Only carbs I get are from a tall glass of raw milk a day + the raw butter i put on my steaks.

What advice do you have regarding UTXOs?

If you're near Chicago and are not coming to BitDevs tonight, I don't even know what you're doing with your life

What genre would you consider her music?

I understand where you're coming from and thanks for sharing 🙏

I'm not asking about people who simply have Bitcoin, but anyone who has self-proclaimed "gone down the Bitcoin rabbit hole".

What percentage of Bitcoiners today have gone down the 'What is Anarchy' tunnel of the larger 'What is Bitcoin' rabbit hole?

nah

When I was younger my mom told me I should check out Lucinda Williams because I liked Nirvana. I gave her a listen and immediately dismissed the suggestion.

Nowadays Lucinda graces my playlist far more often than Nirvana. Sorry, Mom. You were just 20 years too early. 😛

I have had some fun fantasy novel talks with bitcoiners recently.

I figured I would jot down some thoughts from my limited readings...

First series that got me into Fantasy:

The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist. Magician Apprentice/Master was assigned to me as a high schooler. This story of unassuming Pug and his friend Tomas hit me right at the perfect time. Their adventures meeting wizards, dwarfs, elves, and dragons hooked me into this genre of books, and I owe Ms. L a big thank you for the introduction.

Favorite world building:

A Song of Ice and Fire. Might be cliché but I don’t think anyone has done quite the job George RR has done building the history and lore that he has constructed in Westeros. Somehow this story lead me to dive headfirst into a history of a world that did not exist. Kudos to you George.

Favorite character writing:

First Law Trilogy + 3 follow up “stand alone” novels. Joseph Abercrombie has written some of the most memorable characters I’ve ever read all in one story. Logan Ninefingers, Sand Dan Glokta, Bayaz, Whirrun of Bligh, Bremer dan Gorst, & Nicomo Cosca are all some of the most memorable characters I’ve come across. There are some badass characters. There are some honorable characters and some conniving bastards. There are even have some pretty hilarious characters.

Most prolific writer: Brandon Sanderson.

He was able to complete Wheel of Time (have not read), and seems to have the ability to knock out monster novels yearly. His favorite series of mine is The Stormlight Archive. Book one "The Way of Kings" cover art is the source of my avatar. This story has a very interesting world, class structure, and magic system, as well as some great POV characters. Look forward to continue seeing where this series goes.

Favorite easy read:

Riyria Revelations & Riyria Chronicles by Michael J Sullivan. Straightforward stories that always tell a fun story. Hadrian & Royce are a great tag team.

Favorite stand alone book:

The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay. This book reads more like historical fiction than fantasy. It tells the story of great men, and how they battle things like relationships, religion, and duty. As you read, you are reminded that life is complicated, war is horrible, good people can do terrible things, and as new men rise up others must fall. Amazing book.

(Shoutout to Legend - David Gemmell & Watership Down - Richard Adams)

Series yet to read:

Most of Discworld

I'd love to hear any additional thoughts or recommendations. PV.

Lol 💯 The funny thing is my posts about bitcoin have been just been a normal part of my discourse on here. Sometimes it comes up and sometimes it doesn’t. Until all this BS nonsense about “de-bitcoining” things to make it more “welcoming.” Freedom money on a freedom communication protocol isn’t something to be ashamed of. We need to continue demonstrating just how powerful this combination of technologies can be! People can discuss what they want, but this is like nothing the world has ever had before. Acting like it’s merely a place to discuss your favorite recipes and nothing else is missing the bigger picture.

Trolling here, Glad to see other Sanderson fans on here. I finished Wheels of Time awhile back. The last book was worth every bit of the investment.

Pro-tip when discussing Bitcoin with normies;

-> Always reframe with a point they can trace all the way back to their own experiences.
