GM Ireland 🧡

Notes from Ireland I have to acknowledge, Irish Septembers are bliss.

I must not petit four. Petit four is the mind-killer. Petit four is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my four. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the four has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Slightly fatter.

Glasgow Bitcoin Conference today : this is Machiavellian levels of temptation, you ABSOLUTE BASTARDS.

In the annals of history not repeating but rhyming, this short article skewering the similarities of unsustainable fantasy of control between former USSR and current UK is chilling. Worth your time.

With the last, desperate attempt to restore the integrity of the system he had given his life to having failed, the only tolerable course of action...

Notes from Ireland 8 Sitting in the evening sun, the lads having velvety Guinness that slips down very nicely indeed. Drogheda is certainly putting its best foot forward.

Notes from Ireland 7 I swear the climate in this place is like living on a different planet 🤣 The sun was actually shining when I took the photo

Notes from Ireland 6 The air in this place is the most soft I’ve ever felt. My second sighting of a medium-sized rat.

Found the first thing I dislike about Nostr : the audience building wannabe influenSores who follow you then immediately unfollow, capitalising on the goodwill to growing a new platform and the likelihood of a reciprocal follow. Don’t waste my time in my notifications you twats.

Notes from Ireland 5 🤯 tap water is fluoridated here 😱 I have yet to visit a country where the air and the water feel so blissfully soft and pure (I swim in the sea most days here), it’s heartbreaking that Ireland is the worst EU country for adding fluoride to the public water supply (90% of households). Off to buy some gallons of bottled water, because I think micro plastics are the lesser of two evils- gah.

PSA. Bitcoiners: if you are new to a place and starved for good company, meaningful conversation & critical minds, find your nearest bitcoin meet up and just show up. I had the best evening last night at the Dublin Bitcoin meet up. Such a great group of people, mix of newbies and OGs. 7pm, 1st Thursday of every month at The Palace Bar- come join us next month, you know you want to. @Taranis great presentation & thank you for organising. 🧡
