The Bank of Canada lowered rates today by 0.25%. They also signaled more rate cuts in the near future "... if the economy continues to improve". Rate CUTS if the economy is strong. This makes no sense.

I hosted a Bitcoin Walk yesterday. One of the guys that showed up was a young guy, seemingly eager to learn about Bitcoin. The kid had a decent understanding of it works, at least for a newcomer. About an hour into the walk, he started asking me questions about how he could find a job in the Bitcoin space. I told him that his time would be better spent learning, coming to meetups, and stacking sats. He didn't seem very happy with my answer... he started asking about shitcoins a bit, and if I had ever thought about starting my own. High-time preference stuff. This kid seems destined to go down the shitcoinery path... I suppose there's nothing for me to do other than be an example for Bitcoin-only, but it's frustrating. This kid seems like a hustler (in the good way), but I suppose it's all just a part of the process.

Great rup @Nunya Bidness. I also have a beta version of Fountain/Nostr, and I tried to share this directly from Fountain, but I had to copy/paste and do it in Amethyst. Do you know if there's a way to do it completely on Nostr?

@bitcoin.rocks Outside the Sunday morni g farmer's market. Farmer's and the people who buy directly from them are already primed to get #Bitcoin.

My favorite non-Bitcoin podcast right now. Mike Ferris asks amazing questions, and builds great rapport with his guests. https://fountain.fm/show/4TVpS12MDHnqW0waFhA6

The guy who makes this YouTube channel, AJ, has to be a bitcoiner. He's mentioned it in a few of his videos and he seems to "get it". Great channel if you're into conspiracy theory stuff, aliens, Graham Hancock, etc. And his stuff is so high quality and fun that it's normie friendly. Check this one out:

What's the best #nostr DESKTOP interface?

One day we'll be telling our kids that we were able to interact with the base layer for less than the price of a chocolate bar.
