Wealth based systems are the future. #Bitcoin is the foundation for wealth based financial capital. Critical thinking is required. Bitcoin class of 2017.

Aug 15, 1971 — I have directed Secretary Connally to suspend "temporarily" the convertibility of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets...

Has Brian EVER listened to anything? How long did it take for them to decide to give their customers access to hard fork splits?

Oh well, lessons learned.

However high we climb in this mountain range, there will always be higher peaks to climb. The goal is to keep climbing and helping our fellow climbers reach new heights.

I love Strike. I wish you had gotten the Coinbase contract for their connection to the Lightning Network. Then I wouldn't be waiting three days for a simple send of 1000 sats to my strke wallet.

I use the website isidewith.com to determine how close the candidates match my overall issue positions. Biden matches my positions with 72%, and Trump matches them at 23%.

Yes, Bitcoin is included in his reference to crypto. And that just means he's repeating what his handlers are telling him to say, and showing that he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about unless it can make him a buck. Probably not even then.

Neither candidate at the top of the ticket have any understanding of what they are doing, and I don't trust either of them.

They're combining a LOT of different story lines, and they're going all out. Wow.

One of the greatest roles that Robin Williams ever had was in the movie TOYS (1992).

Period.

Many people in that generation are already using it.

Most of us see that CBDCs are prone to even greater abuse of power. But how do we explain this to normies (once we know devices aren’t within earshot — good luck)?

I usually ask if there is someone in the family or a friend who is a loose cannon or can’t seem to stop getting into trouble. Imagine your access to money you earned being inaccessible because of something they say or do that is not within your control. Just because you are related or have a message from them or your metadata is linked. Now pile on AI digging up the past.

That’s a possible direction this is going. It can further divide humanity at an unimaginable rate — if we allow it. Or we can opt into our own decentralized network as much as possible.

Cryptographers and computer scientists have been warning of this for decades. Privacy is a fundamental human right and CBDCs will allow the exploit of data as a mechanism of control. History rhymes and those with power and control tend to abuse it, causing suffering at scale and stagnating human potential.

We know this but Normies are just getting through work days and enjoying their programming boxes / shopping sprees / nights out on the town. Most of them will likely have to learn through the experience of suffering, which is the most brutal but effective teacher. It is the game of this place. We cannot fix things for others but we can be a beacon when they are ready. In the meantime, we get to experience our inner and outer world of choice.

Buckle up. Because things are moving so quickly in the age of technology that this experiment will play out harder and faster. The weird will escalate until enough wakeup.

To flourish, humans need freedom to create, not monetary enslavement. Stay wild, be courageous, and build the tools. We have already won just by being here now.

Remember that "We're sorry, but your post goes against our community standards so you cannot post for 24 hours." thing from centralized social media?

Now translate that to CBDC: "We're sorry, but your transaction goes against our community standards so you cannot access your money for 24 hours."

There is no other argument needed, IMHO.

Is there a Nostr client designed for minors? There are legal restrictions on financial institutions like nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 that prevent wallets from being opened, so Primal might not be a great option. What alternatives are out there?

Found this write up on "Bitcoin for Startups and Small Businesses" on X, written by Drew D'Agostino.

I was intrigued when he launched, but it's very simple to use isidewith.com and determine the full scope of how each candidate lines up with my personal issue positions. I just wish they had Nostr as a login option.

Coinbase's connection to the lightning network is going well...
