I’m exploring the worlds Free Market via @BTC Map Right now I see plenty of dentists I can trade with, that’s a great start! I’m going to spend some time interacting with and contacting a lot of the businesses on this global map to show my support. Very Cool. #CircularEconomy #DecentralizedLiving #SovereignSystems #FreeMarketSolutions #RegenerativeCommunities

How many transactions a day wld you say we need to uphold as a community to ensure our Free Market stays decentralised and secure? 🤔 🤔 🤔 #food4thought

The things I most need to find in my local circular economy: Water Food Fuel Electricity Health care / Emergency care #CircularEconomy #DecentralizedLiving #SovereignSystems #FreeMarketSolutions #regenerativecommunities

So I’m currently mentally preparing myself to leave Instagram, where I do a lot of my shopping. I’m not quite ready to jump but I wld if there was an open source Bitcoin Free Market shopping app. Trying to unplug from the things that aren’t valued aligned. Some are easier than others. I took this pic while visiting Todos Santos, Baja. Very cool town. #FreeMarket #BitcoinTrade

Thanks @k3tan Used your post to have chatGPT help me break down and understand each element better: 1. The Block Size • What it is: Each block can only hold a limited amount of transaction data. • Current limit: ~1 to 4MB (via SegWit). • Why it matters: It forces a trade-off—Bitcoin prioritizes decentralization (smaller blocks mean more people can run nodes) over processing huge volumes of transactions. ⸻ 2. The Supply Cap • What it is: Bitcoin has a hard-coded limit of 21 million coins. • Why it matters: This makes Bitcoin provably scarce, unlike fiat currencies which can be endlessly printed. Scarcity gives it store-of-value properties (like digital gold). ⸻ 3. The Difficulty Adjustment (absolute genius) • What it is: Every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks), Bitcoin adjusts how hard it is to mine a block. • Why it’s genius: If miners suddenly increase, blocks will come too fast—Bitcoin increases difficulty. If miners drop off, it lowers it. • Result: This keeps block times stable and makes Bitcoin resilient to fluctuations in mining power, no matter how much energy or hardware is thrown at it. ⸻ 4. The ~10-Minute Block Interval • What it is: On average, a new block is mined every 10 minutes. • Why it matters: This is a deliberate balance: • Long enough to minimize orphaned blocks (conflicts between miners) • Short enough to confirm transactions in reasonable time • Helps keep decentralization—no one miner can dominate block production ⸻ 5. The Fee Market • What it is: When block space is scarce, users compete with fees to get included. • Why it matters: • Incentivizes miners (especially important after block rewards diminish) • Encourages economic use of the chain (not spam or junk) • Makes Bitcoin self-sustaining without central planning ⸻ 6. Private/Public Keys • What it is: Each user controls a private key (a secret) that proves ownership of Bitcoin. From it, a public key (your address) is derived. • Why it matters: • You can receive with your public address • You can only spend with your private key • Gives true financial self-sovereignty—no need for banks or permissions ⸻ 7. The UTXO Set (Unspent Transaction Outputs) • What it is: Bitcoin is not account-based like a bank—it’s built on a ledger of unspent chunks of Bitcoin. • Example: If Alice sends you 0.1 BTC, that’s a UTXO. When you spend it, it’s destroyed and new UTXOs are created. • Why it matters: It’s like cash. You hand over “coins” (UTXOs), not draw from a balance. This enhances privacy, auditability, and flexibility. ⸻ 8. The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network • What it is: Bitcoin nodes connect directly to each other, no central servers. • Why it matters: • Decentralized and robust • No single point of failure • Censorship-resistant and globally accessible ⸻ 9. The Adversarial & Anti-Fragile Nature • Adversarial: Bitcoin is built assuming participants may be greedy, dishonest, or hostile. • Consensus rules make cheating impossible without massive cost. • Anti-fragile: Attacks and stress make Bitcoin stronger. • Government bans = more innovation. • Exchange failures = more self-custody. • Miner exits = difficulty adjusts. Bitcoin adapts, strengthens, and evolves under pressure—like a living organism. View quoted note →

Who can share info or ppl with me that are involved in a circular economy in Australia? 🙏🙏🙏 #australia #Bitcoin #circulareconomy #freemarket View quoted note →

Apparently taking one capsule before bed promotes a deep sleep naturally. Will keep you posted on my results! #naturalhealth #deepsleep #relaxation

Been getting up an hour earlier before work to juice & drink celery juice, wait twenty minutes, then juice & drink a green juice including *4 green apples *A chunk of ginger *Half a large cucumber *A lemon including 1/4 of the peel (working my way up to more) *A lime plus peel *Fresh mint Then let that digest before having breakfast. Then having a smoothie in the afternoon. I cannot tell you how good I feel! #health #juicing #committed

What I’m excited to find more of here on nostr: *Folks actively engaged in BTC circle economies *Businesses, services & goods who take BTC as payment *People strategising how to let go of the Control System & move more of their time, value & energy into the Free Market *Folks getting orange pilled *Events for connection *Tips, stories and experiences of self sovereignty *Ultimately anything along these lines that inspires! #freedom #freemarket
