Twelve mile walk through the Dorset countryside today. Wet, cold and windy. Came across this hidden gem tucked away in Winterbourne Tomson. A small Norman church which apparently was a favourite of Thomas Hardy.

Music time. Edgar Broughton reflecting the mood of the first cold War, unfortunately he also reflects the reality of the Cold War MK2. "How far are we from dying Is it nearly at an end How far are we from dying Is it nearly at an end"

Many will be aware that Bitcoin follows a four year cycle. 18 months or so of "Bitcoin is dead" 12 months or so of quiet accumulation and then 18 months or so of "Bitcoin to the moon" This hype tends to follow the "Bitcoin halving" which happened last Friday I have been pondering the last Bitcoin hype cycle when at the same stage four years ago governments printed up $billions for Covid relief. I wondered if they would supply a similar boost for this hype cycle. Maybe a small start but we perhaps have an answer? War spending. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-vote-long-awaited-95-billion-ukraine-israel-aid-package-2024-04-20/

Who realised that Boris Johnson was such a brilliant child actor?

Programmable Money? Are we there yet? If I wished to set a wallet address make a regular payment from Bitcoin, Lightning or Liquid to an exchange over the next 50 years is this possible? Use cases, a charitable trust or inheritance planning.

"When oppressed becomes oppressor and the best becomes the worst, When the meek become the mighty and the blessed become the cursed, When the flame of faith is failing and the light of love has died, When the fruit of truth decays upon the tree of human pride"

Russia is fighting with shovels and is stealing washing machines and street cameras to harvest computer chips. At the same time we need conscription because Russia will invade all of Europe. Just as the US declassifies the latest Russian space weapon. We live in a comic book. https://image.nostr.build/e51e4977107f904c11106fe872383d50087d4bad2524f34265191c78fa2374f9.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=680x680&alt=Russia+satellite+washing+machine+&blurhash=UADJF%3B%7D6000%25004.kq%25gLzt3%5Ejv%7D00cH%5EjxT&x=74e81ae7426b28650cbc84f185342493a951dd057ade11a0c547fc64d7ff75f2

The alternative to Wikileaks is not the CNN topped up with ex CIA spooks or the Guardian simping to the D-notice committee¹. The alternative is likely to be an autonomous AI bot built upon a decentralised messaging and file system. A system without a figure such as Julian Assange for governments to try and destroy. No vulnerable human to provide an attack vector. https://www.veteransforassange.com/careful-what-you-wish-for-mr-pompeo
