Good morning 🌞☕️🧡

Don't scroll by, say it back. 🤙

Can’t wait to see how Biden plans to tax my out of band energy source…

Good luck with that.

#Bitcoin

Honestly, it’s one of the best Bitcoin books I’ve read yet.

It’s like if you took the Bitcoin Standard, removed the ridiculous vitriolic rhetoric and modern art/music distractions, added new intelligent technical description (math, computer science, etc), and packaged it up for an interested-and-not-overly-cynical reader.

This is the book I’m going to recommend to my boss, close friends, and specific family members.

I feel that I absolutely must send out some zaps before I can go lay down for sleep.

Reply to this note with a positive or funny bitcoin meme. I will send zaps to the first 3 that I see.

No. I'm not sure how that helps the issue with my existing nsec being out in the wild.

#random #nostr

Had some time to sleep on nostr-related stuff and I've come up with the following observations & concerns;

- It's going to change everything like Bitcoin did, but still needs more time to bake

- I consider the nsec for this account to be utterly compromised - It seems within the realm of possibility iris.to could lock me out of myself or take me over if they wanted to (not lobbing the accusation; merely logically stating a potentiality) Any other place that I've logged into with my nsec can pwn me too

- I'm assuming that this nsec as issued to me is in presently the control of sites beyond iris - as it was used to log in

- Having difficulty reconciling the legitimacy of this security model unless I have overlooked something

IOW: How can I logically trust a third-party npub/nsec issuer or any site I've logged into with my nsec? Seems I'm compromised the moment I step through their doors.

When BTC goes over a 100 K and my friends and family ask me about bitcoin. I'm sorry not sorry I'm gonna tell them to go fuck themselves.

"They don't know when to take the win" is bang on target 🎯

All these movements are like a pendulum, they start at one extreme in opposition to an injustice, then take on a life of their own and swing to the other extreme - becoming just another flavor of the thing they were fighting against.

Meanwhile the injustice remains.

Damn, I ran out of sats! I'll be back Thursday.🤙

So now companies will not be paying promoters to do advertising, they will just have to send you sats to get your attention. I’m ok with this.

P.S. I will look at whatever you want if you zap me 1000+ sats in a zap.

I'm reloading zap guns today.

Leave an emoji!

Get zapped!

I’ve been observing Bitcoin since 2011 on and off. It’s taught me a lot about money and politics that’s not working. Hoping to see Bitcoin becomes the universal currency in my lifetime 😎

I was raised in the Mormon church, and still consider much of my identity deeply rooted in what is my native wisdom tradition, so I know that what I'm about to say is divisive. But I need to say it. I could never say this at church, so I'm hoping I can say it here.

What if Christians miss the second coming because they think they know what they are looking for, and the truth is different from what they expect?

If Christians are honest with themselves, they have to admit this is a very real possibility, highlighted repeated by the Bible itself. The Jews didn't recognize salvation in Jesus because the miracle worker from Galilee who preached to love your enemy wasn't the political champion they anticipated. Those who sought to better worship God by etching him into stone accomplished the opposite of their intended efforts and instead estranged themselves from the true and living God by becoming idolaters.

When we freeze our understanding of God to a particular image of our limited understanding, we become idolaters and estrange ourselves from the true and living God.

Jesus embodied truth and love.

What if Christ's Second Coming refers to a time when once again truth and love are embodied on Earth, but not in a form that any Christian anticipates? The Old Testament repeatedly pointed to Jesus as the salvation that would walk among men, yet the experts and keepers of that tradition completely missed it.

What if Bitcoin fulfills the prophecy of truth and love embodied once again on Earth, walking among men, and bringing them salvation?

The prophecy goes that Christ will return and reign over the Earth in peace and prosperity for a thousand years, subduing all power that the devil once had. The prophecy goes that eventually every knee will bow, and tongue confess - which implies that many people will at first not recognize the Christ, even though he is staring them in the face.

How could people not recognize Christ?

What if instead of Christ returning as a being of light, truth, and love he actually returns as a network of energy, truth, and love?

Christ said that until we are one, we cannot be his. What better way to unite as one than to all speak the same incorruptible language? What better way to cooperate as one than to grant immutable property rights to every soul on earth that no tyrant can exploit?

As Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. You just have to learn to recognize it.

Why would a user I haven't blocked & have now repeatedly unblocked keep showing up as tho I have them blocked both in threads & when I go to their profile?

bitcoin is good

lightning is horrible

not for zapping very small amounts, it is great and very fast

but for operating it

extremely user unfriendly

not making any money

very centralized

trackable, not private

billionaires are setting themselves up to make a lot of money with lightning fees:

i like community driven projects

I use Bitcoin to withdraw my energy from the corrupted fiat system.

our water gets polluted

our food is toxic

cities worldwide are going coocoo

i bought 5 acres = 25000 m2 of land

water fountain with unpolluted water

i want to grow food and buy animals, chicken first, then others. starting farming, never done that before

i would like to get in touch with people who live off the grid

produce their own food, their own power

but are still connected to the web

what do people on nostr (and hence who presumably enjoy it and are getting value from it) make of the whole DID/web standards/key rolling critique?

it seems to have become oddly partisan wherever you look so I’m keen to crowdsource some thoughts that may well be passionate but are at least also sober and disinterested …
