Is this the reason that Nostr is purple? In the absence of the color spectrum does our brain actually work harder for it? Would purple give us a deeper memory? Interesting color from a marketing perspective. https://youtu.be/CoLQF3cfxv0
Interesting read from 2022. https://aaltodoc.aalto.fi/server/api/core/bitstreams/a9958345-65d8-4c53-8522-eeffc4000359/content
This Saturday is going to be the best bitcoin builders party in the middle of nowhere.

When people that depend on shitcoins start to call shitcoins nuclear/toxic waste, are we nearing the end of shitcoins?
The only way to secure digital scarcity is to create physical uncapturable abundance that remains in consensus. In the end digital is just the status of transistors in one or multiple locations. Social consensus among the multiple is a challenge. Money in the end is just a social phenomenon.
If we don’t manage to decentralize mining (templates) before regulatory capture, who will control the “compliance” list?
Proof of Clog
Sometimes it feels like silence before the storm. But actually it’s not silence, because the rambling is insanely loud. We’ve never sold this amount of goods via our webshop. More and more people are waking up. And we are here to make sure they get to safety and make people understand it requires proof of work to be safe from the fiat massacre. Our building will not stop until we reach our goal. “You can only have a great life when people around you have a great life” will start to ramp up local efforts.
In the bitcoin community there are people who produce things and just send an email: “created this”
In todays bitcoin builders, someone translated the amazing video of nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a in Dutch: 🙏
Because there was some anon that posted about a free spot at nostr:npub1urcgztrq9ewytua5k7x5cvz0jy2zqhcgnt283275zvhmcxspm00s0f82uc : we went. The German bitcoin community is alive and kicking. The amount of proof of work being done by this community is staggering. And I had to do my best to speak some low level German on high level topics.
It strengthens to see so many so deep down the rabbithole connecting with each other and their families. Bitcoin will not be stopped because of these people and the next generations embracing its philosophy. Truth is out there and will prevail. Thank you for having us and the amazing time and effort put into this weekend. There is no better place than a church to talk about bitcoin until deep in the night. 🙏
What are the main dangers of hiking and camping over there? Bears?
I’ve had a meeting in the Netherlands about attached. Read it and tell me how you feel. Now amplify this feeling times hundred and you’ll know how I feel after this meeting:

Fiat payments are a pain. Can we incorporate shipping data in somekind of checkout way automatically. Like people use a Nostr plugin or Nostr login where it just shares the shipping data and pays. The single button Apple Pay feature sharing the shipping data automatically is quite simple, plus it automatically generates a private email
address. We should have a bitcoin pay button that is able to do the exact same thing.

Had a very exciting afternoon with nostr:nprofile1qqsfqg870ptm6guj65zta6u726rhdag80p8mtddfftmmtmc6a9uq9zgprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj730qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzdmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82c30uxp7js from nostr:nprofile1qqsqx8xlj3slw6yt3nx208fal6vm598tetl8nkzgdtwnqmyw83g7u0cpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0vy95r7 💜 We talked all things #bitcoin, decentralization of mining solutions, and future projects. We ended with an icebath 🧊 
This guy can stay in freezing water insanely long, he even went in twice.
While discussing plans for the future of bitcoin…
Bitcoiners are built differently and will deliver proof of work.
Sit down relax and watch princes of the yen. Understand where we are living in and what bitcoin solves.
I send out the package today. I’m taking the €4,- loss on the shipping.
I’ve just lowered shipping cost for EU for Jades because of your post. I believe spreading a cheap device is critical for adoption. I lowered it €10.- even though there are countries that would make us lose a lot on the shipping.
Might have to install an exact shipping cost per country, that would be much better. Will look into that this week. 🙏 for your order.
I tend to agree with @bitcoinpierre on the perfect Sunday to learn about money. The current situation fits this early morning read https://mises.org/mises-daily/yield-money-held-reconsidered
I’m sorry but this is the shippers to blame they increased shipping cost to Italy with 120% since last year.
That’s not true, we’ve always had a lot in stock and have always been below that price… nostr:npub1qvwdl9rp7a5ghrxv57wnml5ehg2whjh708vys6kaxpkgu0z3aclsuy2h4p

On the 10th of September we have the court case with the Dutch central bank. In October it will be conferences and builds we have to deliver. A lot of meetings for micar. After October I hope to have some more time shift towards friends and family.
So finished some analysis on spent time.
Week consists of 168 hours
60 hours sleep
30 hours VBNL.org
30 hours nostr:npub1qvwdl9rp7a5ghrxv57wnml5ehg2whjh708vys6kaxpkgu0z3aclsuy2h4p
20 hours family / friends
20 hours food / household

I think I’ll have to change some things at some point.

Cool.
You’re welcome. I actually love that the designer put personal things on the notes that the Dutch central bank didn’t verify.
It’s very clear that the engineers and designer were capable of building freely for an optimal physical money. While there wasn’t too much extreme centralized control. This is something we should see in bitcoin development in the Netherlands too. Let everyone be free in developing open source software. It might create the best form of money in the world and everyone will thrive for it.
On Sundays it’s time to learn about money in general. And the origin of the euro banknotes is fascinating. The short documentary (unfortunately sponsored) I watched is worthwhile understanding. The low time preference and proof of work that went into these notes is admirable. There’s a weird screenshot I took from the documentary and would love to know if this was a joke by the documentary makers? The text (see snippet below) is really in this documentary.
