A shantyman for BTC. Occasional purveyor of cypher-funk. I save Satoshis, because Satoshi saves
I’d tell you all what a great Stoic I’m becoming. But that would be very un-stoic.
Just spent an hour doom-scrolling bird app.
Soul corroding
When will I learn?
I’ve finished recording another B-T-Sea Shanty.
May be my best one yet.
I’ve actually been sitting on it for at least four, maybe five years.
It’s really the first one I ever wrote in a way. Just been carrying it with me, jangling around in my head.
I’m all ready to release it… but I don’t want to.
I don’t know why. Doesn’t feel right?
What am I sensing here?
“The more pleasures a man captures, the more masters he will have to serve.”
it's getting so hard to visit twitter these days
Are you braiding your pork tenderloin, anon? 

I just slept for 9.5 hours straight. AMA
🎶 Goooooooood morning!! 🎶
He’s not wrong, folks. 😉

So here's how a block beat works:
First you figure out the current block height
Then you turn the numbers of the blocks into pitches
Then you play those pitches and see what you hear
Then you just fuck around until something good happens
Then your music is intertwined with the time chain forever, kinda.
Enjoy...

A brief and powerful letter that cuts to the heart of why art exists and should continue.
Art is a mode of being. Not a mode of having.
You should not give that over to the machines any more than you would let them relieve you of a good meal, a good conversation, or great sex.
These things are not to be optimized but savored. View quoted note →
What is up with the mempool right now?! People really paying almost 800 s/vb!! Or am I misreading the RBF feed?
Still, mempool is very full.
The line between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.
And so this ripples upward to the social structures man creates. This we see the cycle of empire follow a predictable path.
It’s important we separate the temporal character of the late stage American empire from “the idea of America” as envisioned at its founding and in its golden era.
These are a distinct set of ideas (or ideals) which serve as intellectual patterns of value to guide us.
Right now the “idea of America” seems to shine brightest in El Salvador, frankly. View quoted note →
