I had my golden opportunity to purple pill 8-10 normies a few hours ago, when I was sitting around a fire at a neighbor’s last get together before they move out of town to an acreage. In attendance were a realtor, an environment ministry enforcement officer, a school teacher, an optometrist assistant, a school board administrator, a power engineer, a gym receptionist, a city clerk, a welder, and a hospital lab clerk. I had only ever met most of them in passing in the community. The host asked me what the logo was on my shirt. I said “It stands for Nostr.” So at that moment it was basically like a record scratching sound as everyone went silent and turned their attention toward me to hear my reply. Being a man of few words I said “It’s a communication protocol that cannot be censored.” And then stopped talking lol. It was like 5 seconds of silence and then one girl is like “Oh wow cool” and it was on to the next topic. I have to work on my elevator pitch. Just never expected to get the opportunity. Of course now I know hours later exactly what I would say. What is your elevator pitch? #asknostr #grownostr image

Hey Chris, great episode. I think your rebuttal of JL’s criticisms of Bitcoin was right on point. Another thing to consider is that, even for someone born in 1971, it was still 1989 before that person left high school, 1992-1994 before they exited post-secondary, and perhaps another ten years after that before their income achieved a level that started generating any positive flow. Especially if student debt was part of the equation. By 2004 we were already only 4 years short of the GFC. The last group of people that made it ten years into their careers before the Nixon shock were born in 1937. Makes your head spin. https://fountain.fm/episode/NYnqsqd7mDA2Irs4UdTp View quoted note →

Real inflation of USD when measured vs gold from 1971 to 2025 has been, on average, 8.4% compounding over 54 years. 8.4% compounded annually over 54 years equals a factor of approximately 106×, or about 10,500%. Stack #sats #bitcoin #grownostr

The family of Peregrine Falcons is back in the hood. A few generations have returned to this Poplar consistently for about the past 7 years. Sometimes when they are in mating season I will really piss off a few of the males and play Peregrine calls over my Bluetooth speaker. It always gets their attention lol. I really lucked out tonight and had my camera rolling when one did a low pass to check me out. #naturestr #raptors #grownostr image

A new experiment. Water glassing eggs. 29g of food grade Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2 dissolved in 1 quart of filtered water, poured over 16 eggs in a separate 2 quart jar. Vacuum sealed and placed in a cool, dark spot. I’m planning on opening it in six months and frying up a few. Not to be confused with the traditional Sodium Silicate method, Calcium Hydroxide seals the pores on the shell for medium term shelf stable storage of 6-12 months. #preserving #prepping #grownostr
