Public holiday, banks closed, can't find my bank card, out of cash, places to Drive, nobody takes Bitcoin, what you going to do?
Buy a gift card online vía bitrefill with Lightning and a burner email. Seamless, so simple, using #Bitcoin lightning to buy fuel.
Yet another example of the power of this incredible Payment system.
Semana Santa in Spain, a time for reflection and a perfect setting for a murder-mystery.
No mystery when one of millions of city folks Who descend on small villages and dusrupt Life beyond all recognition ends up pinned to one of the many crosses traipsed around town on elaborate processions of religious scenes carried on the shoulders of shuffling pious-for-a-day bank managers, industrialists and other purveyors of unholy daily doom.
Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale nailed It right 1000 years ago. A highly recommended read for all children before enduring communion classes.
And oh, literally breaking main headline on the #Spain news: clerics apologise for systemic sexual abuse of children by the church.
You really couldnt write this level of depravity and hypocrisy – although I have a jolly good try in the #OlgaSejeHansen thrillers. Download a sample few chapters from my bio, and let your hair down.
And remenber, It would be so much harder for people in positions of power – bankers, churches, elite hangers-on and their dressed-in-blue enforcers – to get away with what they do, if we were on a Bitcoin Standard.
Happy Easter

I've turned into a lurker. Not a good sign for a creator.
Apart from build quality, not much good to say about iPhones. Returning to Android such a relief, not pummeled for signing in and justifying my existence.
I guess It Will get as restrictive as Apple at some point. What's the free world producing by way of phones? #asknostr
There's no concept of Doom scrolling on Nostr. At least that's my take away. Even in the global feed theres so much positive news and ideas to move the world forward. #asknostr
You'd think Id learnt how to deal with other people projecting their issues onto others, but It still takes it's toll when you are accused of having someone else's faults. It's a mad world. Relax, take a Deep Breath and think clearly, before playing into the horrible culture of the day - you agree with me or you are against me. Whatever 👍
I have an unhealthy relationship with poetry. There, I said the unthinkable out loud.
Verses and stanzas make me edgy and turn me illterate.
Limericks are OK, I can grasp what they are trying to say.
Recently I was dragged over the coals by a music fan because I owned Up that I don't even listen to lyrics, the tune is what hooks me in. That must also tie into my brain fart over anything containing a hint of poetics.
I think this aversion to the more arty creative side of language use hearkens back to the days of learning Latín. Call me old-fashioned, but layering four years of arcane grammar on top of metred Gallic Wars killed poetry for me.
In fact while I'm at It, I can say that state education from 11 to university killed my love of reading for pleasure, period. How can that be right? Rather than read, I write.

Titanic struggles, blistering speed, handling skills, brutal tackles, non-stop action...recipe for action thrillers and rugby Union. This game today was insane.
How fucked Up is the #Bitcoin community? The wonderful stat that says 80% of holders are underwater. The greatest stat behind BTC? Anyone who bought in at sub 69k did OK. Fed Up with the pussy footing. You do know that BTC is the most incredible money ever invented? Use It as money. How hard is It to grasp that BTC is money... gillipollas.
Has anyone said outloud Nostr Dms are really bad, or a reflection of really bad etiquette? I speak as someone Who had 10 x the followers (Twitter) of the pretentious dicks on Nostr. Provocative enough?
The travel industry intermediaries are on borrowed time - even more than already....
