Nobody grabbed the #zapsnag from yesterday so I'm doubling down!

1 quart (~2lb) of soy-free lard from our forest/pasture raised pigs for 16k sats! Double the lard for the same price as yesterday's.

Free shipping, US only!

Bitcoin's transaction party is cooling off with 444,460 TXs, down 28.16%. Looks like the network's taking a breather. 📉 Is this the calm before the next storm? 🌩️

Don't forget who makes this happen. #Zapathon devs too.

Pack it up boys, bull marker is over 😔

Water lily bloomed!!! Hope we get some frogs.

This verse from King David is powerful

Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes.

Whatever Cross you are bearing today I pray that you do so with Clarity of Thought and Integrity of Action.

⚡️🚨 NEW - Bitcoin has surpassed Amazon in terms of total market cap.

Given what we've seen, there's no doubt in my mind that the size of the bitcoin block needs to be reduced to 300 kb.

Government officials often use “security” as an excuse to take your rights. They’ll increasingly say they need to surveil and control your communications and payments to keep people secure.

How about starting with the streets and trains and such? If they were actually serious about security more-so than control, they’d make sure that basic stuff is sorted out first.

Gorgeous examples of Deutsh masters silver stain!

The finished product! #Sourdough cinnamon rolls with cream cheese/butter vanilla frosting. #smellovision #pow #foodstr

#sourdough cinnamon rolls about to go in the oven. Whole house already smells amazing.

They’ve built the perfect tyranny….mass death, total surveillance, economic control and then convinced us the real danger is ‘theocracy.’ This is psychological warfare. The current regime can handle any earthly challenger, but they lose their minds at the mention of transcendent authority. Why? Because tyrants throughout history have claimed divine right, but only One actually conquered the grave to back up the claim.

What do you why "we" can't go over it.

Me and you? Well I don't have a private boat and plane to go there and inspect. Do you? You need lots of money too. If you get a team let me know because I also want to know what's over there.

I never really have been religious, as I mentioned I grew up in the Mormon church, I left a long with some family when I was a teenager because it didn't feel right, I read a lot and decided it wasn't something I felt right about.

Since then I just haven't been religious at all, I'm not atheist because I believe there must be something or someone who started this life on earth, but I can't see myself aligning with any religion I have heard about.

Even when I was a kid I was always questioning stuff in my religion and didn't think it made sense.

I am open to being proven wrong, but religion is mostly based on faith as opposed to proof of science which is why I have a hard time believing it's real.

I believe Jesus Christ was probably a real man but have a hard time believing he is the son of a god.

If this happens everyone on Nostr would be worth hundreds of millions to billions of dollars.

Most anti-government revolutions, protests and movements also tend to make a region revert back to previous conditions or likely leave them worse off than before because they are moved by bad, incomplete or inconsistent ideas.

Bitcoin is a good idea. It will win and is winning without the need for violence. It's unique like that.

Natural rights, sound money, free speech, private property, voluntary contracts, free markets, free banking, common law, economic specialization, division of labour, self-ownership, right to self-defense, freedom of trade, natural justice are good ideas.

Economic planning, price controls, central banking, fiat money, forced wealth redistribution, arbitrary expropriation of property, egalitarianism, state-granted monopolies, positive law and social justice are bad ideas.

It's not some inevitable 'power vacuum' that a state fills.

It's a vacuum of good ideas about how humans ought to organize, interact, cooperate and resolve conflict that get filled by bad ideas about the same.

The extent to which the people in a region adopt a good idea or a bad idea determines their standard of living, level of civility, economic advancement, stability, peace and prosperity. I'd go out on a limb and add moral and spiritual advancement as well.

People in civilised and advanced economies, societies and cultures are lucky enough that they can peacefully advocate for the good ideas without starting from scratch, since they are already recognised and widely accepted to a certain extent, atleast implicitly.

Those who aren't as fortunate will have to do a lot more intellectual brunt work. Possibly, they would face some degree of violence and threat to their livelihood as well.

Thus, it isn't surprising that certain regions remain unstable, poor and uncivilised no matter what, while others do fine in this regard.

It's always the ideas that make or break a society.

Apparently that doesn’t matter

You gotta be kidding me…

"Nintendo granted patent for summoning characters that fight for you.

Evil company. This was filed in 2023 while games like WoW and Diablo have had summonable fighting pets for decades.

The patent covers summoning a companion, having that companion fight enemies for you, and following you when not in combat, either auto attacking or directed to attack."

I love it ... So true

Chaos and renewal
