Ironic her name was President Coin.

Seems those guys are stumping for Trump...hard.

Bitcoin is apolitical.

The services they've brought to Bitcoin are KYC, chain analysis copouts with cult like followings from bitcoiners that don't know any better.

Bitcoin is meant to be a peer to peer electronic cash system. None of that means bend the knee.

They are helping lead the way for onboarding into Bitcoin, but funneling users into state monitoring tools, more of the same bad actors from the fiat rails.

And That, My Friends, Is How A Revolution Dies

Practiced my timber framing joinery skills on a much needed mudroom shelf for the farm boots. It's super fun and very rewarding to see the end result knowing how much work went into this project, despite the many cosmetic flaws and imperfections.

I cut the cedar trees ~2 years ago, milled them here on the farm, stacked them to dry last summer, designed the shelf and joinery, and did most of the work with hands tools.

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."

This is what makes nostr and bitcoiners different. I haven't had a "social media" account anywhere in over a decade before nostr. I'm not here for the follower count, monetization, zaps, or otherwise. I want signal. I want to engage with that signal. Unique, original, personal, your souls individual tone.

Elevate the feed that your notes contribute towards.

Raise the average.

YESSS!

I didn't catch this the first time, but seeing you and Bugle above Odell is fucking fantastic.

#asknostr

Are there any nostr fueled marketplaces? Someplace I can list cattle breeding stock for sale to other bitcoiners building citadels would be great.

And just to be clear you carnivores, not meat sales. Support your local farmer, orange pill them, circulate your coin locally, stop shipping meat.

LoL I don't have fencing that would keep goats contained... But then again, I don't think anyone would.

Goats get a lot of attention, but I rarely ever meet anyone that eats goat meat. It would be a bugger to market in my area I'm afraid. Between that and dying easily I don't see why they get all the attention. Goats need more woody browse, not pasture, to be done properly.

I have a family member with a door that would look similar to this. It was installed with the plan to build a deck in the future.

I couldn't find the post to reply to it, but wanted to mention we've had good success with organic practices, but both members of our cartel practice frequent moving to, which I think you employ longer stays.

Redmond's salt with infused garlic is a favorite of all of our livestock.

We've used Garlic Barrier (only the large bottle is concentrated) as a spot treatment for stock with issues.

We've fed copper sulfate straight free choice (small quantities). Alternative to this is mix Fertrells Grazing Choice with copper into your rotation.

The other member also drenches with organic ACV.

Not sure what you mean sheep vs lambs? Breeding ewes vs just buying in lambs? That's individual context based.

As far as feeding going it's all grass (or hay) all the time with us. Bigger animals just need more of it. Plan about 3% dry matter per head per day. 4%+ for cushion and adding to soil fertility with bale grazing.

The second year of the #BitcoinLambCartel has entered phase 2: grow out. 13 rams have been removed from their mothers to prevent accidental, out of season breeding.

Ram lambs have moved from the lambing farm to our place where they will grow out for meat sales to local bitcoiners and breeding stock sales to other sheep farmers.

The "Bitcoin Lamb Cartel" as it's been coined locally was born out of a Bitcoin meetup a few years ago, where another Bitcoin regenerative farmer and my wife got to talking. As markets turned down we decided to sell our sheep flock and enter into partnership to raise and market lambs, while on our farm we also started the transition to raising cattle--something we always got requests to do from customers, especially local bitcoiners.

Our practices are all grass fed, from birth to butcher. This partnership provides flexibility as to when lambs get butchered. Some customers prefer smaller lambs, so before winter hits we generally hit 70-80 pounds live weight. For those looking for a more meaty carcass we overwinter the lambs with our cattle and feed winter stockpile and hay as needed and then butcher after the spring flush in late June for a much larger carcass of 130+ live weight. We haven't pushed to a second fall yet for even heavier weights, but maybe we'll do some experimenting with this group?

Imagine reading this post and watching the video and still thinking "I need to get my meat shipped to me."

SMH. Bitcoin is about supporting local and creating circular economies, not farming out your health to some distant farmer you'll never be able to "trust, but verify" yourself.

First 45 minutes is a must watch if you're a homo sapien on planet Earth in 2024. This is one of the simplest explanations of these complex catastrophic events you'll ever find.

The advancements in the ag sector are butting up against physical limitations of productivity per unit of sunlight. Monoculture grain production has been essentially maxed out for decades planting "fence row to fence row" since the Earl Butz days of the USDA. Most improvements have actually been in the realm of labor efficiency, which further kills rural communities already destroyed by big ag policies. These costs have transitioned from being labor costs to technological and machinery expenses.

We quit pushing for fiat sales this year and have prioritized our Bitcoin friends. Most income received is paid in Bitcoin now.

Connect in with local meetups and take products to sell. Meetups should absolutely have a merchant exchange component, selling or bartering goods "trunk-to-trunk."

What people don't seem to understand is how long inflation takes to ripple through the agricultural industry.

Conventional food production is energy intensive. Fuel prices contribute to fertilizer prices which contribute to grain prices which impact conventional meat prices. Add in the fact many producers try to secure input prices a year ahead of time, further kicking inflation down the road.

High quality grass fed producers have greater resilience to these pressures as the price of hay is likely the biggest impact, which is readily planned for during "good hay making years." (Another example of delaying inflation in agriculture.)

Inflation hits the lowest quality food production the hardest because they're already in competition to be the cheapest producer. As a result, fast food is a great gauge on real inflation rates.

I haven't even touched on the impacts that the drought can and is having on agricultural prices. Cattle markets are at all time highs. As parts of the country come out of drought demand is increasing for female livestock to start recovering from selling off during the drought years (national cattle numbers are fairly low). Coupled with stronger demand for beef the cattle market is expected to experience a super cycle.

It isn't unreasonable to be securing beef for your family now for the next 1-2 years from your LOCAL Bitcoin farmer/rancher. And if you don't have one, orange pill one. Regenerative ag and Bitcoin were made for each other.

Rehypothecation isn't just a gold and bank vault issue. It's happening in cattle markets too. Get eyes on your beef while it's on the hoof.

I don't watch sports much anymore, but I couldn't help but notice how many of the "summer Olympic" sports are being played indoors these days.

It has a feeling of "good times create weak men."

Ancient Olympians were likely vastly more athletic than our modern variations who train to excel at one very specific thing in one very specific way with extreme detail given to minute body positions and postures.
