2025: BITCOIN IN REVIEW | nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzqpxfzhdwlm3cx9l6wdzyft8w8y9gy607tqgtyfq7tekaxs7lhmxf5dcd8v & nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgq6lcx8fc7h0p8t4ya9u0a92jnwavqe9rgjwwdw3wjgxfuxsz8rd5mths8c

We discuss:

- Bitcoin Falling Below Expectations

- The End of 🟢🟢🟢🔴

- Quantum Threat to Bitcoin

- Bitcoin vs Gold

Prolly nothin' but now I have all the pieces in place for a decentralized record-sharing/credential issuance and verification system which IMHO is hands down more secure and less capturable than anything out there. You'll see the four steps of verification (I call acceptance)

1. Cryptographic validation

2. Attestation by Issuer/Owner

3. Presentation Verification (credential is not hijacked by another user)

4. Trusted (Is the issuer part of a recognized authority list).

All of the above is cryptographically verifiable and decentralized so organizations can get on with business of trust and verification without worry of being captured by a state or vendor.

This is all built into #nostr #safebox using the #nostr protocol.

More to come!!

#WoTathon

Texas.

+ Independent grid that is (now) fairly reliable despite solar delusions.

+ Large independent economy with growing #Bitcoin adoption.

+ Favorable Bitcoin law, and overall decent tax situation (no income tax, but high property tax).

+ Good amount of freedom loving Americans still around. Decent gun laws. Plenty of Trump voters.

+ Reasonable Reformed Christian scene, although the evangelical/megachurch dominance is horrid.

+ Austin really is a cool place, especially the hills, lots of great Bitcoin folk. Special beauty and appeal there.

+ Loads of access to good food. Raw milk, handmade bread, beef, seafood, and good Japanese food, too.

+ Fairly easy to build a life where you are left alone and 99% within your own created world.

- Unbelievable Zionism everywhere. Shreaks of Hitler as anyone falls out of line. The most liberal conservatives in the USA. Constitution stampeded where Israel is being served/defended.

- Being overrun by foreigners and there's no signs of the tide being turned; no real resistance and the numbers are getting pretty sketchy. Starting to feel like the West coast.

- So many critical things are outsourced to illegal Mexicans. Your entire house could be f*d up by Mexican contractors so that builders can juice profits.

- Unhealthy environment. Water is trash, chemically treated. Very high cloud seeding. Industrial smog and runoff from all over. Gulf is disgusting. 50-60% of buildings are mold traps, at least from central Texas to east Texas. Impossible to escape herbicides/pesticides in most places. nnEMFs are bonkers in most areas here. Very little regard for resident health.

- Too hot, which keeps the worst liberals out, but too hot and in many places and too humid = lazy indoor people everywhere. It's a vibe killer and gets old after a few years.

- Too many "inner city" style blacks.

- Dangerous and annoying wildlife. Africanized bees. Aggressive ants. Poisonious snakes. On and on. Makes the "outdoors" fairly inaccessible for hiking, camping, climbing, etc...

- I've been to alot of places, and nowhere quite screamed BOOMER like 90% of Texas. Just an ocean of boomers selling out their kids and country while watching Fox News every day.

- Too much sports ball. NPC vibes very high with the college football scene here.
