There seem to be 2 kinds of people who love freedom:
- Those who also accept accountability
- Those who try to reject accountability
This was always the difference with pre-2023 Bitcoiners and shitcoiners. It's the difference with the pro-#BIP110 monetary maxis and Coretards now.
Satoshi designed Bitcoin to be digital money that's inextricably linked to (and dependant on) reality. He understood that freedom without accountability isn't really freedom at all.
Vitalik created Ethereum because he wanted a system where he set ALL the rules, reality be damned.
Those with high time preference believe that Vitalik's version of "freedom", free from all accountability or connection to reality, is real freedom. After all, there's no one to stop you. You can do literally whatever you want. You are a god of your own little virtual universe.
But those with low time preference know that's a lie. They know that no one can escape accountability, and that's a feature, not a bug. They humbly remember that we live in a bigger universe, that accountability is the key to freedom, and that we ignore it at our own peril.
So now we have Vitalik-like, high time preference, (m)ETH heads, who call themselves "BiTc0iN MaXiS", screeching about "cEnSoRsHiP" when an extremely conservative soft fork (BIP-110) is about to make it harder for them to rule their little universes without accountability.
These useful idiots dump gigabytes of spam on your node, your property, where you're forced to store it forever without getting a sat for it. And if you shut it down, the network is centralized a little more.
But they don't care about that; they only care about getting their way.
"Run a pruned node"
"Your node doesn't matter"
"Just don't relay our spam"
"Taking Bitcoin back to how it was for 14 years is censorship!"
"You must hate freedom if you want Bitcoin to just be freedom money again."
They say they love freedom, when they really just hate reality.
They'd probably shake their fist at God for creating gravity while they fall from a cliff they just stepped away from.
They undoubtedly get SO frustrated when they can NEVER force 2+2 to equal 5.
The universe must hate freedom! It must be pro-censorship!
It's all so tiring. 🙄
But ultimately, such people don't matter. From Michael Saylor to that troll with 9 followers and a monkey jpeg avatar who just called you a retard, they're all the same. They've each chosen to touch the stove of accountability over and over again, rather than just humbly learn.
Bitcoin will continue to move forward and prove all the Peter Schiffs and the Elizabeth Warrens and the Dan Peñas all wrong.
And it will similarly prove all the Vitaliks, and the Andy Backs, and the Portland HODLs all wrong, too.
They can either get over themselves & profit, or... not.
Bitcoin is money.
Money is the foundation of civilization.
Fix the money, fix the world.
But burden the money, centralize control over it by discouraging the running of nodes, and dilute its functionality with other "use cases", and you break the money.
... and therefore the world.

Nodes enforce Bitcoin's supply schedule, but also all other rules in Bitcoin's protocol. If you run a node, YOU are in charge of Bitcoin, and miners, developers, and exchanges work for YOU, full stop.
If you're not running your own node, then you're trusting a stranger's node to tell you what Bitcoin is and isn't.

The miners' economic incentives make it so they work for the node runners, not the other way around. This is why the only way for #BIP110 to fail would be for the miners to somehow ignore those incentives. It's not impossible, but it's incredibly improbable.

For the poll, I almost chose the first option, but then I remembered: when widespread Bitcoin adoption happens (assuming we fix the spam problem and Bitcoin doesn't turn into Ethereum), its price won't flatten out, but will continue to rise with global GDP. So it'll never be boring!

And the Liquid Network doesn't just provide faster settlements; its sidechain never records transaction amounts in its blocks, so going from the main chain to Liquid and back to the main chain is a great (and easy) way to clear your bitcoin's history and restore your privacy!

A friend of mine recently texted me and asked:
"Does it appear #BIP110 will succeed?"
You'll find the answer I sent them below. I hope you find it helpful, in case you or someone you know is wondering this, as well.
"Short answer: Yes, IMO. It has several times more node runners supporting it than BIP-148 had in 2017, but what's even more important is the game theory around the prisoner's dilemma in which the BIP places the miners.
Basically, the miners have a lot to lose & practically nothing to gain by ignoring/resisting BIP-110, but the node runners have practically nothing to lose & a lot to gain by enforcing it. Miners that choose to ignore or fight it risk wasting electricity & losing blocks they had previously found (which could ruin their business), while miners that signal for it risk nothing. They don't want to start signaling their support for it too early, though, because they want to keep their competitive advantage over other miners, so they likely won't start signaling for it until they have to (which will likely be in early August).
So, unless there's a centralized & coordinated effort among the largest mining pools, or another BIP that deliberately resists BIP-110 (called a User Rejected Soft Fork, or URSF), BIP-110 will be a shoe-in. But if formerly-competing miners successfully collude to fight what the node runners want, then Bitcoin is a provably centralized & failed project, & all the bitcoin they're mining will fall in value. And there is currently no serious URSF effort, but if there were, it would be like the Red & Blue Button meme that has been going around online:
https://blossom.primal.net/d681cba93baed17144f6ad35413a8e7eff616f698b8f28158173a0e83433ef7a.jpg
A URSF would be like pressing the Blue button, & would only succeed if most node runners agree to risk hurting themselves to stop BIP-110. Everyone else (whether they enforce BIP-110, hate BIP-110 but do nothing about it but argue online, or they don't care either way) would be pressing the Red button by default, which activates BIP-110.
So this is not a technical matter nearly as much as it is a matter of game theory & incentives, which are stacked significantly in BIP-110's favor."
Fin.

There have only been 2 times since I found Bitcoin when I've heard the term "eCoNoMiC n0dEs" screeched ad nauseam by one group in order to invalidate pleb nodes:
In 2017, from the big blockers, and
in 2026, from Core supporters.
Huh.

This looks fun! It uses AI to help you write a book all about your Bitcoin story & why Bitcoin matters to you. You then gift it to your children before they inherit your sats when you pass away, so they'll hopefully value it as much as you did.

My take on Primal: It's great...when it works (which is basically never). And I'd like to have more reaction options than a simple "❤️".
My take on Amethyst: It works great, with a few occasional hiccups while loading notes and searching.

You either get into Bitcoin to escape the fiat system regardless of price action, or you let the fiat system slowly eat you alive.

I'm not sure what my "best" piece of advice would be, but here's some advice I could think of now:
- Use pine wood chips for their bedding, not straw
- Don't change their bedding as often during the winter; their droppings will naturally add a few degrees of warmth to their coop
- Give them lots of protein, like black soldier fly larva
- That being said, they also love scraps of food, like fruits and vegetables, but they'll typically avoid citrus fruits
- In their coop, make sure their roosting bars are flat, like a 2x4 set with its wider side up; chickens won't sleep as well if they have to grip on a bar all night, so give them a place to sleep that's raised up, and wide enough for them to spread out their toes (which will be really important in the winter, when they're need to keep their feet tucked under them to keep them warm)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

Bitcoin always has been based on bushido, and the book on this topic explains a bushido that's based on Bitcoin.
Bushido is based on reality, which includes math. It's about the virtues that transcend both objectivity and subjectivity, and that which works best in bringing about the most goodness and beauty in the world.
Like the visual applications of the Fibonacci sequence throughout nature, Bitcoin's structure of proof of work, halvings, difficulty adjustments, etc, has a beautiful, mathematical elegance, founded firmly in the beautiful flow of reality.
As a result of this, interacting with Bitcoin can align our incentives with the way the universe works (i.e. lower time preference, higher virtues, etc)...but only if we allow it. We're free to resist those incentives, and with all the ugly grifting and infighting lately, it's clear that many of us are following our own way, rather than the way of truth, beauty, honor that Bitcoin was built from, and outlines for us.

I'll just leave this here.
"The Lord does not work in conspiracies, nor is it His will that anyone should shed blood, but He has forbidden it in all things, from the beginning of mankind.
"Now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and conspiracies, for it has been revealed to me that they exist among all people... They have caused the destruction of [the Jaredites] (likely the Olmec civilization), and also the destruction of the people of Nephi (likely the pre-Mayan people). And any nation that supports such conspiracies—to obtain power and gain, until they spread throughout their nation—shall be destroyed, for the Lord will not allow the blood of His saints, which will be shed by them, to forever cry out from the ground for vengeance, without avenging them.
"Therefore, O Gentiles, it is God's wisdom that these things should be shown to you, so that you may repent of your sins and not allow these murderous conspiracies—which are built up to get power and gain—to get power over you. If you permit them, then the work of destruction—yes, even your complete destruction—will come upon you. Indeed, the sword of the justice of the Eternal God will fall upon you, to your overthrow and ruin, if you allow these things to exist.
"Therefore, the Lord commands you, when you see these things arise among you, that you awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this conspiracy that will be in your midst. For woe to this conspiracy because of the blood of those who have been slain! For they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and upon those who built it up, for whoever builds it up seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries. And such conspiracies will bring about the destruction of all people, for they are built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies."
-Moroni, the Book of Mormon (New Reader's Edition)

Now I can't stop watching his videos. He was a Godly man and a genius, and I wish it hadn't taken this tragedy to get me to pay attention to him.

Today marks exactly 𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 from when I got into Bitcoin.
𝟭𝟬. 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. Honestly, it's hard for me to believe it. It feels like 5 years, at most.
https://media1.tenor.com/m/52QMk8vHgNkAAAAd/ten-years.gif
The following is my story of how I got into Bitcoin, & what's followed since then up to this point. It's primarily for posterity, so if you're uninterested, please keep scrolling. But I'd still like it to be out there, so if you are interested, I hope you enjoy what follows.
https://media1.tenor.com/m/apZGNL0878sAAAAC/the-office-interested.gif
I first heard the word "Bitcoin" in Feb 2014, while watching a YouTube video of an indy journalist cover current events. They said a subscriber had asked them to comment about Bitcoin, so they did, saying it was a Ponzi scheme, & warning their viewers to stay away from it. I thought that Bitcoin sounded like some new version of the old Nigerian Prince email scam, so I told myself to avoid it if I ever encountered it, shrugged it off, & promptly forgot about it...for the next year-and-a-half.
In early 2015, someone suggested I read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" to better understand why the Fed needs to be stopped. I found a free audiobook of it, & listened to it every day going to & from work (I was an assistant in a small retirement planning business). I remember the rage I felt against the Fed as I finished the audiobook. I could see that practically every problem in our society could be traced back to the creation of the Federal Reserve in some way. Ron Paul was absolutely right: we needed to end the Fed!
Just 2 days later, on 15 July 2015, my boss gave me an assignment to find news articles about the market, so he could comment on them during his weekly local radio show. I hit up MarketWatch & started searching through articles there. That was when I saw the title of a short article about Bitcoin. It was asking something along the lines of whether it would ever bounce back up (it was somewhere around $250 at the time). My first thought was "Bitcoin? Is that still a thing?" as I began scrolling past it.
What happened next I can only attribute to divine intervention.
I had grown up Mormon (though I'm no longer one), & had spent years feeling frustrated that very few would ever just give the Book of Mormon a chance, but would reject it without any thought or consideration. I had complained about such people for hours straight, often quoting Albert Einstein:
"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance."
"How could they be so closedminded?!?" I'd ask, often ready to just give up on humanity entirely.
So as I began to scroll past the article about Bitcoin, my mind was suddenly reminded about all those things, & a small voice entered my mind & said, "How hypocritical of you." I froze in mid-scroll, realizing I was doing exactly what I had so long despised others doing. So I clicked on the article. It didn't say much, so it wasn't very helpful. I was still pretty sure that Bitcoin was a scam, so I decided to look into it more, until I found enough evidence that it was a scam, so I could warn others against it with some solid reasoning.
After work, I searched online for more info, & after sifting through YouTube & passing up a lot of clearly garbage videos, I found some excellent videos from Andreas Antonopoulos, who explained Bitcoin in clear, simple, & incredibly impactful ways.
As the days went by, I found that Bitcoin wasn't a scam, but I thought of a handful of ways that it could possibly fail. If I was wrong about those possible failure scenarios, though, then Bitcoin would have 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 implications for the future of our society. So I researched every perceived weakness I thought Bitcoin had, to see whether or not it was really a problem. I asked questions on public web forums, & got lots of great answers ( @npub1q5u…6dh3 was there; thank you!), & one by one, each of my concerns were snuffed out.
About 2 weeks later, I could think of no more possible vulnerabilities. I remember pure hope hitting me like a lightning bolt, as I realized we now had a powerful replacement for the fiat system. As F. A. Hayek put it, it was "a sly, roundabout way" that "they can't stop."

At the time, my wife & I were basically living paycheck-to-paycheck, so we didn't have much to exchange for Bitcoin. But I found I was able to spare $5, so I created a Coinbase account (it was 2015, so my options were very limited), & I bought my first $5 of bitcoin.
I immediately began telling others about Bitcoin, starting with my wife & kids. I made many common mistakes early on, like thinking the future was "crypto" or "Blockchain", & not just Bitcoin, but I never bought any other cryptos (mostly due to a lack of funds, at first).
As the blocksize war heated up, I was a big blocker at first, but as I learned more, & became a Bitcoin maximalist, I saw the wisdom of smaller blocks & SegWit. I spun up my first node on a laptop, specifically so I could help decentralize the network & support the UASF.
Around that time, I got a new job doing package deliveries for FedEx, which allowed me to listen to Bitcoin podcasts & audiobooks all day, & learn even more about Bitcoin. @npub1h8n…rpev's "Cryptoconomy" (now Bitcoin Audible) podcast was especially influential for me.
But nothing could've prepared me for the Bitcoin Standard, by @npub1gdu…6nak. I had initially gotten into Bitcoin b/c it changes the world from the outside-in by replacing the fiat system. But learning about time preference showed me it also changes 𝙪𝙨 from the inside-out!
When I was Mormon missionary, I wasn't concerned with the number of converts; instead, I focused on how I could help permanently fix many of the world's problems by helping people change from the inside out through Jesus, just as God had helped me in my younger years. So when I saw how Bitcoin naturally incentivizes low time preference, leading to many positive lifestyle changes—physically, socially, financially, mentally, emotionally, & even spiritually—I knew that Bitcoin was a much bigger deal than I had ever considered before.
I had already been "geeking out" about Bitcoin to my wife, coworkers, friends, extended family, neighbors, & pretty much anyone I spoke to. I had even created an online Bitcoin-only group on MeWe, where members could share news & educational content, & talk about Bitcoin.
In one of the podcasts I had listened to, I had also learned about the Japanese concept of "Ikigai", or one's purpose for living. Another way to think of it is the 4-way combo of:
- What you love
- What you're good at
- What the world needs
- What the world will pay for
With all the ways Bitcoin fixes the world from the outside in, & all the ways it fixes us from the inside out, along with my desire to help people change from the inside out, & my geeky enthusiasm for Bitcoin, I decided to take on a new online username: 𝘨𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘪
But after learning all this, & knowing how important it was to onboard as many people as possible, I felt trapped in a job that took up almost all my time. How was I ever going to live my Ikigai if I was stuck in a delivery truck all day long, for most days of the week?
In August 2021, I started getting cluster headaches, which are like migraines that are clustered in a small area on the the side of the head, & usually strike at night (but not always). These made me incapable of delivering packages safely, so I had to leave FedEx.
While looking for work & healing from my cluster headaches, I decided that I should finally meet other Bitcoiners in person. The only local meetup I found was crypto-centric, but I checked it out, anyway. They had 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘤 levels of shitcoinery, so I left halfway through. So I created my own Bitcoin-only meetup for the Chattanooga area. On 1 October 2021, at block 703083, I started it with only myself, my oldest son, & 1 visitor there. That was all who showed up for the next few months, though the visitor was always a different person.
At the end of March 2022, I heard that @npub12ce…pm0f was looking for a couple volunteers to maintain their booth at the Bitcoin 2022 Conference. I still had no income, so going down to Florida to volunteer seemed insane, but I felt a spiritual "nudge" to do it anyway, so I did. Even with the shitcoiny stuff at the conference, it was unforgettable, & for me, simply life-changing. I got to meet many of the people who had helped me down the rabbit hole initially, & at the end of the conference, @npub12ce…pm0f offered me a job as their Community Manager.
I worked at @npub12ce…pm0f until July 2023, which was great, but I didn't agree with some of the things we wee doing. A friend of mine was working with @npub1dtg…up6m on @npub1tay…9l42, & they needed a Community Manager. So when they offered me the job, I excitedly accepted.
As the Community Manager for @npub1tay…9l42, I led the community in training the LLM on everything ever said about Bitcoin, & to answer questions the way Bitcoin maximalists would. Bitcoin education is closely tied to my Ikigai, so this project was pure joy to work on! One of my favorite mini-projects at the time was the 21 Questions book. I gathered the 21 most common & important questions about Bitcoin, & asked them of many well-known people in the Bitcoin space, along with @npub1tay…9l42, & compiled their answers into a single book.
But the @npub1tay…9l42 project wasn't very sustainable, so our team pivoted away from it, & to a genius idea of @npub1dtg…up6m's called @npub15xd…t3l3—a nostr-based combo of Trip Advisor, Nomad List, & Google Places. My role changed, & I became the "Ambassador Concierge". I love @npub15xd…t3l3, but I honestly felt like a fish out of water in my new role, as if I constantly needed to write with my left hand. Nothing was wrong with the business or anyone I was working with; I was just being called in another direction, & I was resisting it.
Last January, I had a lot of internal turmoil, & spent time praying, meditating, & working through my inner conflict. I visited El Salvador for the Plan ₿ Conference, where I spoke about @npub15xd…t3l3 at the Circular Economy Summit. There, I found the clarity I needed.
In El Salvador, I met many people doing exactly what I felt called to do. I also met old friends in ways that could not be mere coincidence. Combining these was enough to point me in the right direction, & inspire me to build a circular economy in the #Chattanooga area. This meant I had to leave @npub15xd…t3l3, though. So I stepped down from my position there in February, & immediately began building @npub1fdc…x779 from a small meetup (usually 6-12 attendees each month) to a nonprofit on a mission to turn #Chattanooga into a Bitcoin city.
It's had a slow start, but in the last few months we've gone from 1 business in the area accepting bitcoin to 7, & more are on the way. I'm now giving monthly Bitcoin workshops at a location downtown, & attending business expos, where I orange pill visitors to my booth. Another @npub1fdc…x779 initiative is what I'm calling Proof of Work. It'll provide flexible, part-time work that pays in sats, so participants can earn KYC-free bitcoin for savings. It's in the early stages & I'm working with a cleaning company. It's looking very promising!
A lot has happened in 10 years, & these were just highlights! Most of my 5 older kids (ages 11-18) can't remember a time before I discovered Bitcoin, & my 18-month-old was literally hearing about it before he was born! After me, he's the biggest Bitcoin geek in our family!
If you read all that, wow! I really didn't expect you to.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, & thank you to everyone I've met along the way, whether you were mentioned here or not. Bitcoin brings so much hope, & you're a bigger part of that than you realize.
Here's to another 10 years! I look forward to discovering the adventures they'll bring.
🧡

You're not retarded.
You're a genius in a retarded world.

I told a friend of mine about @npub1ujh…z495 yesterday, and I just got this text from her:

You're absolutely right, but ironically, the ones who want to "fix"/remove the filters say the Bitcoin-is-money maximalists are the bcashers. 🤷‍♂️

Pre-1971, the Fed could print money, but only when a precedent made it palatable for the public (e.g.: war, after propaganda).
But then Nixon removed that filter, which didn't work anyway, and the rest is history.
Do we really want the equivalent of that for spam in Bitcoin?
