I’ve lived in #Mendocino for decades. In all that time I’ve never locked my doors. Since holding #Bitcoin I’ve made sure I don’t store my private keys at home so I can continue to not lock my doors.

Sleep well.

The sats (fractions of a #bitcoin ) giveaway continues here on the #Mendocino coast. DM me if you’re local. We’ll connect, I’ll help you download a wallet and give you free bitcoin. https://video.nostr.build/4f129c77d26386073a63810954738ae0a4dcd93c459fe82814e34bb32396a5e3.mov

#Bitcoin  seems to most people, whose whole life is deeply embedded in the traditional financial system, to be way out on the fringe.

Asking someone to believe bitcoin can be a global reserve asset is like asking them to breathe a new gas that’s not air.

However, if you take the time to look at the human-manipulated system that is traditional finance you begin to understand all the inequalities and distortions fiat currencies create around the world.

Then compare this to bitcoin which is completely abstracted away from human interference (even maintaining its own time/clock through the creation of transaction blocks) and you begin to see a battle tested, hard money that so far (15 years) hasn’t been corrupted.

Bitcoin is not a business. It has no CEO, board of directors, no bankers, no marketing department.

Bitcoin is a protocol for value much as email is a protocol for messages.

Then if you look at the enterprises and infrastructure being built around this incorruptible core (from mining, to payment solutions to wallets and storage etc.) you see the beginnings of a new economy, similar to the growth of the internet in the ‘90s.

At a time of inflation and debasement of traditional currencies, at a time of national debts that will never be repaid, it’s worth understanding why bitcoin is a bridge to an alternative.

#Bitcoin  is hard to understand and easy to dismiss.

Just putting the finishing touches on a social media post and macking shore noting is misspeled then going to make coffee.

If you’re a #Mendocino resident and interested in #bitcoin  DM me. We’ll meet for coffee (my treat) I’ll help you download a wallet and give you your first sats (fractions of a bitcoin.)

Help make #bitcoin  our local currency.

Never judge a book by its…price.

This one’s free.

What’s your opinion about paying with Strike while buying on Bisq?

I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Apart from opening the pod bay door, is there anything else I can help you with?

Morning. Time for coffee, eggs and pancakes out on the front porch.

Our current monetary system is a thin gruel cooked up in an opaque kitchen where a little more water is added daily through inflation.

#Bitcoin is a nutritionally dense monetary system prepared openly, offering diners abundance, choice and fiscal health.

I’m about to go ‘debased currency grocery shopping’ up in Fort Bragg. Wish me luck.

(The purchasing power of our dollars 50 years ago.)

Edward Snowden discusses the surveillance-industrial complex which is slowly eroding our freedoms.

“Accepting that it’s normal to have to submit a notarized photo to your rulers to establish your identity in order to spend your own money, that’s not freedom.”

We’ve been living IRL with currency (not money) that is controlled by bankers & has been abstracted to function on the internet. It’s a currency with many points of friction.

Bitcoin is hard money, is not controlled by anyone, is internet-native and works frictionlessly IRL too.

1st we sat around the radio each evening after dinner.

Then TV was our window on the world.

Next came the computer and once it connected to the internet things started speeding up.

With the smartphone we extended our brains carrying the entirety of human knowledge in our back pocket.

Then came augmented reality…

…and we started to realize that if we’re not living in a simulation already we will be soon.

WALK!

Don’t run.

The future is coming.

It’s being built by corporations who want to control you for profit and governments who want to control you to keep everyone ‘safe.’

#Bitcoin is the resistance. It puts the control of your money squarely in your hands.

INFLATION: The illusion of prices going up when in fact the purchasing power of your money is going down.

Great video tour of TCC. And thanks to TC for putting so much proof of work into this app. I use it daily.
