He has one meeting with these a-holes and couldn’t take it anymore. “These guys have a lot of attitude for a bunch of action figure collectors - they’re acting like they made their money in real estate” View quoted note →

@JasonC and I are Back on the Chain Phish is the honey badger. The song Possum represents the nihilism that good people resort to when demoralized. It’s the CODA of a long tale about a tyrant who gets overthrown by rebels only to see those rebels continue the cycle of tyrany. Possum is about a guy 500 years after the tale we’re told, seeing a possum get run over and finding it funny as though none of what happened in that world really mattered. The national anthem of nihilism. Phish is constantly resisting the pull towards nihilism- they are still putting out their best music even after 41 years of fighting the Fiat monster. Bitcoin would help a lot. Thank you @Pickle Dan 🥒 for the logo as always.

Circular bitcoin economies are what make diamond hands. Spending your bitcoin at Burger King doesn’t make much sense - you might as well sell it to an exchange - but I get why people think these are different. Spending your bitcoin on a friends time because you want them to see how valuable spending that time on your task is - this bitcoin isn’t sold off right away. This bitcoin is HODL’d within a community that wants to direct each others time in a particular and focused way. Bitcoin circular economies isn’t about buying soap or trinkets - though they may do so strictly for the fun and the ritual. It’s a deep agreement amongst the members that Bitcoin is crucial to their way of life. These communities and economies will outlast the Microstrategys and Blackrocks of the world by centuries. What are you building now anon? Who are you building for?
Most frustrating NPC way of thinking around math is the question: “When am I ever gonna NEED to know that?” It’s a complete cop-out from learning anything challenging and it’s so widely accepted that you can’t even discuss anything cool in math for a minute without someone asking it. Here’s a life tip: YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SKILLS YOU NEED BECAUSE, IF YOURE NOT A TOTAL LOSER, YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE MANY MANY TIMES OVER ITS LONG TIMESPAN. YOU ARENT LEARNING FOR YOU - YOURE LEARNING FOR THE YOU THAT YOU WILL BECOME AND SOCIETY WANTS TO LIMIT WHO THAT CAN BE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. STOP LETTING THEM!! That is all.

Pretty hilarious that Bitcoin bottoms out right before US markets open and comes back as the great NVDA burns
Nostr is so great because it doesn’t matter what client you want to use Now let’s pile millions into Primal so that users can be in an algorithm again.
The success of the decentralized world will rely on the structures that exist for people to compare notes. The more disparate the knowledge levels coming together, the more power the decentralized communities will acquire and wield. Nostr is a good place to establish such structures but it may be that podcasts are what select for the people who come together. I do a math podcast designed to motivate people to learn math but it’s the people who listen to it and discuss what they are seeing, starting with my partner, but really extending to everyone sharing their experience, that gives that community power. I do something similar for the band Phish. What I’ve noticed is that the more horizontal the subject matter connects with Bitcoin, the stronger base you can build and the more people can go down into the Rabbit hole with you.
