Yes, I get it, and I can see your points. I can also see why what can be called oversimplification is necessary to get the message across to a wider audience. And, let's be honest, the topic of finance is quite simple: there are assets and instant settlement on the one hand, and there is credit, expectations, and trust on the other. If you and I make a bet today to be settled in the future, we can both still handle it. If one of us is then going to sell his expected earnings from the bet to another man who packages it into a product with a cool name and a good rating,g and if then, many years later, your own pension fund bundles that product into your package .... only then it becomes complicated, opaque, nobody's fault, nobody's responsibility. So in my humble view, the financial mess out there totally justifies simplification in selected spots. But I get your point :-) ... and The Gold Standard may not be a good birthday present for you :-)

Halfway through @npub1gdu…6nak' The Gold Standard, I’m intrigued by its novel genre and delighted by how gripping it is. Without giving away too much, the takeaway for me is this: When the status quo drifts too far from reality, imagining—and building—a better one stops being optional.

"Yet the stupidity and senselessness of the war were no impediments to the Kaiser abusing his central bank to finance fighting insane, expensive, pointless wars that were irrelevant to his people in his pursuit of grandeur. Via round. about ways, the German people’s savings were to finance the war effort." @nprofile…6g5h - in "The Gold Standard". You can replace "the Kaiser" with any of President, Prime Minister, King, Queen, The Government and the sentence would still hold. Since hundreds of years. This got to end.

Bitcoin is the best chance to get our lives back into our own hands. People here probably know this. But then, people in control surely know this too, and they will try everything to steal your Bitcoin. Buying, selling, and owning Bitcoin, while ethically and morally clean, may become illegal at some point and for some time. True system change will happen only if we are prepared to hold on to our Bitcoin in such a scenario.

Was thinking about "logic" in biology while reading Nick Lane's book "Power, Sex, Suicide" (ignore the catchy title; it's a great book). Not every logic applied by someone who studies nature is automatically bio-logic. In summary and retrospect, I would say that most of the logic I have used in my years in biology was math, physics, or engineering logic. Very little was truly bio-logic. Nick Lane, by contrast, argues very logically that bacterial design prevented them from growing and evolving the complexity of the higher organisms that surround us today. What I am trying to say is this: determine and address the root question (challenge) in what you do as early and as rigorously as possible.

I have been driving a Tesla Model 3 for 5 years (bought it right after Tesla announced it had added Bitcoin to its balance sheet). A great car, very reliable. But I wonder why Tesla would constantly nag you about driving a little bit too fast, breaking a little too late (like having grandma on the passenger seat), or watching something else for 5 seconds when you are alone on the road, _and_ refusing to re-activate the USD 7k full-self-driving package after ignoring their nanny advice for a few times (happened to a friend). All this while Elon is spearheading sovereignty and free speech. Drove a Taycan the other day just to see that all the nanny functions can easily be switched off using the standard user interface.

In the late 80ies and early 90ties I spent all my time on molecular and cellular biology which earned me a PhD in the natural sciences. This is not a bragging exercise but the preamble to a book recommendation. Granted I studied three decades ago, it is nevertheless amazing how much more clarity and insights I get from Nick Lane‘s books. Had he been my professor then I might never have gone down the software engineering path, might have missed Bitcoin altogether 😬. So, if you have a friend or family member who studies biology - here is the perfect gift 🍀. #biology #mitochondria #energy #life #genesis

I find it both fascinating and surprising how much of the publishing world (including posts and podcasts) is increasingly synchronized daily, with ideas starting with a thought leader on one end of the world and ending with a poll among the people on the other within 24 hours. I admire people who take the time to breed their own ideas to fruition. And I need to remind myself to be more critical of what I read, even if it sounds compelling at first: do I really want to read, digest, and adopt it? Or do I let it pass?

Keep in mind that I have never used BTCPay Server, which is widely used to enable businesses to accept Bitcoin. It is worth looking into. I am currently using LNbits with a CLN funding source. A straightforward setup is to use the TPoS extension in LNbits. It is a point-of-sale interface that accepts manual price entries in FIAT and generates a Lightning invoice QR code. For a more elaborate setup, you can add on-chain payments with the "Onchain Wallet" extension; it uses your xpub to generate payment addresses/QR codes. I have recently integrated on-chain or lightning payment with the WooCommerce plugin for WordPress. With an LNbits account and the "Onchain Wallet" extension, you can incorporate Bitcoin payment in WooCommerce using its LNbits extension. Re-reading my note, it feels like it was easier to get it running than to explain how I did it 😅

In his book "Scale", Geoffrey West, takes a close look at Biology using the physics toolbox and finds fascinating patterns. Did you know that the hearts of all mammals beat approximately 1.5 billion times? The heart beat rate gets slower as the weight of the animal grows, with heavier animals therefore living correspondingly longer. According to the data compiled in the book, this rule also applied to us, homo sapiens, up to about 1800. Thanks to the technological and societal improvements, our hearts now beat 2.5 billion times on average.
A second finding was that all mammals consume approximately 300 food calories per gram of body mass throughout their entire lifespan. This was also true for us humans before we started agriculture, and our energy flux corresponded to about 100 watts. Since then, it has grown to about 11'000 watts, almost as much as that of a whale.
Suppose unconstrained Darwinian evolution were the only mechanism at play then we would not expect to see "constants" like the one's above. We would see a continuum of values. It was this discrepancy that led West to the research and the findings published in the book that I am not going to leak here, of course.

... even Freud admitted that reducing human behavior to unconscious drives could sometimes miss the obvious truth. He famously said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”
A man is shaving with a straight-edged razor when the razor drops out of his hands and lops off his penis. He gathers it up, stuffs it in his pocket, rushes outside and hails a cab, telling the driver to get him to the emergency room fast.
There he tells the surgeon what happened and the surgeon says, “We'll have to work quickly. Give it to me.”
The man reaches into his pocket and deposits its contents in the surgeon's hand.
“But this is a cigar,’ says the surgeon, “not a penis!”
And the man says, “Oh, my God, | must have smoked it in the cab.”

The concepts of being "antifragile" or going "long vol" comes to mind:
"The reason that being healthy and robust equates with greater variance and larger fluctuations, and therefore a larger fractal dimension as in an EKG, is closely related to the resilience of such systems. Being overly rigid and constrained means that there isn’t sufficient flexibility for the necessary adjustments needed to withstand the inevitable small shocks and perturbations to which any system is subjected. Think of the stresses and strains your heart is exposed to every day, many of which are unexpected." Copied from the book "SCALE" by Geoffrey West.

I am working on my local AI setup (getting all of Supermicro, Nvidia, Ubuntu, Ollama, and AnythingLLM to talk efficiently to each other), which is very exciting. However, this kind of work also hijacks my speech center, so I'll just share a picture of my recent trip to Berlin. https://cdn.satellite.earth/d90e8e9715efcdce54f27a42bf076b19e785804feb2e13885052509076f9859b.jpg

Freedom is everything. Few people can survive without it and stay positive and constructive; you seem to be one of those few. Amazing 🍀 Last week I visited the "Stasi-Museum" in Berlin (https://www.stasimuseum.de/en/enindex.htm). Even while visiting a museum, I could feel (or imagine) how the lack of freedom was sucking out vital energy. Unfortunately, the value of freedom is often abstract unless one experiences its loss. Thank you for sharing your story.

Absolutely, he rememberd he had an old wallet on the phone - in the current fee environment it could not be easier. And we had a nice chat waiting for the first confirmation.

This week @npub1864…t2tq was serving me well again when I bought a pair of fabulous shoes at Atheist Shoes in Berlin (https://btcmap.org/map#17/52.52509/13.40130). When I told the owner that I thought it was very cool that he was accepting Bitcoin, he said that he no longer does because there were very few customers buying with Bitcoin, and that his service provider had terminated the service. Ten minutes later, he was gladly accepting Bitcoin again. I think he was just early, and that the kind of nerds buying his shoes did not overlap with the Bitcoin kind of nerds. I can see the two subgroups converging... Cool store and super friendly owner.

There are only two groups who don't need to adjust their portfolios: those who don't have any assets and those who have all in Bitcoin.

Launch #bitchat in Zurich and get 10 people in a 1250 km radius (Milano was "active"). Launch it in Berlin and get 0 contacts in the 1250 km radius. Early. Won't be used for dating just yet.

Today I have received a parcel that came all the way from Shiraz (Iran) to my home in Switzerland. Firstly, this miniature Persian rug is an excellent piece of art and craftsmanship. And secondly, for me, it is a success story for Nostr and Bitcoin. @nprofile…cejz and I know of each other from Nostr only, and Nostr's WoT facilitated the communication and the trade. And Bitcoin provided the payment rails. Thank you, @nprofile…8gtd , Nostr, and Bitcoin. https://cdn.satellite.earth/74acae9d284d39977f6c16b911191b50da8d101f3ae10e41fafbb1cde89c2493.jpg

Enjoyed Riga a lot ♥️. And #BH2025 felt like a Bitcoin conference in 2016 wrt people, style, and insights. Dozens of nugets to take home. Here are two: "99% of the people don't understand Bitcoin treasury companies and are better off just hodling Bitcoin" - @npub1s5y…6q7z and (paraphrasing) "Most Bitcoiners are unprepared for the wealth rip that is coming to them. Get creative, find out who you are. Consumers will drown, producers will flourish" - @npub1ndk…gk2v https://cdn.satellite.earth/313a156305b0870979730fc11f63adaadc361a96e12e69f555168fb0d9a221bc.jp

There is a level of factual average world leader intelligence (last word meant as 100 dimensional vector). It's pointless to think ahead and pretty futile to think short of it. Why not accept it and use your extra skills for private endeavours (and Bitcoin :)).

Thank you @npub1wmr…g240 for the podcast and the thoughtful insights you bring to my feed. As someone who’s not an insider on any social platform, I first came across Yoel Roth’s name in the context of The Twitter Files. This interview adds important nuance. I appreciate the emphasis on applying scientific methods to the moderation of public discourse — an approach that resonates with me regardless of the personal value systems of those involved.

Why not have dinner on downtime credits? It's kind of a new thing - to put it mildly. Imagine the owner of a spinning mill in the 19th century in Switzerland inviting his friends for dinner and cigars on "downtime credits". He would attract the attention of both the town's priest and medical doctor. But, hey, here we are ... https://cdn.satellite.earth/dd56965aa3f7345b811a123d2c779db3292a79720d8d62828ebf5ad064a2153c.png

At one point it will unsensical to denominate in a dying currency. I wonder what will become the measuring stick for Bitcoin when Bitcoin will be the measuring stick for everything else.
