what a great gem of a clip!

short works! What about the draft article? It publshed successfully - how does it get picked up by the relay - which apps detects? So far primal and habla are not seeing it.,

Empowered to feel like a human-being again!

The space-time problem learning about Bitcoin:

HOT STOVE: Action → immediate consequence → learning (WORKS)

BITCOIN:

Action → consequence years/decades later → learning (BROKEN)

Action → consequence across global network → learning (BROKEN)

Does this work? Using the nostr-obsidian write plugin - so far the draft publish does not seem to work. Testing the short note.

I whole heartly agree that a even greater compression will eventual be relaized - but not in 2026 maybe 2029 the earliest.

The amount of blood that will need to be shed for Bitcoin price to exceed Gold/Silver is most likely a thought a few can stomach. I expect European based Bitcoiners will see this long before American style Libertarian's do.

I expect the opposite in 2026. Gold and silver will manifest their destiny in a new monetary order that thinks it can exlcude Bitcoin. BItcoin-maxi's will be in disbelief about the prehistoric relic gold price performance. Envy will the the test of 2026.

Bitcoin can be expected to track even more tightely with mag-7 and it will be further engrained by trad-fi MONEY experts - that Bitcoins "STORE OF VALUE" narrative is dead and the the death of the 4 year cycle will only be the mother of all bubble pops -- seems strange that Wall ST vets in their 50 and 60's are so positive that Bitcoin will be trading at the $10 k level.

Of course it won't be.. but the narrative is going to be bitch to handle. I am jsut happy to DCA and no rush for the Samson's moon candle to manifest - it is a certainty, I just do not know if it will be in my lifetime.

'Parasitic" relationships never end well for either party.

There is something profound in common American "rule of thumb" wisdom. For example...

1. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

2. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Simple and effect. The roots of these easy to grasp phrases are found in St Thomas Aquinas words - paraphrased as ‘the slenderest knowledge that may be obtained of the highest things is more desirable than the most certain knowledge obtained of lesser things’.

‘Slender’ knowledge is here put in opposition to ‘certain’

knowledge. And what is this notion of "highest thing"?

Who determines what higher things are? I am pretty sure most readers here will agree "self-custody" is a higher thing than custodial.

Are there more Bitcoin distinctions?

So true - the networks strength! Unfortuantely, the "personal construction" concept can be easily misunderstood as relativism - it's also a double edge sword.

My dad often listen to a song from the 50's or 60's - Nat King Cole vibes and more Cole Porter touch. The one I remeber the most "Love for Sale" by Dexter Gordon.... the opening " "...this next song is about....

... Old love, new love, every love but TRUE love" then the music 🎶 🎷 🎹

I was luck, dad knew better than to lecture about such things. I am sure he would have been a master orange piller.

Not wrong, but shit - feel compelled to say it... but this sounds like the pattern of many young men with Daddy issues? It plagues many, but not all. I was lucky - my Dad was an older father. I do wonder if this is the pattern?

Rule of 3 says, 1/3 say oh yes... next 1/3 says what you talking about? and the last 1/3 says I wish I had a father.

Augustine, in his classic Confessions - of which I confess have read onloy parts - but relay on my weak understanding - portrays faith not as blind irrationality but as a necessary step beyond reason's boundaries.

I often think back to and read St Augustine when I start to ponder the mysteries of Bitcoin's existence.

My favorite holiday card this season had this quote:

"The presents at the table are always better than the ones under the tree"

For some reason this really moved me in an unexpected and surprising emotional way. I wishing all the best this merry season 🎄 Merry Christmas.

But can Bitcoin go further than classic definitions such as, but not limited to:

1. Payment network or store of value

2. Monetary network

What if...

... this self-organizing system It's not just a mind observing reality. It creates the reality it observes?

I think this is a great example of fiat-education re-purposed. A good thing.

Does anybody else see the problem of methods used in Bitcoin Education?

Every 3 years I come back to look for a method of teaching that reflects the so called autopetic - self-producting - nature of Bitcoin.

I do NOT see it. I need help to find it if it is out there.

Every bitcoiner knows about fiat-food and fiat-health.

So why not rebel agains fiat-education?

The "orange pill" is not a transfer event—it's a birth event.

Do you know the difference? Would you agree with the statement "Saylor and his MSTR quest for ONE MILLION BTC is a bitcoin-proxy disaster waiting to happen?"

I think about this alot. I final wrote about it in a field note: you can't copy a process.

UPDATE: BTC Rekt-Custody ratio (RCR) step 1 of 4 completed.

I am not just writing about knowledge and understanding - but build tools for orange pilling my normi-family.

One by one. The tool keeps evolving - once it was a notebook, then one spreadsheet, then 12 spreadsheets... now it is a MVP flask-docker app with PgADMIN.

I just posted the Vision Doc for anybody - Coders and the like - interested to collaborate on orang-pill design.

Here is a the sample screenshot... when degens trie to release their hard-cold-wallet storage BTC for shitcoins...

Create a MODERN btc-centric Portfolio Tool:

Do you remember the first time trying to recreate a favorite recipe—maybe Grandma's pie, or mom's cookies?

You probably watched them make it a hundred times.

It never comes out the same. Sound familiar?

We all have some version of this happening—yet we often fail to see the connection between this phenomenon and our understanding of learning.

There's a technical term for it: Tacit Knowledge.

I call it hidden-in-plain-sight knowledge—the heart of the learning-puzzle. As bitcoin educators - you probable have that "magic touch" - that thing basketball coaches call "court sense".

I also think it has a big role in understanding the orange-pill problem when you are the only Bitcoiner at a family dinner table.

I wrote a few words about this in my latest article/field-note:

https://primal.net/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzphnw7gaw5q2dpxqmzhm7al5pky5hmfvcy07urp2czqyh78s4y0c5qq3xv6t9d3jz6mn0w3jj67t0w5kkxctwwskkxmms0ykkzttswfhkxetnwvykun39

I would challenge that slogan - it is a partial truth.

True but not truthful.

What about August 16, 2013 - Bitcoin Core version 0.8.0 ? How do you square that with the "no transaction has EVER been blocked" ? (cap-case - emphasis by me) And yes 99.9999% is a gold-standard.

I am specifically, criticizing that using "the protocol level" qualifier is more an "ideology wish". It completely ignores the background and the factual tangential risks of blacklists and all that censorship agenda by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) that ultimately can only agitate Bitcoin network resilience.

When I read your post my immediately though was shit - "who gives a f#ck about protocol, when building privacy tools land you in jail."

sorry - disagree big time - and clearly enough people do appreciate the viability of the WHOLE network - the ultimate expression of people-to-people inguenuity.
