This is a fabulous discussion which hits home on many levels. Thanks @Bradley Rettler @walker. I’m reflecting on my own #Bitcoin journey as the podcast sits with me. A few years after the deeper Bitcoin “aha” moment happened, it still amazes me that this puzzling, fascinating technology, global network and digital money would have caused me to move on from 20+ years in the community health non-profit world to pursue the goals of community development, social justice and human empowerment via different means. I’m excited about how the new Bitcoin Research Institute at the University of Wyoming will help catalyze and support that journey for so many others over the coming years. I’m even more excited about what this portends for humanity and the prospect for a better, kinder, fairer and more united world. View quoted note →

Out for my early morning run. Looks like this guy had a late night at the club.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, one for me that epitomizes “saudade”.

Hi all, I just wanted to take moment to let you know that you can also find me on this old app called X. You can connect with me using my handle over there: @ScottAWolfe. X is a centralized, proprietary app owned by X Holdings Corp. While you don’t get to own your personal ID on X, you do get to participate in an ecosystem that feeds you carefully selected content via an algorithm operating with opaque rationale and objectives. Just in case you need more, you also have the opportunity to be censored for a number of reasons, most notably if your thoughts stray from approved government parameters (oopsies!). Yes, I know you like the experience of non-algorithmic content consumption and engagement over here on your Nostr app. But come on over to X if you’re open to some good ole algorithmically-fulled click bait and toxic repartee with a diverse range of nyms and basement-dwellers. I’ll be over there for a bit still. Come find me!

Hatred pulls you in And love pulls you out. Love sets you free.

I try to remind myself often…and a lot more than usual as of late…that over 90% of the world would love to have my “problems”. Attitude of gratitude.

Very important new article by @Michelle C Leigh. Bitcoin is for everyone and it’s critical that elected representatives and political parties recognize that this means large segments of their voting base. Two key messages for Democrat-leaning Americans: #Bitcoin is for everyone. Study Bitcoin, and go from there. View quoted note →

Parenting and life thoughts. My little one (7yrs) is beginning to outgrow his current football squad and league. They won 5-2 today and he scored four goals and was clearly the most dominant player on the pitch. He needs to play up a level and be more challenged. What I was most proud of though was not the goals, but that he was talking on the pitch, trying to help his mates get in position, use space, and get back on defence. This was the first time I had ever seen him do this. I made little mention of his goals after the match and instead focused on his blossoming leadership skills. Even when it’s clear that we excel at something or are dominant in a particular context, there is always more to do, more to learn, and more we can become. We should always strive and push at new goals, new limits. Hopefully this is something I can instil in him as a parent-coach, and something that will resonate, whether on the pitch, in the classroom, or in other aspects of life. I hope he remembers that we did not celebrate his goals, but instead celebrated the areas in which he is pushing into new parts of himself. I used this as lesson for myself. There is still so much more I can and should become as a person.

For all my fellow hip hop heads. ✊🧡

In both the U.S. and Canada recently, we see @KamalaHarris @KamalaHQ and @theJagmeetSingh raising the idea of price controls to combat the impact of inflation. Thing is, time and again they’re shown to not work. They sound nice, but so does the idea of just printing a million dollars for every person. We need informed policy on the political left, grounded in political economy, not pandering for votes through bread and circus ideas and appeals for us to simply punish strawman villains.

Let's Talk About Price Controls

With rising rates of inflation, price controls have been floated as a possible solution.

It must be underscored that what is being passed off as a potential “reset” by the U.S. Democratic Party appears to be an “everything but #Bitcoin” crypto fest. Fine, if that’s what is intended by this new “Crypto4Harris” campaign and what is desired by planners and decision-makers aligned with the party and Harris/Walz. But we should be clear about that and we must note what that portends. It says that a potential reset on crypto is being approached strictly as an openness to repurposing Silicon Valley tech narratives via tokenization and more insiderism. It is not about the values expressed by progressive members of the Democratic Partyy: values that Bitcoin exemplifies: financial inclusion, climate action, inclusive global development, and a program of peace. These global domains of #Bitcoin and its particular use cases, as distinct from the vast ecosystem of crypto, appear absent from the program. While some may find business value in these other crypto (fair enough), let’s be frank: they are not ushering in change. They are simply continuing the frameworks, systems and structures of tech-forward, Silicon Valley, venture capital dominated industry, via new means. Communities around the world are not harnessing these crypto to empower the unbanked and marginalized, nor to resist authoritarian rule and to fight for human rights. There is no Solana Beach. There is no Ethereum Ekasi. There is no Doge 4 Social Good. These other crypto are not revolutionizing energy production and economics like Bitcoin is. They are not scaling the supply of renewable energy and mitigating escaped methane like Bitcoin is. They are not outfitting communities around the world with electricity for the first time through unprecedented energy demand/supply models, again, like Bitcoin is. No, these inspiring phenomena that are significant parts of the Bitcoin story around the world are apparently not up for discussion within the “Crypto4Harris” led reset. These positive phenomena associated with Bitcoin are the domain of Bitcoin mining, and no representatives or researchers focused on Bitcoin mining have been invited to the list of esteemed speakers and thought-leaders within the new “Crypto4Harris” reset agenda. Bitcoin, the first technology to use a blockchain; Bitcoin, the largest digital asset by market cap (larger than all others combined); Bitcoin, the world’s largest decentralized computing network and open-source software; Bitcoin, the world’s 14 largest currency; #Bitcoin, the truly revolutionary network and global money, feels absent from the “Crypto4Harris” program despite its overwhelming size, impact and clear alignment with progressive values on the global stage. It must be said that this Crypto4Harris forum appears to characterized more by its glaring omissions than anything else. Perhaps those of us who scratch our heads in bewilderment that the Democratic Party (or at least its Progressive wing) have not yet embraced Bitcoin with full-throttled passion will be pleasantly surprised as this “Crypto4Harris” process continues to unfold. Maybe. I hope so. So far though, signs do not look very promising.

A big thank you to the German Government 🇩🇪 for selling 80% of their #Bitcoin #BTC at these very cheap exchange rates (below USD $60K) especially since a very large portion will now be held by individuals spread around the world, building a true global people’s movement of hope. I relish the thought that many of these sats, once held by the German state, will now be held and used in communities throughout the global South to assist in true community development and empowerment where so many years of national “foreign aid” and multilateral loans have failed. Power to the people! ✊🧡
