This looks like it would kill me.

Bought my first cast-iron pan recently. Just finished curing it for the third time. Ready for action!

Decentralize all the things

Goodnight everyone 🥰 #plebchain

My new signature #zap is 84 sats.

Here’s why:

84 is the two-digit abbreviation for 1984. It’s the year Apple under its founder Steve Jobs released the first Mac and started a revolution in personal computing. They celebrated this with a legendary Super Bowl ad created by the agency Chiat/Day and directed by Ridley Scott. It directly referenced the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, depicting a dystopian future world where a totalitarian figure known as Big Brother has absolute power over the population, controlling their behavior and warping their sense of reality, and one person singlehandely challenging the status quo.

In the almost 40 years since and under new leadership, Apple has transformed itself into everything it originally stood against, and now holds innovators and digital pioneers hostage, extorts value from them, and actively stands in the path of the decentralized revolution they know is coming, are powerless to stop, yet hope they can delay because it threatens their power.

The other reason I chose 84 is because it is a multiple of 21, a reference to the maximum supply of 21 million bitcoin that will ever exist by the time the final block is mined more than a century from now. 4x21 also symbolizes the block halving, whereby the supply of new bitcoin is reduced by 50% every four years. The time between each halving is a period historically marked by a gradual rise then sudden explosion in both the fiat-denominated value of the asset and the attention it attracts, followed by an eventual and lengthy collapse of both. During these times, we are given the opportunity to build new technology, grow our community, and see who stays for the next cycle, and who only showed up for what they thought was easy money.

This time around, we built #nostr, allowing us to begin to unshackle ourselves from abusive relationships with all-seeing, controlling, and corrupt social media and technology giants, and to use #bitcoin as the built-in mechanism by which we reward our fellow users for the value of the content they share. We are not selling digital goods, as Apple says. We are sharing digital good. They don’t understand this yet, and they may never, but in the end, it won’t matter, because in both nostr and bitcoin, we’ve discovered something that can’t be stopped, and will only become stronger as it is attacked. Apps will come and go, but protocols are here to say. I am confident that 116 years into the future, bitcoin will still exist, but Apple most likely will not.

We may have a long way to go to find the freedom we are seeking, but this is only the beginning. We are unstoppable.

#quotes

I rarely lose my temper, but whenever I do a couple times per year, my writing gets 10x as much reach and likes and shares, and gets basically immortalized. But I'm rarely happy about it when it does.

I still think about this a lot in terms of how I choose to use social media- with reach comes responsibility.

It's both a bad thing and a good thing. On one hand, it's not great that posts based on a combination of emotion and reason get *way* better reach than ones based on more pure reason alone. For "clicks" the best thing I could do for a given post is lose my temper and go all-out on something.

On the other hand, the rare cases where I lose my temper are based on serious built-up frustrations over months. I'm frustrated about something, keep holding it back, and then something becomes intolerable. My socially-compliant self-censorship all unravels at once, not perfectly, but with a clear aspect of *deep* honesty. And people see that honesty because it reflects their own. So it spreads.

So, most of the time, I write carefully, and I know my audience comes from multiple different backgrounds, literally from Indonesian farmers to Wall Street institutional billionaires, and I try to politely move the Overton window from within the Overton window. But a couple times per year, I lose my temper and post my emotional thoughts, which in some ways are more honest, but are also not exactly my ideal self-actualized self.

I end up being grateful for both my constant attempt at control and my rare tempers, because somewhere in the middle is my truth. That blend between controlled reason and built-up emotion is really hard to manage in an era of digital media and semi-immortalized content.

Anyway, I'll post this random stuff on Nostr, not Twitter. You guys and girls get the real thoughts because you're here.

Made myself a nice lil projectile target today

Alright I'm drunk and horny

Time to browse egirls.relaying.io

It’s a magical place - hope you can make Nostrville in November!
