Last Notes npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I'll be paying a short visit for the first time. Looking forward to it. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I would have guessed you already did on a small scale, but I get what you mean. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Wait, you wrote this in 2010 already, wow. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde https://image.nostr.build/3e3da007716d2ebf5bad8e7fb8c47ce8f893db6dd7f00cf1a66d91f3eb93e330.jpg npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde *Opens npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde *opens Nostr client* npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde They don't have the classics you mention (a friend of mine has an original Outrun arcade in his home) but they have games like Air hockey, a basketball game, a whack a mole clone, a regular pool table with a beamer for special effects and a few other games including multigame arcades which probably run some sort of simulators. It's not a large classic arcade but more like a free extra when you booked one of the other games they got there. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde https://blossom.primal.net/a138646daf4e0932e2d6104f2747e5c43f9c360058a5870aa66f42a84ac42010.mp4 npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde OK help me out. What do you consider the best short video (3-5 min) that explains bitcoin to non-technical people? npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I really enjoyed it too, maybe even more than Breaking Bad, which was also extremely good. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde GL HF! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Sounds fun! (If someone's else would create it 😅) npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I managed to zap w coinos npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Just curious, how did you get to the airport? npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Nice! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde It was still on my bucket list to visit 😢 npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Cool I will try it out. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde He was one of the first vocal bitcoiners I knew (not personally), but I thought he was way too extreme to convince general audience about bitcoin. Unfortunately through the years I found out he was probably right about more things than I hoped. Would be great to have him at Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem 2027. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I'm confused on how you want me to engage? npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I missed this one. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I forgot about this! But to be honest I think I would have skipped anyway due to the bad weather. Hope to see you soon again Ralphie! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I really liked reading it too. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I love reading this Walker. I hope you inspire more bitcoin hodlers to spedn & replace. The only way to truly grow adoption. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Losing the private keys (whatever decentralized alternative you choose) is kind of a thing which needs to be addressed by everyone relying on a certain DNS. And DNS's getting stolen probably even more so. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Nice video! @nprofile…kcp7 npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde What was this?

It is an incredible beautiful country. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde I guess you guys will be missing this, once in NY? npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Welcome back! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde That sucks, Joe. I was stuck in Londen earlier this year. But got home a day later. What are your options? npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde It's a tiny bitcoin clock (/ticker) created by @nprofile…9tkx npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Cleaning up my desk: I don't dare plug it in anymore https://image.nostr.build/24b255c1e6b94bda3d806aa4dd9ba763ee2a5340c1dd181986b42c883ab3b8fd.jpg npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Musis en Rembrandt herken ik direct, de andere twee zou ik echt moeten opzoeken. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Just watched @nprofile…pnp8 "key note or whatever it was" 😀 from the African Bitcoin Circular Economy (BCE) Summit 2026.

Greetings from Arnhem, The Netherlands 👋 npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Looking forward to the next event in Arnhem Bitcoin City! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde True, these venues don't accept Bitcoin. Are you aware of https://btcmap.org ? Where you can find bitcoin accepting merchants worldwide? npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Oh nice, I hope spent some sats here! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde The tastiest burger comes from Arnhem Bitcoin City! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Is this a new platform?

But he's really much better than I am. There's so much to learn about this game. Thanks for the tip, I've heard the title before, but haven't read it yet. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde https://image.nostr.build/001750c49d1a80432bf89667fab4d19eed7ef37f71abc981d20b9f0cd91d6d40.jpg npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde GM!

But the first paragraph about Bitcoin is not so good: Bitcoin is not neutral because nobody knows who Satoshi is, but because there *is* nobody in control. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde This is looking great! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Wth?

This year, however, we had a special Noderunners edition at the Noderunners Conference in Amsterdam, featuring more challenging questions and some inside jokes. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde congrats! npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde https://image.nostr.build/90b22fdaff358b4bb5f953a70cbee3fcd3657f7d71cafa0984ddcd9b36d3ecde.jpg Had a great time with @nprofile…8gsm Jake and about 40 others at Braai.

I respectfully disagree on the complaint about Spark not helping with the security budget as it tries to reduce on-chain transaction footprint. I see it as a scaling solution and I'm not worried at all that miners will get in to problem with their funding. I'm glad the 2017/2018 mempool situation is over now (for now). We should however focus on people not keeping their live savings on exchanges. That's where the transactions should come from. npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde "during the fork war we all agreed on what bitcoin *was*" npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 Patrick van der Meijde Not yet, might create one.
