And because VCs
I didn't say all bitcoiners become home owners, but that bitcoin creates home owners.
For example, bitcoin enables me to buy a home that i couldnt have bought before bitcoin.
Even if I don't buy the home, others in my situation will and therefore bitcoin creates home owners.
Didn't mean to step into a bitcoin and renting vs home ownership debate.
"I met Ross’ mother, Lyn, late last year, when I was in Miami to perform my Ayn Rand EP at the Atlas Society gala. The World renowned “Pimp On A Blimp” Alex Stein very sweetly invited me to a party being hosted by Tim Pool, where I had a lovely time and met a number of fascinating people, and late in the night I was introduced to Lyn. She ended up giving me a lift back to my hotel, and on the journey we spoke about her fight for her son, and music, and I told her I’d like to make a song.
The next day, Lyn’s friend Martha Bueno sent me Ross’ 2021 Miami Bitcoin Conference address, delivered by crackling telephone from maximum security prison, and I listened to it all the way through, wandering around Miami, and it made me weep, and I knew then that it would be the basis of the record, which would now be an album, rather than just the one song.
Making the record had challenges, to be sure. Getting the tone right was crucial. This is a man’s life story, after all. A man locked in jail, presumably for ever. The telephone recording is certainly the trickiest vocal audio I’ve ever had to work with. And then there was the small matter of how it kept making me cry, which gets in the way of recording vocals.
I completed the record as Bitcoin was surging to $108,000, and the bitcoin 100k Christmas Parties that Clif High was predicting all those years ago were happening. Ross, meanwhile, remained in prison. But there is hope. In an address to the Libertarian National Convention in May, Donald Trump declared, 'if you vote for me, on Day One, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht.'
Well, they voted for him, and Day One is fast approaching.
Merry Christmas Ross.
Merry Christmas Lyn.
And Merry Christmas to you, beloved Meaningwave enjoyer.
Enjoy this new album. https://go.meaningwave.com/FREEDOM

Bitcoin creates home owners.
Normie's just don't understand

Montessori is great
Nice note, flows matter.
Normie advice is "today's winners are tomorrows losers"
Fools.
Scarcity is currently under priced.
Thanks for the mid curve consensus thought of the day, cubes.
Jeesh, He gets worse by the day.
Considering nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg premium for video uploads, why ya gotta do us dirty like that nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr ? 😂
just kidding. I'm sure it's probably just some 3rd party currency conversion API gone rogue.
$80 USD vs $92 USD/KES
Small size, digital, fx conversion is a b****
Large spreads are expected on direct conversions but I wonder if they could do some backend work to intermediate the swap with btc
USD/btc/kes could be cheaper than USD/kes
Its a long, lonely, frustrating road.
But so is training for a marathon.
The sense of accomplishment is incredible.
You'll retrain your brain to be modular, structured, and algorithmic in thinking and be better for it.
I'm always interested in what you have to say but disagree with the conclusion
Central bank = communism because central bank before communism.
In the central bank system the people do not control the means of production, which I understand to be a prereq. Also private property exists, even though prices are bastardized.
I'm more sympathetic to the idea that
Central banking is like socialism, as it involves government control and regulation of the economy, with decisions made by insiders and friends of the govt, rather than communism's complete abolition of private ownership.
Communism is a red herring of the socialist movement.
Could be my jekyl island bias though.
damn, sorry to hear of your loss
Entp, the most ungovernable of all the extravert's :)
Some middle east sultans and Korean degens think its the next bitcoin or ethereum
The state lacks all accountability and feels no obligation to tell the truth.
This is why we've opted out.
If anyone is on FB still let's get this fella on nostr.
Thanks for sharing friend
