Bitcoin miners can play a major role in revitalizing Venezuela's 🇻🇪 power grid ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Their doing so would help provide sustainable electricity to Venezuelans across the country as well as stimulate Venezuela's economy.
I sat down with Alessandro Cecere ( @nprofile…myxw ) to discuss this plus:
⚡️ The massive opportunity to mine bitcoin with flared gas in Venezuela
⚡️ How most Venezuelans feel about Maduro's capture
⚡️ Venezuela's financial situation and what it will take to get it back on track
A not to be missed episode for Bitcoin mining enthusiasts and/or those in favor of a renewed Venezuela…

Once you come to a certain understanding of Bitcoin, it’s virtually impossible to date someone who doesn’t get it.
Listening to the person across from you propose solutions to political and economic problems that you know will barely make a dent in our current issues (e.g., “It only we could tax CEOs more!) while biting your tongue and not launching into a treatise on economics and explaining how Bitcoin is the answer is not just difficult but physically painful at this point.
I’m at a loss.

That's a 9.3% annualized rate of inflation.

I’ve been thinking a lot about terms like “collectivism” and “rugged individualism” - especially as a resident of New York City, which many claim to be the center of capitalism (it isn’t; it’s the center of crony capitalism at best) and which now has a socialist mayor.
My thinking led me to writing this:

I don’t think it’s a matter of that. The bigger point is that Venezuelans are entitled to feel happy that someone who has destroyed the lives of almost everyone in the country is now no longer in charge without people who have no idea what the situation on the ground was like telling them otherwise.

🚨NEW: New evidence shows that the SDNY/DOJ has likely sold the bitcoin that the Samourai devs paid it as part of their plea deal even though Executive Order 14233 mandates that forfeited bitcoin be held in the U.S.’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
And this wasn’t the first time in the Samourai case that the SDNY acted in defiance of federal orders or guidance.
Theres is a pattern of defiance here.

Outside of the courthouse where Maduro is being arraigned today, the Venezuelans are waving a “Trump for King” flag, while the New Yorkers want to see Maduro free.

Read the book years ago and didn’t love it, but the on-screen adaptation is solid.
The creators really brought storyline to life, and the portrayal of NYC’s music subculture in 2003, which I was deeply immersed in, is a bit overdone but still reminds me of a more exciting time in the city.

27 years ago today, I went to my first punk rock show.
I saw The Bouncing Souls at a venue called Tramps in New York City.
In the years that followed, I learned from that band, as well as many others in the DIY music scene, how important the spirit of doing things without permission is.
These bands put out their own records, booked their own tours, and wrote their own music - music than emanated directly from the depths of their hearts.
Without having gone to that show and gotten involved in the punk rock / hardcore / DIY scene in the years that followed, I don’t think I ever would have truly grasped what #Bitcoin and #Nostr are and why they are important.
I’m immensely grateful to all the bands and people I learned from in that scene, as not only did they help me find my purpose earlier on in life, but they primed me to notice and embrace two of the greatest technologies for human flourishing ever created.
So, on this Thanksgiving Eve, I’d like to thank the Bouncing Souls, the punk rock community worldwide, and, of course, all of you in the Nostrverse who carry on this spirit of permissionlessness.

Let us please stop referring to New York City as a hub for capitalism.
It isn’t.
Instead, it’s a center for crony capitalism, a form of socialism for the rich.
It’s also a jurisdiction laden with red tape and high taxes that’s largely unaffordable for the poor, middle and working classes.
It’s also home to Wall Street, which has been bailed out time and time again at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer and the value of the U.S. dollar itself.
What is more, NYC is subject to the BitLicense, which makes it hard for Bitcoin companies to serve New Yorkers, creating more friction for those who want to break free from the crony capitalistic system via Bitcoin.
If more people held and understood Bitcoin, they wouldn’t have voted for Zohran Mamdani.
But the traditional financial system doesn’t want people to understand it, because it would make that system irrelevant.
So, in essence, I blame Wall Street and the other benefactors of the Cantillon Effect (look it up) as well as the bureaucratic hellhole that is NYC (and New York State more broadly) for Mamdani being elected mayor.
Until we confront on a larger level how Wall Street/bank bailouts, infinite money printing, and red tape hurts the most financially vulnerable among us and acknowledge that Bitcoin is an answer to this, expect many more Mamdani types to be elected.

A lens through which to assess the arguments in the node debate:
Whenever someone makes an argument, they utilize three modes of persuasion - they appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos.
• ethos=credibility
• logos=logic
• pathos=emotion
Great orators and writers strike the right balance in their appeals to these three modes.
When someone relies too heavily on one of them, that’s usually a red flag, and it usually causes them to lose members of their audience.
If your argument is purely logic-based, it might be boring, and, depending on topic (e.g., if you’re discussing something super technical) it might go over the heads of many readers/listeners, which makes your argument less effective.
If you rely too heavily on ethos in your argument (e.g., I’m a developer who has done this, this, this and I’ve been doing it for “x” years so you must/should listen to me), then you sound condescending, which also isn’t effective, as people don’t want to be talked down to.
Relying too much on pathos tends to have a polarizing effect. The members of your tribe will usually applaud you for it, while those who don’t agree with you will only dig in deeper - and more emotionally - to counter what you’ve said or written.
I’m going to dive in a little deeper on pathos here, because I think it goes without saying that there’s been a lot of emotion in people’s arguments, and understandably so, as we’re talking about the future of a network and asset that many have much of their wealth locked up in.
“If we don’t do ____, then ____ will happen” is an appeal to pathos that we’ve seen a lot of in the debates. (I’m not using actual examples/posts from the node debate so to be neutral and make certain points without alienating anyone reading this thread.)
I bring up this example because it’s an appeal to pathos disguised as an appeal to logos…(and both sides have used it to varying degrees).
If a post with this sort of phrasing isn’t grounded in concrete evidence, it’s an appeal to pathos, though it seems like an appeal to logos, especially to those who are new to the space. And the more dramatic the statement, the more emotional people will get. If you’re partaking in absolute statements like this that aren’t backed by evidence, then you are deeply distorting reality for the sake of manipulating people, especially those who don’t really understand the Bitcoin protocol or how nodes work.
And this sort of manipulation goes on in more subtle ways. For instance, some have made statements like “Bitcoiners wouldn’t/shouldn’t do ____.” Again, this comes across to some as a form of logos, the impact of which is potentially heightened depending on the real or perceived credibility of the person saying it.
The reality is, though, that there is no such thing as a “Bitcoiner.” It’s a made up term that doesn’t have one universal definition. Trying to persuade people that it’s anything but a term that can have various meanings in efforts to employ it in something disguised as a form of logic is also deeply manipulative. If you consider yourself a “Bitcoiner” beware of those who try to convince you that there’s a prescribed way to act. (I’ll admit that I’ve even used this term in manipulative ways in my arguments, and I apologize for that.)
Finally, being dismissive or condescending in general, especially if you are a well established figure in the Bitcoin space (i.e., you have some amount of credibility), will usually cause fewer people to listen to your argument - especially those who you might be trying to convince. And this cuts in both directions: Bitcoin OGs talking down to newbies is one form of it, and newbies approaching conversations with a lack of humility is another form of it.
I could write much more on this, but I’ll wrap it here because ain’t nobody got time to read posts that just go on and on.
I share all of this because I’d like to see the animosity deescalate. This doesn’t mean people shouldn’t make their arguments or express their points of view. All of that is healthy. What’s not healthy is manipulating people with appeals to pathos disguised as appeals to logos, especially if you have any sort of real or perceived credibility. Before believing something you read, think twice about how balanced the writer or speaker’s rhetoric is. If it feels unbalanced, at least make a mental note of the red flag before reacting or responding.
Thanks for reading.

Yeah, I can’t say I agree with all his politics. Love his spirit, though.

The latest crypto market structure framework from the Democrats aims to "deny" bad actors from using public blockchains while still enabling financial privacy for users.
But the language in the bill on the issue is concerningly vague.
