Gm nostriches, today’s the day!!!! Coming into the final week before term starts and I can attempt to question the indoctrination process, “it’s been a while since they let me loose on first years…..” (note, not in a creepy way). Walking into work and felt uneasy taking the photo, but made a statement about the UK, the traditions next to the reality of a country that is not working. The progressives may say the homeless need money, but the realists/bitcoiners will say we need to fix the money so they never get to this position in the first place. Heading out for my weekly “chat” before putting off prep for next week (I like the idea of just going a little rogue), then some paper reviewing. Not that exciting, but once work is done, kid to swimming and then I continue with the book!!! #coffeechain

That moment when you KNOW, the board is stacked against you. Daughter is a ruthless #monopoly player. The only buildings on the board.

So excited when heard about this chat a couple of days ago and minutes in, already very happy. Simon is great, @Jeff Booth absolute legend. We have the tools to empower ourselves through code and privacy “Satoshi could be walking amongst us and we’d never know”, but without capable individuals, these tools will just lay unused on a bench. To arms brothers, practicing using them, be ready the time arrives.

Buckle up freaks.

GM Nostriches, yesterday was a very good day, time with my mother, talking my daughter back from the ledge while buying new school shoes, two very good meals out, cake baked (by daughter and mother) AND a bike ride. Maybe a high bar for today to live up to, but already dressed in my biking clothes, ready to get the kid out into what looks like a better weather than yesterday..... Really unsure how may mother deals with some of my opinions on the world, like me, she is very much what one would have called a liberal in the 90's, but while I appreciate how my views may have developed, I'm unsure how she connects with the group she used to view as her's. But on the plus side, when I present my views of what is happening in the US, IE, if you don't want to agitate some pretty wild ICE guys, probably better you stay at home, and definitely don't drive towards someone with a gun, she was still able to see the logic in the argument (the left is a long way from capturing her!) #coffeechain to start, then fix breakfast for ma and kid, then we bike........ oh fuck, I should have looked outside before getting ahead of myself......... hmmm, maybe it's a good time to work on the book!

Oh dad, you look like you're doing something serious on your computer. Yeah, checking in on the magic internet currency, with a whole load of retards and autists. One day, one of these people could invent a world changing technology, oh wait, Satoshi did, @calle is doing and so many of them are doing what they can to make the magic internet money take over the world, which is using a technology that is changing the world, even @Yojimble with her mega thread 😉 Took a short break in proceedings to take the simple, fully analogue, old school bike for a quick spin in the mud, good times.

PSA announcement. If we only buy paper bitcoin in an etf or treasury company wrapper, are you not limiting what bitcoin can do for you. Store of value is a great thing, as long as it only stores your value, but to realise that value you need to be able to exchange it. “Medium of exchange through time” freaks 🫡🙌 @knutsvanholm If you don’t use it, whether that it to transact freely, store the value of your time outside the system, or simply have sovereignty over the belongings (the state grants you the ability to live in your house), you’re tying a had behind your back as you go into battle. If you don’t use bitcoin’s power, you are just a guy wearing a cap, cosplaying a super hero. #bitcoin

Gm nostriches, over in wales, listening to some early morning storming outside, #coffeechain and #dogstr for my company until we get cracking for the day. Hope the weather improves before me and the kid head out on the bikes. Rolling into chapter 12 (additional chapter has been added) and have a burning desire to include a really bad taste joke, knowing that people could think it’s awful and crass, and make an otherwise interesting book just feel cheap……. Hmmmm, I appreciate that risk, but I also feel calling Marxists and neo Keynesians retarded, or maybe even says “a retarded friend of mine got really upset for being put in the same basket as them, ‘I at least know I have severe learning difficulties, they seem oblivious and having been given the keys to the country’” is an important message I need to be explicit about. Hmmm, that’s actually quite tasteful. The trials and tribulations of being author who just doesn’t give a fuck. 🫡🙌

Pretty happy with that. #steakstr
