Last Notes npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, first day of the kid’s school holiday meaning no need to jump out of bed to get them fed and ready to go, but the directed mind had other thoughts, press-up in the cool morning air while the #coffeechain brews (body is screaming from the last two days, but NO DAYS OFF), and now loving the final chapters of #bushido with the alternate future. Considering a little road bike ride into the fiat mine this morning, really wondering how much progress I can make on learning about a sovereign AI agent for research, doubt anyone in work will be doing something similar. Feel behind the curve with all the bitcoiner’s Mac mini progress, but still likely a ways ahead of all the backwards academics who are still worried about students submitting better work than they can write!!!! Podcast line up this morning super strong, excited to hear an update from @nprofile…skgk , Pomp and Schiff are always fun and #bip110 wise, @nprofile…gj0z hopefully have a lot of explaining to do, regarding on staying in the central ground when both sides are putting the best up to bat……… oh, wait, did CSW just pick a side 🤦♂️ After all this, will be my main task to keep all three ladies being civil to each other, and prepare to just be the whipping boy, as @nprofile…jttu says, it can always be my fault!!!! https://blossom.primal.net/4a1d14f39b5f893e7ec0f6a24c2c12892ccd25b1d0f26ba74d9361fe31809741.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/9dd01a234ace66d68625495d92f02cc4d1a55cb24875f0c71b85c80f1f81e199.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Odell’s in a difficult position, supposedly he presents a level headed view, but given ten31 can’t invest in any projects that require changes to Bitcoin, he may be legally required to take a neutral position, either than or if one of the portfolio companies being knee capped by bip110, it makes sense. Will be interesting to see if anything is covered on this and Saylor’s new interest in protocol development will be discussed on RHR. But also, no discussion will also say a lot. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe @nprofile…6sez called saylor’s position on this in early 2025, he “owns” a shit ton of Bitcoin and until now, exactly how much has he contributed to the upkeep of the code that basically underpins his whole business. Oh wait, digital credit is the innovation here, my bad. To say the timing and nature of this change of heart would suggest this “nothingness” “low probability soft fork” has galvanised some action. If only it wasn’t quite so suitcoin oriented. “Free and open protocol”!!!! Self custody and short the suitcoin into the ground. 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/b8c1a3d6662c1445b5af937ada9511e3aa09be47a0e783daca0f2d249cafef35.jpg #nevent1q…x8ce npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Uk fully ungovernable.

The question of “why do men not live as long as women?” Was put to bed, although the secondary question of “why did the all women’s house stay unpainted and create a massive source of friction as no one wanted to pay for someone to come and paint it for them?” Had some additional data to consider. https://blossom.primal.net/e3c05fb654c4705345003255fefb258c22ec77c0be49cac95e0a73a5d212dc29.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe And you can’t see much changing moving forward, other than central banks buying their own bonds, more #nevent1q…ucnz npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Great show @nprofile…flvp with @nprofile…2wp4, keeping the #bip110 stuff to one side - just run #v29 limit op_returns and show core than they can’t take the piss - but #orangejuice related, LOVE IT, this is the way for Bitcoin investment funds, give the revenue generating business owners some cash/equity in hand and help them start stacking……. Father went through the whole private equity route to help accelerate growth and when the market turned the changes in payout nearly took all his equity, this approach would have been a god send for him, well, if I could have convinced him Bitcoin was the best savings approach, but then that’s down to be having difficulty articulating anything outside the written format. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/stephan-livera-podcast/id1415720320 https://primal.net/Dug/Re-thinking-the-bitcoin-treasury-first-mover-2qolhv npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, “In any given material circumstances what can be done or said to soundest effect? Whatever that is, it is in your power to do it or say it - and make no pretence of ‘obstacles in the way’. You will never cease loaning until you experience the same kind pleasure in making an appropriate human response to any circumstance you meet or face as the hedonist does in his indulgence - a response, that is, in keeping with man’s constitution.” Book 10 verse 33 meditations. Deep breath, love and honest life, to yourself first and then to those around you. Another day up ladders, finishing off making the homestead a little better looking with a little garden tidying thrown into the mix. But if you follow the anti #bip110 crowd, keeping one’s garden tidy is both a waste and harmful. Each to their very own, but I’ll then go for drinks at a bip-110’s garden party all day every day. To much to get into in this photo……. Orgons, mediations, bushido, turmeric, holy crap, I’m a bit complicated https://blossom.primal.net/69b0864239d918832a7af7f3c0691c8841646ed3f2e451642283c482089b6d33.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe And so, the rise of the United soviet state of GB began with cheers for the price cap of public transport. No one was aware, the only way that would work was more public money plowed into failing businesses or the reduction in quality of services, in both cases the bosses of these companies never needed to take “their” buses. Rent and food price gaps were to follow, the socialising in the queues for bread were the high points of people’s days, particularly when there was no bread available once they reached the front of the line. https://blossom.primal.net/f0d1c2cb6fa600db780b0679236e90a469a5c5a903570e04b03564bb92b6d12c.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe My efforts to pull weeds from my garden can be viewed as a game of whack a mole, but I still pull weeds. If I could put a filter in to reduce the amount of weeds coming into my garden, I’d use that filter. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Another awesome @nprofile…q4m4 pod with @nprofile…hg4r, #bip110, not a classic intelligence test, but maybe a proof of work test for all those node runners polishing their self sovereignty halos, without really asking why. Have you actually explored what it is and what it might do and what not updating might do. Ngl, the chain split is a concern but it has happened before and will likely happen again, it may happen but what is important is how everyone learns from the experience. The risk management perspective for the public miners can’t be overlooked (Luke’s the man for this). Is your profitability where @nprofile…4xe3 ‘s is? if not, you’re neglecting your fiduciary duty and also introducing risks of mining on an orphaned chain, also those could happen either way, but cutting out bit op_return would just reduce this risk. Finally, very low brow, but the whole “it’s a database” crowd, why are they so keen on storing non financial data on the proof of work chain? https://fountain.fm/episode/wrJmQl2XPOWsK9WRCBos https://blossom.primal.net/533889a3a8497e1614458d1dc63c756bc18df967296f1fb3a5a41a626402351c.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Was very strange and almost obviously a “look over there” with the blind eye being turned to quite a blatant “dodgy religion celebration”. Boggles the mind the amount to allowances they give a commie compared to any middle aged man in a St George’s cross shirt. Yo Bobby on the beat, stop listening to your “unconscious bias” training, the bias is clear as day! 🫡🙌 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe A round of applause for @nprofile…arvg , showing great integrity in the face of what looked like a dream position at the top of a heavy weight combination of players in the FIC. Cheers @nprofile…7n4r for the breakdown and the reminder of a time, not a month ago when such thoughts crossed my mind. To quote @nprofile…gzr3 , integrity is something, once lost, you can’t buy back, so credit to you for showing that your aim of a real “Bitcoin business” was more important than just simply juicing the fiat market to consolidate Bitcoin into the hands of the suits. https://blossom.primal.net/f3e349c81724cc0370f0faeeb68a4a30765b70ef95acaa7b239464d0b326d44e.jpg #nevent1q…28za npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe And all released, weirdly the specific type of event is banded in Islamic countries, but appear fair game in the uk.

While obviously not connected, maybe the need to refocus on just stacking our own cold storage staff is the way forward and Bitcoin treasury companies can just go over there and do their fiat thing. https://primal.net/Dug/Re-thinking-the-bitcoin-treasury-first-mover-2qolhv npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Absolutely, had a clip, and really should have added that it was meant with good humour. 🫡🙌 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Sorry, but opinions on everything!!!!

Back into the fiat mine for a shorter week as have some time booked to attempt to give the house a lick of paint…… my day off to work on the house? Just a rite of passage of being the man of the house getting shit done and others will only comment on not being done but never get done. But before then, another Monday, another piece to write, this week a little unusual, a “what could have been”, with some spread sheets and numbers thrown into the mix, having had a little inspiration and nudge for @nprofile…45tu and the new Orange Juice venture, an idea so good, I started thinking it through a little while back, and they’ve been doing the same. #coffeechain with the tomatoes on a lovely cool morning. https://blossom.primal.net/66518ca8dd0b49ef3943cf88e87b42b4c5411bae117dad2989e4e0fea9f5a019.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe And then checked that you’re doing it right, by people who were never capable on the first place…….

Against Argentina, terrified of losing doing what ever it took to not lose but also being trapped by the fear. Last night, without the expectation of a nation of sofa experts and stupid pundits saying “this is our year” they could just relax, and play, and play well. It’s not about conceding less goals (taking an L here or there), it’s about scoring more goals (shooting for the stars and being fine you’ll miss). Trapped by the fear of losing the comfortable fiat existence, losing “that good pension”, it will trap you in a loser mindset. I worry I have that loser mindset in some elements of my life, but I also have (and need to believe more) the confidence that I have the capability and resources to get through some discomfort. Discomfort for the match with Argentina, freedom to fail was the match with France. I didn’t watch either, it’s just bread a circuses, but I’m taking this lesson and time to pursue more “failures” #coffeechain and #dogstr walk looking like a big win in my very near future though. She’s up for it. https://blossom.primal.net/096727819fde43e1927b8e7a94a781a084ce96e66a5f0e71b26f8bf8f7104119.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ea1bbb9c07e9414a039489f257c16d0fc6030fdc9da55dc508d36b9c9293f136.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Medium of exchange through time, but also https://primal.net/Dug/More-attention-is-needed-on-interactions-go-up-technology-gg5rg4 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe She’s willing to read some stuff I write, hmmm, maybe for edition 3, I should explore the pharma rabbit hole a little……… npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Wild, hoping I’m slowly moving my mother into some freer thinking, but she loves a good dose!!!! npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gn nostriches, back in wales, kids causing issues with their “nuances” that I hear makes them endearing.

As long as Satoshi stays on the run, the myth goes on.” Humanyun and Belk (2018) Kind of a weird paper about authorship and the identity of Satoshi, but also kinda cool. One thing that was certainly established was Craig Wright is not Satoshi, but also the emergence of new “prophets” that could be Satoshi strangely mirrors the idea that Bitcoin in a way is similar to other religions where new prophets emerge and profess that they have the “true message of God/Satoshi”. Also, stay humble, don’t let your Bitcoin religion become too dogmatic, stay open to new ideas, while to Socio part (Hayes 2019) may determine how Bitcoin can integrate with our lives, underneath it all, while important, it is still simply better money, and what we build upon that base it was is most important. https://blossom.primal.net/013b56136781016229e7535c98e6a3aa6c95937695f3c22820f3e5e7ecac02ce.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/a3fb199fdbb4590d41207267278d63316063e0a2366efcd4c43e3db57436ceee.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Immigrants are not the problem, the politicians that don’t understand the problem and my pseudo clever friend simping for them are.

Hoping (although some weirdness last night, didn’t follow “protocol”) to head off to see my mother this evening. Plans for chilling out in the Welsh fresh air and sunshine, do some stomping in the countryside, maybe not even both with the “walk” part of heading out, come on girls, let’s go explore. Steak, sweet potatoes and some wine 🍷 to support the mother in the continued healing process but most importantly, giving her some time with the granddaughters. Me, maybe finishing off #bushido, maybe even manage that within 3 weeks. As a monumentally slow reader, that is quite the compliment to @nprofile…jttu !!!! Yesterday, a book I wrote was released, sent it around to a few people, including my cousins who I have given sats and #satscards to, in a bundle with another book, to the one who I’ve already gifted the Bitcoin standard, #meditation, he needs a bit more focus and discipline in his 30 year old New Yorker life, the one who will be able to borrow this, newly married and home owner, the fiat standard (time to crush his home owner dreams?), and to the medic of the three, a copy of Fiat food, he has so much opportunity to make a difference by saying no to big pharma). Now to wait and see what they say. @nprofile…ymp3 your copy should be arriving today. 🫡🙌 https://blossom.primal.net/73527aa4c19f0b37ce4f4e9432f32d6588e8fb051f5f64bbecaef81e3d2da8dc.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe @nprofile…p4d9 darn, reference was to @nprofile…l5l0 and Bitcoin is Venice, oh and my own little piece https://primal.net/Dug/More-attention-is-needed-on-interactions-go-up-technology-gg5rg4 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Like the bottom up building of social capital to offset the top down fiat system that has been build to achieve the impossible and is ultimately so brittle. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Weird reposting my own reply to @nprofile…pps7 but I think relevant. https://images.meme-arsenal.com/075d7b347ed763124cd2fb76b3903d08.jpg #nevent1q…3pcf npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Just search up iatrogenic.

Ah well, at least there are now a couple of #catstr s slinking around the place and some fiat mining to be done, booked in all the “holidays” over the summer, so only in there for 2 days of August, if only someone else did the work in my absence………. No one else can prepare my nostr ranks!!!!! Take it easy freaks. https://blossom.primal.net/06e3c4845cb0bb35f8ba0d7e718a724ce657e86830e3c649191816057868db6a.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Looking into the summer doldrums last year and while it didn’t help me trade to perfection (such a bad trader), it was at least interesting and beat the boredom of the fiat mine during the summer months. First realisation was that the post post halving summer was the bear market, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026, so looking at the pattern of the summer, normalising for the price on the 1st of June was helpful. Better than 2022 with the 3 arrows fall out, and relatively similar to 2018 and a little worse than 2014. But I often hear that the bear is made by the preceding bull, and given the bull was not a strong as we’d hoped, maybe the bear will be more muted. So let’s look at the summer price action of the bear markets are portion of all time highs….. 2026 matches weirdly close to 2014, which given 2015 was the only year where sentiment was worse than today, this can’t be a good sign, was 2014 even considered the bear market? It just a pre bear for the years of carnage to follow? Worrying this graph shows which ever graph we look at, we have a whole month of August with limited liquidity, ready for another “bear whale” to rear its head and truly find a new bottom (that would not be until October, if it was to mirror 2014), that people are so keen (including myself) to say we’ve made or even made in February. The bottom will be found only once sellers have truly been exhausted. Sell in May and go away could be a thing, but while there is so much bad sentiment, there are likely a good few entities that feel they can get a better entry. I for one won’t play into the hands of tax authorities to get hold of my capital gains I could make while opening the kimono of my stack and will also move out of MSTR, because if bitcoin gets hit, that will just crater (already at my entry point after 5 years). Even if there is a 2019 summer bull trap, happy to play this one out and get back into MSTR locked fiat speculation in September, with my cold storage still out of the light of the Eye of Sauron. https://blossom.primal.net/fae2e8a9e4aaa856804509e6bd062ad9608d49cdbde78fcbe64e4cf207ffd6b0.png https://blossom.primal.net/3dff68ca7e619d3553850979c7df3daad038be7c0a35065592f8874c7a8f634e.png npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe My bad, I sent 1000sats and you asked for 1991 sats.

Got cracking on a piece yesterday afternoon and got the bulk of it sorted during the hour the eldest was swimming yesterday evening. Going to work on some diagrams and obviously a few AI images to bring in some visuals. Reckon there is space for a Venn diagram, with the remnant, recalcitrant but open minded, paranoid Bitcoin sitting at the sweet spot. We may be the minority, but that may be fine and if we can position ourselves in relation to various other groups, we may be better placed to begin supporting a transition. Also, writing this really made me want to sell more mstr, sorry @nprofile…jtjc , even if I found out mstr does run a full node, I still don’t think you using it for sending your “own” bitcoin to exchanges, and does he old his own coins and if so, on what?

Do my damndest to calm the eldest down, super chilled but not quite enough when she finds out I also have to look after the ignored sick feeling youngest. Calm and relax the youngest, give her a cuddle, tell her everything will be alright, grab her pillows and make space for her in my bed, which ultimately was still the wrong thing to do for the eldest.
