Look forward to it Jake. Hard to find genuine content out there. 🧡

I'm excited to see how bitcoin impacts and shapes our society in the future. We think so many patterns that repeat is a result of human nature. Like its ingrained in us and rigid and inflexible. Bitcoin will allow very old rules that govern society to break. I think this will be positive. Suddenly old patterns won't exist any more. This is a new era where human nature can flourish. Its a very exciting time to be alive! 🧡

Nice work man! 💪

Microstrategy added to NASDAQ just as you predicted. I'm amazed less than 1% of Microsoft shareholders votes to buy Bitcoin. We are so early! Most people still totally unaware of what Bitcoin is.

Fantastic! You must feel so satisfied. Good job! You've changed his life Mike! 🚀

You making me want to approach my family friends again. Maybe I will give it another go, there are people out there wanting this opportunity badly. 💥

I have a Trezor, and I've sent short messages via the op_return feature.

I'm not entirely sure if its ordinal/ runes.

This was the info I found online, and then realised trezor has the op_ return feature and then I was able to send messages.

I believe there is something similar with most other self custody wallets.

Its a brilliant approach to gift SATs to under 18' and they can check the address as price goes up.

I've also learned how to send messages on bitcoin block chain. Most wallets have OP_Return feature, so it becomes an unspent transaction, just costs a fee and can send message on special occasion inscribed on bitcoin blockchain forever. Its one way to create awareness for newbies.

I've on boarded my brother but he won't take the time to learn, so he still perceives it as "making money" and talks about cashing out. Hopefully I can persuade him to hodl, he will regret selling any.

Kaspa is very interesting, I've briefly looked at it, but I haven't bought any. Surely your friend hasn't bought more Kaspa than bitcoin. All the alt coins, narratives behind them can be very persuasive but extremely misleading. No doubt there will be plenty of money made on altcoins this bullrun, but those that don't sell will regret it.

With Bitcoin I can confidently buy and never sell(or atleast hold for multiple decades, most likely longer). The rest, who knows.

I think people that go to alts haven't quite escaped the make more money stage.

I'm fascinated by how Bitcoin could effect and change direction of society. Taking away the money printer changes it all.

On an individual level, Bitcoin is so empowering. Truly life changing.

Its a very good response with lots of information. You covered all the important points.

I wonder whether it's abit too much information in one go? Might be abit overwhelming for newbies.

Consider taking out bits, try to prioritise. Objective is to get your friend to the next step. The temptation to try and teach it all in one go, we've all done it.

Your reply is so well written, and put together, I'm not sure how to reduce / prioritise.

Eventually your friend will needs to learn everything in your response.

You've written a book on Bitcoin, so your a Bitcoin expert and knows what you talking about. If he is really interested he will bite.

Yeah I agree, research more important than showing how to buy. Once they know enough, encourage your friend to buy small amount. Once invested more likely to explore more.

Out of curiosity what is your rough % success rate to orange pill?

My record isn't great 1-2% at most, I really tried orange pill last bull run, the negative responses and lack of enthusiasm was so frustrating. I dont actively talk Bitcoin any more. If someone expresses interest I spring into orange pill mode. But its not very often. Maybe I will try again.

Although this is the time when most people are receptive to listening when price goes up and air time on news, whoever we onboard, we should definitely prepare them for a crash. It always happens. My first bullrun i fell for the hype and thought it would go up forever. But I don't think it should be the first thing we emphasise. If we are surprised by a supercycle well that's a bonus.

Hopefully you will find my feedback helpful.

Give it a few months, the $60 million figure will definitely be wrong again much higher 🤞

Luckily everything is ok here. One of my fences has come down which I will need to sort. But otherwise nothing drastic.

Year before last we had a freak occurrence "micro storm" of sorts in the summer. It was crazy, I've never seen anything like it, seemed to be localised to where I lived (there were no weather reports). Lasted around 1 hours, I thought the trees would come down. And then few hours later sun was out and all was calm. This is a different kind if storm, today seems much better, gust 40mph, yesterday was over 60. seems like we've seen the worst of it. 🤞

The storm yesterday was quite scary, was trying to stay indoors. Stepped outside for a moment to get my bins, they blew into the road.

Hope your power returns soon, glad you have heat, make sure you got plenty of non perishable food.

Try make the most of no electric, you get some peace and quiet no technology. I remember when I had a power cut years ago, it was best sleep I've ever had. Hopefully doesn't last too long. 🤞

Ahh OK, UK coronation, just looked it up, its by a musician called Handel. I don't really listen to Handel.

I started listening to classical around 10 years ago, but I only really like Beethoven and Chopin. You've heard the tunes (everyone has) no one knows the names tho.

Really liked seeing all the Bitcoin statements as it goes through 100k. That will be a nice video upgrade when we hit a million. I suppose it will be the same old statements. People will still use the same excuses even at $1million 🙈

I've noticed some people have alot of problems on nostr. I've been ok so far, sometimes takes time to update refresh. I've only been here 4 or 5 months. Possibly because I don't actively create my own notes, just reply to other peoples notes maybe that's why my experience is different. Plus I don't have lots of followers / follows, so maybe I'm passing under the radar because of this and not targeted.

Tbh I don't completely understand how the whole relay system works/ decentralised etc.

I discovered DM aren't always private either.

I'm just relieved I can express my views without being censored. Generally when people don't like my opinion I notice they just don't respond or engage as much, rather than getting into a full blown argument like fb / x. Ironic, but more freedom feels like result is more respectful. When you'd think it be the opposite.

Extra fat in streaky bacon and crispyness is what sets it apart... its been a while since I've had a proper fry up, craving steak bacon now... 😋

Where are you in US? I'm in UK.

I've heard in US they also loves their slow cooked bbq meats too, it's an art form, famous pitmasters.

Street food culture not really a thing in UK. London is amazing. But outside London it's hard to find.

Bacon is a staple here in UK, always included in famous british breakfast. You get british breakfast all over the UK, but we don't always use streaky bacon, which is not as good imo. 🥓 🥓 🥓

Do you like classical music? Thats a good piece, not sure what it is, sounds famous though. Nice build up to 100k and then explodes at the end right on 100k. 🎆

I love bacon. 😋 And I've had bacon cooked badly. Or with fat trimmed off. Yuk.

So yeah I totally believe you. 💯

Cheap bacon isn't great either 🙉

I'm not a fan of oven / grilled bacon, tends to dry out.

Good quality bacon cooked well, fried in a frying pan, the best. 👌

Yes, I'm exploring iom, I'm looking at it atleast initially because its so close to home, I can visit uk and family friends can visit me.

Ultimately I'm interested in other locations around the world, for weather lifestyle.

Are u on telegram. Come join iom Bitcoin Community telegram group. Its run by coincorner. I'm part of group.

Yeah I noticed dm in nostr isn't always private. When I reply in dm on nostr(Amerhyst) conversation thread it comes up in public feed when you search keywords. So if I ever dm now, I copy paste persons npub and paste into private message, seems to be some what of a work around but not sure how private it is.

Is it secure to input nsec in 0xchat? You've used the same nsec in 0xchat, you've not had any issues compromised security etc.?

You been on it for a year, so thats a pretty good test really.

As long as it has abit of crisp to it, then its perfect. Never tried not flipping 🤔

Judging by the number of responses to this note, Baconology can definitely become a thing. 😋
