NEW: The European Central Bank claims early #Bitcoin adopters "steal" economic value from latecomers.

HFSP. 😆

GM,

This morning I am just reflecting on how profound the internet is.

Much of my of my life and who I am has been defined by it. I have been lucky enough to meet people from all over the world and some of my deepest friendships are a product of starting to interact with people online. Most of my adult jobs came from working at internet companies, and I helped scale teams that were totally remote and built incredible things with people whom I never actually met.

What the internet opens each of us up to is a radically new and different form of life. One where we are no longer limited to relationships just within our immediate proximity, but that we can seek out others like us from all over the plant to create, build, inspire, grow, and love together. It is truly profound what we are building here with Nostr and Bitcoin and the very real hope and agency that it can offer to all people everywhere, forever. It is the hope of an internet where all peoples who participate and create it together are self-sovereign; owning their data, wealth, and health of their digital life to enhance and liberate the lives they experience and are reflected in meatspace.

Thanks to each and everyone of you for believing in this vision we all share of an internet that is truly free, and beyond the power and control of any nation-state, corporation, or government to use against any of us. It is a task that is reserved for only us, and this generation of peoples at this time. We can lose this all and be doomed to a life for ourselves and all postally to come inside of a guild panoptic cage controlled and owned by states and corporations where the very concept of privacy is eliminated. That is a world that we cannot allow to come into existence, and with each and every one of you fighting against it, I know that we will win.

Thank you for believing in this, for working on it, and for participating. It means more than any of us will ever know, and our great grandchildren will one day beam with pride in knowing that their ancestors worked on such important projects.

The official position of the Spiral team is that Satoshi is a cat:

1) Never around when people want them to be.

2) Impossible to find when they don’t want to be found.

3) Eats weird gross food.

4) Proficient in C++, which has the number of characters as “cat,” starts with a C, and has a character that looks like a lowercase T.

5) Keeps weird hours.

6) Prefers English spelling because all cats have British accents.

7) What are cypherpunks if not mysterious? What are cats if not mysterious?

8) Independent and unknowable.

9) Whiskers, probably.

10) Could be sitting next to you and you wouldn’t know it.

11) Could be sitting on you and you wouldn’t know it.

12) Knows how to use a keyboard.

13) Very popular online.

14) Known to “move on to other things.”

15) Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese name. You know who eats a lot of fish? The Japanese. You know who else?

"Rest" days

Wake up

Eat breakfast

Go for a long walk outside

Eat lunch

Go for a long walk outside

Eat dinner

Go for a long walk outside

Couple hours of chill time

Go to bed

toilet paper appears to be a store of value.

Good morning #Nostr

Wishing all you creatives and free thinkers a blessed day.

And if no one has told you lately, you matter and everything is going to be ok.

The world is in turmoil but we cannot lose ourselves in the chaos. Find your light, whatever it is, and hold onto it as tightly as you can.

It’s the only way we can make it through.

#Tao Te Ching: Chapter 44

Fame or integrity: which is more important?

Money or happiness: which is more valuable?

Success of failure: which is more destructive?

If you look to others for fulfillment,

you will never truly be fulfilled.

If your happiness depends on money,

you will never be happy with yourself.

Be content with what you have;

rejoice in the way things are.

When you realize there is nothing lacking,

the whole world belongs to you.

😮👌

For me, the point is a circular economy, and a #bitcoin community.

#Geoengineering is without a doubt the darkest rabbit hole I've ever explored. Most others have a fairly clear solution at the end of the tunnel (Bitcoin for example), which you can adopt to protect yourself and your loved ones, which satisfies the selfish side of all of us.

With geoengineering, there is no quick fix you can make to protect yourself. It's a harsh, brutal realization that every breath we take in 2024, we are inhaling toxic nanoparticles of aluminum and other chemicals from the MASSIVE-scale spraying operations that are going on in every corner in the globe.

It ruins things that you once loved. I used to enjoy going running shirtless in the forest in the rain. Now I know that rain is toxic, and doing this increases my exposure. (You can easily test this in any body of water near you by the way; just grab a sample from the local lake or snowpack and test it for aluminum, and you'll see off-the-charts levels no matter where you live)

All of this is a big reason why so many people brush off the #chemtrails topic, even when deep down they have a feeling that yet again, the "conspiracy theorists" have hit the nail on the head.

This truth SUCKS. There's no fluffing this one up with rainbows and sunshine. (No literally you can't get any sunshine, there's a constant haze over it now)

But we have to dig deep, push through the dark realizations, all the dead bees, dying trees, and rapid disappearance of birds and other wildlife populations you used to see in your childhood nature sanctuaries, which you now understand why...

If we don't raise hell over this and give it every damn bit of firepower we've got NOW, the human race, and the entire web of life, are fucked.

We have no other choice but to push forward, by making as much noise as possible (and buying #bitcoin harder to disconnect these psychopaths from the money printer!), so we can give ourselves the best possible chance to blow this regime of evil to smithereens, and finally give mother earth the breathing room she needs to heal herself from all the damage the worst humans on the planet have inflicted on her.
