Sats on sale

It was nice to reconnect with family over the holidays. Growing up you realize how rare lifelong friendships are and it's such a privilege to be born with some. We even made plans to hike Katahdin in the spring! (And yes, I got drunk and shilled Bitcoin)

To all my Zeus peeps, I probably tried to zap you on posts I reacted to but I'm using Mutiny lol. I'm going to reevaluate the clients I use when I have my full node and Core Lightning up and running (78% of the blockhain downloaded). Its a shame two of the coolest and self-cusyody-friendly lightning clients have interoperability problems at this point in time.

Overlaps between the #FOSS, #Bitcoin, and #Marxism movements, just food for thought: 1. Protecting the plebs from the extractive practices of the elite - data collection being the main concern of FOSS, theft through inflation for Bitcoin, and theft of surplus value in the sphere of productive economy for Marxism 2. Collectivization of vital resources - FOSS collectivizes code, Bitcoin collectizes the transaction ledger, both reading and writing it, and Marxism collectivizes industry. 3. Sustainability - is one of the highest virtues of all three movements, and all three try to combat the unsustainable practices of the capitalist system as it actually exists in its current fiat state in their own ways 4. Common Enemy - big tech, mega corporations, rent seekers, cantillionaires, the fed, the deep state, the Bourgeoisie. These all describe a very tiny set of people and all three movements agree these are the bad guys. 5. Class Consciousness - Not only is knowledge of who is the common enemy stressed, all three movements ascribe tremendous importance on raising the level of EDCUCATION and SELF SUFFICIENCE of the average person, as all three view these as vital prerequisites for any sort of democratic system to succeed. Say what you want about socialism in practise vs socialism on paper (socialists themselves don't even agree on this), the only assertion I'm trying to make here is that there's a lot the ways of these movements share way more in common than people on both sidesbifbthe political specyrum let on. Maybe one day I'll write a heady and technical article about why Karl Marx would've been a Bitcoiner and why Bitcoiners today should study his writings but for now suffice it to say that everyone's lumping a lot of potential allies in with the bad guys. Marxists lump Bitcoiners in with crypto shills and VC scumbags and Bitcoiners lump Marxists in with Democrats and the growing surveillance states and nanny states. Another example of us fighting each other while they laugh.

If I wanted to switch from blockstream green to sparrow, and use the same hardware device as the keysigner, would I be able to just import my private key to do so? #asknostr #Bitcoin

Downloading Bitcoin Core on my Start9 server now XD

Sooo... Is #ark the move??

The #Degoogle and #FOSS movements are about so much more than privacy to me. Its's also about opting out of a digital economy where every UI and every algorithm views me only as a raw material to be extracted, and reclaiming control over my attention span.

I'm thinking I'm gonna actually go through with running my own node, I've been looking into it for a minute and it seems manageable. Before I impulse buy a start9 server, does anyone have any better suggestions?

My small town local bank app works on graphene but cash app doesn't that's so weird lol

Will #Bitcoin fix this?

Installing GrapheneOS rn 🤞

All this freedom tech makes me wish I was an IT nerd all my life, I have so much catching up to do!

Me trying to orange pill my friend

As someone who has identified as everything from a libertarian to an anarchist to a Marxist-Leninist, nothing has come along in my lifetime that showed as much potential to break up the old ossified power structures we're stuck in as #Bitcoin. What happens after is a whole other question though
