POWELL announces the time has come to cut rates. Prepare the #bitcoin rocket ship.

Free will is an illusion. Change my mind.

I have deleted my Twitter app and I’m going to try and focus on spending time in this new world.

Talks like these keep me coming back. Still on my journey. View quoted note →

How did most people on here run their own bitcoin node?

Great convo between two great minds: @Jeff Booth and @Saifedean Ammous really enjoyed the part about @Fedi and excited to see where Obi and team take this.

Thanks for the reminder to set up my own node @Jeff Booth Sick of sitting on the sidelines and not doing my part to help secure the network. https://www.youtube.com/live/h5MkidOK0W4?si=2hhcYYYobdHUpI3F

Fantastic #Bitcoin  talk by @Guy Swann TLDW: Fix the money, Fix the World:

#Bitcoin  101. When mining Bitcoin, you compete for the right to enter Bitcoin transactions to the Bitcoin ledger. You use special computers that use energy to guess a correct number, and if you guess correctly, you enter the transactions and get a Bitcoin reward.

I hear the #Bitcoin  stock is splitting in a couple days! Huge if true! #HalvingBitcoin #Halving2024 #halving

Old Money (#Gold and #PeterSchiff ) Meets New Money (#Bitcoin  and Nat Brunell) Peter thinks he and only he can determine what money is. He is wrong.

New to #Bitcoin  and wondering what the heck a #hash is or #SHA-256? Go here and play around. You can input ANYTHING, and it magically converts the input to a 64 character string. Any changes to input creates a totally unique hash output.

SHA256

This SHA256 online tool helps you calculate hashes from strings. You can input UTF-8, UTF-16, Hex, Base64, or other encodings. It also supports HMAC.

Re-listening to Inventing #Bitcoin  by Yan Pritzker has been the most helpful book in my next stage of my Bitcoin journey; trying to understand the technology from a first principles level. So many things are starting to click. Specifically SHA-256 and Hashing. Class of 2021

Good morning #Nostr. If you had a friend who is interested in learning about #Bitcoin for the first time, where do you point them? What is the first podcast or book or article you direct them to?

What is #Bitcoin? My thoughts combined with Chat GPT making me more eloquent :) Bitcoin represents a novel form of money distinct from traditional modern money. Unlike conventional money issued and regulated by governments, Bitcoin operates independently, comparable to gold as a finite commodity. However, Bitcoin stands out as a digital asset, conceived anonymously in 2009 and introduced to the world without central authority. At its core, Bitcoin functions as a software protocol governed by open-source principles. Unlike typical software protocols, Bitcoin is characterized by its decentralization and distribution. This means that no single entity, whether government or corporation, controls the Bitcoin network. The absence of a centralized authority contributes to its resilience and security against manipulation or hacking attempts. Being open source permits anyone to examine the underlying code, fostering transparency and community involvement. This decentralized nature extends to the widespread distribution of Bitcoin protocols worldwide, further bolstering the network's robustness. One of Bitcoin's fundamental features is its fixed supply of monetary units, a deliberate response to global concerns over inflation and wealth inequality perpetuated by government monetary policies. This scarcity principle underpins Bitcoin's value proposition, distinguishing it from fiat currencies subject to arbitrary inflation. For those intrigued by Bitcoin's potential, a wealth of information awaits exploration on the internet. Delving into Bitcoin reveals a transformative journey that challenges conventional notions of money, society, and economic systems. While some may dismiss Bitcoin as a speculative bubble or passing trend, its depth and significance become apparent upon closer examination. The Bitcoin community comprises individuals committed to its growth, security, and ethical advancement. Beyond mere financial speculation, Bitcoin represents a paradigm shift in how we conceptualize currency and trust in the digital age. Exploring Bitcoin opens doors to a world of innovation and possibility, shaped by the collective efforts of its global community.

Very cool moment for me. One of my #Bitcoin heroes, @Jeff Booth zapped me! I will be sure to pay it forward. Such a surreal and amazing journey it is being part of this community. Thanks Jeff!

Sup #bitcoiners. Who needs a video?

Wow @Jeff Booth thinks that SIM swap was orchestrated from inside the telecom company. Crazy times. Sounds like I will be spending more time on NOSTR. Another great interview…
