The last couple of weeks were a whirlwind, as is to be expected if a lot of bitcoiners are at the same place at the same time.<br/><br/>Bitcoin Atlantis was a fantastic event, as many others have mentioned before me. It was so good to see everyone. New friends, old friends, brothers and sisters, even classmates and family. Yes, family.<br/><br/>To me, the gathering that happened on this strange island in the middle of the Atlantic felt more like an extended family gathering than a conference, which is what made it so beautiful. Exhausting? Yes. Strange? Definitely. But also full of love, tears of joy, and a deep sense of "togetherness" that only families can provide. Strange uncles and all.<br/><br/>I've said it before and I'll say it again: cherish these times. We're still in the early days, and as bitcoin marches on and grows, and as bitcoinization proceeds, what is strange and extraordinary now will soon be normal and ordinary.<br/><br/>The internet is magic, as are mobile phones. Yet we don't have any "internet people" anymore, not in the "bitcoiner" sense, to bridge the analogy. In certain places and for certain people bitcoin is already normalized, and what used to be mind-blowing just 12 months ago simply isn't anymore. We get used to things too quickly, even magic. We adjust, we get bored, and we fail to appreciate how far we have come.<br/><br/>I'm writing this as a sip my morning coffee, a coffee that I will pay in sats outright, with zaps I've received on nostr. Isn't that magical? Yet it's very normal to me. I have to pinch myself every day to make sure it is real.<br/><br/>It's hard to comprehend how much sweat, blood, tears, and pain were necessary to make all of this work. Bitcoin. Lightning. Nostr. The myriad of tools, libraries, capital, and infrastructure required so that you can zap me and I can pay for this coffee. Instantly. Global. Without anyone's permission. We say that Bitcoin is magic internet money for a reason, so please take a step back and appreciate the magic. Appreciate how far we've come.<br/><br/>It's easy to get lost in the thick of it all when you're close to the grindstone. I know there's people out there that question themselves, wondering why they keep working on all this stuff, asking themselves if they make a difference. I know because I'm one of these people sometimes. I know because some of my friends are struggling, and have been struggling for a while. I see you, and if I could I'd give you a hug twice a day.<br/><br/>But most days we're not in the same place at the same time, so let me say the following instead: You matter. Your contributions matter. You just being around matters.<br/><br/>That's why physical events are so important. It's borderline impossible to feel stuff through a computer screen. But once you meet people in person—your people, the people that, for one reason or another, are perfectly aligned with you—you can FEEL it. You can really feel it. You can feel that it matters, that the tide is shifting, that the freedom tech we are working on changes the very real lives of very real people. <br/><br/>It was wonderful to meet all of you. Peace & Love, and please take care of each other. 🙏🧡 </blockquote> 2024-03-12T12:11:08+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2fg0msqmkfxmtsfmjzl26hnufglpnhf9jts5wsw364pa8knlj2kgzypldnafrf0nmgr26k7r0h02uwpjls54rj6hpuq40utjncukpdstmjt27n3w Well played, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1tftc33ttam85wraffce62cgtvvjrmttquqlv6a0agtfm5nl4vues82xar5" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Swan</span> (<span class="italic">npub1tft…xar5</span>)</a></span>, well played. <img src="https://image.nostr.build/a60153056598fe0687ab01863a0a202e06428edaf24f61c2383121e1b20e3525.jpg"> 2024-03-05T13:34:28+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsq6w0d77rk2dccfnfem6t4ehatw88yczylfpf35nwv30neyf8aewqzypldnafrf0nmgr26k7r0h02uwpjls54rj6hpuq40utjncukpdstmjp6jev3 How devaluation starts:<br/><br/>April 18 will be the 25th anniversary of the current Swiss constitution’s adoption. With that ratification, the #franc became fully fiat.<br/><br/>Yesterday, 58.2% of Swiss voted to add a 13th monthly federal pension payment, while a second initiative to raise the retirement age and begin tying it to life expectancy failed, garnering only 25.3% of votes.<br/><br/>Unless the #Swiss either raise taxes or cut other spending, the supply of franc will have to rise.

I can only offer my perspective, so for what it’s worth: while coopting, centralizing, and corrupting by those who have outsized influence are forces worth fighting, the government’s explicit power to coerce is a much bigger threat. In my sense - and in only my sense - many progressives seem to want to use government power to satisfy their passions for justice, and believe that having a simple majority of a voting populace on their side somehow absolves them of the moral evil of coercion. However, I see coercion as the fundamentally dehumanizing social force.<br/><br/>Private charity is alive and well; I want to affirm my progressive friends’ senses of justice and work with them where I can to bring about better outcomes for people, but without resorting to control. 2024-02-19T14:46:55+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw3ud7tmfx76rhvd0jwt5c4ayc0szl6c2eqe0p5fzz0skztuljpnqzypldnafrf0nmgr26k7r0h02uwpjls54rj6hpuq40utjncukpdstmj4gnf64 Watch this ASAP and for the love of all things holy, stop buying shit made in communist countries.

He was lamenting not buying when I told him about BTC at $17k in late November 2022.<br/><br/>“Don’t sweat missing $17k. There is a monetary (inflation) premium baked into the prices of gold, stocks, and real estate which is distinct from their intrinsic values. In time Bitcoin can capture that inflation premium. And that premium is apart from any value associated with its current and future utility as a medium of exchange.<br/><br/>Let’s say the inflation premium is ~$50T globally. For context, the global value of all debt is ~$400T. Bitcoin’s current market capitalization is $840B. That suggests 59x upside on the inflation premium alone, or $2.5M per BTC. I’m assuming that the timeframe to realize this price is 15-20 years, but the $2.5M is in today’s $US, not inflated future dollars.<br/><br/>Stocks and real estate won’t crash as a result, but their valuations will be constrained to the cash flows from their businesses &amp; rents, respectively. Gold’s intrinsic value is consumer, industrial, and apocalyptic but it’s much more purely priced as an inflation hedge than either stocks or real estate.” 2024-01-17T12:39:35+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvlpm6gptrwvuhzpq3hr7jfaawfgjpnyywzrmfy3fuzu7jkzj38nqzypldnafrf0nmgr26k7r0h02uwpjls54rj6hpuq40utjncukpdstmjfw09kd Reminder that <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>DrJeff</span> (<span class="italic">npub1k7v…c04l</span>)</a></span> ‘s 40k by the halving px forecast ain’t wrong yet.
