It's all engineered folks. Days before the midterms and Binance just happens to get hackled for $3 - 5B Not likely: The liquidation triggers massive self off, those that want your Bitcoin, swoop in and hoover it up. Be like the bad guys... have some dry powder at the ready for these shananigans. We are just getting started. This is what a global financial collapse looks like toward the end of the beginning. #Binance

Wise words...

This is the "fuckery" your big ticket concert company foists on the venues that really matter. Where new artists that may ultimately play those big arenas one day, get their start. Live Nation does more to kill music than it does to promote it.

Thanks to NIVA for taking this monopoly to the courts. May they be most victorious in making room for independent venues and artists.

Doing the work!

Now that the outcome of 110 has been established, my focus has shifted to the demeanor of the highly visible anti-110 "bitcoiners" who adamantly expressed opposition.

If this was a "civil war" of ideals and truly defending the network prior to 961,632 (664) then it might be fair to say the gloves were off and any means necessary to obtain one's objective was justified.

Now that we have a decision, many of the "victorious" side have not simply taken the W and moved on. The amount of continued attacks after the fact on their adversaries, has exposed the true character of these individuals.

Perhaps I gave these people too much credit in the past, giving them a pass as they were after all fellow bitcoiners.

This W for them has done more to show their weakness of character even though they feel emboldened by the "in-group" status sought after.

Sadly, I'll never un-see the real person now that the larping mask has been removed. For anyone paying attention, you know who these people are. Be wary, they are NOT your friends. I'll never have that same vibe at a Bitcoin event after this reveal. Maybe I've been too altruistic, therefore it's on me.

Finding the authentic Bitcoin ethos in future meetings with people, now appears more difficult than mining the third BIP-110 block. To those inauthentic actors, should we meet at an event and I'm rude to you d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶ take it personally.

You've gotta see and hear this show live for the full impact. Sara and crew blow the doors off wherever they play. Get out and support live music, checkout where Sara Jade will be performing next. 🤙

Ready to reconnect with the tribe?

It's been a challenging bear winter with emotions high and frustrations boiling over. We came together when shit got real this past week. Time to rejoin hearts and minds and look to the future we are all ultimately building together.

The state is picking up speed as is the erosion of our freedoms. We must A C C E L E R A T E faster.

You don't get the moniker "legend" without putting in the work. Happy 1st decade

! Thank you for EVERYTHING you do for Bitcoin and us humble plebs 🙏

... and we give a fuck about World Cup "Football" cuz why?

Space ships just became publicly traded... who's been out there in "space" looking back? Don't trust verify.

Iran war was about ensuring that an ancient civilization could not build a "nuke"... but no one gave two shits. I gotta drive my car, give me cheap gas.

I'm still deludedly optimistic... #onward 🫡

In 2016, I didn't think the Bitcoin "community" (which now includes by extension, Nostr) would look like this.

The fight used to feel aligned towards a cause. Now it feels fractured and confusing.

#DrJackKruse has warned, the next attack would be for our minds. The psyop would look to FUD and divide.

It seems to be working. I wonder how many of those former comrades are aware of this? Will they realize this before the damage is irreversible?

Let's remember who the enemy is and reconnect as allied forces. ☮️

Read that again! 2.5 million sats found their way to the musicians on this gig. Big thanks to those online and in person who zapped the live show.

knocked it out of the park for the sophomore gig at the funky Downtown Vegas night spot.
Folks are already buzzing about the three-peat for 2027.

It was also THE Nostr event of the Bitcoin conference.

was on hand to onboard and educate.

kept the music pumping from the top floor until closing.

This is the way! Kudos to all involved!

It just keeps getting better.

Secret IRL test of my "still in dev" project. I am pushing a stream from the Open Source Hub to Zap Stream and my new platform simultaneously. It is not in production but running off a dev server but if you want to test it out please do. Note: Any accounts will be deleted when we push to production in a week or so.

Legends! One and all.

Everyone I've talked to is going to this! 📣 Words out.

Fantastic article! Even if you're already aware of these facts, it's an excellent reminder of what's at stake.

Tldr - get your head in the game:

It's now psychological warfare.

This is your call to action.

This is a great day for Independent music venues and musicians. collectively. Live Nation and their cabal known as Ticketmaster might be broken up as they have now been determined by a jury to be a monopoly.

and the members of #NIVA. Take a well deserved victory lap. This was over a decade in the making.

Let's Go!!! 🔥

Good riddance Q1. Kick that thing out the door and get some new vibes into the next quarter.

1 Bitcoin still equals 1 Bitcoin

Doesn't matter what Saylor says, or how much NAKA sells, or if Jamie Dimon talks out of both sides of his mouth... we got this.

Bitcoiners need to reunite and stop sniping at each other. Recall when we wanted to topple the central banks? The shiny fiat object has distracted many from that objective.

What if they created an SBR and no one gave 2 f**ks? We never needed approvals before, did we just get lazy?

Q2 - let's build community again.
