Into Bitcoin since July 2011. Into Nostr since February 2023. Influenced by the works of Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, Andrew Galambos - and thought-provoking books including: The Sovereign Individual, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World, The Path of Least Resistance, PT - The Perpetual Traveler. Professional drummer in my earlier life, digital nomad in my later life, and jazz lover most my life. We won't achieve meaningful freedom until four key "separations from the state" are done and dusted: Separation of church and state (mostly done), separation of money and state (in progress), separation of communication networks and state (early encouraging signs), separation of education and state (a long way to go).

I think I must have an uncanny sense of timing. It seems I’m able to sense when the market will move - after an extended period of low volatility - but cannot be sure whether it will move up or down.

Example 1: When I sold some bitcoin a few weeks ago to pay tax, the price jumped $2000+ the next day.

Example 2: Yesterday I had the same sense of an imminent market move and needed to ensure I had funds ready for my next tax payment on May 7. Erring on the side of caution (unless the market moved down) I sold bitcoin at $28,250. When I woke up this morning bitcoin was $29,300.

Hopefully, there's a lesson in there for me!

If you're looking for a couple of good series on Netflix, give new arrivals "Thicker Than Water" (French with subtitles) and "Beef" a look. Better than a lot of stuff currently appearing on Netflix.

I checked out those websites and could find no download information for desktop clients. Primal looks as though it's going to add desktop download soon, but nothing from coracle.

I came to Nostr as a long-time Bitcoiner. However, like most other people I also have other and sometimes related interests that I like reading about and commenting on.

So if you're active on Nostr and into any of the following - geopolitics, US empire decline/rise of Global South, climate emergency hoax, gender identity nonsense, failure of politics, democracy hoax, covid boondoggle, not anti-China - then reply here so I can follow you.

I think there is an "objectively correct morality" - treat others as you would have them treat you. Or to put it another way "my life is mine and your life is yours - neither of us have the right to impose anything on each other".

Well, if you take it at face value, it could mean he intends to introduce Doge as a component of Twitter, like bitcoin works with Nostr.

Who else thinks Elon Musk is just trolling with the change from "bird" to "doge" as Twitter's masthead? Or is something else going on?

One thing I love about Nostr is that I can say "Craig Wright is a momentous fraud!" endlessly, without him ever being able to do anything about it.

I prefer light mode. Could be my advanced age and the fact I spent my life reading black text on white paper.

What's with it regards Americans and donuts? (assuming you are American). Donut eating turns up everywhere - movies, netflix, network TV - but I can't think of any reason why I'd want one.
