After 6 years, it's nearly time to buy a new phone. I'd like to repurpose the old phone, by flashing it, installing graphene and to be dedicating it to Bitcoin. Would be interested in hearing ideas of how it can be best utilised.

How it feels in Ireland today after our corrupt else serving government voted to give away control of our borders to the eu, so that they can continue flooding the country with endless and unchecked migration.

Assange Campaign

I'm delighted to learn that Julian Assange is finally free.. It's a shame that they made him agree to a plea deal admitting guilt. The hubris and hunger of the corrupt and powerful knows no bounds.

On halving day. This is the way. .

I'm starting to get sick of being sick.

How many blocks is 25 years??

TIL that the term "bob" in reference to money (or £1), likely originated from the Irish word for a cow "Bó". Livestock was used as money in Ireland until a few centuries ago.

Something clicked at #[0] . Prior to Atlantis, she thought I was somewhat irresponsible to be continuously buying Bitcoin. After Atlantis, she bought Bitcoin. This week she bought the dip four times. Proud.

For anyone who hasn't heard this already.. 🤣

#Bitcoin whales sifting through old wallets so they can sell a few coins to sell in the coming months.

Keynesian economists may as well be reading tarot cards.

#introductions.. If you're new here and just figuring this thing out. Then take some time to understand what nostr is and why it's different to twitter, tiktok, Facebook, etc. #nostr & #bitcoin are FOSS (free and open source) projects. They are built and maintained by communities instead of companies. A very important distinction. Nostr and bitcoin reminds me the early days of the World Wide Web. The 90s were my time as a teenage. In those days, we were surfing online with one another. We were a collection of total strangers, and some of us (atleast I) felt we would make this world better. We didn't know how at the time,, but we knew we would, somehow. . I went to college to do a computing degree, as I was so certain that this was the future. The adults didn't quite see it as clearly as us kids did, but it was crystal clear in my eyes. The Internet was our thing, it was our way forward. This was before Silicon Valley, the media or governments colluded and began to steal it from us.. The Internet wasn't as exciting after the 90s and from my recollection, companies like Google began to close their doors to foss, instead they locked all innovations down. Things really began to change for the worst after the gfc.. Governments got more desperate, Google and Facebook then ate the media's advertising model, and since then, the media and the government have been in cahoots. Governments got back doors to literally everything and the Internet been a shit show ever since. The surf isn't what it used to be. This isn't the Internet that provided hope, instead it's filled with dispair, tribalism and virtue signalling.. But I do feel a change happening. In #bitcoin and #nostr, I once again find hope that we can build a better world that cannot be Co-opted by the state and their cronies. These technologies are robust and anti-fragile. This time around, we will build it without their permission, their only path forward is to join us. So once again, let a little light back into your life by setting aside some time to learn about nostr and bitcoin.
