#TGFB23 schedule is set. 👀🔥

The US Treasury wants a $1 trillion coin to raise the debt ceiling and keep being irresponsible with other people’s money. I want the $1 trillion coin to be able to use it on one of these. We are not the same.

The principled grounds for a Christian civil disobedience are pretty straightforward: Jesus is God and the State is not.

“Markets decide what is valuable…I don’t want a central planning committee to say what is and isn’t valuable…what bothers me is the presumption behind the question that someone is in a position to make that judgment other than us collectively…” - @thetrocro This is a fantastic point, and it applies to religions as much as it does to energy (the context in which Troy spoke it yesterday at the @btcpolicyorg Summit.) The overwhelming majority of people who have ever lived have believed (and still today continue to believe) in divine entities and have found religions vitally important tools in understanding and navigating the world. Those religions that are the largest ought to provoke curiosity, especially on the part of those who don’t subscribe to them, on the grounds that they are market bound phenomena. This especially applies to those religions that have most grown as a result of and that most prioritize socially constructive free market virtues such as: - passionate and rational debate over ideas in a search for truth - high prioritization of personal integrity/piety - self-sacrificial love of one’s neighbors, including the weak and those who cannot defend themselves - high emphasis on and pursuit of impartial justice - low time-preference action - peaceful non-coercive proselytization With all of those factors in view, the results over the past two thousand years are pretty definitive.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Money is a tool designed to help humans “human (verb).” You can’t have a philosophically consistent definition of money without a well grounded understanding of what it means to be human.

The US spent $136 million last year to create $50 million worth of pennies and more than $104 million to create $50 million worth of nickels. #Bitcoin fixes this.

Activated #OnlyZaps mode and feel like I’m walking a high wire without a net. I like it.

Do your duty.

The last 3.5 years in a nutshell.

You haven't gone to the first principles of money (including #Bitcoin) if you haven't asked and/or can't answer the question, "Why does preserving human time/labor/value matter?" with something other than pragmatism and/or utilitarianism.

We thought about having a digital cuss jar wallet with all the proceeds going to @Bitcoinbeach/@MyfirstBitcoin_, but thought the incentives involved might not produce the desired effect…

“Nine times out of ten, the coarse word is the word that condemns an evil, and the refined word the word that excuses it.” - G.K. Chesterton

I have come to appreciate the fact that Damus let the user choose whether or not to see how many people follow them.

Bitcoin is money that governments can buy, but can’t own. Few understand this.
