Last Notes npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery It do be like that. #nevent1q…5g9x npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Bitcoin's success is all but guaranteed over the long term. The math is sound, the distribution and control is decentralized, the economic incentives are strong, and the need is great. I've made predictions in the past, they turned out incorrect. I think the failure is trying to put Bitcoin into predicted specific outcomes when it should be looked at more elastically. Bitcoin is on the path to some day bring the world into a new age of energy abundance. Not just in creation and usage, but in storage as well. Do things, don't do things, the end result of global Bitcoin dominance will still occur according to cause and affect. Focus on your family, your health (mental/physical), and defend your future by building your stack enough to be ready for anything. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Unfortunately the 5% yield is less than 7% real inflation so still losing ground in that case. But the principle of buying assets and delaying gratification is 💯. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery https://blossom.primal.net/088ee4edfb036369a0805e1e2b3af2a493a673ca2c34aa367e74645c7a937709.jpg npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery I have been on and off writing chapters for potential books about Bitcoin, mining, energy, the dollar and Gold and silver, for the last few years. Haven't published anything. I think I'm going to change my methods, instead of writing a single book I'll publish articles/reads on Nostr and maybe other sites like substack. Inspired by Parker Lewis turning a bunch of his articles into his book titled "Gradually, Then Suddenly". Any advice on that from my Nostr peeps? npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery This is HUGE news. I can't wait to see the button in the wild. #nevent1q…xcmf npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Bitcoin is the invention of financial fire. The achievement of abundant scarcity. Humanity will never be the same. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Also, Moneros permanent and unchanging tail emissions have frozen the value and prevent the exponential growth in network value relative to input that the Bitcoin halving provides. As Bitcoin grows, Monero stagnates. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Monero means well, but on chain traceability of balances is necessary to ensure there are no inflation bugs. Plus, only the largest balances (banks, nation states, and corporations) really get watched and those are the ones that the world needs to know about and shouldn't be hidden. Plebs benefit from the pseudonymity of Bitcoin, because the big players can't hide from all of our eyes. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery There is no second best. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery What a wild experience. Appreciate your sharing it! npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Today I paid Bitcoin for dinner. A local food-tent made me a chicken quesadilla and a beef burrito. The sending app was aqua wallet, over the lightning network, to square. After paying I tipped a 1/2 Idaho Goldback that I bought with Bitcoin, which the kids absolutely loved. Paid my bill with digital gold, tipped in physical gold. I just got a taste of the new Bitcoin and Gold Standard, and it was glorious. This is digital cash, use it as such. This post is not sponsored. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Bitcoin or slavery. #naddr1qq…u3ua npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery It's a good question. I think the situation in Iran cutting off their internet access for almost two months now, has been on my mind and makes me reconsider my previous stance on being 100% in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is without any serious challenger in the space of serving as the ultimate store of value, for anyone looking to preserve value over several years and decades, and it will certainly become the world's default medium of exchange before long. But in the interim governments will become more desperate and more unstable along with their citizens as their money collapses further, and if the internet gets cut and bills need to be paid then having physical sound money as a backup gives me some peace of mind while also still insulating from the debasement of the fiat money printer. I also just like coins, I like gold, silver, and history. So stacking old and new silver coins is just an enjoyable hobby for me as well as backup savings. Lastly, when your Bitcoin stack grows it just doesn't really feel like anything because all the value is intangible. Making a fraction of your wealth physical, like say 5%, can help us visualize and understand exactly what it is we have. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Pro-tip. Don't have the new prebiotic sodas more than once a day. Very uncomfortable bloating will result until you pull your head out of your ass and realize that the discomfort you're feeling is indeed bloating and that the prebiotics in the sodas are the cause... 🥤😁🥤😄🥤🙂🥤🫤🥤🙁🥤☹️🥤😨🥤🥴🥤😮💨😣💩😯🤔(🥤🥤🥤🥤)🤦 😅🤣 npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Bitcoin is mathematically enforced scarcity relative to time and energy and whatever value society gives those things at the time. Over time energy prices tend to go down, but the amount of energy competing for Bitcoin goes up on average more than the value falls, coupled with a programmed reduction of block subsidy output against time every 210k blocks, and you get near certainty that over the decades the value of Bitcoin will grow against everything else humanity produces. As you begin to truly understand this and find you have enough sats to live slowly, meaningfully, frugally, uncompromised on the hardest and most honest money, I would suggest stacking silver coins from your largest local mint. For those of us in the United States this means old silver coins from pre-1965 and new Silver Proof coins minted from 1992 onward. These coins often have no premium, if you pay attention you'll often be able to find them at or even below their current silver melt value meaning they are treated as nothing but the raw metal in terms of market value. Become familiar with the various methods of verifying the coins you receive for true silver content, understand the look of copper-clad vs silver coins by checking the edge, understand the difference in how they sound when dropped, and how they feel when held. To have savings that bring true peace of mind, you have to make your savings real. Holding real physical silver coins, and even gold for those stackers with truly substantial holdings, truly feels magical and connecting to a time in history when society used quality money in everyday commerce. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery I guess I don't understand your point, do you disagree? I'm talking about this specific scenario: hyperinflation in paper, no internet access and I need to pay my bills at home. In this scenario I can't access my Bitcoin at home, it doesn't matter if it's hard to travel with substantial silver or gold holdings because I'm not traveling. And if I am traveling it's to somewhere that I can access the internet (and thus Bitcoin) I don't need to worry about the difficulties of traveling with metal as I'll have access to funds when I arrive. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Silver and Gold would be good to have in this scenario, as a backup. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Iran is going to charge $1 per barrel of oil in Bitcoin fees to allow transit through the straight, so 26 Bitcoin would be the typical fee per oil tanker not the entire cost of the oil. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery 💯 Figuring out money is the foundation for actually being free to figure out how YOU really want to influence the world.

Things that demand you give them value without anything in return, do not benefit your life and should be ignored. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Goldbacks don't compete with Bitcoin, they compete with the paper dollar. Gold in any form devalues against Bitcoin faster than paper devalues against Gold, they're not even in the same game. But there's something unique to seeing a growing amount of physical Gold and Silver monetary units in your possession, whether coins or Goldbacks, that just scratches an itch that digital wealth can't reach. Physical value makes wealth real, wouldn't it make sense that those who command the most digital value end up accumulating the most physical value as well? All humans do is coordinate the movement of various forms of matter and energy around the physical world, Gold and Silver are a part of that coordinated movement. Bitcoin is the galactic center, everything else simply orbits it. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery In the last 10 years the United States mint has produced copper coins with a total cumulative face value of roughly $9 - $10 Billion. During the same period of time the M2 money supply has increased by $10 Trillion. Meaning in the last decade only $1 out of every $1000 has been produced in actual copper coinage, 0.1% of all new dollars were made of physical metal. Copper may not be silver or gold but it is still a metal that was used as coinage throughout history, it is harder to create than paper or digital fiat, and I enjoy spending it far more than I enjoy spending any other form of the dollar other than old silver when a small business or individual decides to accept it. In 1933 we lost the circulating Gold Dollar, in 1935 the production of the whole circulating Silver Dollar, in 1965 the circulating 90% Silver Fractional Dollar, 1971 the circulating 40% Silver Fractional Dollar, and in the future we will lose the circulating Copper Dollar / Fractional Copper Dollar just like we just lost the Penny. If I'm forced to spend fiat, I will spend copper as much as I can, paper after that, and card only when dealing with large purchases where cash and coin have been made impractical. But I will do my best to go to businesses that accept sound money in any form, to spend money is to create it and introduce it into the economy so the better the money you can use to do that the better the economy will become. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Both. The mental shift occurs gradually in everyone, but it will happen to everyone given enough time. I think the Satoshi will be the unit of account for a time, before it too becomes too valuable to be used in that way practically. I think one day Bitcoin will evolve increased divisibility, perhaps the halving will be modified to be endlessly occurring and alongside each new halving a decimal will be added to increase division. Every halving causes the cost of Bitcoin to double in terms of time, given this it's only a matter of time until the increased value from each halving adds up and makes increased division necessary. The Bitcoin network of today may one day look antiquated to Bitcoiners of the future, in the same way the Turing Bombe computer looks antiquated to us today. It will change in ways we can't predict, it will evolve organically into new forms and perhaps it will experience hard forks that spawn children that are not shitcoins but instead symbolize different generations of Bitcoin that if successful will be able to coexist. I don't know what will happen for certain, but I know Bitcoin is still a baby that has yet to mature. When fully mature everything will be different, the world will look alien, and Bitcoin will become humanities economic foundation for centuries if not millennia. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery One day, some respectable amount of time from now, 1 Satoshi will be worth more than what 1 Bitcoin is now. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery The government is controlled by people who traffic, rape, eat, and taxidermy children, their goons are disappearing and murdering people in the streets, bombing and murdering children in foreign schools, and sending billions to their friends while cancelling food stamps for millions. But don't forget to be your own tax collector for them, report all your Bitcoin transactions and calculate the capital gains taxes, compared to the forever war enabling and endlessly printed devaluing dollar, which you self report and send to the IRS. If you don't you'll be committing a serious crime. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Bitcoiners support all forms of sound money. This isn't a battle between Metals and Bitcoin, it's a battle between all forms of fiat and all forms of Sound Money. I just ordered some of the new Idaho Goldbacks, killer designs with Lady Justice and Sacagawea! https://blossom.primal.net/c8ef07105178df2078d24b340979ad5dc235f0929f24a043e190cb4767d97402.mp4 npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Great work Daniel! People are starting to have less FUD about bitcoin's environmental affects thanks in no small part to your efforts. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery I think people are struggling more and more, and due to this struggle they become more intensely focused on the drama surrounding the central power that issues the nations currency because they believe "their group" controlling the center of power will bring them relief from those struggles. It's just desperation. People don't understand that letting go of the dying fiat currencies, and the organizations that supply them, will actually bring them more relief. That lack of understanding coupled with the algorithms that drive the most eyes to the most engaging information, leads to the most dramatic people getting the most attention and the most supporters/fans. This is why Trump/Bolsonaro won their elections, they are simply more attention grabbing and hold more eyes to screens than the other more sensible people do. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery @nprofile…kclk This note won't show up in the Primal app as a part of my feed.

But the post being censored quickly reminded me what Facebook is, I'm back to not using it again 😂. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Shared this video on Facebook only to have the post not even show up on my timeline when I went to look at it. Being censored for posting this felt so surreal.

Something of this sort: That Socrates is a doer of evil, and corruptor of the youth, and he does not believe in the gods of the state" The gods of the state. What is a "god of the state" exactly. Are not the gods worthy of being placed on circulating coinage? They were in ancient Rome, the coins of the Republic featured the faces of the Pantheon of Rome. When the Republic fell to Julius Caesar, he was the first to have his face on his coin while he was still alive. That evokes power. But the emperor's of Rome did not want it to seem like the city was conquered, but liberated. They wanted the people to believe "Rome" survived a troublesome time, just under new leadership. They kept making coins, but with their faces on them instead of the Pantheon. Functionally declaring themselves gods. This is where we get the term "God-Emperor", because the emperor's declared themselves living gods. The empire over time developed into a religious theocracy under the Catholic religion, having originally started out as a Republic it transitioned into a God-Emperor theocracy it became a religious dictatorship where the emperor was the head of the Church. Instead of a god, he was closest to God. This still evokes power. Eventually though, the collapse of the government was also the collapse of the coinage as everytime the government couldn't pay it's bills it dipped into the savings of it's people by reducing the silver content/value of the coins as they were issued. The coinage of the United States started out very much the same, honoring only the Pantheon of America. Namely Lady Liberty, who ruled along side Lady Justice in the courts of law. The only things that mattered to Americans, being "Liberty and Justice for all". Opposite Lady Liberty on our coins was the majestic eagle in the seal of our country and our original non-theocratic motto "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of many, One) proudly displayed on the coin. To show we were united in Liberty, even though we were all independent states. But over time the dominant form of the dollar changed, and instead of Lady Liberty being on the front as was always the case on our Constitutional Silver and Gold Dollars, our paper dollars instead featured the gods of the state. Namely the God-Emperor presidents, and the paper dollars became so popular they eventually became dominant and the US Mint switched to dead presidents on it's coinage as well. After replacing the Liberty herself with dead men, it replaced the guardian of Liberty - Gold/Silver - with copper and paper. Our coinage is how we do business, a dead coinage is a dead government. As the dollar is slowly replaced by digital versions of it, such as "Bitcoin-backed dollars" (apps paying dollar denominated bills with pure Satoshis over the lightning network), the government slowly becomes the slowest issuer of new exchangeable value to the market and they start to lose influence and power as they cannot control the Bitcoin network. We are already on the path to freeing the world from the fiat yoke, it's a mathematical certainty that (with the halving and a stable or rising hashrate) Bitcoin grows in value exponentially over the next hundred years. Within a decade it will likely eclipse or have already eclipsed all the combined value of every other currency on earth. It wins because it makes the other issuers of value antiques, it makes them irrelevant and ignored, and everyone is perceived to suddenly be exposed to higher quality forms of money (Bitcoin and free market precious metal moneys) and their honest depiction of costs changing over time. Observe the world with an attitude of wonder and pity, as the transition slowly happens over the next few years there will likely be bumpy patches where it will be very rough, but whatever happens we're already off the fiat death spiral train and growing more stable all the time. It's going to be interesting watching it all happen with y'all #nostr. I look forward to it. 🫡 npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Apparently. 😂 I would never store substantial value in any mobile wallet, just enough for spending and experimentation. Don't really get the hate for some wallets that aren't purely lightning/on chain. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Someone is sour today.

Dishonest money creates a dishonest society, honest incorruptible money leads to an honest one. If you fix the money then you enable humanity to fix any problem. All other problems are much easier to solve if the problem of money is solved first. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Really enjoyed this. Well done. npub1kl8aguhljq6yrmrv64dm2phew3pprfhx3ef9yh2zg3gkn0dq8adqzfq497 TheBitcoinBattery Reading "you will always have your personality - your personal reality" literally gave me frisson (biological emotional response often described as "chills" going down the spine). I never thought about our personalities being the same as our personal realities but it makes so much sense. Change how you view the world around you, change your personal reality of life, and you will change your personality. Incredible. Loved the overall post too.
