“Bitcoin is trustless. But bitcoining is nothing without trust.”

This fantastic piece by

hits different right about now.

Silence is maintenance.

Just finished Four Thousand Weeks.

I found it to be a liberating, refreshing take on productivity.

Use Lightning, they said.

It’ll work, they said.

Everything Is temporary and that is where the beauty comes from.

Gonna tell my grandkids this was when the strategic bitcoin reserve was created.

I was not in the room where it happened, but they won’t know the difference.

Disengaging from the political process has consequences.

From now on, the only reserve I believe in is Woodford.

Folks, don’t give blood while strolling social media.

I saw this in the wild and I can’t think of a worse combination. Life draining out of you and toxicity streaming in.

Sometimes I wonder if AGI is the Tower of Babel, and civilization has been trying to do this over and over again just to have God nuke it in the end.

I mean, what if the dinosaurs were onto something?

What is the point of the internet if you can’t share a link anymore?

This is why we Nostr.

Shoutout to the Fed for pausing rate cuts.

Doing nothing is the first step toward stable monetary policy.

I switched back to iPhone and holy shit, my friends want to talk to me again.

It occurred to me just now that Ross Ulbricht had been in jail for the entire Trump era.

He had no way of knowing that someone would get him out one day and it would be the guy hosting The Apprentice.

Life is wild, man. And time is a thief.

TikTok creators blossoming into a rogue band of government dissidents is quite the story arc.

Bitcoin is 16 today, and like other teenagers, it will test your patience.

RIP Jimmy Carter.

Carter proved it's never too late to add a new chapter to your story if you're still alive.

He was much more influential as a diplomat after his presidency than during it.

In the future, deleted Nostr events will be like rare artifacts about which scholars debate whether to include in the canon.

Pro tip for taking care of holiday shopping:

Pick a fight at Thanksgiving dinner and get your family to disown you.

Reconcile with them come January.

You're welcome 💫

New BIP alert: I hereby propose we change "sats" to "fucks."

One bitcoin equals 100,000,000 fucks.

How much is that coffee? Oh, it's 10,000 fucks. Can't afford it though. I don't have any fucks to give.

There are many arbitrary rules in the English language, but the matrix of lie/lay/lain has got to be the dumbest.

I hope someday future generations can lay it to rest.

Stacking sats is like driving on the freeway. Anyone going slower than you is a moron. Anyone going faster than you is nuts.

Bitcoin is the new gold.

Gold is the new silver.

Silver is mad as hell.

The average LinkedIn post:

One of my employees embezzled $15 million.

When we caught him, he offered to give it back if he could keep his job. He begged and pleaded.

I said no.

I told him to keep it all.

On my team, we value work-life balance.

Blue jeans: The love language of country singers everywhere

This is one of those moments where I wish I could hug people through the internet.

#bitcoin #100k #plebchain

Thomas Vanderpoole is not Satoshi.

Silence is maintenance.

As long as people are doing mass livestreams for bitcoin reaching $100k, it's not going to happen.

Play it cool, y'all. Act like you've been there before.

Turns out there is a second best and it's MSTR apparently.

I don't understand J.K. Rowling's beef with transgender people.

Really, you're fine with polyjuice potion but transgender, no?

This world tells you to do what you love and follow your dreams until you're about 25. Then it tells you to give all that up, get your head out of the clouds, and get a real job.

I think that's horseshit. So, I'm here doing my thing if only to spite those motherfuckers.

The world would be a lot different if Hillary Clinton hadn't committed the mortal sin of self-hosting an email server.

Don't be fooled. Health is wealth.

It's so cute when a baby gazes up at you with loving eyes, takes you by the hand, thinks "Imma eat this motherfucker," and shoves your thumb into their mouth.

Relentless

Seriously loving the Reddit threads of academics and propagandists wondering where they went wrong.

It's like one big Narcos meme.

This whole year would've gone differently if people had listened to Dean Phillips.

Have fun with your voting, democracy, and everything else that you're playing with.

The electoral college is a ZK rollup.

Today we get to choose who builds the roads 🤩

Gonna be a long week for Reddit moderators.

Serves them right, the bastards.

Tomorrow will be many things, but it won't be the end of the world.

Read this if you're nervous about the election.

The nice thing about Tuesday is it'll mean the end of the prediction market hype cycle.

It's a good day to rake leaves and not think about the end times.

Wow, this squirrel is the new Harambe. RIP.

As someone who's been in bitcoin since 2007 and Nostr since 2013, I just want to say y'all are doing it all wrong.

How long until they change the name to "One bitcoin"? https://image.nostr.build/e58847637e4f289ab4df677c9e4744dad3d08c94d43da41f8ea61467b7bbf827.jpg
