I’m currently reading ‘A Lodging of Wayfaring Men’. Why have I not heard about this book before and why do bitcoiners not mention it more often? Copies of it used to sell like hotcakes on Silk Road. It discusses themes of freedom, privacy, and decentralization. It’s a perfect fit for #Nostr and #Bitcoin. I met an OG bitcoiner a couple of weeks ago that had a few copies in his attic. Copies are going for £294 on Amazon but we agreed a deal to sell them for just £60. These are mint condition, some are still shrink wrapped. They are selling fast so be quick. https://thebitcoinshop.uk/product/a-lodging-of-wayfaring-men/

Giving @Nostur a try. Seems like a good client for managing multiple accounts on #iOS.

The fact that you can buy 100 million sats for $41,000 USD right now seems ridiculously cheap to me. What a time to be alive!

In my pre-bitcoin days, around 2006 @npub13ql7...qcg7 played a song on is show, The Daily Sourcecode, from an album I’d recorded in 1999. It was a big moment for me, to hear my song introduced and played on his podcast. It helped me understand the revolutionary nature of podcasting and ultimately led me to Bitcoin. A few weeks ago I uploaded that same album to @Wavlake and was amazed when Adam picked up another one of the songs, and played it on his new show The Boostagram Ball episode 15. The sats flowed. Thanks for everything you do Adam. Keep pushing the boundaries.

GM I had a dream that the period we are living though became known as ‘The Hardening’. The period between the white paper and Bitcoinization.

Today marks 15 years since the white paper was released. For me (conveniently) it also represents 10 years since I found #Bitcoin. One of the eternal mysteries of my life will forever be ‘what the fuck was I doing for those 5 years’!

Just returned home from a full day of orange pilling business owners at the Hospitality Tech expo in London’s ExCel. It was non-stop talking #Bitcoin for 6+ hours. 98% positive responses. We’ll have some great new businesses accepting bitcoin out of this one. @Bridge 2 Bitcoin
