Last #Bitcoin block was 62 minutes ago....

You can just do things. Stop looking for permission or validation.

Just do the thing. You'll be much happier (and more free).

Bitcoin is a strange thing. It evolves a person's thinking:

* Scam

* Ponzi

* Novelty

* Speculation

* Investment

* Savings

* Escape Valve

* Necessity

Where are you at?

Yesterday marked 54 years since President Nixon temporarily suspended the gold standard from the dollar.

Sure am glad it was temporary, because money printing sure would be terrible.

Pork chop sandwiches are underrated.

😥Oh no! Not the privatization of money....

I needed to make an adjustment to my business account, and the customer service was stellar. Dealing with customer service usually leaves me frustrated and demoralized. Thanks Maddie! (or Mattie?)

Words that have really never been put together in a meaningful way:

"unconfiscatable bearer instrument"

...until now. #Bitcoin - it might just catch on.

Saylor: "Tickets to escape the matrix are priced in Bitcoin."

Apt.

We're at the place where Elon is posting videos from dead economists....

Maybe he will go full tilt into #bitcoin.

I bought this 10 Trillion dollar note a couple of years ago because it stands as an object lesson to me about the intertwining relationship between life energy and how a person "saves" that life energy.

That definition has stuck with me, because it is super simple, and carries a load of impact. It reminds me that I should be looking at places to store my life energy from today for tomorrow's needs.

Equal weights & measures.

#LowTimePreference with #Bitcoin.

Sad day.

The sats-per-dollar has hit the lowest ever. You can now only get 917 sats per dollar.

Listen to the turn of phrase by Cramer:

`and when bitcoin became legitimate, I added it....`

Curious minds want to know: when did bitcoin all the sudden become "legitimate"? Was there a point in time? As I recall, bitcoin was only used by drug dealers and terrorists.

🤔

Overton window is shifting. Get some #bitcoin before it's too late.

The Latin word "fiat" is instructional. "Let it be". This word is captured in the Latin Vulgate in Genesis, "Fiat Lux" (Let there be light). For governmental entities to create money via fiat is putting themselves into the place of God: "let there be value", or "let this paper be money".

Find the escape valve. #bitcoin

Lagarde's quote back in 2021 was impactful when I heard of it on a later podcast about #bitcoin:

“There has to be regulation. This has to be applied and agreed upon [...] at a global level because if there is an escape that escape will be used.”

This coupled with a very simple definition of money that I first heard from nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg8hswarky4ercm44wn9jsq4hy9ajhm7zv4s8nyvf3fvuznux64t2grp869y : "Money is a technology that stores your life's energy"...sort of becomes a bit of a red pill moment.

It makes one ask, "Why would a central banker care so much about an escape valve from the existing monetary networks?"

Answer: "They need to steal your life's energy."

Protect your life's energy. This is fair and honest weights and measures. This is the investment of the Master's talents. Make no mistake: it's a spiritual thing, when you see it rightly.

It's a sad day for many. Yet again, we've arrived at a sell-dollar price of less than 1000 sats. 😭

Hey there,

Take my paltry sats....

Awesome thought, connecting freedom to death in this way:

"It is appointed for man to die once, and then the judgement....."

"He who the Son sets free is free indeed..."

It's very interesting that Blackrock was just a few years ago lampooning bitcoin. Now the owner of the biggest and most successful bitcoin ETF to date, Blackrock is now positing that bitcoin can potentially eat into the US dollar's reserve status, due to the US's massive debt in their annual report released today.

It's fun transmitting money as an unlicensed money transmitter.....

Literally, the definition of a Ponzi scheme is,

"an investment scam where returns for early investors are paid from the money of later investors, rather than from legitimate business profits, and relies on a constant flow of new investors to sustain the scheme."

Sounds like Social Security to me. 🤷‍♂️

GM. Block 888907, and $84k is the new $58k. #bitcoin

I think this is Pomp's way of saying "buy MOAR!"

🤷‍♂️

Or, maybe a nothingburger?

#asknostr

GM. It is block 884857 on the timechain.

The #Bitcoin network is core to the identity and value proposition of #bitcoin (the money). These two properties of value are necessarily correlated and intertwined to make #bitcoin more valuable than any other digital asset.

The money is valuable because of the network. The network is valuable because of the money. It's why it can't be copied/duplicated/replaced with another.

To separate bitcoin (the money) from Bitcoin (the network) is nearly analogous to attempt to separate hydrogen from oxygen and still retain water. Water is valuable _because_ of the binding of two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. (Obviously, hydrogen and oxygen are valuable in their own right, so the analogy breaks down for the more pedantic among us.)

GM, it's block 884732.

It's backed by the energy needed to produce it. This acts effectively as a floor for price.

Energy flows to where your attention flows.

Corollary: whatever has your attention has your energy.
