Last Notes npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino To find the rational center first grasp the extremes: npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I just set up my new hardware wallet. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino You do realize this whole Artemis II project is being faked, right? npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino When the system gets brittle you need something resilient. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Keep swimming against the current. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino America is an idea pursued from multiple perspectives. We don’t have to get along — we only have to agree to not get along civilly. That’s what makes us an incoherent whole. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino The National Debt npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Perhaps the system is not fit for the times we are living in and the chaos is a symptom, not a cause. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Photographs separated by only 66 years. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino The U.S. Treasury just announced something that hasn't happened since Abraham Lincoln was in office. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Imagine trying to predict today’s world from yesterday. Now imagine trying to predict tomorrow’s world from today. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino 25 years ago you could put $500 in your pocket, drive anywhere in America, rent an apartment with no background check, and start over. $500 today is a month of groceries if you're lucky. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino If governments can ‘print’ their own currencies, they can pay arms manufacturers, foot soldiers, and contractors endlessly to wage endless wars. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Everyone talks about innovation in California like it’s only a Silicon Valley or Hollywood thing. Meanwhile up here in Mendocino (California’s last slither of frontier) I keep meeting people who are bubbling with ideas. Up here the rules are few and the vistas wide. Creativity feels freer. Are you an innovator? npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino The national debt just hit $39T. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Small town living. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I used to bring up bitcoin in conversations so that I could try and convince people about it… npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino “Bitcoin is punk rock money.” npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino A man deposits $10,000 in a bank. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Most people think inflation is just "prices going up." npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Live light: ditch the clutter, dodge the surveillance. A quiet house, no smart fridge — freedom isn’t in gadgets, it’s in what you don’t own. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Rah rah, vodio do! npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Yes, visit Big River Beach and gaze up river — you’ll see the tops of redwoods, some are around my cabin. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Bitcoin isn’t an investment. It’s not a stock. It’s not something that needs government approval. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino AI will soon be able to generate anything digital: text, images, video, even whole identities. In that world, what can you still trust? npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://blossom.primal.net/f322d206efdf352c98cb9f369b82ded9bee9f81708a3e3cc19565b64028b91f3.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Bitcoin's been pitched as digital gold for 17 years. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Two curves are crossing. One falling, one rising. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino It’s almost impossible to imagine what might exist in the future. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Once you wake up to the fact that the world hasn’t operated with “money” since 1971, things start to make sense. When you realize that, instead of money, the world operates with currency—tokens created as debt and used as a proxy for money—the causes of wealth inequality and social unrest become apparent. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino That’s a great reply. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino From Scott Melker: npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Most people still operate under a schoolbook illusion that banks take deposits and lend them out. The truth is far stranger: banks don’t lend existing money; they create new money. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Much of the angst in the national zeitgeist these days centers around economic uncertainty—like it’s just a bad roll of the dice. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a supercomputer designs an even more advanced successor to uncover deeper truths. That’s exactly what’s unfolding today with AI: systems are now helping build smarter versions of themselves, creating a rapid cycle of improvement that’s changing work faster than most realize. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Inflation, often dismissed as a natural economic phenomenon, is a subtle tax on your time and energy. Every hour you work, every ounce of effort you expend, is converted into a currency that loses purchasing power over time. This is the debt-based financial system. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://blossom.primal.net/c55a78376958a7e72c7a6ba6bf31a28ac1fe5ca2668c605dbd6eb2755223e441.png npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I live in a shed in the woods but it’s nice…it has running water, oil lamps, a wood stove and blazing fast, gigabit internet. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino According to Jed it was sunny. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino It was a on a sunny Saturday in town that Jed realized the world he’d always known had gone forever and that the future was here to stay. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Dear Mendocino neighbors, npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ? npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Just got home from the WEF in Davos where it’s starting to dawn on a handful of global elites that they might not be able to dictate to the rest of us how we’re to be surveilled, what we can say and how we should live. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino - Share ideas npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Politics is there to distract us from the bankers. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino We’ve got electric lights and just got a radio. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Businesses exist to solve real problems: A family gets hungry → a pizza shop opens. A truck breaks down → a mechanic fixes it. Farmers need feed → a local feed store supplies it. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Love it…I remember that photo of you and Leaf in the parking lot. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino “Good morning, America, how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son…” npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Why America is stuck in a casino economy. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Hmmm…not sure that’s quite accurate but if you’re happy with dollars carry on. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Much of the angst in the national zeitgeist these days centers around economic uncertainty—like it’s just a bad roll of the dice. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino YES—we don’t want open borders letting hundreds of thousands enter the U.S. undocumented each year. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Bitcoin is more than just money. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://blossom.primal.net/c72097a22ab897a92b1e5dab0795240496a74376e8a32a54a51b22b1c0064059.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Liked! npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Thanks for pointing this out. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I don’t have anything to hide… npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Enough with the GMs already! npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://blossom.primal.net/7687ee359baa0b5f5eeff75aeb3e47068a25892ddf22c3d630e6ce7da2a3f3d6.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino I used to think the ‘idea’ that is America was in jeopardy after Jan 6, after the financial crisis, after 9/11, after Iran Contra, after Watergate, after Vietnam, after JFK, after The Manhattan Project. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://blossom.primal.net/727b59433863f33fe797759446906ffb0e1bee1f6d0d8ddf0c133d6a3c608b7d.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Agreed. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino 99% of us just want to live quietly, raise our kids, love our people and chase our dreams in peace. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Inflation, often dismissed as a natural economic phenomenon, is in reality a subtle tax on your time and energy. Every hour you work, every ounce of effort you expend, is converted into currency that loses purchasing power over time due to deliberate policy decisions. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Thanks. I appreciate the follow up. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino When Europeans arrived, Native American populations were overwhelmed. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Yes. I’ve spoken to a few merchants. The reaction is often “Really. That’s interesting.” Then they return to their busy fiat lives. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino No but that’s a good idea. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino 🇨🇭 Lugano, Switzerland has emerged as a rare example of citywide bitcoin adoption, where bitcoin is used for everything from buying coffee to paying taxes, purchasing from local merchant and tuition. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino If someone paid me for mowing their lawn in bitcoin and then I went to a local farmer and bought some raw milk with some of my bitcoin. Then say the farmer went to someone else and paid in bitcoin for some orchard grass for some of their horses…only some people would know about these transactions. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Feel optimistic. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Turn on, tune in, drop out. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino From Adam Livingston | @AdmBLiv: npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Talk to someone you disagree with. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino When you understand that at its core it is economic insecurity that exacerbates social divisions you’ve taken the first step. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino it is time that the U.S. recognizes that the world is filled with people who have different cultures, governance structures and priorities. This is okay. While we don't have to agree with any or all of these things, it is not our job to change them and we should find common ground where possible and use that as a jumping off point for mutually beneficial trade. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino “I Yes, but have you paid your quarterlies?” npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino For god’s sake…someone make him stop!! npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino https://blossom.primal.net/1cbdb4fee6ef59b6ade83a8bd3ac7d3c50bf6851d40a4d25c6a95eee22b3a473.jpg npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ...it feels like a small gift from another age. A place where you can still smell the seasons, and the people around you aren't just pixels. A place where the past, the present, and the future still breathe together. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino The future happens here first -- California is America's coming attraction. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino That’s all very well but just exchange dollars for bitcoin and keep it in self custody. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino ₿ npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino It’s Epstein, right? npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino Help make bitcoin everyday money. npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino A rainy night in Mendocino… npub1d35fjctkz7qlz7n0wxf3pu7daljwkvmw5du357dzfmttd8sh9dvqmck508 BitcoinMendocino The tool doesn’t own you.
