@#[0] is a billionaire working to better social media with Nostr and Society with Bitcoin. Elon Musk is a billionaire working to worsen social media with Twitter and Society with Dogecoin. See the difference?

Really tired of certain Crypto Bros and now Musk put Dogecoin icon in place of the Twitter Bird? Time to flip the bird to Nostr.

The miracle of Proof of Work (PoW). Software + Hardware + Electricity = The only Energy encrypted Immutable Hard Money on the planet. #[0]

PoW is essential - A failure to understand proof of work is a failure to understand Bitcoin. | dergigi.com

Thoughts about Bitcoin and other things.

<snip> To summarize: proof of work is not only useful but absolutely essential. Trustless digital money can't work without it. You always need an anchor to the physical realm. Without this anchor, a truthful history that is self-evident is impossible. Energy is the only anchor we have. Proof of Work (PoW) = trust physics to determine what happened. Proof of Stake (PoS) = trust humans to determine what happened. Addendum: I have a lot of sympathy for everyone who thinks that Bitcoin is wasteful. I thought so too, and I had to shift my perspective. Like most people, I didn’t know anything about (sound) money. Addendum, part two: The problem of agreeing on a common time in an adversarial decentralized system can't be solved precisely, not even in theory. Proof of work is a practical, probabilistic solution to this intractable problem. ====== Saylor: (Image) Filling the PoW Bathtub here, send me anything you want in here (i.e. I hate the graphic I found) https://bitcoinapolis.blogspot.com/2023/03/bitcoin-proof-of-work-pow-is-secret.html

#[0] is teaching the world, "put your money where your math is."

Fiat Green versus Bitcoin Orange. Greenpeace, backed by banks/people , emotion and fear. Orangepeace backed by computers/AI, math and logic. "Damn it feels bad to be a Bankster."

You have to look up people to see their true motivation. Today, the guy Bitcoin Maxis need to laser microscope is Norway's Rolf Skar sounding the BItcoin Alarm from a GreenPeace lens. A year ago was this article:

Greenpeace

Ending&#x20;the&#x20;Climate&#x20;Crisis&#x20;-&#x20;Greenpeace&#x20;-&#x20;Greenpeace

We’re in a climate crisis and the oil, gas, and coal industry is to blame. It’s time to put people above fossil fuels and act on climate.

nothing has changed except BItcoin mining is even greener. The craziest point is it sounds like Rolf understands Bitcoin but puts in this line: "There are lots of opinions about Bitcoin. Is it a good investment? Is this the future of money, or is it all a scam? We are not weighing in on those questions. " Me: That is the entire point, you HAVE to answer those questions to understand that the POW that needs all the non-carbon-emission electricity guards our money whether at $1 or a $1,000,000,000 we get the same protection and that is POW. Go after the banking industry as it uses 56 times more iceberg melting energy than Bitcoin. But wait, where is the money trail GreenPeace? Can you open your ledgers to us like Bitcoin does? Good Lord, giant asteroid 2024? Come on, man. Do some research.

Side Comment: How many sirens do you need to hear before you look out the window to see the real threat? Listen to Jack Maller's recently, expertly with the right passion, explain the crushing financial implications explain not seeing the smoke and fire on CNBC.

First of all, Bitcoin Maxis didn't get here overnight, most of us took the same path as you. We started not understanding 'Crypto' and are now clearly in the Bitcoin Only camp. But the kicker is, we can back it up. That is the difference between Bitcoin and Crypto. BItcoin is backed by math (machines/numbers) and Crypto is backed by emotions (humans/words.)  No one is 'selling' you on Bitcoin, we can explain it to you but not understand it for you, but just know the smartest and best minds are on board with Bitcoin. It's not for one reason and certainly not for 'get rich quick' but you have to take the time. Perhaps starting with all the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt)? Bitcoin maxis say, "there is no second best." But why is that? Because every other 20,000+ Crypto Coin was spawned from Mother Bitcoin. What does that mean? It means they (humans) took the perfect code to try and tweak it to make it better, when in fact it was, and still is, already perfect. The things Crypto are trying to fix are what makes Bitcoin what it is and why it is at the top.  You have to dig, we are not here to sell you on Bitcoin, we just want you to study it.  This is not a "get a cup of coffee" and learn about Bitcoin. Just like you were forced to take Driver's Ed to learn to drive, you need to learn about Bitcoin. My profession is to turn data into information, but you as a human take it to knowledge then to power. With Bitcoin, you are the CFO of your family and you are the bank. Again, this is coffee cup 10,000. But we can help you get there faster. (Not easy reading, it takes effort but man alive when you see the Orange Bitcoin light?) I have organized about 500 hours in one post. This is not an accident. As a 26 year National Level Cancer Patient advocate, that was no accident but I had to put 10,000 hours of volunteer hours in order to go toe to toe with the best cancer researchers in the world. From Medicine, to IRBs, to Insurance...Cancer rocks you to your physical, mental, spiritual, and financial core. Luckily, Bitcoin is only about the last one. Finances. In the scheme of life that is nothing and that is why Bitcoin is my hobby. To help with the ridiculousness of our Debt addicted society and to help prepare you family in case of that one bad blood test we all unfortunately have a chance to get. Here is my post, it is all linked, it shows how  1) Bitcoin FUD is Irrational 2) How the Energy Use Debate is off mark compared to the benefits 3) How there is Friction going after World Currencies but start with Store of Value 4) Why Bitcoin is the only Digital Commodity (the SEC is battling with the waffling CFTC but this will have to go to the courts. I am putting why the best minds in Bitcoin think Bitcoin is the only or at least most sound digital commodity.) 5) Why Bitcoin is better than gold One Bitcoin post, with links to everything else:platform

#[0] one of my favorite things about you is your mastery of language/ Bitcoin language. I would like your opinion on what I think needs more attention\daily exposure and would help explain Bitcoin to the masses. Most people in the world understand VOIP and what it did/does. Why isn't there more discussion on MOIP or Money Over Internet Protocol? This is exactly what Bitcoin (via Lightning) is and Nostr is a perfect use case to explain it? https://www.microstrategy.com/en/world-2023/bitcoin-for-corporations

Bitcoin mining goes Nuclear, nice work TeraWulf.

Bitcoin: "Not your keys, not your coins." NOSTR: "Not your keys, not YOU."

In the past, it was all about mining the data, the numbers, the charts, the graphs. This next iteration of the web5 we are witnessing here and elsewhere is about mining WORDS. What is the conclusion, don't show the charts in some stupid, boring AF, slide deck. What happened in the mice, the people, what about Bitcoin aside from price over time. What is the synopsis, in words. This is why ChatGPT (Note Chat = Language not Numbers) and why this new OpenAI "Whisper" API are big deals. We need to bombard the naysayers of Bitcoin/NOSTR with accurate words as we chat with them, not as inanimate robots but as animated humans. "Fix the money, Fix the world. Fix the Social Media, Fix the hate."
