Kids are classic. My 13yr old and I were discussing his, less than ideal, school report card and he was attempting to describe his future as a digital nomad but instead said, “When I am older and a Bitcoin Gonad, I won’t need to worry about my grades.” 🤣🤣🤣
I am pretty sure if he is a Bitcoin Gonad he will be correct. 🙈
One honest person created honest money. Now honest money is creating a world of honest people.
Satoshi is the butterfly.

In Australia they are already archiving or destroying information that used to readily available but now goes against the mainstream narrative. For example, historical Australian Bureau of Meteorology data is now extremely hard and expensive to access (it used to be readily available and free)… perhaps the climate changes are a myth and the historical data provides evidence of the myth.
If necessity is the mother of all inventions than it stands to reason that the ability to store value across time, hard money, is the daddy.
I suspected you might have. 😉
Ok, not Bitcoin related but interesting if you believe how we think effects how we feel.

Hey all.
You may or not be aware of the recent proposal to further regulate “digital asset platforms” such as crypto exchanges, who currently require an AFSL because they deal with financial products and other high risk activities.
A fact sheet can be found here: https://treasury.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-10/c2023-427004-fs.pdf
However, you may not realise that this proposal will create a new financial product, one that requires any entity providing an “asset holding” service, regardless of the asset being a financial product or not.
This expansion of regulatory control will thereby include bitcoin-only exchanges, requiring them to undertake the costs and the regulatory burden of an AFSL, despite not participating in the same high-risk activities crypto exchanges typically do.
It is strongly recommended to provide comment on this; high-risk activities deserve the regulations.
Bitcoin-only exchanges do not.
This will result in raising the barrier to entry for new participants, and push consumers into leaving their bitcoin in the hands of people who have a greater exposure to high risk activity.
I’ll be sharing a version of my response if you care to use any/all of it.
Please share this with others who may be interested; Twitter, Facebook, Nostr, etc.

So I’m learning about my Nostr zaps from my lightning wallet, not from my Nostr/Damus UX. It doesn’t have the same warm and fuzzy excitement of opening Damus and immediately realising someone sent you money because they found value in your posts.
Rifting on from a conversation last night about “trusting the professionals” and “trusting the science” … and paraphrasing John Galt:
“When you outsource your responsibility to think, you outsource your right to life”
There is only one person on this planet that can ever truly have and should, by the very nature of being human, ever have your best interests at heart and that person is YOU.
If you refuse to trust yourself and instead outsource that responsibility to anyone else than you get exactly what is in their best interest to give you, be it good, bad or ugly.
You gave up your right to it being anything that is in your best interest.
Do you see any of this reflected in the world you are currently living in?
“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.”

I will not zap you. What you are promoting is anti freedom.
Love it. There is an African American speaker who calls financial success as success 1.0 and then goes onto explain success 2.0 and 3.0. From memory, success 3.0 is contribution or legacy. I can’t remember 2.0… it might be self fulfilment.
Some clever people can bypass 1.0. It is an empty kind of success anyway… Ayn Rand would call 3.0, production in the sense only of goods/services of value in a truly free market.
Musk/Tesla would be unlikely of ever achieving success 3.0. Much the same as current solar and wind farms and zombie corporations.
My 11yr old daughter would like to know why you have a blue cushion instead of an orange cushion on your couch? 🤔
This is much bigger than a stuffed toy. I think the price is more than fair in the context of a protocol for freedom.
This is not accurate… the problem is the lack of ‘real’ men. Men, can handle strong women but good lord they are hard to find. Took until I was 34 to find an actual man. I dated many boys who claimed to be men. Seems though the Bitcoin community is an exceptionally good filter.
Don’t get me wrong, there are just as many unworthy women, they are just not what I’d call ‘strong women’.
