Watched The Apprentice last night, a film about Roy Cohn/Trump connection. Its a great movie. I've been weirdly fascinated by Roy Cohn for years, something about him seems important. Glad they made a film about him. He was the precursor epstien NYC kompromat lizard, I always imagined that gig was somehow passed down to epstein from Cohn. Very dark human obsessed with power. 70s/80s NYC power elites were sketchy mofos

Just how useful digital payments (including bitcoin) are in a war scenario with limited Internet access breaks my maxiness. Sure keep little bottles of liqueur and cigarettes for bartering, but having stash of cash is prob a good play. In an unstable world can we afford to not have physical currency?

I need some quotes that pop for a nostr talk. Names known outside of bitcoin/nostr circles, the Dorsey, Snowden types. "nostr is etc etc" Anyone have anything juicy?

Finally watched the HBO doc. I always concluded the same. My evidence was, having been a teacher for 15 years pre-bitcoin, the tone of Hal Finney to Satoshi comms were very much mentor to young person, ol'Todd always fit the profile. Young upstart smushing technologies together and annoying a bunch of grey beards. I also loved the idea of Satoshi hiding in plain sight and travelling the globe trolling fuck out of bitcoiners. Certainly my fav possible Satoshi (not that any of it matters).

Today is 88th anniversary of Battle of Cable Street. Where anti-fascist alliance of East London Jews, Irish, and workers unions beat crap out of fascist Sir Oswald Mosley and his 1000s of blackshirts. After seeing horrors of WW2, uk Jewish vets refused for it to happen again. It was a violent attack on Moselys "free speach", yet it squashed the rise of another Hitler.

For adhoc anarchist collaboration (unconfs, idea sharing, event organising, etc) Chaos Pads by Chaos Computer Club is so damn useful. I've used it for years and love it so very much.
