I love when Bitcoiners incorporate odd music like this heavy(?) Mongolian band The HU. nostr:npub1nw5vdz8sj89y3h3tp7dunx8rhsm2qzfpf8ujq9m8mfvjsjth0uwqs9n2gn ever hear of them?
This would be a great Bitcoin theme song or NOSTR Primal, Primal Scream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM8dCGIm6yc
Finally we don't have to speculate who Satoshi Nakamoto was, thank you. It was pretty brilliant of him to masquerade out there acting like he was clueless on Bitcoin.
Not sure if the rumor I heard was true but since there are no filters anymore on misinformation I am going to put this out there as fact.
It makes sense that Peter Schiff founded Midvale School.https://m.primal.net/LhjH.webp
Mother-in-law's mother, coming over from Germany (through Ellis Island) smuggled gold coins in the hem of her dress.
Family still has them, may have to convince them to convert to Digital Gold and no seeds to sew except for the 12 in your head.
Totally agree, he's in the crosshairs. I don't think he posts on NOSTR because of the Sat potential. Some slimy FIAT, ass kissing, pocket protector wearing, bespectacled accountant working for the government ready to pounce on if Saylor pays taxes on the pennies.
I have total respect for Saylor, not even for Bitcoin, I have known of him my entire career in the BI space. In fact, if I had the chance, I would ask him one question. If he ever knew Gerald Cohen. Gerry was incredible, my CEO, the only CEO I ever respected in those 35 years I worked in BI. Gerry took the time to listen and talk to me when I came out to NYC to learn his products as a lowly Tech Rep from Minneapolis for his company, Information Builders, Inc.
Gerry was amazing. He made sure we all got the best education, spending tons of money, he didn't care. He asked me how many PC magazines I read a week and told me to order a bunch of them when I got back home. We'd fly to Chicago from Minneapolis for the day for a two hour meeting because Cohen said it mattered. He held HUGE parties for his sales guys and when I worked for him it was the first bonus I ever got. (Up yours Target HQ BTW.)
The point, you are an artist or if you were, do you think Michelangelo was douchebag or Matisse was a fag?
It's okay to support the good guys and I feel Saylor, outside and inside Bitcoin, is a good one, it was my profession, not yours. He was one of the best ones.
Respect for those who 'do', who stick out their necks, who go against the grain, who ruffle feathers, and maybe think Baklava tastes like shit.
Only trying for the PEZ Dispenser, don't need the rest.

Sad to see this gem on Anna Maria Island is gone. Great vacation memories.
Laughter, yeah no, my dad told me early on, "never trust a guy with two first names."
It's applied every time in my life for decades.
How is it possible to even begin to thank Satoshi for his gift to the world?
How would you measure the positive impact of Bitcoin? What metrics? What graphs could you show if you collected all the data points you need with the billions of rows of data ?
It's way more than a God Candle with Godzilla screeching and fire breathing as the NGU.
Bitcoin is a mind blowing, life altering, positive human battery charging , energized gift that helps with people's Physical, mental, and financial well being.
Human Being. On Earth.
p.s. - I didn't say Spiritual on purpose because that is stupid.

"Unprecedented"
Disclaimer: BI Data Guy for 35 years in Corporate America (using a competing product to MSTR) and 27 year Cancer Patient advocate using my basic formula I learned in my profession: Data to Info to Knowledge to Power. (Our world is 'Data Rich, Information Poor') and I AM A HACK.
Begin of my TLDR:
The title is my least favorite overused word, in the world right now. Runner up is "journey."
We are so arrogant as a human species, just like we were 100 years ago when we thought we knew it all.
'Recorded history' is really about 150 years, that is such a small timeframe when the earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Now, with 200 channels and billions online vying for our attention, everything is 'unprecedented.'
The definition is: "Never done or known before."
Really? We used to use 1 in a 100 year storm, but Milton they are now saying 1 in a 1000 years. How did you get to a 1000? That is such a round number.
Yet, here we are, as arrogant as ever, where we think we wield more power than Mother Nature and somehow 'we' are causing all these disasters?
Seriously?
Oddly enough, to see how old the earth is, they use 'carbon dating' and experts say we have been through at least 5 ice ages.
Some say we are in an ice age right now since there is ice on the North and South poles, albeit melting at an 'unprecedented' pace.
Really?
How about when the sun cooled slightly 700 million years ago and Earth was covered in ice, which lasted 57 million years?
How about 7000 years ago there was no ice or glaciers at both poles?
I am no expert on Climate Change, but after working in Corporate America, I have zero confidence we humans could figure it out anyway. Why? Project Managers. There is no one solution to Climate Change, it is about 150,000 solutions with each one needed to be headed up by a human. A human, the same ones who have ruined our lives with wars and financial decay. Each project's outcome, if mismanaged, could do more HARM to our earth. Come on people, think of the faces of the PMs you have worked with at Corporate or the very best leaders you know?
But regardless, I know I am 60 percent water, I live in a dreadful climate (Minneapolis) 6 months out of the year where I know I am solar powered and need to go South for the sun/Vitamin D. I like warm versus cold.
I am stopping here without a dramatic click bait ending, but I just want all you 'experts' out there on both sides to 'consider' you don't have a clue on mostly everything you think you know as fact.
Admit you are a hack like me? Learn everyday. Embrace the chaos.
Not everyone is unprecedented or as big an influencer, maybe we humans as a collective whole are the least influential on what happens to Earth now and in the future?
p.s. Bitcoin is unique and unprecedented
Thanks for the laugh, inadvertently on the CSW part my brain filled in 'PATIENT' so either one fits great.
In researching today's "Electric Money" journal articles I thought this was interesting. Maybe there needs to be a place to not censor articles an publications, anyone?
For instance:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2024&q=Electric+money&hl=en&as_sdt=0,24
But click on it and OOPS Iraq?
"HBOMax's Bitcoin Ratings/Money Grab tonight 9PM EST."
I really hope people stop trying to figure out who Satoshi is or was, his expertise on his Privacy so far is as legendary as his code.
"Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery will be released on HBO on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 9 p.m. ET and Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 1 a.m. UTC. The documentary will be instantly available to stream on HBOMax."
Also, the "Electric Dollar" replacing Gold was from Dr. John Pease Morton in the 'Youngstown Vindicator' on December 27, 1932
Never mind the Ford guy over 100 years ago: (Note the year and "Library of Congress" and the reference to stopping wars)
Satoshi made Ford/Morton's visions of "Money Electric" a reality, ignored then and pretty much now too.
Shocking but never tell a Bitcoiner they were 'lucky' when there is almost 16 years worth of analysis on "Why Bitcoin" out there, millions of hours worth of analysis...for free, no need to buy a subscription to HBO, waste of sats or waste of your electric money.

Great post, and the biggest thing to me:
1) Your savings, your asset, is the bank's LIABILITY
2) Your Loan, your liability, is the bank's ASSET
....Bitcoins is a SAVINGS vehicle
Only two dots to connect here.
The problem I have is many times, MY lips are moving while I am deep in discussion with myself. My wife calls me out and I laugh, when strangers do I simply say, "Do the voices inside my head bother you?"
And they run away...
...and if I openly discuss Bitcoin with anyone, they run away.
So, the moral here, is follow your own path and listen to your thoughts regardless what other people think, say, or feel.
