The next social meetup in Louisville happens to land on Super Bowl Sunday. The plan is to play #bitcoin games on game day. We're early so you still can get to your watch party and eat fiat party food. Cheers!

You can never have too many bitcoin board games! Happy hodling!!!!

Yes, sir! Thank you asking! 🤣 Hodl Up!!!

Sharing this with parents ... it's one of best non-Bitcoin articles on education that I've seen in a long time. Pass it on.

It's BitDevs day in Louisville.... weather is getting better so no excuses... see you there!!!!

Last night awesome!!!! Nice work!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

New experience today ... Bitcoin games at a certain company HQ. So grateful! Bitcoiners are awesome!!!

Cincinnati? Lexington? Indy? You're within driving distance. Come join our Louisville BitDevs hosted by

Imagine naming your kids after the properties of money? Well, perhaps not naming them, but dressing them up for

? Listen to this and other stories from Leigh Ann and

, homeschooling parents of six kids. If you've ever felt doubt about what it takes to homeschool, this episode is for you. They are truly inspirational!
They cover how it feels to get started, using analogies like super-bananas, and general principles, like teaching kids to govern themselves.  Also, since Jason is the ambassador concierge at

, we preview this Nostr/Bitcoin project at the end of the program.  

https://fountain.fm/episode/v3F7z7nJh98roHocbtGJ

My first only article published on Bitcoin Magazine was "Homeschoolers Are Bitcoiners Who Don't Know It Yet." After attending my first Mises event recently, Austrian economists are also Bitcoiners who don't know it yet. Peter St Onge and Saif remain the famous contrarians.

Everyone here on nostr has probably been frustrated at one time or another sharing Bitcoin. But it should be fun! That's why our Louisville meetup is adding Bitcoin game events between our monthly BitDevs. First one is now scheduled 🫡

We've have a couple products 🤣

It’s passion, not a teaching degree, that unlocks education.  Bridgette Johnson creatively meets kids where they are, e.g., dealing with developmentally delayed, non-verbal, traumatized, beaten, autistic, et al.  She is a grandmother entrepreneur!  She is starting her own preschool based on how kids really learn, not based on fiat curriculums.  This includes money literacy and so much more.  

and I are inspired ... you’re going to really enjoy this episode.

Correct screenshot ...

Watching people open up to Bitcoin, including my wife, while playing HODL UP is one of the best feelings in the world. It's cool and humbling at the same time. To help others do the same, I'm in the process of capturing the many ways the game reflects Bitcoin in short videos. Eventually I'll turn these into a free-and-open-source course. The first few of what will likely be 20 - 30 videos in total are now in Github in the "Free and Open Source Education (FOSE) Foundation" repository. Happy Hodling! Here's the link: https://github.com/FreeMarketKids/FOSE-FOUNDATION

For those on the fence about homeschooling, it's as natural as parenting. Authentic and impactful teaching requires passion and commitment, not superficial credentials or fiat "standards". Parents already have all the tools they need to raise and teach their kids, without any help from state-approved "subject matter experts".
Just ask

It's possible some percentage of people here on nostr still use amazon. it's almost as difficult as google to get out of your life.
if that's you, we have a Proof of Keys Day special for our Lightning game, CHANNEL UP, and seed phrase game, BIP39. 21% off! Cheers!

Young parents and soon to be parents, commit to try homeschooling. Just try it. You have nothing to lose and an unbelievable amount to gain. Homeschooling has asymmetrical upside to unleash children's potential and nourish natural parent-child relationships. Unlike what the administrative state would like parents to believe, children are resilient. Their ability to adapt quickly minimizes the "risks" of trying homeschooling. Not unironically, homeschooled kids have greater opportunity vis-a-vis the most common FUD, academics and socialization.

To have and keep sovereign money, we must have sovereign education.  In today’s episode, we explore sovereign education in Alaska with bitcoin homeschoolers, Wade and Tami.   Great people doing great work!

https://fountain.fm/episode/ZMTbOO2etLc7QV1a4vg7

It's frustrating sometimes when explaining #bitcoin to friends, family or acquaintances. There is so much to communicate in a such a short period of time. That's why I'm building a library of super-short videos to explain through the HODL UP game. Today I cover timechain from 2009 - 2140. Hope it helps! Cheers!

It is a first principle concept that parents have the right to raise and educate their children. And whether you are a parent or not, it is in your self-interest to support the separation of education of state. Every authoritarian leader in history pursued control of kids for a reason. It is a pillar of Marxist thought that totalitarian regimes embrace. #sovereigneducation

Austrian economists are bitcoiners who don't know it yet. The exceptions, of course, are Peter St Onge (is he on nostr?) and

. Last night I added an Austrian economics event to the #bitcoin #homeschool and game conferences I've experienced. This was a Mises Institute dinner with their president Tom DiLorenzo the headline speaker. These are super nice people and all libertarian-minded but their reception to my bitcoin inquiries was pretty cool to tepid at best.

Normally our Bitcoin Homeschooler podcast focuses on parents or soon-to-be parents who want to homeschool. But

points about the dysfunctional nature of tech, e.g., blue light, flickering, social media algorithms, notifications, etc. make this discussion important for ALL parents.

This is especially impactful for ages 4 - 9 ... IMHO

Sovereign education is on my mind this week. Today's KISS is inspired by a recent conversation with a friend / bitcoiner / veteran / homeschooler.

Sovereign education rises from sovereign parents. 

Sovereign education, by definition, does not require homeschooling; it requires sovereign parents. 

Sovereign parents actively and freely decide how to educate their children. 

Parents have the right and responsibility to decide where to be on the spectrum of unschooling to state schooling.  

Bring your pre-coiner family and friends! This is going to be an amazing event. If you're within driving distance, join the fun!

2024 has been historic in so many ways ... one was hitting the laser-eye target of 100K.

In honor of that we're offering this AWESOME but LIMITED deal.
We'll gift a standard version of the #bitcoingame HODL UP with the purchase of the 2024 Halving Collector's edition.

Happy Hodling!

It takes more time but I prefer having an image with the "Daily KISS" ... Today's KISS: https://m.primal.net/MpoG.png
Homeschooling frees the roots of creativity and critical thinking but state schooling constrains kids' potential with conformity and compliance.

And one more HODL UP = BITCOIN series ... Neither have banks!

https://youtube.com/shorts/E4vPV7FH3H4

Happy Friday! Today's "Daily KISS" with a visual ...

The real heroes of homeschooling are the kids.
Parents are just guides on the journey.

Daily KISS ...
Digital money is here. It can go CBDC or Bitcoin but it can't be "undigitized". The question to ask is are you going to educate yourself and your loved ones, or are going to trust others and hope it all works out.

Today's "Daily KISS" was inspired by conversation I just had with a couple of pre-coiners. They were asking about investing and price and the typical no-coiner things. This short response resonated with them and they want to learn more. Baby steps ...

Sat down to create a list of 21 ways Bitcoin and Hodl Up align and am over 30 already. Turning these into shorts for now. Eventually, I'll combine all these and create a course for new-coiners. Cheers! https://m.primal.net/Mnki.mp4

GM, nostr. Daily KISS ...

Homeschoolers are Bitcoiners who don't know it yet.

Www. FreeMarketKids.com

https://fountain.fm/show/1zlkhZqpvLcrS5uvJTWa

Daily KISS ... Separation of money and state = end the Fed Separation of education and state = end the ED

This is one of the best rips ever on why to homeschool.

and

, you guys fired me up with this one. Nice work!!! 🫡

https://fountain.fm/episode/uC8IeMz6M9S1SMVuCyHa

and I had the honor to learn about homeschooling in India directly from

and his wife. This was a lot of fun. We're so grateful to them for sharing their time and insights. Enjoy!

https://fountain.fm/episode/ITfUI49Jb9mqsAhKuVpv

Good morning, nostr. This is the phrase on my mind when I woke up today: Fiat money = fiat education Sound money = sound education

I know my purpose.... 🫡

Good morning, all. The offer code remains live ...

Happy Black Friday, nostr. Let's make this more interesting!

For those looking for a Bitcoin gift, or a gift registry so a loved one knows what to get you, this 21% offer is awesome.
note1f736myxyyhc3mdk7xgc0qt2atws5thfjnaqc68ek6pzh2sfp00yq8ckyal

Great points! Appreciate feedback from other content creators .... You already had me convinced 😂 Thank you! 🙏

Hey,

How about a Hodl Up rematch?

Everyone within easy driving distance, we'd love to see you at our Louisville Bitcoin meetup today. We're taking a break from BitDevs. This is family friendly. Bring your significant other, kids, parents ... We'll have Bitcoin board games too. 3pm at Haymarket.

Happy Friday! Super bullish about this offer. Please repost to spread the word. We pulled forward 21% off deals. You can get Hodl Up and all other games in time for Thanksgiving and a long weekend with family and friends. The discount code is "FELLOWSHIP". You apply it at checkout on site www.freemarketkids.com. This discount applies to our existing games including the high-end, low-time-preference version of Hodl Up.

Someone is reminding me there are other things to focus on besides bitcoin's fiat exchange rate ....

Clown world 🤡🌎 is entertaining, yes, but often painful. I'm making a "2024 Top 21" list of events that have made this year historic. Regardless how exciting or painful, I'm focusing this list on freedom tech, money, bitcoin . Appreciate everyone's input 🙏

Sharing an epiphany and good news: My wife

and I were talking this morning about the holidays and the importance of multiple generations spending time together. Then I shared with her some feedback from

about a discount I shared a couple days ago. We had one of those moments we both realized something simultaneously. We should not wait until Black Friday to announce deals on our games. After all, by then people will have missed an opportunity for fellowship by playing them over Thanksgiving.
So, we're going pull forward 21% off deals to today. You can get Hodl Up and all other games in time for Thanksgiving and a long weekend with family and friends. The discount code is "FELLOWSHIP". You apply it at checkout on site www.freemarketkids.com. This discount applies to our existing games including the high-end, low-time-preference version of Hodl Up.
For those who don't know our games, we have a Bitcoin game (Hodl Up), a Lightning game (Channel Up), a seed phrase game (BIP39), and a pricing game (Is That The Best You Can Do?).

Hey, nostriches. Sometimes reading notes/posts of others traveling the world to attend conferences makes me feel like there's this inside club. This isn't completely fair because there are those who genuinely share connections with like-valued people. Authentic connections are really bullish. They're awesome. It's when people just brag about their fancy travels that I'm turned off.
I say all of that up front because my experience in El Salvador last week falls into the bullish, wonderful people bucket. It started with the Mi Primer Bitcoin "Unconference" event that was full of bitcoin-educators. This was followed by two days of Adopting Bitcoin. The venue was different but the attendees were all high-signal bitcoiners.
To everyone who helped organize these I'm so grateful. Thank you! To everyone I got to hang out with, it was an honor. I love spending time with bitcoiners. To everyone who could not attend, we missed you and hope you can join next year.
Cheers!https://m.primal.net/Mcfu.jpg

As more people learn about Bitcoin, more will understand what proof-of-work really means. I created a 21% off code for our POW apparel. In the spirit of scarcity, this code is limited to 5 people. First come, first serve. The code is "871114", the block height when I set this up yesterday. URL is www.freemarketkids.com.
