Pre-1971, the Fed could print money, but only when a precedent made it palatable for the public (e.g.: war, after propaganda).
But then Nixon removed that filter, which didn't work anyway, and the rest is history.
Do we really want the equivalent of that for spam in Bitcoin?

As of today, no one has heard from Satoshi for 14 years (I'm not counting the suspicious "I am not Dorian Nakamoto" message).
What do you think he's been up to all this time?
Wrong answers only.
GM. Today is my last day of being 39.
Others at this age: "Oh, no! Tomorrow I'll be 'old'!"
Me: "So *this* is how long the Tribes of Israel wandered in the wilderness..."
Tomorrow I'll be 40. Bring it on.

Walking is now my 1-year-old's preferred mode of transportation. He is officially a toddler.
That makes him a toddler hodler (which rhyme, to me).
Meanwhile, on the defunct bird app:

At the end of each week, my wife talks with our kids about what they learned & accomplished that week so she can help them set new goals and hold them accountable for their goals from the past week. She's doing that right now.
She calls this "Proof of Work Day".
What a woman. ๐
My @npub1srsa...whlh finally arrived earlier today! It's now hashing at about 10TH/s, and cleaning the air around it! ๐คฉ
I tested it in my family room first, where the air quality was great, but now it's warming up my garage, where the air quality is, well...
...we call it ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ณ.



My youngest son started pulling books off our bookshelf earlier this evening. I think he's trying to tell me what he's interested in learning about.


My second son, Adam, is about to celebrate his 16th birthday, and this is the invitation he created.
No, you're sadly not invited to his birthday party, but it's so good, I had to share it here. ๐
It's best read in a "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" type of voice (e.g., "And the number to which thou shalt count shall be three").


$21 stamped and ready to go back into circulation!
Thanks, @npub1j8y6...vrvg!

I'm SO excited for the Bitcoin Beach Circular Economy Summit next week in #ElZonte, right before the Plan โฟ Forum in #SanSalvador! I'll be speaking there about @npub15xd2...t3l3 , and how we can use it to supercharge all our efforts in building, maintaining, and improving Bitcoin circular economies.
If you're going to be there, then let's meet up! ๐งก


GM! So happy to wake up to a world where a US president keeps his promises, and where Ross Ulbricht is finally free! ๐

Happy new year to everyone in the Chattanooga area, and the whole eastern US time zone! ๐
