I’m more cautious on posting the real things I’m wrestling with in bitcoin here - particular cultural, social layer, and politics—bc I know this creates friction and is what many left twitter for to find an oasis here in nostr. More casual, fun space if you will
Folks, wanting some input for the article I’m writing:
- if you had to summarize the “culture” of bitcoin the community, politically, what would it be
- Wherever you are in the world, is bitcoin a partisan issue and why (in your opinion)
- what is the biggest risk to widespread adoption, in terms of bitcoin’s social layer? Does the social layer (politics, culture, perception) matter to you, and why?
Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
I’ve had a couple of greenpeace staff follow and interact with me on Twitter…it’s very cool actually!

Amazing, I’m checking this out
Since my wife knows I read every morning, she sent me this. She’s the funniest person I know and the best 😂
Pics please sir
Just updated…can I get a ⚡️ test 😏
This one is pretty good so far. Wife and I binged it the other night 😂
My writing process:
Sit for 3 months and argue with myself about how every opinion/idea can be refuted
tease out some ideals on social
Get pen to paper. Pass to trusted individuals for review/feedback (and wife for editing/spellcheck 😉)
I’m on step 3 currently! ✍️

I’m sitting in my Salem home, built in 1840, reading the House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne which was published in 1851. Feeling connected to scenes he displays, and age old questions he asked, is a special thing. In today’s time, I was struck by this passage:
“Old Matthew Mail, in a word, was executed for the crime of witchcraft. He was one of the martyrs to that terrible decision, which should teach us, among its other morals, that the influential class, and those who take upon themselves to be leaders of the people, are fully liable to all the passionate error that has ever characterized the maddest mob. Clergymen, judges, statesmen,—the wisest, calmest, holiest persons of entire day.—stood in the inner circle round about the gallows, loudest to applaud the work of blood, latest to confess themselves miserably deceived.”
Who today would follow under this influential class he speaks of? Truth in literature has no expiration date.
Good morning! :)
