So good, found a wagyu one the other day. It melts on the knife without applying any heat to it. Absolutely boss.

Such a banger from nostr:npub1eequz6v23szzyx9utphsh8kg6kll50wte6sfh4vah8gdjtplcz6qg7at9s

Waterhouse pulls a bill from the top of the bundle. The top is printed in Japanese characters and bears an engraved picture of Tojo. He flips it over. The back is printed in English: TEN POUNDS.

“Australian currency,” Waterhouse says. “Don’t look Australian to me,” the Army guy says, glowering at Tojo. “If the Nips had won…” Waterhouse says, and shrugs. [...] The fine print on the bill says, IMPERIAL RESERVE BANK, MANILA. “Sir! You okay?” the Army guy says. Waterhouse realizes he’s been thinking for a while. [...] He was thinking about whether it was okay to take some of this money with him. It’s okay to take souvenirs, but not to loot. So he can take the money if it’s worthless, but not if it is real money.

Now, someone who was not so inclined to think and ponder everything to the nth degree would immediately see that the money was worthless, because, after all, the Japanese did not take Australia and never will. So that money’s just a souvenir, right? Probably right.

The money is effectively worthless. But if Waterhouse were to find a real Australian ten-pound note and read the fine print, it would also probably bear the imprimatur of a reserve bank somewhere.

Two pieces of paper, each claiming to be worth ten pounds, each very official-looking, each bearing the name of a bank. One of them a worthless souvenir and one legal tender for all debts public and private. What gives?

What it comes down to is that people trust the claims printed on one of those pieces of paper but don’t trust the other. They believe that you could take the real Australian note to a bank in Melbourne, slide it over the counter, and get silver or gold—or something at least—in exchange for it. Trust goes a long way, but at some point, if you’re going to sponsor a stable currency, you must put up or shut up. Somewhere, you have to actually have a shitload of gold in the basement.

Sitting at the beach. Ordering stuff from nostr:npub1eequz6v23szzyx9utphsh8kg6kll50wte6sfh4vah8gdjtplcz6qg7at9s. Paying for it using #Bitcoin through nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5. Posting about it on #Nostr. Life is beautiful. The future is now.

Airgapped - it's a feature not a bug

Maybe it's useful in a scenario where you forgot your coat at the meetup, it's dark outside and you need to make that one super important transaction from your cold storage.
