Okay…so a year ago almost to the day when I got laid off and decided I wanted to work in bitcoin…

…today is definitely not what I was expecting. Be careful what you ask for!

I’m finding Primal almost unusable this past week. Why are so many posts in my feed showing the raw note IDs instead of rendering the quoted note? Is this happening for anyone else on Primal? The quoted notes render fine in other clients. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr

Additionally having trouble tagging users in Primal. Posting this from Nostur because it just works.

$58k by end of day.

You shouldn’t be forced to invest just to maintain your purchasing power.

Y'all ready for german car bombs?

Well, Bitcoin separates money and state, while ethireum separates money from stupid people.

Saying ai is stealing is like saying being inspired and making art in someone’s style is stealing. It’s just hard for humans because computers learn much faster and it seems unfair that computers can make art in your style with so little effort. nostr:note1v992ptyddc5z4h898fl3wx5zjuvn80ahh0lmjm6jqe88trwh35vqz0lnz3

Carmel by the Sea is pretty epic.

Every time I try to open a bank account, in ANY country, I’m reminded of how utterly broken & backwards the banking system is.

The amount of data collected, and the amount of microscoping into your asshole they do, just so you can use your OWN money is mind boggling.

I sincerely look forward to the day this stupid system is wholesale abolished. Seriously. Fuck these people.

#bitcoin

I'm primarily in BTC & ETH. What am I missing?

Today I visited a school for mentally challenged and disabled kids that didn’t have a lick of AC.

Classrooms do have ceiling fans but they do sweet fuck all when it gets to a certain temperature.

It was 35 degrees + humid today but felt like 42.

That’s like when you open the oven door to check on your chicken.. every time you step outside.

Why was I there?

Well bitcoiners at btccuracao funded the school’s brand new WiFi.

I wanted to see the impact of this donation and speak to a poorer community about their experience with btc.

Btccuraco paid the internet company that installed the WiFi in Sats as part of the donation. It’s one of many grassroots initiatives they undertake to try to show that bitcoin is better money.

The new WiFi is a total game changer for the school and the teachers were tearful explaining how much it has helped them teach, inspire and lead these less fortunate kids.

But it only goes so far.

The solar panels atop the school’s long roof “stopped working” this week.

A govt contractor installed the panels this year as a “go green” initiative.

Long story of govt enraging incompetence short, basically half the school had working WiFi + ceiling fans. Sometimes the electricity simply cuts out.

So one half of the school had classrooms of engaged kids with YouTube access + useful visual aids for the kids in a semi manageable heat

while the other half slowly cooked and tried to read books in the inferno.

My white shirt was wet and transparent by the time I finished the school tour. I was like how the feck are these kids gonna get a chance in life?

I interviewed the head of ICT who was gushing about the new WiFi and was saying how some of the kids can now learn to code with this Minecraft coding thing.

She had the biggest heart. But like many islanders she had been crypto scammed a few years ago and was still really reluctant about bitcoin.

Really saddening because of course no sane person thinks “oh yeah I’m gonna learn about bitcoin now I sold my gold necklace for a crypto thing 5 years ago and never got the money back.”

I managed to send her some sats to say thank you but if I’m honest I think it’s coz I was recording this during the interview.

In all, I left the school utterly humbled and a little bit angry at the world.

I don’t have a nice thing to round off on, sorry.

Bitcoin doesn’t fix everything. And some things utterly suck.

Tell me the story of your bitcoin journey in 5 lines or less.

Best story wins 100k sats.

I just got a call from my bank. Asking me, if I wanted to sit down with them to discuss my financial options, and I basically just told them they are a stepping stone for me to get to Bitcoin, and I just used them as an on-ramp.

🤷‍♂️

Sorry. Not sorry.

If you're trying to grow your NOSTR profile and are focused on posting new content, you're missing out.

commenting on other people's stuff is the way

think about it. there's no Discovery tool for people to find new accounts that are posting and everyone who is posting is starving for engagement.

This has been the same for growing an account on X, but it's even more drastic here.

A fantastic chart from Julian Bittel of #RealVision showing Global M2 (with a ten-week lead) and the price of #bitcoin in US dollar terms.

Like me, Julian believes that we are in the final days and weeks of accumulating bitcoin at relatively dirt-cheap prices.

You do you... but I think it is unwise to keep sitting on the sidelines during a global M2 bull market.

As you and I know, #Bitcoin is the Great Absorber of Liquidity.
