It is so hard to get people to understand this.
“What, can’t I just Venmo you?” 🥴
Why wouldn’t you want the government out of your financial activity? Most people don’t even know all their Venmo transactions are public.

Funny to feel those days with an extra idgaf attitude. It feels like a cigar and cooking outdoors kind of day.
Another cool mining project I’ll be checking out. Thanks!

In my opinion, what you need to know to feel good about bitcoin, is about as much as you NEED to know about how your car starts up in the morning when you need it to…

I love the passion and personal touches that go into good applications.

Giveaway 1,000 sats for the next 20 reposts, 500 for the next 15!
I'm doing a Zapvertising experiment to promote my bitcoin novel „Walking Banks“ / https://www.walkingbanks.com on Nostr and test if one can broaden an audience this way .
In addition to the Zapvertisment Zaps you can unlock 800000 sats:
If your up for a treasure hunt, the book contains a real Bitcoin seed phrase hidden within the story. So if you can piece the right string of words together, it leads to a wallet with 800000 sats in it. No funny business, all real. The first one to figure it out gets the bitcoin.
The book is out as on audiobook, e-book and print on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Banks-Mystery-Novel-White/dp/B0DCNZLV6H) so go and check it out.
Also, if you're using Nostr you can listen to the audiobook for free on Fountain (fountain.fm/album/JYWZOPSrol8fvWpjNt8q) or search for „Walking Banks“ in the music section.
Otherwise the audiobook is also available now on Spotify, Apple Books, Google play, Kobo, and pretty much everywhere else too.

When my “friends” tell me bitcoin isn’t real.
https://blossom.primal.net/cee0414bc3d73932eec60eab9d74d6d1369715c555ef0e2496b9d3952bb6280c.mp4
In my mind, it should work like this, and #nostr probably already knows this, but;
My phone should be MINE, and everything I do with it or any information I give it should be cryptographically signed and still be tied to my private keys. I’m so tired of separate apps and subscription fees.
Any messaging platform anywhere should be able to accept my identity, encrypt it accordingly, and share with anyone else on any other interface for reading signed notes. That should include files, messages, full res images and full length video, gaming identities, NFT or signed art, audio and more.
Cloud storage, same thing. My files can be signed and encrypted to my ID, and theoretically stored on any data server (Amazon, google, apple, whatever)
Is this a crazy radical concept? I’m fine with network and transaction fees, and buying devices and app permissions outright. Sure, it would drastically alter the current private company profit model, but is this a radical idea? How would the economics work out? What devices and apps are already doing this besides Nostr and maybe mastodon 🙄. Help me help that ecosystem be the norm.
In regards to sharing files, messages, photos, videos…
There HAS to be a unified protocol for all of this. It has gotten so convoluted, and everything is stuck behind proprietary apps, messaging protocols, cloud storage in either Dropbox, iCloud, google, or whatever else and they can’t be shared with out separate accounts for each.
When the day comes that I fully own my device, that I can use it in a permisionless way separate from these manufacturers’ walled gardens, will be the day we succeed in this tech evolution.

Odds were looking good there for a while. Still hopeful, and if no block, it was still worthwhile, and I will be back in buying hashrate soon.
⚡️🧬 NEW - Gill Verdon says the next frontier is viewing our biology as Software 2.0.
Genes are parameters. Peptides are prompts. Biology is a substrate, and it could evolve as fast as silicon, if we let it.
"In his view, acceleration isn't optional -- it’s survival."

We absolutely need to hack and update our biological interface, it’s outdated, and struggling to adapt to the increasing need for complex process organization.
In my opinion, This is either a technological process - adding external tech to the body, or a consciousness one - depending more on our access to deeper layers of the brain and nervous system. I am rooting for the latter, with perhaps a little help and inspiration from the “silicon” world.
