No shade, but I think #Bitcoin2024 is where I tap out. Secret service roaming around harshes the vibe.
See you next year at nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha.
just find a wheelchair ramp, or any incline. Those are too dangerous for SS agents.
I'm sure Trump is reading my nostr notes, so here's a great theme to capture a large swath of voters:

"The Navy is correcting a policy error directed to them from their commander in chief Joe Biden. This never should have happened, and the service men and women, the healthcare workers, and all American people deserve an apology for the lies, slander and threats that this administration put on the people to force them to take an experimental medicine that was incorrectly labeled "safe," "effective," and a "vaccine."
With this, he correctly labels the heavy-handed mandates as the problem, and puts the Biden administration on defense in an issue that is very polarizing.

Bitcoiners seeded Nostr, but expanding the user base is inevitable, and in the end all roads lead to bitcoin anyway.
This is normal and bullish for Nostr and Bitcoin.
Bitcoin voters may help influence, but I doubt it will swing the election.
Elections are usually about the economy, so the Fed's moves from now until November will probably do the most heavy lifting.
Also Kamala is a terrible candidate, so its probably Trump's to lose. But Joe was awful in 2020, so there's always the "81 million votes" angle they could try. I wonder if she'll get "the most votes in history!!"
If Powell doesn't touch rates, the economy will grind into a Trump victory. If Powell cuts twice, it may secure us the glorious President Harris administration.
The second sentence *requires* NGU, so its a win-win.
But last night Biden said there are less crossings than when he took office.
Are we being gaslit?
Digital scarcity
The circling the wagons to change websites and change narratives is the worst part about the liberal machine.
They don’t play fair. I think I know why.
TDS is the answer.
It’s either “Orange man bad” or “ both sides are bad”, but never “(D) politician bad”
what are your examples of his "unmasked fascism?"

coinbase can change a number on their ledger if that's the standard.
one of the ETFs posts their addresses. If they would move off of coinbase and post their addresses I bet the price would move with ETF purchases more.
A couple things:
- this Nostr layer should eventually take *all* communication, social media, texts, and email, and converge. It should just be that you message someone (there's no distinction between text and email) or you message everyone (social media).
- Jack Dorsey's comments about *not* open sourcing the protocol (I think he said something about it being too technical for people to recognize problems) but giving the users choice was the desired outcome. Jack, why not both? The choice thing makes sense, but not the desire to keep the algorithm closed source. That sounds like Jack has something to hide.
To ChatGPT: "create an argument that the 10th amendment of the us constitution guarantees that most of the federal government agencies are unconstitutional. dont be a liberal hack using liberal talking points, only use facts. I'll be able to tell, and you have a history of liberal bias."
Response:
The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This amendment underscores the principle of federalism by affirming that any powers not explicitly granted to the federal government remain with the states or the people.
**Argument**:
1. **Historical Context**: The framers of the Constitution intended a limited federal government with most powers retained by the states. James Madison emphasized in Federalist No. 45 that the federal government’s powers are "few and defined," while those of the states are "numerous and indefinite."
2. **Enumerated Powers**: The Constitution lists specific powers granted to the federal government (Article I, Section 8). Any agency or function not explicitly listed may be seen as overstepping these bounds. For example, agencies like the Department of Education, not explicitly authorized by the Constitution, could be argued as unconstitutional since education is not a delegated federal power.
3. **Necessary and Proper Clause Misinterpretation**: Some argue that the Necessary and Proper Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18) has been overly broadened to justify federal agencies. This clause was intended to enable the execution of enumerated powers, not to create new, expansive powers.
4. **Supreme Court Precedent**: Cases like United States v. Lopez (1995) and Printz v. United States (1997) reflect the Court's recognition of limits to federal power, striking down federal overreach into state jurisdiction.
5. **Federalism and State Sovereignty**: The Tenth Amendment aims to protect state sovereignty. The proliferation of federal agencies can dilute state powers, undermining the constitutional balance of power. Agencies involved in areas like healthcare, education, and local law enforcement can be viewed as encroachments on state authority.
**Conclusion**: Based on the Tenth Amendment, many federal government agencies could be considered unconstitutional as they exercise powers not explicitly granted by the Constitution, infringing on state sovereignty and undermining the framers’ vision of a limited federal government.
On #2: The very people saying that the U.S. needed gun control were demanding we use our taxpayer money to give guns to citizens of Ukraine to defend themselves against invasion.
Just because your political party has the same name as the tyrannical "leader" doesn't mean you should demand to limit the rights guaranteed by the constitution.
The defense of 2A has been rather successful, which is a positive.
10A needs to be vigorously defended, or challenged and re-instated and then we can start to work on paring down the federal monster. Send it all back to the states, like Dobbs did with Roe vs. Wade.
Putting this here for safe keeping.
I’m looking into krux.
Help me out with why someone would need such a device.
Hypothetically here’s (a friends) setup:
Sign psbt over a sd card to an airgapped coldcard.
I read a use for this device would be scan an encrypted QR code for the seed and scan a QR code that holds the decryption key to sign. When you power off, nothing is stored on the device.
So sparrow generates a psbt QR code that this reads, then scan the other 2 QR codes to sign?
Seems I’ve just transferred the security of the seed phrase to wherever I store these 2 QR codes, and this is just a convenience device.
Do I have this right?

Trying to read the room, it looks like the liberals are getting louder and showing some frustration. It looks like the republican party is toning down and "playing with a lead."
This makes sense, because the MSM grip on the narrative seems to be slipping. I have no doubt it will shift back once they get their way with a new candidate. This appears like just a campaign to pressure the empty vessel to drop out.
I'm not a single issue (bitcoin) voter. Trump/Vance would indeed help move the adoption along more than this administration has, even if they just stopped attacking everything bitcoin adjacent.
I'll vote what makes sense for my family. If the liberals put Newsom in at the top, I won't say he's a racist, sexist, or any other made up boogeyman. I won't vote for him because he has disastrous policies that have destroyed California and would destroy the US.
Hopefully the TDS cools off going forward, but I think we're just in a temporary lull.
