Not sure how to do that. For now there is a Nostr link under my Take pic, at least. 
You sometimes hear bitcoiners claim that āX is fiatā, where X can mean some category of food, medicine, art, whatever. Iām usually no fan of such extrapolations of supposed Bitcoin values ā but here Iāll make an exception⦠for the actual X.
Preaching to the choir here, I know.

Exactly one year ago I published The Genesis Book. Today, it's the highest rated Bitcoin book on sites like Amazon and Goodreads.
Really proud of that!
Thank you so much to anyone who bought, read and/or rated it!! ššš

Itās almost a year ago (jan3) I was able to do the first interview about the best bitcoin book written. And I would like to wish nostr:npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 a merry Xmas and happy new year. This was a highlight for me.
Thanks Bert! š«”
Definitely one of the best book interviews I did this year -- possibly the best.
The steelman version of this argument is that German voters wouldn't elect someone with such authoritarian tendencies *again*, because they've learned their lesson.
I don't buy it myself, and it's certainly too much of a risk to take... But at the same time I'd say there's at least _some_ truth to it, and I could kind of see how a reasonable person might come to this conclusion.
The Genesis Book - what an awesome read! nostr:npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5
Thank you!
In return for a loan deal with the IMF, El Salvador had to give up some of its pro-bitcoin policies. It only made the Bitcoin law better.

I donāt think I did.
Governments and institutions buying up large amounts of bitcoin is not without risk, but there is only one thing you can do about that...
Quite possibly this represents the voice of a more populist Democratic party in the coming years.

If you listen to only one podcast this week make sure it's this one.
Bitcoin attracts contrarians.
A bit outdated (unfortunately) but good piece on this topic: https://read.pourteaux.xyz/p/the-dawn-and-twilight-of-the-contrarian
I suspect we havenāt seen any Bitcoin protocol upgrades since 2021, at least in part, because the proponents of proposed soft forks aren't convinced a UASF would be successful.
And if a UASF wouldnāt be successful, maybe the upgrade is not worth doing in the first placeā¦
I've been thinking since 2014 that people would have learned there lesson with altcoins. Instead here we are ten years later, and a literal memecoin created that year in response to the absurdity is getting a government agency named after it.
As the upcoming Trump administration is gearing up to establish a regulatory landscape facilitating full-on anything-goes multicoinery, and with Gary Gensler gone, we could well see the most atrocious scam coins proliferate and soarā before they inevitably implode.
