GM, just wanted to tell you that my butcher does not want to convert his bitcoin into worthless euro’s. I’ve tried many tactics, scaring him, pushing him into some nice spending… can’t get him out of his bitcoin. He’s become a hodler, I’m impressed.

I gave the board of the Dutch central banks with this article as the package. The feedback is, my son loves the 🧦 the message is appreciated by some… “You advise to put cash euros in a sock, as you are warning for bank failure. Bitcoin has not had any downtime for over a decade. It doesn’t lose value when you put it in a sock. In your beautiful package with the article where you warn the population you’ll find bitcoin socks and a paper with 24 lines, you can write your bitcoin wallet on there.”

“Why it’s not possible, we know, the only thing that counts is that it happens.” You could also translate this as “We know why it’s not possible, that it is brought to fulfillment is the only thing that matters” Would you have a better translation?

My wife @Sanne is a hero, she has been breastfeeding 52 months in a row. Pregnant quite some time during this period. Our sons are becoming strong Vikings because of her.

Just send this list for a next podcast recording about censorship in the Netherlands, these videos are critical for the storyline: RTLZ (niet meer te vinden, framing 2 miljard belasting ontduiking) NPO interview (niet meer te vinden online met framing bitcoin als slecht en dan positief verhaal)

Interesting @jack

I decided to not care about where it is going in the Netherlands anymore, but I can’t help myself posting this.

Everyone ready with their @GrapheneOS phones? You’re going to need it…

Why do shitcoins exist? In its origin it was to focus on specific niche trade offs. Speed of transaction and privacy were the most important. And of course it was used for large scale pump and dumps. We now enter the last time that there was a niche use case on a L1. Every technology necessary to become global money has now been developed on bitcoin. It’s now a matter of scaling and reaching the masses. The issue: grifters, diversifiers, tradfi, central banks, large global corporations intertwined with government, rich Ponzi adjacent “investors”, regular government adjacent workers (>50% of most western countries), mainstream media etc. So it will be slow, we will still have major swings. When markets become rational, they take secure control of their bitcoin. That’s the moment supply is thin and major swings start to occur. Bitcoin still has to go through a real phase of adoption. It’s very questionable if that point with the common man will be in the next year/years. Something major has to change. In my opinion this is the split of bitcoin and crypto. It has to happen. If it doesn’t we all lose freedom through overregulation. If your goal is to make more bitcoin trading shitcoins, think about the long term effect. If it damages people & bitcoin think twice. This is our last opportunity to facilitate freedom and savings for mankind.

This is where my wife and I grew up, where we used to live & work with the farmers for many years. Last year we decided to leave, it was a plethora of reasons. Seeing this in our (ex)local newspaper today is shocking: “Farmer is not allowed to milk his cows in the night anymore”

Time to say goodbye to ING bank. It was my last Dutch bank account. They don’t allow use of VPN to login to your bank account. Both the app and the website block VPNs.

I’m becoming an expert in fixing clothespins

Today I talked a while with an owner of an antique shop. There’s almost zero interest in decent antique furniture. Massive oak remains unsold, while it lasts hundreds of years. People are buying as cheap as possible. He is shifting more and more towards small “antique” bracelets, rings and other junk that they usually just receive for free when they clear houses. This couple of euros junk just sells. He also had a couple pairs of shoes of old brands, they last a lifetime, they are basically new but “old fashioned”. I asked him how old he thought my shoes were. Couple years he answered but still looking good, easily fixable, old fashioned way. Told him, 3 new soles, 1 new inner work. 21 years old. Wore them couple of times each month… He said the best pairs should last 40 years wearing them weekly. You can still find a few manufacturers in Europe… Low time preference shifting to high preference in the antique market was not something I was expecting to see. Fun part, the fridge he had reminded me of @BitPopArt 😂

Europeans waiting for the ATH…
