The moment you stop converting sats to dollars in your head is the moment you actually understand Bitcoin. You’re not “up” or “down,” you simply have more or less Bitcoin. The price is just fiat having its daily identity crisis. Your stack is denominated in the hardest money that’s ever existed. Stack accordingly. Stop checking charts. Start checking your conviction.

Algorithm or no algorithm, if we’re not actively thinking about what category of content we’re consuming, we’ll absorb whatever our feed gives us without realizing it. The real skill remains being able to categorize and evaluate information on the fly while staying emotionally grounded. Nostr gives you control over the inputs, but the responsibility for discernment is still yours.

A hearty 0400 GM here on the west coast. It’s early. Coffee is already going down.

Sometimes you read a note and instantly connect with the people. Such is the case with many people on Nostr over the years.

Most arguments aren’t about truth. They’re about which fiction someone needs to believe. Your clarification won’t fix that. Stop explaining yourself to people who’ve already decided what you meant.

One cannot simply “demand” ANYONE be found GUILTY in this country. T Rob is presumed INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty BEYOND a reasonable doubt. That being said…there are a lot of doubts in this case. View quoted note →

Building the exit while ignoring the fire is not wisdom, it’s abandonment. Yes, we build. Yes, we create parallel systems. Yes, Bitcoin and Nostr represent genuine alternatives to corrupted institutions. But the idea that focusing on systemic abuse of children is somehow playing into “their” hands is a moral cop out dressed up as strategic thinking. You can frame a house while calling the fire department. You can plant a garden while still reporting the predator in your neighborhood. These are not competing priorities. They are complementary responsibilities. The children being trafficked and abused by elites are not a distraction from building a better world. They are the reason we build it. If our new systems are just escape pods for those privileged enough to understand Bitcoin while we turn our backs on the most vulnerable, then we have built nothing of lasting value. The powerful want silence, not attention. They want us looking away, not asking questions. They want us to accept that some crimes are too big to prosecute, some networks too connected to expose. Calling that acceptance “focus” is exactly the kind of rationalization that lets evil persist. We build the exit AND we kick down the door. Anything less is just building a nicer cage while pretending we found freedom. View quoted note →
