"Mine" A Bitcoin Sitcom Episode 1: The Arrival Cold Open: The camera opens on a dusty, deserted road in Nowhere, Montana. The only sound is the distant hum of cicadas and the occasional crow cawing. Suddenly, a beat-up pickup truck, overloaded with solar panels and what looks like computer hardware, rumbles into view, kicking up dust. The truck pulls up outside an old, dilapidated barn. Out steps Gerald, a man in his late 30s, dressed in tech-startup casual, looking around with excitement. He's followed by Butch, who looks like he's been dragged out of bed, wearing a fishing hat and a flannel shirt, clearly not as thrilled. GERALD (Clapping his hands together) "Alright, Butch, this is it! The start of something big!" BUTCH (Yawning) "Yeah, big headache. You do know we're in the middle of nowhere, right?" Gerald starts unloading equipment with enthusiasm while Butch reluctantly helps, more focused on his phone. Gerald sets up a solar panel, connecting it to a laptop. The screen lights up, showing a Bitcoin mining dashboard. GEARLD (Grinning) "And there it is, Butch. The future. Magic internet money, powered by the sun!" BUTCH (Looking skeptical) "And what exactly are we mining for again? Gold? Diamonds?" GERALD "Bitcoin, Butch. Digital gold. And we're doing it green." Butch looks confused, then shrugs as he pulls out a beer from the cooler in the back of the truck. BUTCH "Well, as long as it pays for more of these, I'm in." The camera zooms out as they continue to set up, the barn slowly transforming into a makeshift tech hub against the backdrop of rural Montana. The screen fades to black, and the title "Mine" appears with a quirky, upbeat theme song playing in the background.

Get after it Nostr.

Your citadel should be a beacon. A shining city on a hill. A lighthouse of hope. Not just a bunker for safety, but a refuge. A place that trains new prophets willing to go into the darkness. Charged with the fire to bring about revolution. Prepared to sacrifice for the chance at a world with a renewed sense of independence, responsibility and true freedom.

We all need reminders to drive us. I figured I’d share one of mine. What are yours?

"CANDLE" A Short Film INT. SUPERMARKET - DAY The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow over rows of neatly stacked products. A man, JACK, mid-30s, with a slightly worried look, navigates through the aisles. His eyes are fixed on a piece of paper in his hand - a shopping list with "Candle for Wife's Birthday" circled. JACK (muttering to himself) "Just a candle. How hard can it be?" He turns into the candle aisle. The shelves are lined with candles of all sizes and scents, but what catches his eye are the digital price tags flickering above each item. JACK (to himself, hopeful) "Let's make this quick." He spots two candles side by side. One is labeled "Lavender Dream" and the other "Ocean Breeze." The prices are reasonable, but Jack, being frugal, reaches for the cheaper "Lavender Dream." As he picks it up, the digital price tag blinks and the number jumps up, surpassing the price of "Ocean Breeze." Jack's eyebrows furrow in confusion. JACK (confused) "What the...?" He puts "Lavender Dream" back and picks up "Ocean Breeze." The same thing happens; the price tag for "Ocean Breeze" now shows a higher number, exceeding "Lavender Dream." Jack's confusion turns to mild panic. He checks his wallet, counting the bills. Not enough. He removes some "Men's shampoo" from his cart. JACK (to himself, resigned) "At least the house'll smell nice." He goes to pickup the "Ocean Breeze" - it's even higher again. JACK (to himself, increasingly anxious) "What the... This can't be right." His eyes dart around, landing on a small TV mounted on the wall at the end of the aisle. The screen is ablaze with breaking news: TV NEWS ANCHOR - Max Keiser Type - (screaming) "INFLATION IS SKYROCKETING! PANIC! PANIC!" The screen shows a bizarre, animated figure labeled "The Inflation God" laughing maniacally, candles shooting out of its mouth like fireworks. Jack looks back at the candles. Their prices are now doubling and tripling every second right before his eyes. His face pales. JACK (desperate) "What's happening..." He looks directly at the camera, his expression a mix of disbelief and resignation. The camera zooms into his eyes, reflecting the flickering price tags and the chaotic TV screen.

This is actually one of the reasons I disagree with @ODELL and others about getting off of X. Build here - 100% - get it ready. But mass media is too powerful in the culture war. The way to win is to fight a two-front war. And the unleash coordinated propaganda of our own. Not all will break free (I get that.) but we don’t need all - we just need a few at the top. A few gatekeepers and the floodgates open. Bitcoin will happen. But the transition will be peaceful or bloody. The determining factor will be the amount of hearts and minds changed before that moment comes. View quoted note →
