The European Mining Summit taking place in Helsinki on 23rd September - a collaboration between @BTCHEL 25.-26. SEPTEMBER and @npub1kvc5...3sty - is going to be awesome. We are building bridges between the worlds of mining, energy, and academia. Once energy and academia understand the potentials of flexible data centres to help solve the current problems faced by the European energy infrastructure, they will themselves push for the necessary regulatory framework to facilitate mining in Europe. One step at a time. The first panel on Europe's Energy Transition, moderated by @Daniel Batten, is the first of its kind - bringing together miners and 'net zero' proponents on one stage, to debate who should get to choose the winners of Europe's 'flexible demand' battle - the regulators or the market? Communism or capitalism? What does history teach us?

How come you are still expected to tip (18% here in Houston!) when in most restaurants you now have to scan the QR code on your table, wade through pages of up-selling, order your own food and make your own payment? I'll happily tip for some decent human interaction. Tis a sad world of zero human connectivity we are heading to. All in the name of 'convenience'.

Poor is the society that does not recognise the value of the homemaker who creates a home filled with love and peace.

Every baby is born a bundle of pure emotion. Instead of learning how to channel these emotions to become a healthy adult, we are taught - by parents, grandparents, circumstances, school, society, modern life ... - to suppress them rather than recognise, feel and channel them in a healthy way. When my emotions control me, rather than me being aware of and channelling them, I can not be my best self. If we as a society can achieve this ability, humanity will reach new heights. We will have nothing to fear from AI. It is our emotions that make us human. We just need to learn to embrace them. Feel them. Channel them. What an awesome time to be alive.

When women don't acknowledge and protect the sacred feminine, society degenerates. When women are in their feminine, men can be in their masculine. The devine feminine is the key to transformation.

Even our music has been taken over by porn. How did we go from 'I wanna hold your hand' to 'I wanna fuck you' in such a short space of time? Words matter.

Bitcoin is not 'the' solution, but it is a valuable tool to help me find a way to reach my personal idea of freedom. Holding Bitcoin without simultaneously striving towards my definition of sovereignty/freedom would be just owning an asset.

The one who tries to take what is mine is the criminal. Lest we forget.

History doesn't look kindly on those who follow stupid rules.

Good morning from Vezelay

Who are these arrogant 'ruling' sods who think they know better than I do what is best for my family and me? Even I don't know what's best for my family and me! But at least my trial and error approach is done with infinite love and pure intentions.

A sick society is one that measures your success by what you have on your bank account.

The Magna Carta. Written in 1215 by a bunch of barons pissed off by the heavy taxation by King John. Who forced the King to ratify it through threat of civil war. Arguably the most powerful document ever written. Whose influence is still found in many national constitutions today. The Bitcoin White Paper Written in 2008 by one or more cypher punks, pissed off by fiat money and the slow but steady erosion of individual privacy. Ratified by node runners the world over. Arguably the most powerful document ever written. Whose influence will be felt for centuries to come. Unless we fuck it up - by not understanding that we are all sovereign individuals first and foremost; - by not understanding that freedom/privacy trumps convenience; - by not understanding that there is no 'they' - unless we choose to relinquish our sovereignty to another human-being; - by being complacent. If we act accordingly, humanity can achieve the next level of civilsation. We live in the digital age so the journey to sovereignty starts with digital sovereignty. One step at a time. We've got this.
