Twitter (by fiat) and Nostr (by design) are the only mass media where large scale truthful statements are even possible. Twenty years of the “social media revolution” and we’re in this shocking place. In retrospect, it was inevitable.

I have the utmost respect for the team behind Mutiny, and know this is a gut wrenching decision. Mutiny has been an extremely ambitious, weird, and inventive product. I have no doubt we'll see hugely successful wallets in the future filled with the DNA left behind by the Mutiny team. A great legacy. View quoted note →

Morgan Stanley sales rep at the 9:30 AM tee time this morning: MS: No no no. We learned in blockchain for business school that you Hodl here. Client: … MS: it means you never sell. Client: … MS: some drunk guy in 2013 said so

Y’all are on Nostr, which means you’ve been here before. NGU technology has not been compromised.

Bitcoin doesn’t need politicians, but it doesn’t hurt when they know what they’re doing. The Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill is NOT a messaging bill. It is meant to pass. The bill immediately strengthens the United States, and puts us on the path to strengthening the dollar (once it’s backed by bitcoin). Cynthia has been at this since she won her election in 2020, and I truly believe this is just the beginning. Full text of the bill to be posted Tuesday.

There is nothing more bullish than watching my good friend @Bitstein execute on his vision for the future of SNI. View quoted note →

This book is a marvel. No idea how I missed it for this long. Weirdly detailed and focused, written by someone who was not qualified to do so. Unintentionally funny and unendingly informative. I know it’s popular in bitcoin circles, but in case you missed it like I did.

There are many conventional wisdoms that I disagree with, but the one that has helped me the most is the willingness to die on hundreds of hills to this point in my life.

Don’t worry y’all. Bonk is back.

Wouldn’t it be funny if a trans racial conwoman’s fight against bitcoin was Biden’s undoing? Everything is good for bitcoin. Even it’s lying race baiting enemies.

If you live in Austin, or several other cities in the US, you haven’t experienced sub 10% inflation since before 2017. https://chapwoodindex.com

Moving the Wyoming citadel home server set up to @Start9 . New hardware, new OS, new bitcoin node. RIP to the first and longest running bitcoin node in the state of Wyoming, circa 2016.

Wyoming now has two fantastic bitcoin centric conferences. The Sovereign Roundup from @Tristan 🌞⚡️ was a resounding success. Bitcoin, beef, and scenery like this…

Summer has begun.

Is this note a seedphrase? It could be. Any note, song, book, essay, advertisement, or prayer could be. And endless nest of authors, musicians, publishers, executives, and pastors transmitting money acting as money transmitters. Or the US DOJ is making a retarded argument. The US courts are mostly good at shutting those arguments down.

Today Texans celebrate San Jacinto Day, the last battle of the Texas revolution. It’s wild that it’s the last battle of the revolution, because the Mexicans still had a ~ 5:1 advantage of troops in the area. However after the battle, Mexico’s president and lead general Santa Anna pleaded for his life after capture. He wrote to Urrea to get him and Filisola to withdraw. Filisola did. None of it makes sense really. The Mexicans just retreated. The Texans won a single major battle in the entire war. Yeehaw. These guys fought at San Jacinto in 1836.

People will pretend to be busy instead of just working on bitcoin.

Austinites, who mispronounce everything (lol Manchaca), are halvening people.

You’d be amazed how much testing goes into any bitcoin release. It is one of the reasons Bitcoin just did what it’s always said it would do…like clockwork. You may not need to be that extreme, but maybe something like this. View quoted note →
