Bitcoin Dad

#Democrats are going to have to give up the nanny state if they want to beat the #MAGA authoritarian train. The only way to take down big government is by starving it of the #dollar. Adopt #Bitcoin to kill the beast, but in doing so the Dems drive a stake into their own heart. Sounds good to me.

MAGA: Free speech! But only if it's speech I agree with! What a bunch of fucking pussies. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/brendan-carr-abc-fcc-jimmy-kimmel-charlie-kirk-1236522406/

The Dems are appalled by Trump's authoritarian political moves. The best way to depose a dictator is to cut off funding. The only way to do that is by ditching the dollar for a money you can't print: #Bitcoin. But the irony is that they conflate #Bitcoin with crypto and Trump, so they'll never move to it. Not to mention they are just as authoritarian when they are in office. They're just not so loud about it.

It seems counterintuitive, but offering a RLOC against Bitcoin collateral would likely yield more return than offering only lump sum loans. 1. RLOC's are inherently more attractive to HODLers because they pay interest only on what credit they've used. The volume of RLOCs would be so much higher than lump sum loans that those offering the credit would make more yield than offering only lump sum. 2. RLOC's are the missing pieces in many HODLers #FIRE plans. It makes more sense to sell and keep cap gains taxes negligible (spend under 96k for a married couple) than to take the interest hiit on a 100k loan while dealing with liquidation risk in a bear market. 3. As a consequence of more HODLers taking out RLOC's rather than selling, BTC trades higher and perpetuates more HODLers hitting FIRE and taking out even more RLOCs. nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5tm8sjr nostr:nprofile1qqsg2zqd8wkhpnxu6lm5c2dyfa2mhpwte57apjae2ldp6g2mmwf3ypqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7q2hwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtnx4uhzdnhv9j8wuncv3jngmrgveen2dn8dcmrg6rh0f6ksmnxvym8ywtddg6rwdnjx4eng6rtw4h85em6w9e8xdn3xaaquwrzjs nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzenhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejj7mnsw43rzun5d3ckxcfcwgmxzatev9mn2m34dqekcdf5xgexgmf5wde8jdty0fnx2ef5xcunven3v5u8xdn3va6kg6mnxajx5arxwvlkyun0v9jxxctnws7hgun4v5dpfm4n , y'all got connections.

It would be amazing to only pay interest on what we have actually spent. Lump sum loans accruing large amounts of interest are inefficient for what most bitcoiners want to do: spend day-to-day against their bitcoin while hodling.

What's the point of #nostr if all we talk about is #nostr?

Kids will be like, "What are cents?"

If you're from New Orleans, you know what the true inflation rate is.

We need #covenants. This OP_Return BS has distracted us from improving #Bitcoin.

Trying to figure out if nostr:nprofile1qqsvetzrdtkpc8kz4eg54hstse8rx7cye5cvcgw9p4e7pt4s6nadw9gpzemhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skcqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv55da489 is right for me. I currently use a geographicially distributed 3-of-5 multisig to avoid single points of failure as well as a wrench attack. What I would love to be able to do is time lock a majority of the funds to dissuade attackers from coercive attacks (i.e. kidnapping a loved one). A multisig doesn't help here if the attacker knows I can gather a quorum of keys in a reasonable amount of time. However, a time lock of 3 months or more makes this attack much more costly since it's hard to hold a hostage for that long. So my questions here: 1. Liana is open source. Do we know how many people are reviewing this code? 2. Can you look at a time locked address on chain and prove that it's time locked? 3. Once a time lock expires, are there any on-chain transactions that must happen? This is in regards to the unpredictability of future fees. 4. This is fairly specific, but could you do a 3-of-5 multisig time locked for 3 months (or block equivalent) and then have a reversion to a single sig in a year (i.e. a recovery key)? Basically asking if double time locks are possible on the same UTXO.

I'd like to explore the intersection of #bitcoin, #cohousing, #capitalism, and #sustainability, and build a community with others of the same mindset. Message me if you are interested in creating a low time preference community centered around these ideas.

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today." Theodore Roosevelt, 1906

It's time to break up America. New England and the West Coast are ideologically different countries than the Midwest and South. Let people vote with their feet. Let these regions swing as far right or far left as their population wants. The political structural divide was baked in at the writing of the Constitution, and George Washington saw it coming at the end of his presidency when he warned against the formation of political parties. We will never be able to unify America ideologically. There is simply too much division regarding how these regions view both the past and future. Failure to separate will lead to a increasingly violent swing from right to left and back again until we collapse completely.

"Stay humble and stack sats" is much deeper than it appears. nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqnz0fd0

Mainstream media already planting the seed that Bitcoin is the cause of the next financial crisis: "But critics are aghast, warning the U.S. is promoting an investment with a history of incredible volatility that will end up hurting scores of average Americans, potentially setting up a financial crisis like the one the world experienced in 2008." https://www.npr.org/2025/05/19/nx-s1-5380228/crypto-trump-coinbase-sp500-regulation

There are a lot of bitcoiners out there that simp hard for Trump and say "He's actually a really smart guy and just playing 4d chess" or something of the like. But then he hires idiots like this, and I'm like really? This is the master team running our country?

There is now NO time in the last 5 years where one would be better off holding Eth than Bitcoin in the long term.

Oh, the irony. The best way for the US's (former) allies to get back at the US for tariffs, abandoning Ukraine, etc. would be to dump US treasuries and start settling trade with #Bitcoin in order to destroy the dollar hegemony. But these countries have also been the most outspoken in their hate of Bitcoin.
