Man, do I ever love authentic people. Just be yourself and you’ll draw in people who genuinely love you.

Not enough if you ask me.

Fair point.

Bitcoin delivers you to your life’s work, it does not free you from it. You must do the work to make your dream a reality. If it was just something you could buy with money, something someone else was selling, then it is someone else’s life’s work. That’s fine for them, and good for you, but it won’t deliver fulfillment like pursuing and doing the work of working on your life’s work.

The price of bitcoin is now a function of institutional interest.

But the survival and advancement of the ideals of Bitcoin will forever remain a function of the radicalized zealots for freedom and self determination.

I don't make the rules - Satoshi did - But I sure as hell am not gonna let some stuffed shirt change them - ever.

A transformation is underway which cannot be stopped.

Erik and I having a conversation about Bitcoin’s impact on us, here for white paper day. nostr:note1m38zkyvcwh6flsx2dfaxjrnctzmgrxlwxkljprd3zvugvyf86wlqjq0ff8

I've written and had published two books, both on Bitcoin, both somewhat original.

The first is the only Bitcoin coffee-table book I know of, "Why Bitcoin," which you can get at https://blurb.com/user/TomerStrolig in either softcover or hardcover. (You can get a free pdf of the book at http://swan.com/whybitcoin, but a pdf doesn't look sharp on your coffee table.) Sorry it's pricey, but it's print on demand on the highest quality paper they offer. I get lots of feedback that this is an excellent book for orange-pilling people because of its short and plainly-worded chapters, making it easy to understand, while addressing many of the key questions people have about Bitcoin, especially in the early chapters.

The second is an illustrated Bitcoin book for kids telliing the story of Bitcoin's creation, called "Satoshi Nakamoto and His Bitcoin Invention." This one is published by Shamory and can be bought at https://shamory.com/product/satoshi-nakamoto-and-his-bitcoin-invention-book-preorder/. A perfect Christmas present for the kids of parents you've tried to orange-pill but now have to move down their bloodliine.

This was a good discussion, if you’re into the serious bitcoin spiritual philosophical shit I like to delve into. nostr:note1u786nhxkr60pmjcg0de46auzy3vgrs40nzkswn9qrd57hepxw9tsvrtymf

I’ve started a Keet.io room where I’m making available a free pdf of my book, Why Bitcoin, and where we can discuss chapters.

So the fake accounts begin on nostr too now.

Tomorrow at 2pm eastern Alex and I are going to be doing Cafe Bitcoin again.

Still trying to get my bearings here. Where are all of Elon’s posts?

Gonna check this out tomorrow.

Alternatives are never exactly the same.

What am I supposed to do with that?

I’m gonna need some more. It’s value dropped again.

I would use this stuff. If images, videos, audio, etc, were all easily uploaded and made into torrents the experience could be decentralized and familiar if the nostr clients accommodated for it.

Nostr is still primitive but it can for sure catch up. Sovereign computing is on the rise. It’ll take time of course. But it will happen.

Thanks. My article shows up on Damus, but not Primal. Is primal not yet Habla-aware?
