Circular, private economy. Let's take things back into our hands, and let's get rid of the leeches.

Awesome.

Is anyone looking into a multimint wallet where the user picks its mints and then afterwards the fact that there are different mints is hidden?

Después de un mes intentando solicitar el carnet internacional a la DGT por todos los canales disponibles y siendo incapaz por problemas técnicos y la falta de citas crónica, me rindo. Conduciré por el mundo con una mano delante y otra detrás.

La administración se cae a trozos.

Gracias por compartirlo. Procuramos tener actualizados los comercios de Barcelona en btcmap. Este bar no esta alli todavia porque esta quedada sera su bautizo de fuego. Si todo va bien, lo añadiremos a btcmap para que los bitcoiners que busquen alli lo puedan encontrar.

Es un placer gastar un domingo en cosas productivas mientras la sociedad enloquece con el reality show de las elecciones municipales.

Veo información sobre ello por el rabillo del ojo cuando la gente enciende televisiones y lee periódicos a mi alrededor, y no puedo evitar pensar que, desde una cierta distancia, cuesta distinguir todo este espectáculo de Humor Amarillo o La Liga.

Debemos construir la economía privada al margen y dar ejemplo. Quizás así logremos ir sacando a ovejas del cercado.

Y si no lo conseguimos, al menos habremos disfrutado de hacer lo que teníamos que hacer.

Last week I was giving a workshop on using Bluewallet onchain to nocoiners and I showed them tanglesheep.com during the break just for fun.

They left the workshop knowing how to use Bluewallet onchain... and a thousand questions on lightning.

While I don't disagree with the explained points, I find it surprising in a bad way that airgapping is not discussed.

I get happy thinking how excited he would be with Bitcoin if he was still around.

It would also be fun to see him bashing shitcoiners.

Witnessing such displays of long time preference fills my heart with joy.

The other day I talked with some young entrepreneur whose business plan assumes no benefits during the first 5 years. Not in the VC, get the money and run way. He's self funded and simply going for something that will take time to cook, and he's happy to take the risk and wait for it.

It makes me optimistic. And the contrast makes me appreciate how stupid and short sighted is the big corporate obsession with quick results and hitting quarterly numbers always in green.

I guess when we are talking to less knowledgeable people, it's fine to talk about "the" mempool as if there was only one.

But between those of us who have dug a bit deeper, I think it's best to always keep in mind the lack of single point of truth in what respects to unconfirmed transactions.

Wait whaaaaat, you are the guy from the Early Retirement blog?!?!

This is the biggest crossover ever. I've followed your blog for years. And also your content as Carl B Menger.

Congrats on your DCA. It's a great story. I show it to noobies regularly to give them something to aspire to.

Every actions will generate a reaction with equal intensity in the opposite direction.

The harder they regulate and destroy the economy, the more people and companies will start taking steps towards operating outside of the state's walled garden.

After all, it makes sense. Once tax costs are high enough in your business' P&L, evading tax and regulation becomes worth the risk. Bitcoin native companies that operate under the anarchist mindset will be more competitive that the fiat-slaved ones cost wise.

The issue is that, the harder the enforcement and violenece of the state, the higher is the risk of operating in such manner.

These things fill my heart with joy. I can't wait for this kind of events to happen at an exponentially increasing rate.

Make sure to share the guy's details with the local bitcoin community so he can get plenty of Bitcoin paid gigs.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Wielding a tool like Bitcoin without knowledge is like giving a shotgun to a monkey.

Happens all the time in economics as well. Many theories sound great and reasonable by leaving out the shady bits.

Bastiat presented this idea beautifully: https://mises.org/library/which-seen-and-which-not-seen

Middlemen are not a problem. As you point out, they aggregate information and improve markets by removing friction.

The problem are oligarchic, greedy, evil and imposed-through-violence middlemen.

We must build systems that allow removing middlemen so that we can send these type to hell.

Honest and value adding middlemen will continue to exist and to make markets better.

The amount of resources and human time that gets wasted in sensless and suboptimal public infrastructure makes me want to jump a cliff some days.

I'm talking about stuff like this: https://www.elespanol.com/espana/20160211/101490191_0.amp.html

Regulations and fiat money are like a wire connected to every interaction you have with others. This wire spies and constraints you and the people you interact with.

Pay for your groceries? That's wired. Go to the hospital? That's wired. Buy a car? That's wired. Send your son to school? That's wired.

As long as you play in their field, you are wired. You can choose the game you play, but you can't change its rules.

So if you want to get unwired and be free, you need to drop fiat money and you need to ignore regulations.
