Whew!!! Was EPIC hosting my first workshop/meetup. We talked OpenPGP sigs, password managers and cold-storage solutions. Forgot to take a picture, but this gif is close enough to how it was 😐 #workshop #meetup

I'm super hyped about hosting my first bitcoiner meetup. I've turned it into a small workshop, where I'll be teaching how to verify #OpenPGP signatures with GPG, why a password manager is so important for good internet hygiene, how a #coldcard works and also introduce them to lightning by buying coffee from me, with sats I send them on wallets they create during the workshop 😄 @BTC Sessions I'm reusing your lightning picture from Miami 😁

"I hate asking for permission" was my latest one-liner when I was asked "so why are you into bitcoin" by a normie. #bitcoin is #hope

We've been bashing governments all around the world in this ecosystem, but I feel there is one thing we could add that would enhance perspective in the debate. Governmenting is *really* hard. 🤷🏽 As a successful government, you need to perform the functions of government while maintaining the people's indisputable right to speak, right for ownership and the right to perform those rights privately. The question we as bitcoiners are raising is, whether that task is impossible under broken incentives. And that's why we're spending our time and energy promoting and building a system that solves many of those incentives by adjusting the underlying fundamental driver of those incentives. I heard @preston talk about the proportion of complainers to problemsolvers. It's fascinating to witness how different that ratio is within the bitcoin ecosystem compared to outside of. @Saifedean Ammous is probably my strongest follow on why government is unnecessary, but I must admit I havnt realized how that is possible. Every thought experiment I've done for myself ends up with government sooner or later. Some things are just easier from a centralised perspective. I'm very open to being convinced otherwise on this point. I love the idea, I just don't know how it would work. #humanrights #bitcoin

I'm a bitcoiner because I hate asking for permission, I hate having to trust strangers. #bitcoin

I'm hosting a small local meet up where I'll be teaching: 1. How to verify OpenPGP signatures with GPG 2. Give an introduction to bitcoin self-custody. 3. I'll touch on what's required to run an umbrel node and use it to verify the blockchain. 4. I'll use sparrow wallet to demonstrate making transactions signed air-gapped with a coldcard. 5. I'll probably throw in a quick nostr intro which will include lightning introduction probably using @npub148qm...jra7 I realize it's a lot of what @npub1u70j...tqna covered in the miami coldcard workshop, which was awesome, thanks for the inspiration Ben. I'm excited about it 🤷🏽🤔

Alright fellas, I've finally made my first homemade beef tallow, am I toxic maxi yet?

@Vitor Pamplona would be cool to see the notes that my follows have zapped, is that a thing?

The problem with RFK junior is that you can't know his motives for sure and I saw something about him supporting Israel which is not good at all, but what really puts him apart is he is creating full fledged coherent sentences without forgetting his point mid-way, which is a huge step up 🤷🏽 Thoughts?
