Happy Friday and GN Nostr!

I have 2.7 trillion reasons to save in #Bitcoin. #uk #nationaldebt

This pretty much sums up where I’m at currently. I’m known as the Bitcoin guy that has some interesting takes on economics but that’s it. I don’t push my views on anybody and tend to just encourage people to do their own research on bitcoin if they ask me anything. In the UK, Bitcoin is basically viewed as the same as every other crypto scam and is generally looked down on unfortunately. In time, when all others fall I’m sure people will start to wake up.

For my fellow British nostriches out there, does anyone know whether direct debit payments for bills, utilities, etc can be taken from your @npub1ex7m...vyt9 account in the UK? They create a bank account for you so wondering whether it can be used as a primary bank account or not. #uk #bitcoin #asknostr

After making the decision to go on a Bitcoin standard, I’ve relied a lot on @Bitrefill & @Coincards.com. However, today I came across a lovely coffee shop in South Wales that accepts Bitcoin payments. Adoption in the UK is low but it’s great to start seeing small businesses getting onboard. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 #uk #bitcoin

Maybe controversial to say but much of #Bitcoin ‘influencers’ like BritishHODL piss me off and make the Bitcoin space look like complete degenerates. The amount of people on #X that just take advantage of algorithms and just regularly post insane price predictions in fiat and the promise of ‘big titty bitches’ is insane. All stuff that new people want to hear which gets engagement. But all stuff that also makes the wider Bitcoin community look indistinguishable from other crypto bros. #bitcointwitter

Initially I struggled to kick the habit of scrolling on #X because I was still programmed to need the algorithm-driven dopamine hit. It took a month or so but after using #nostr more and more, I rarely feel any desire to look on #twitter or another social media platform. I feel less angry, more hopeful and more like I’ve connected with real people.

I’m not sure what it looks like to the outside world but from within the UK, it’s terrifying how wide sweeping the measures are to clamp down on freedom of speech and thought. What’s most shocking is the amount of people that are just going along with it. Conversation and dialogue are one of the most powerful tools in bringing people together and resolving differences. That’s impossible if you’re not allowed to openly speak what you think. In time, I think that a lot of people in the UK will turn to #nostr so that they can honestly express themselves. #uk #freedomofspeech #plebchain

This is so true. I’ve always thought it’d be a cool idea to build an anonymous job board on top of nostr. No KYC. P2P payments. Globally accessible. Anonymous. You build your reputation through reviews attributed to your npub. You pay a small fee to the paid relay to post job postings. Simple. #asknostr - does anybody else think this is a worthwhile venture? Or completely unnecessary? View quoted note →

Finally got ‘Broken Money’ by the brilliant @Lyn Alden for my birthday. Can’t wait to read!

Many banks have been met with this screen today due to a single point of failure. Whilst #Bitcoin has continued to work as normal, like it has for the past 15 years. Maybe that magic internet money isn’t so risky after all … #Crowdstrike
