I read somewhere that you can just give the ecash token to a second mint and they can fetch the amount from the first mint.

In this way you could move funds between mints, and even spread funds around, without revealing your identity or amount held.

💯🎯

You’re right. It’s all about freedom. Price doesn’t matter when you never want to sell and get trapped back in the fiat financial system.

Many normies pinging me recently … they seem impatient and frustrated that there was no big jump after the halving. Based on the negative sentiment, feels like we’re getting close to the end of this consolidation.

Ecash seems like a single anonymity set because you can freely transfer in and out of mints using Lightning. i.e make a deposit to one mint, then transfer to one or more other mints.

If sats can seamlessly and privately flow throughout all mints then it appears to me that they share the larger anonymity set.

Unless I’m missing something, it seems receiving ecash would be the same as receiving monero.

Rich renters. Less house, more bitcoin?

I believe that selling bitcoin to buy a house is only advisable when you found the perfect forever place for your family.

It’s fascinating how we can see it but still don’t know what this actually is.

Money is “winner take most” and the best money gains disproportionately.

I’m expecting Monero to lose usage over time because bitcoin is the better store of value. This reduces monero’s privacy because you have a smaller group to hide in.

This is why I believe we have no choice but to build our privacy into Bitcoin’s L2s like Lightning and federated ecash.

So many cool products out there. I wonder if this or something like it can also handle the sewage from the home.

And you can be bitcoin mining when you’re not using the biogas for cooking 😉

Yep. Maybe there needs to be a website for people to discuss and rank different solutions for housing, electricity, fresh water, sewage, etc. and get organized, create a set of open source plans 🤔💭

Here’s something I’ve been looking at. 👇They have a 44ft dome version which is 1500 sq ft. Not sure how much it is, but the 36ft version is quoted at $22k. Maybe some of those panels could be replaced with solar panels.

I’m wondering if a complete solution could be found for $50k - $75k per family, not including the land.

Ideally everything would be cookie cutter and scalable. Someone would find a raw piece of land and then start the project with a couple families. A team of specialists would arrive to prepare the land and train the residents. As new families sign up, hopefully it would be straightforward to just add another dwelling. After X families, add another tank, water well, whatever.

With a pre-vetted set of products and systems (solar, water, sewage, etc) maybe costs would be lower and everything easier to maintain. 🤷‍♂️

Lately I’ve been starting to think more about helping to build a citadel community somewhere. The community, food security, natural food and health benefits etc.

Society is increasingly dysfunctional. Becoming increasingly clear that we need to take matters into our own hands now.

I was thinking about buying a large acreage in a remote but beautiful part of the world. Close enough but not too close to civilization. Build for my family and friends and just invite others to join us if they can.

What’s holding me back from jumping into a bigger project is that I’m unsure in which country to put down “roots” — are there any free countries left?

I’ve spent a lot of time and resources becoming globally mobile. I saw with shock and sadness how many countries swung to socialism and authoritarianism over the last few years. Countries that I once thought of as “free countries” were some of the worst. I wanted the ability to go anywhere to avoid more craziness as this fourth turning progresses.

So now I’m mobile and unsure where to stay long term.

Or maybe help build a few in different countries?

I don’t know. I’ve just been thinking about it more.

I suspect, for most of us, retirement is just working on what interests you and no longer working for the next paycheck. What will you work on when you’re retired?

I didn’t read the whole Satoshi thread but it seems we do have the ability to create multiple addresses and as far as I know nobody can directly associate that address to your master private key. Of course, chain analysis companies can indirectly associate addresses together through spending heuristics.

Monero has blinded amounts which obviously adds a lot of privacy with a trade off of less trust in the core monetary policy.

I personally like having a transparent L1 with privacy through L2s. Feels like the correct balance of privacy and transparency.

But It doesn’t transcribe to the exact same spike does it? They modified that too.

Interesting how you can’t find official data on the durability of modRNA. You don’t think that’s odd?

Anyway, the reason the credibility of the NIH is relevant is that the NIH regulators were personally paid $700 million and you’re sending me NIH studies and saying I’m not following the science.

BTW, what happens to studies that don’t increase those payments? Are researchers forced to publish them?

But if you think you can trust those studies that they did publish, then i don’t know what to say. 😂

You didn’t seem to know that it was modRNA and you don’t seem to know that they modified the spike too. I would recommend you dig into it a bit further a with a careful eye on who is telling you what and whether you think the person is motivated by something other than your health.

That paper seems to just do a binary test of whether it was detected or not using a test we now know is faulty. Even still, the paper didn’t find statistically significant positivity in heart fluid (1 out of 2 samples).

The shots don’t contain mRNA. They contain modRNA. The lifetime isn’t measured in minutes. Spikes have been measured in victims even months after the shot indicating that potentially the modRNA is incredibly durable or the RNA is being reverse transcribed into celular DNA.

You can find these details if you want.

Also, if you don’t yet recognize that you have been lied to by every official agency on this topic, didn’t notice the $700 million in payments from pharma to the personal bank accounts of the regulators, and if you haven’t noticed the coordinated censorship of doctors, then by all means, keep on injecting yourself with whatever they tell you. It’s for the greater good, after all. 🫡

People starting to realize the foundation issues with nostr. I love it too but know it’s unfortunately not (yet) a serious platform for free speech. Not when you can be easily identified. This will always create a risk and chilling effect.

We need to be careful because it can lure people into a false sense of security. They may think they’re anonymous when they’re not. nostr:note1cwxq67fv55kuzaayxsxsc6fh4r7wv4zy8uup28vj6yskv07a4hesnex6jx

“It seems incredibly implausible to me that a non-replicating tiny fragment of virus mRNA (the vaccine) can do more harm than a replicating complete virus. The latter leaves much more RNA all over your body.”

The RNA isn’t the problem. It’s the spike protein. Here’s why it’s plausible to me.

There are inconsistent volumes of lipid nanoparticles in the shot. Some batches are known to be “hot”.

It appears this LNPs have an affinity to particular organs.

We don’t how long to those transfected cells produce spike proteins (but the mRNA was modified to last longer than normal mRNA)

I’m not so confident that the viral infection produces less dangerous spike protein than natural infection.

Furthermore, the virus enters via your nasal passages which are primed to detect infections and your immune system responds earlier to reduce viral load.

Whereas the LNPs go straight to internal organs (like your heart) and produce a toxin in unknown volumes for unknown duration.

I’m half expecting Trump to choose someone like Pence again for VP. If something happens to Trump, there will be a deep state candidate ready to assume the presidency.
