WTF is this?

Me: “I lost 5 lbs at the conference.” My wife: “How?” Me: “Food and water wasn’t convenient to access in the expo hall.” Wife: “Lol- that’s how you know the conference was ran by a bunch of autists” She’s not wrong.

Love the stream of content I’m seeing from you in my feed- keep it up!

thank you for the Bolt Card. That was the top item I had hoped to take home from the . I purchased a second one for my kids, in fact. Now we’re set for swimming and shopping, whether at the conference again next year in Vegas, or , or at Bitcoin Beach, without the concern of phones and water.

Peter Schiff and Satoshi’s Skull were the same thing at Bitcoin Conference 2025.

I heard on a podcast you’re bringing Bolt cards? Would love to check those out.

My verified account is on Iris. Great onboarding client.

No such thing. Just watch the multitude of billionaires trying to rewrite their own narrative under new governments. In fact, the more money you have, the harder saying F-U can be. Saying F-U is a state of mind that requires no dollar amount. One can simply use Nostr and take full advantage of the uncensorable features of Bitcoin without owning any Bitcoin at all.

So true. Don’t forget about the impact this will have on your personal balance sheet, as well. There’s enterprise value in growing cash flowing businesses.

Bravo- this is well said. I hadn’t realized there were so many others like me with a shared need for freedom.

Nothing dystopian about this, I’m sure.

"What if aliens are autistic..." This pod asks all the right questions. Fucking hilarious https://fountain.fm/episode/fn8Ry4UqcQuWxb6VYqLC

So is Nostr usage volatile or is it dying? https://stats.nostr.band/

https://fountain.fm/episode/d3SoIojB2WfmcR4umWs0 How is Bugle Weekly both so bad and so good at the same time.

around the hour-ten mark for at least 5 minutes- thought you may find this interesting. https://fountain.fm/episode/gMGRYUXLDlxG8JOXuFSV

That would be amazing.

What's the TL;DR on this? GM, FYI

It's important to keep a safe space in this crazy world for toxic Bitcoiners and shitposters. Just doing our small part.

They willingly left? I wonder what percentage of those qualified for pensions and just opted to retire with income without having to work.

Almost. It’s leveraging debt and LP equity and common stocks via ATM issuances and likely preferred equity onto companies that leverage LP equity and common stocks via ATM share issuances and preferred equity on top of the currency risk leverage of dollar returns from Bitcoin.

Chef’s kiss level of toxicity

Strange, it’s the opposite reaction for me.

Orange Pilling suburban mom’s- exactly how you’d expect it to go. https://x.com/bitcoin_teddy/status/1883664463590822215?s=46 #bitcoin #orangepill #funny #moms #savings #retirement

Why did you happen to choose 2018-2024 for the CAGR? If you follow the same equation to calculate the 2018 value using 2011-2017 would it find the 2018 average? What about 2015-2021 to find the 2022 Bitcoin Winter average?

This explains the background expressions so much better.

How did they define ‘communication channel’? Could they ban email? Nostr?

Some argue money is a multiplier of a person’s personality. If they’re a humble person, Bitcoin could make them more so. If they have low impulse control, it could only create more problems.

I may have missed something in my readings, but an economy on the ₿ standard would be deflationary, would it not? I can certainly foresee strains during a transition period (ie the ‘short term’). For example, housing, healthcare, and education would still be too expensive for many and their taking on debt denominated in ₿ would be even challenging to pay back. In the long run, for those able to incrementally save, their purchasing power grows, but how does that impact the high cost of services in those fields- becoming a doctor, speculative investments in medical technologies and high tech? Will those begin to resemble the budding ₿ and Nostr ecosystem, where the pursuits are out of passion and supported by a mix of generous benefactors and revenue? Will economies have enough service providers under such a model to meet demand?

Shower thought: If an economy is on the ₿ standard, would companies still be faced with the daunting task of ‘grow or die’? GM Nostr

What’s the significance of this? I don’t see a send button. There’s multiple eCash wallets.

I have umbel but cannot connect anything. None of my wallets connect using the addresses and ports that the nodes provide. Anyone run into this problem? What’s the fix? #umbrel #asknostr #bitcoin #node

Debt isn’t the only form of leverage. Equity, currencies, and time are other factors that can be levered.

Couldn’t agree more.

I can see your point under certain conditions. By winning, I mean it becomes a global reserve currency and prevalent as a medium of exchange. For that to happen, it needs to be for everyone, and OG’s like us feel less welcome in bigger future Bitcoin circles. BUT the lack of self custody by those who have any nexus with Bitcoin is a sorry state. Adoption is more about NgU, to your original point, than about self determination and individual freedom. I am with you on those values and am disappointed how little they seemingly mean for most people, who elect not to use this as an opportunity to voice their shared values because of a little bit of friction in the onramp process.

If I may provide a more positive interpretation of your comment: This is a Feature not a Bug. Bitcoin is winning the more Bitcoiners look and sound like the general population.

Well, the problem is that virtually all Bitcoin transactions are buying and selling it for fiat currencies. It’s worth X dollars because that’s virtually all it’s exchanged for now. If and when Bitcoin is actually used as a medium of exchange, where the transactions become overwhelming in goods and services, it’ll be priced in those goods and services, and those goods and services will be priced in Bitcoin. It’ll stop being about number-go-up and more about things like food-costs-go-down (relative to Bitcoin), or housing, healthcare, and education costs go down (relative to Bitcoin).
