I might use it for is bitcoin related.

I need to learn Nix. Imagine a blocksat lightning node config to get anyone set up fast.

Israel has sent troops into the Gaza Strip before…see 2008. This doesn’t necessarily have to end up as a big war.

Enjoy this life you beautiful people. I’ve been on call helping people cheat death for lengths of time ranging from just one more day to catching catastrophes before they suddenly shorten lifespan…

Life is short. Beauty and love are important. Nobody cares about much else when they’re dying. Don’t neglect the important stuff of life while chasing the things of this world.

I just learned you can zap a profile! 👍🏻

But I also learned my Wallet of Satoshi didn’t import properly on my new phone :(

Good job doing your job well. A lot of people think handcuffs mean something bad. They’re first and foremost an uncertainty reduction tool.

What gets a little scary is verifying identity of those that forcibly take custody of you. While it is a crime to impersonate law enforcement, criminals don’t seem to mind committing crimes. AFAICT, there’s no way to verify identity prior to choosing compliance with authority vs. life saving resistance against a criminal attacker.

And sharing beauty is part of what makes life on earth good. Getting sats for making the world a better place is what bitcoin and nostr were made for (well, until Apple took zaps out of iOS client).

Remember, not your keys, not your coin! Exchanges can let you down too. If you have substantial sats, learn how to take custody…the next two years will be more up than down and what seems prudent now will not seem prudent then.

Stack friends who stack sats too! Questions will arise and having someone else handy who had similar issues can be very helpful.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

As I understand it, a paper on distributed event ordering / clock using the functional equivalent of a blockchain was published in 1998…but it was classified.
