The opposite of globalist.

Help: how do you square the circle of family education about Bitcoin and opsec?

I have kids who I feel I really should be furnishing with hardware wallets and some sats as part of their financial education.

Yet, kids have friends. Friends have siblings, family, other friends. Statistically speaking some of these will be Globalist bugmen, headed for a life of petty crime, etc.

Do you accept these risks as necessary or stack privately in trust for when they’re all older and out of the house?

I’ve noticed sats have been few and far between on Fountain this week too.

Just what I wanted to hear - thank you and enjoy the warm kitchen!

Excellent, about to try something similar - ducting attachment etc all “hardware store standard” or did you have to get creative?

One of those voices I wish was on #nostr. I’ve been a huge fan since discovering Mr. Kirn late, courtesy of his 2021 essay on modern media titled simply “The Bullshit” (worth looking up). Spot on, as is often the case.

Solid. Been a fantastic year for uranium.

“The idea of creating a digital pound should not even be considered until the UK government and Bank of England address concerns over data privacy and the increased risk of bank runs, a parliamentary committee has warned”

- could have stopped after the word “considered”

36hr fast to start each month (dinner day one to breakfast day three).

Tradition now holds that the fast-breaking is with homemade pancakes, and this weekend it was just me and the three-year old helper, which is always enjoyable. Nice colours in this one, but others were in the shape of a star, and a dinosaur. #foodstr

This is true. But I do find the gold confiscation chapter in The Mandibles instructive. With a monopoly on violence they can send goons to your door and drag you away on a whim. The number of Bitcoiners who are truly KYC-free across the spectrum (as in no record of any interaction with the network, ever) is vanishingly small. Best outcome is if you never have to test your boating accident story.

Indeed, fiat is so effective at capping human potential that if an alien species were intent on preventing us from breaking out they couldn’t have envisaged a better mind virus (and goodness knows there are some strong contenders this past century).

Raw cow’s milk is illegal up here, buying eggs and meat from source pretty straightforward but milk.. not so much.

I hope Wallet of Satoshi’s swift exit from the US market is unrelated to the DOJ opening Binance’s books. Could be a raft of take-downs and extortions coming. Scorched earth for Blackrock.

Another day, another 30% hike in the cost of a streaming service. Hi, Apple TV+.

Personally not too much (only really drink it in tea, about four cups a day) but we have two kids so at least sixteen litres / 4 gallons a month from Costco.

The melting snowflake pattern in these raptor shutdowns is mesmerizing.
