I have a couple of old crypto wallets and you want to know how spoiled we are with SATs. I had to buy ETH with USD just to swap my tokens into ETH. They couldn't just take the gas fee out of the ETH I was getting?

Then one wallet I have to buy 3 million Shiba to reach a minimum sell amount to swap it with ETH but not before I buy more ETH for gas money.

I could transfer the Shiba to the first wallet. But it's probably going to cost $30 in gas between everything.

Maybe this is why crypto sucks.

I wrote about black birds on here and a few minutes later, my dad started showing me how he feeds the black crows peanuts in the backyard. Life is silly.

Gm or good night I don’t know.

Flight time is 4:20 though

Let’s play a game. There are 8 bags of groceries. How much does it cost?

Closest person who doesn’t go over ashen I check back later gets 2100 sats 👇🏻

(Note: there is nothing with seed oils in these bags, all real food)

Regardless of intention, am I the only one that feels the US Government does more harm than good?

Today I visited a school for mentally challenged and disabled kids that didn’t have a lick of AC.

Classrooms do have ceiling fans but they do sweet fuck all when it gets to a certain temperature.

It was 35 degrees + humid today but felt like 42.

That’s like when you open the oven door to check on your chicken.. every time you step outside.

Why was I there?

Well bitcoiners at btccuracao funded the school’s brand new WiFi.

I wanted to see the impact of this donation and speak to a poorer community about their experience with btc.

Btccuraco paid the internet company that installed the WiFi in Sats as part of the donation. It’s one of many grassroots initiatives they undertake to try to show that bitcoin is better money.

The new WiFi is a total game changer for the school and the teachers were tearful explaining how much it has helped them teach, inspire and lead these less fortunate kids.

But it only goes so far.

The solar panels atop the school’s long roof “stopped working” this week.

A govt contractor installed the panels this year as a “go green” initiative.

Long story of govt enraging incompetence short, basically half the school had working WiFi + ceiling fans. Sometimes the electricity simply cuts out.

So one half of the school had classrooms of engaged kids with YouTube access + useful visual aids for the kids in a semi manageable heat

while the other half slowly cooked and tried to read books in the inferno.

My white shirt was wet and transparent by the time I finished the school tour. I was like how the feck are these kids gonna get a chance in life?

I interviewed the head of ICT who was gushing about the new WiFi and was saying how some of the kids can now learn to code with this Minecraft coding thing.

She had the biggest heart. But like many islanders she had been crypto scammed a few years ago and was still really reluctant about bitcoin.

Really saddening because of course no sane person thinks “oh yeah I’m gonna learn about bitcoin now I sold my gold necklace for a crypto thing 5 years ago and never got the money back.”

I managed to send her some sats to say thank you but if I’m honest I think it’s coz I was recording this during the interview.

In all, I left the school utterly humbled and a little bit angry at the world.

I don’t have a nice thing to round off on, sorry.

Bitcoin doesn’t fix everything. And some things utterly suck.

A few snaps from the talk I gave yesterday during this country’s tech week.

I got the whole room to download a LN wallet and encouraged the two brave volunteers (second pic) to work out how to zap each other.

It’s especially nice giving talks to a room full of people with (mostly) hair longer than mine!

Massive thanks to Peter K for giving me this opportunity 💜

Christians,

Help me out here.

How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ?

In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he exists to me more as a vague concept.

Any advice?

Good Morning, Nostr or slavery.

Crazy weekend but a common theme

- RFK Jr gives historic speech on censorship

- Telegram Founder arrested for not censoring his platform

- Simply Bitcoin censored and de-platformed on YouTube

It’s becoming clear that Nostr is the only way…
