Bitcoin taught me something I never was, and thought I would never be… Patient!

Parker really doesn’t like Nostr lol

I believe we’re all in, there’s no turning back now.

All win 🫡 nostr:note1a5atehgvcf9my8vt76gsvnq8xzrzm5dgpz3xjq0hcaf5tcdk4k7s2dm07d

Yes I assume maintenance is actually quite difficult!

my backyard will look like this one day.

Nice to see. Personal goal: Orange Pill the world of normies. My contribution, this book:

Bitcoin is about big love.

The biggest of love towards all of humanity and posterity to come.

Supporting it is an implicit statement to all of the world, that even without knowing you, or any identifiable features about you, that you deserve the dignity of a free, fair, open-source money that is controlled by no one, and is open to anyone.

-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Ansel Adams (American, 1902-1984)

Ansel Adams was an iconic American photographer known for his awe-inspiring black-and-white photographs of the American West. Carefully composed and technically precise, the artist’s picturesque images of Yosemite National Park are some of the most iconic works in the history of the medium.

“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space,” he once mused. “I know of no sculpture, painting, or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on rock and forest, and of the thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters.” Born on February 20, 1902 in San Francisco, CA, the artist trained as a concert pianist before turning to photography in 1930.

Along with Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, Adams formed Group f/64 with the goal of elevating photography to a high art at a time when it was only considered a form of documentation.

There is some difference of opinion about how the group was named. Van Dyke recalled that he first suggested the name "US 256", which was then the commonly used Uniform System designation for a very small aperture stop on a camera lens. According to Van Dyke, Adams thought the name would be confusing to the public, and Adams suggested "f/64", which was a corresponding aperture setting in the focal system that was gaining popularity. However, in an interview in 1975 Holder recalled that he and Van Dyke thought up the name during a ferry ride from Oakland to San Francisco. The group originally wrote their name "Group f.64", but as the notation with a slash was replacing that with a dot or period, they soon changed it to "Group f/64".

The term f/64 refers to a small aperture setting on a large format camera, which secures great depth of field, rendering a photograph evenly sharp from foreground to background. Such a small aperture sometimes requires a long exposure and therefore a selection of relatively slow-moving or motionless subject matter, such as landscapes and still life, but in the typically bright California light this is less a factor in the subject matter chosen than the sheer size and clumsiness of the cameras, compared to the smaller cameras increasingly used in action and reportage photography in the 1930s.

The even sharpness corresponds to the ideal of straight photography which the group espoused in response to the pictorialist methods that were still in fashion at the time in California (even though they had long since died away in New York).

A committed environmentalist, he traveled throughout the country to capture the grandeur of natural sites. Adams died on April 22, 1984 in Monterey, CA at the age of 82. Today, the artist’s works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others.

Which app?

You don't, you work to mitigate it, see the report feature? It doesn't go out to any central authority, it goes out to all users, who can tak their own decisions on what content to censor for themselves, and clients should make it easier for users to do it.

On nostr, you can say anything that you want, preserve your privacy to as much extent as you want, ditch any nostr app you don't like for something else without data loss.

All of this and you get paid in fucking Bitcoin just for posting your shitty thoughts.

People who know about this and still on the fence are a bunch of idiots who deserve to get censored and be manipulated by the algorithm.

There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.

Money’s primary purpose has always been to be able to hold the value of the entire society, and not break.

Literally every other thing we associate with money, or feature we wish it would provide, is either meaningless or doesn’t work at all, unless it can achieve the above.

In fact, the variable ability to accomplish the first goal, is exactly what ultimately limits the size of the economic network.

It’s why cowhide only ever work in small, disparate networks. It’s why glass beads failed after the European and African continents were connected. It’s why gold is the only thing that ever became a globally spanning monetary base, because a gold bar lost 500 years ago is the EXACT SAME gold bar today.

Exchanging value doesn’t matter if it isn’t expected to carry it. Payment speeds mean nothing if the cost to undo the payment is trivial. Privacy is of no purpose if there is no trustworthy value to protect.

Before anything else, money is a tool to protect value at a scale that no other good can match. And it’s very possible that Bitcoin is the single greatest system for scaling that capacity. Because the bigger it gets, the BETTER it is at protecting the value stored in it. Rather than diminishing with size, it actually compounds.

Is anyone else like this? My brain has a maximum number of rapid consecutive reposts from the same person before it kicks into “mute this shit” mode. I’m not sure the exact number, but when I have to scroll multiple times just to get past someone’s reposts it approaches that threshold. 😅😂

When I over hear my wife on the phone telling a friend the gold in Fort Knox is gone, I smile and think to myself…..my job here is done.
