Attack Canada and make deals with Russia, absolutely amazing work everyone

It’s actually crazy that I can just randomly pay/tip Calle, without knowing his real name or business identity, and yet still know it’s actually him due to a self-organizing social graph.

Ecash can make it even easier and more private. But the capability is already under-appreciated.

What’s the best documentary you’ve ever seen?

Climate change policies: It's a very expensive way to live like a poor person.

What’s it called when the government raises the prices on everything except wages????

This little quail ran head first into a metal fence.

We tried to nurse him back to health, but he didn’t make it.

Rest in peace my fine feathered friend.

I just want to dock my phone and get a full blown linux desktop experience. How close are we 👀 nostr:note1zcwhwkrc0ns8tvg7gvgf93skcy09spydh5yma3afva2v22n6dtvqz32z5t

Meanwhile…

Exactly 4 years ago today, I sat in a company-wide meeting with a "crypto expert."

He said Bitcoin was useless beyond being digital gold — and some random altcoin called Polkadot was the future. Everyone thanked him for his wisdom. We were supposed to learn from "industry experts" to keep up with trends as early-stage venture investors.

I started digging deeper into Bitcoin and calling out altcoins as scams.

A senior partner pulled me aside and tore me down:

"Are we done here?"

"You have no track record."

"Your conviction is like a religious belief."

"You're being irrational and ideological."

He laughed when I said maybe the financial system is broken. From his perspective, he couldn’t see it — because he was making a fortune pumping startups that barely existed. The irony was lost on him: the very fact that so much money was being thrown at vaporware proved just how broken the system was.

Another partner called me a spruiker — said I was trying to pump my own Bitcoin bag to get rich and dump it on others.

It was hard to hold steady when surrounded by people who benefit from the status quo.

That day, I wrote in my journal: "As of today, I've decided to leave [this company]."

Four years later, Polkadot is down 90% against Bitcoin. And it’s been the best four years of my life.

(Btw, I use a journalling app called Journey that reminds me of what I wrote x years ago today, it's useful for reflecting)

Have you remembered to call someone a retard today?

That's not the same baby snake. Don't BS your kids! 🤣
