#Bitcoin #Mendocino
Living out here on the frontier you have to go into town at least once a month to trade for the essentials; rice, beans, coffee, whiskey. When you get to town you’d better have something worth trading; skins, moonshine, gold, bitcoin.
#Mendocino 
First #bitcoin attracted cryptographers. Next early adopters. Soon investors showed up then publicly traded companies and sovereign nations.
Now we’re seeing U.S. senators and presidential candidates floating plans for a national bitcoin reserve.
Why all this attention? The U.S. national debt just ticked past $35T and inflation is affecting everyone.

Bitcoin is a hard money asset like gold but with a hard cap of 21M.
#Mendocino 
This town would benefit from #bitcoin adoption.
#Mendocino 
“Please sir, may I hold 12 words in my head?”
Be cautious of crowd pleasers.
Meanwhile #bitcoin continues on to the next block.
“Apparently Edward Snowden said the only person who still believes that #Bitcoin is for criminals is Elizabeth Warren.”
The currency we all use is not money and it’s ensnaring us in debt and surveillance.
So people are discovering bitcoin. It mirrors Mendocino’s ethos of autonomy, freedom.

There’s a wildfire over in Anderson Valley. Be careful out there and have an emergency plan in place for yourself, your family and your seed phrase.

Coffee time listening to panels at Bitcoin24 Nashville and wishing I was there - but being here instead isn’t that bad.

Your seed phrase should be available from more that one location. In other words have a backup.
Also Let’s make this a common practice - Bitcoiners do not store their private keys at home. We have to go somewhere to get them. Greater inconvenience = greater security.
I met with a neighbor this morning at a #Mendocino coffee shop who wanted to know all about #bitcoin ; what it is, why it’s important, how it’s issued, what makes it valuable etc.
What was interesting was he understood from the outset that money’s a shared hallucination.
I don’t give financial advice.
But if I did I’d advise everyone to hold a minimum of 1 - 3% of their net worth in #bitcoin …minimum.
But I don’t give financial advice so don’t do that…unless you want to. But you should only want to if you haven’t read this. 
And now for this morning’s motivational poster hanging in the break room next to the fridge full of lunch sacks and above the counter where the toaster oven needs a good cleaning:
‘A trail is created by walking it into existence.’
The dollar is still the premiere global reserve currency and that isn't likely to change soon. But bitcoin is a viable alternative financial system that anyone can use alongside traditional finance.

I’m going to use Ai to write my posts from now on -
PROMPT:
Write a social media post that encompasses 3 ideas: 1. In summer #Mendocino is busy with tourists. 2. In winter the town is deserted. 3. Locals continue to live their lives in Mendocino year round, rain or shine.
