This is why I use #Bitcoin. This is why I have devoted my life to teaching whoever will listen (which is a depressingly small number) all about sound money. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿

Why I don't miss Twitter:

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆, 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺! Every August 1st, Bitcoiners celebrate the reality that it is the 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘴 -- not the miners, or the exchanges, or the extremely wealthy -- who control Bitcoin. 6 years ago today, Bitcoin proved once and for all that it could not be co-opted or corrupted. On this day in 2017, Bitcoiners showed those who thought they had all the power that Bitcoin is not a democracy, but an anarchy, with rules but no rulers, dependent on the choice of the 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭 to run its protocol, not the collective.

From the #Bitcoin group on Telegram: Secp256k1 is the name of the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin to implement its public key cryptography. All points on this curve are valid Bitcoin public keys. Here it is visualized: From me: Every public key Is on this line; One is Satoshi's, And one is mine.

It may not be on the mountain height Or over the stormy sea, It may not be at the battle’s front My Lord will have need of me. But if, by a still, small voice he calls To paths that I do not know, I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine: I’ll go where you want me to go. 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘢; 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥; 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦. Perhaps today there are loving words Which Jesus would have me speak; There may be now in the paths of sin Some wand’rer whom I should seek. O Savior, if thou wilt be my guide, Tho dark and rugged the way, My voice shall echo the message sweet: I’ll say what you want me to say. 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘢; 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥; 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦. There’s surely somewhere a lowly place In earth’s harvest fields so wide Where I may labor through life’s short day For Jesus, the Crucified. So trusting my all to thy tender care, And knowing thou lovest me, I’ll do thy will with a heart sincere: I’ll be what you want me to be. 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘢; 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥; 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦. -Mary Brown

"Everyone is weird. And if you're not weird, then that's what makes you weird." -Me to my 9-year-old daughter earlier today, after she said I was weird 😆

GM, Nostr fam. In addition to leaving Twitter, I just left MeWe, as well, which is a centralized social media platform built around the ideals of privacy and freedom of speech (similar to Parlor, Gab, and others). Late last year, MeWe's CEO announced that they were partnering with Polkadot, in order to store MeWe's data on their web3 💩coin platform. A lot of 💩coiners also recently started dominating the discussions in the Bitcoin group there. And lately, I've barely been using MeWe anyway, due to being so busy at work, and preferring to use Nostr instead, so I felt like the time was right to leave. I'm supremely grateful that Nostr is here, so I can focus on having the social networking experience that I've always wanted. 💜🤙
