Tomorrow is a travel day, returning to our Vietnam home 🇻🇳

See you all again soon 🫂🙌💜⚡️🧡

A group of greedy bastards that unite under one purpose, and that purpose is to control every aspect of #Bitcoin, and if it's not with their approval (since they will take a share-cut of what you're doing), you're not welcomed and will not let you compete.

I was hoping that the art scene in Japan would be as highly developed as the music scene there, but I haven’t seen anything like that yet.

I'm about to start reading this book and I'm hooked on page 4... 😍

"Education is what people do to you. Learning is what you do for yourself." - Joi Ito

This is why we are #worldschooling #unschooling #selfledlearning

I actually don't like the word 'school' so much these days. Our children choose what to learn, when they learn, and it's probably going to involve a device at this point in time. 🤷‍♀️

I surrender as a parent and TRUST that my children are capable of discovering what lights them up and following those clues 💯

I can't say it's easy to do this as a parent. I was deeply conditioned to believe I need to have a qualification to be good at anything. It can be hard to let go. But it is an amazing journey to watch unfold. If you're a parent and deeply know that the traditional education system isn't for you or your child, definitely start prepping yourself and BELIEVE you can provide better learning opportunities than the system provides. Believe it, because it is the truth. 💯

I want social media + video to take 90% less of my time than it has the last few years. Has anyone here tried the 30 Day Digital Declutter as described by Cal Newport in his book Digital Minimalism?

Audience choice: send me down a three day weekend rabbit hole.

28 May 2015

Back then I was the crazy mum telling everyone we would sell everything to travel the world. I had no idea how we'd fund it or make it last. I was a mum with a big crazy dream & an insane amount of commitment to that dream. Back then, I couldn't afford a lot of international travel, we did go between NZ and Australia a fair bit though 💛

I *thought* we couldn't afford to travel the world yet. So I took my kids to places like Vivid Sydney, trips up and down the NSW coast, even road trips to Queensland. I wanted my children to see the world. 🌏

When I began this crazy dream, I thought maybe one or two years and my husband would have had enough. And here we are. I've lived abroad since 2011, we were expats in Australia.

Now here we are, it's 2023 and we've been able to travel for over three years. We are giving our now four children an education unlike anything available in the system 🤩

Is it always easy? No. Is it worth it. 💯

If you've got big, crazy dreams:

Make

Them

Happen ✨

You deserve to live your wildest dreams 🦋

I deleted the Twitter app off my phone because it was too distracting.

bitcoin has an ethical system. that system is what allows it to survive.

A bitcoiner takes the slur you hurl at him and wears it like armor.

“uneducated pleb”

“mountain man”

“psychopath”

“maximalist”

“sewer rat”

I’m only several months new to this so take with a grain of salt. I do think his book is a really interesting contribution. However, if bitcoin is not a monetary network first (ie it’s a security network) then miners don’t have incentive to mine bc individuals won’t have incentive to hold bitcoin bc it’s not money. This is the problem with his theory as it doesn’t seem like bitcoin network will work if it’s not first a monetary network (that people and miners find beneficial) and then secondarily a security network. I assume all of these can coexist but it seems like you really need to incentivize people the most if you can take advantage of secondary benefits.

I think he's onto something. Once you the power projection he talks about you can't unsee it. I agree with him that a fence is a projection of power, and found it frustrating you couldn't see it. I also agree with him defence and offence is a matter of perspective. I think the encryption vs proof of work muddied the conversation a bitnwhen in fact they are kind of the same thing. Only POW is brute-forcable hashing that only proves someone expended energy vs encryption which is not brute forcable and so can't be used to tell us wheter or not someone comitted energy to an act. So the two together are essential. Once you conbine proof of real worth energy expenditure with software you bring the real world into the virtual world in a really profound way, and I think we're going to see the application of that becoming more important as AI blurs the lines between human and computer generated content. At least pow will impose a real word physical cost which might well keep us all sane.

I’m 80% through the episode and I thought Danny’s question about encryption being the main factor in securing data - not proof of work - was exactly the right question to ask. So far, lowery hasn’t said anything that would make me think he has a point that is both true and original.

When he says something that sounds new, it seems wholly confused, wrong. And when one of you challenge, he retreats into something true but uninteresting.

But I still have a few minutes left to listen.

Has good points about abstract power hierarchies, but reaches conclusions that are antithetical to the ethos of Bitcoin.

Jason Lowery, thoughts?
