Trump is now selling a Trump Bitcoin Watch

We are in week 2

“Here is a 10% tax for being White.”

This is a pic from Jan 2017.

Today I paid $15.69 for it.

I like don’t even know what to do with this information

Need expensive hardware that a lot of people can't afford to run the big model. I agree the future is open source and running it locally.

that should be obvious

but what about running it locally

Oh, this video can very much be taken down, by primal in fact. It is not a blossom video, just a regular old link "https: //m.primal. net/NvIK. mov", and that link can die. And then the video is gone🤷‍♂️.

The note containing that link will we a lot easier to keep alive though, for starters because it is on two relays at least; but it wont be of much use at that point now would it.

Now if it were a blossom upload, then it could still be taken down, but can be put back up elsewhere, and hopefully your client can figure out where to find it 🧐

In any event, censorship resistance is not censorship immunity, they have yet to develop such a vaccine

I second that reco.

It’s logical if you look at specific examples too. Like, my dog has had to wear a cone on his head for the last few days, and I tried to imagine what other material than plastic it could be made out of. Anything else would be very expensive and less usable.

Then, when you think of all the other millions of applications of plastic in our world and how cheap it has made them for the same functionality as before, we obviously have benefitted a huge amount from that cost savings. Just think of how much plastic has made cars alone so easily reproducible.

Ignoring the externalities of plastic for a moment, the cost and efficiency improvements have obviously rippled through all of society. And that’s just one single innovation!

Now do the same thing for how we communicate, how we write documents, how we fly, how we produce food, etc. try to think of any single industry or activity you complete in a day that hasn’t been touched by efficiency and productivity improvements.

Now, ask yourself where have all those cost savings gone?

The only counterexamples I can think of are items that are truly scarce, such as single works of art by master painters, waterfront property in desirable locations, or gold, which can’t be produced more efficiently. but those examples prove the principle by looking at their dramatic pricing increases.

Don’t feed the system that feeds off of you.

And, rather than complaining…

Help build the systems that make a better world.

Our account on X has just been suspended.

We're moving to Nostr as our a primary source of information during the conference, until further notice.

The way I feel now, fuck X. Never going back there.

This is shaping up to be a hugely successful conference, tickets are basically sold out, we have some two of the largest political parties involved with senior leaders participating, there's huge excitement...

...and two days before the conference, we kicked off from Elon's pet project, for undetermined reasons.

Do people agree / disagree?

If #bitcoin stays decentralized and secure, it is imposing the first global free market the world has ever seen.

Productivity gains flow to broadly to society in free markets through deflation.

Everyone gets richer every year and competition to provide value increases driving a cycle of unprecedented prosperity.

But, if you are pricing #Bitcoin in USD, you are still in the system of extraction and centralization which must centralize faster through the extraction of the productivity gains that should flow to society in the form of lower prices.

The two systems are incompatible!!

And…It is a confusing topic because we have no reference for what a global free market looks like……so many people will get rug pulled (eventually) by not choosing self custody and running nodes. Instead trusting institutions and a paper derivative of their #bitcoin.

Why: because it will appear they are getting wealthy (in USD) Protecting the decentralization and security by running nodes and being constantly vigilant for new attack vectors will seem like a stretch! For most people pressing the easy button in an ETF or other centralized entity will seem like the right thing to do which ensures faster centralizing.

That centralized system of extraction MUST eventually attack Bitcoin or fail.

This may be a long time out. Ie - if I was on the other side of the fight - I would make my system as easy to integrate to bitcoin as possible and use the natural biases of humans against them. Ease of use, trust in institutions, time, etc so they didn’t “need” to worry about self custody and understanding how the protocol works.

Those on building on #Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning, Ecash and spending their time contributing on this open protocol and teaching others are on the front edge of the greatest change the world has ever seen. From extraction to cooperation.

Stay vigilant, stay focused, run a node, and tune out the madness of the system of extraction trying to drag you back into its centralized structure.

For the opportunity to exist, It had to be this way!

We are so early.

100 sats says you're going to be disappointed by the end of tomorrow.

In a few short hours I'm expecting one of the best birthday gifts I could have asked for when President Trump honors his pledge to commute Ross. I've never had the honor to meet Ross but he has changed my life more than almost anyone else. I couldn't be happier to know that by next weekend he should be home celebrating with his family. Onward and upward!

I'm not asking for much from the incoming #Trump administration other than:

- #FreeRoss

- Abolish the IRS

- Abolish the Federal Reserve

- Abolish taxes on using #bitcoin to purchase goods and services

I bet there is a rural Texas credit union who would be willing to run a fiat ecash mint
