People who constantly complain about seeing too much bitcoin content here lack the basic intelligence of understanding how the unfollow and mute buttons work. If they can’t even figure that out, why would I care about their opinion on anything else? 😂

tell me why you joined nostr below and i'll zap you a bitcoin hug

Visited my father in law (who was born in 1944) this week and found this.

Tell me some useful information and I’ll zap you 615 sats.

I’ll determine if it’s useful or not lol 😂

Which one do you like best?

Help me pick my new nostr pfp lol

Last days I've felt so depressed I haven't in years. I know it's just a thought pattern, butI failed at work and failed the relationscmhip.

Man do I miss the feeling of last summer, when everything seemed to be aligned and I felt completely at peace. How to get back...

What is something you can say in a job interview but also in the bedroom

Exactly 4 years ago today, I sat in a company-wide meeting with a "crypto expert."

He said Bitcoin was useless beyond being digital gold — and some random altcoin called Polkadot was the future. Everyone thanked him for his wisdom. We were supposed to learn from "industry experts" to keep up with trends as early-stage venture investors.

I started digging deeper into Bitcoin and calling out altcoins as scams.

A senior partner pulled me aside and tore me down:

"Are we done here?"

"You have no track record."

"Your conviction is like a religious belief."

"You're being irrational and ideological."

He laughed when I said maybe the financial system is broken. From his perspective, he couldn’t see it — because he was making a fortune pumping startups that barely existed. The irony was lost on him: the very fact that so much money was being thrown at vaporware proved just how broken the system was.

Another partner called me a spruiker — said I was trying to pump my own Bitcoin bag to get rich and dump it on others.

It was hard to hold steady when surrounded by people who benefit from the status quo.

That day, I wrote in my journal: "As of today, I've decided to leave [this company]."

Four years later, Polkadot is down 90% against Bitcoin. And it’s been the best four years of my life.

(Btw, I use a journalling app called Journey that reminds me of what I wrote x years ago today, it's useful for reflecting)

Bitcoin-denominated Cashu tokens have been transmitted via sound, qr codes, stenography, rf radio, satellites in space, nfc cards, bluetooth, emojis, text messages, nostr posts, api calls, and even bank transaction memo fields.

The reason why this is happening is not only because it's extremely fun. It's also because Bitcoin is natively digital money. Bitcoin and the people using it are exploring all possibilities to transact between each other. This is the real digital energy.

Cashu makes Bitcoin light as a feather and transacting with it as easy as it can be. This is what it looks like when a new electronic money is starting to permeate our world. Bitcoin will be literally everywhere and in every corner of the world, just like the internet already is. This is what it looks like when that happens.

When I was a kid, an older relative had this big rubber band ball, about the size of a softball, and I thought it was so cool, that I started my own rubber band ball.

So for years, I had this subplot of adding to my rubber band ball. It eventually became bigger than a basketball, and extremely heavy since it was dense rubber. Only unusually large rubber bands could go on it, and so tracking down hyper-sized rubber bands became a task in its own right (this was largely pre-ecommerce, 1990s, thus shopping was like hunting and gathering rather than searching and clicking). Various relatives would surprise me with like $5 packs of specialized rubber bands that they happened to run into and for me that was like an A+ gift.

I try to always focus on rekindling and/or being open to that basic sense of wonder and joy in things. A kid and her large rubber bands.

Anyway, happy Sunday.

DO NOT zap this note.

Absolutely DO NOT reply to this note because I WILL Zap you.

And for the love of god, please do not zap others who reply to this Note. I would hate to create a #Zapathon in this thread.

GOTTA LOVE THAT THERE IS ZERO PANIC ON NOSTR ABOUT THIS BITCOIN DUMP.

STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS.

The ONLY thing you would need to be concerned about in regards to #bitcoin repricing the entire world, imposing a global free market — leading to truth, hope, and abundance is that it remained decentralized and secure.

And if you knew that your actions influenced that future, and your network was growing exponentially with others who knew that too - you would probably tune out all of the noise and sleep well at night.

And yes - many of those “psychopaths” protecting the network are already here on #nostr

What a time to be alive!
