Introduced two non-technical people to Bitcoin today with zero prior knowledge or experience. Downloaded WoS to phones, opened apps, received Sats, sent Sats between themselves. Eyes opened.
Yes, the learning curve for Bitcoin sovereign wealth management is steep, but just seeing how easy this transactional Lightning stuff is blows minds.

“Blunders”
Of all the malevolent aliens at work on this planet trying to squash human potential and prevent a galactic break-out, Ursula von der Leyen is one of the most transparent. Every action straight-up Misanthropy. Nuclear “not strategic” for EU:
Yep. At risk of repeating myself,

Test to see if sticking an @ in front of a note ID works, still haven’t figured this out.

From energy to nutrition, Greenpeace will oppose anything that enables human flourishing.
The last time they were a net benefit to the spark of consciousness was when they were saving whales in the seventies. Now even the whales are sacrificed for offshore wind and the larger mission to enfeeble energy and curtail human potential.
It’s fantastic. If those are nuclear cooling towers it represents a better, greener world. Sound money and clean energy, what’s not to like.
Sad to say I’ve been in this country almost two decades and haven’t been far enough North to see more than a faint glow. One day soon.

Obviously I’ve not figured out how to correctly “quote-note” yet. Early days!

I haven’t got to that reference yet, if there is one. But it totally nails the iceberg to which Bitcoin is the life raft.
Terrifying read!
When I’ve finished this one!

Net religiosity is not declining, as oft reported, merely changing form.
Yes. There are only four Star Wars movies, and that’s one of them. Gets better and better on rewatch.
I still think 140-char Twitter was peak Twitter, but that’s likely more to do with developers outnumbering social engineers in those days than the character limit. High signal to noise and little fluff.
I want to take Balaji at face value. Like Elon, some suspect alignment over the past few years but directionally correct more often than not. A laser focus on the CBDC threat is absolutely necessary.
Yup. Get out of the cities. Build community.
If we hit an ATH in short order I’m going to be scrambling to:
a) deal with secure, resilient, redundant key management like a grown up
b) educate loved ones on what this all means, and how to approach things if I should accidentally fall under a money printer
So no, not ready
